No Time

I have been trying all weekend to sit down and blog, but it seems like I just haven't had any time. At all! I've wanted to re-work my blog so that I can add links to other people's blogs I really enjoy reading, but I just can't devote the 20 or 30 minutes to it. I'm hoping I'll have some "down time" on Thanksgiving and the day after (my two days off!).

Vic & I spent all weekend ~ that's ALL FREAKING WEEKEND ~ splitting firewood. I love our little wood-burning stove, but we have to take any wood we get for it and make it smaller. So instead of spending all winter axing away, we rented a log splitte at our handy neighborhood testosterone-laden rent-all place, got about a gazillion logs and started splitting away. It's a lot easier than the old axe method, but still pretty back-breaking work. And I've got a nice roaring fire a-blazing away right now. But all this splitting left me no time to blog.

I was also busy writing a paper. Not just any paper, mind you, but a grade appeal request. I'm appealing the grade I received in Pathophysiology during the Summer. I missed getting an A by 9/10ths of a point and my instructor is an unapproachable snitty bitch-face who screwed up my perfect 4.0 GPA, so I'm appealing on the grounds that she's a snitty bitch-face. Of course, I worded it a little differently and sprinklin in some big words like "attainable" and "participatory" so that it would sound a little better. I figure it can't hurt to try and if nothing else, it'll inconvenience her over the holiday.

Now to the 3 day old feast...

I worked at my grandma's ice cream parlor. She paid me, so I guess it counts. My first job where I was introduced to the wonder of FICA and social security tax was at McDonald's.

To the craft room. I still haven't come up with an appropriate name for that room yet!

I am embarrassed when I smile. I had a bout of Bell's Palsy 12 years ago and it left me with a crooked smile.
