Poor Tiger. He was at the vet’s to have mats trimmed out of his fur; they gave him a full lion cut by mistake. He looks like a doofus. #
@shadow Michigan! Obvy I am behind. But I feel pretty certain I stuck my arm out the window in some place in Indiana so, I still got her. #
Successfully avoided impulse, unnecessary purchase while buying silly gift for $coworker. Yay me! #

Oh, boy. It’s Drunken Revelers at the Hotel o’clock! How I love Drunken Revelers at the Hotel o’clock! #
Also: Fucking White Sox. What, I leave town for a few days and you get all “oooh, let’s blow our tiny tiny lead?” GET IT BACK. #

Made about 750 miles of 810 before the check engine light came on for the first time ever. Happy vacation to me! #
At the mechanic, listening to CNN whine about why mean Obama won’t tell them who his running mate is yet. #
So, so, so, so, so bored. #
$363 later, I have full confidence in my car once more. Despite what others may think. #

And am now in the slowest ever concession stand line. #
@mizmoose Shrimpy Goes to LISA? Jeeez, you know how long it’s been since I thought about that!??! #
@smokes70 Where else — our fantastic and convenient (with one whole indoor ice rink to serve the entire city!) park district! #
Oh, such a long day. Such a long, long day today. And not over yet. #
@mizmoose Where did the pictures go? I distinctly remember pictures. But I think it predates my Flickr usage so I am helpless! #
-0.4 (-6.2). Yay! #
So psyched! The extension office just called me back! I can finally get my new (to me) pressure canner tested! HOORAY!!! #
Just killed an hour at http://cakewrecks.com/. There is some astonishingly bad taste out there. #
Make that http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/. See, I was so astonished I couldn’t remember the URI! #
<wasy> go get a beer!
<twork> “it’s a vacation in a can!” #
I hate dropping Tiger to leave him at the vet’s while I go off to have fun out of town. :( #
