MY HALF OF THIS CONVO = IRRELEVANT
KATHRYN: I watched Psycho last night, the orig, as inspired by the "old lady" who lives across the street.
KATHRYN: And her son who comes by to do yard work, shovel sidewalk, but I've never seen them in the same place at the same time!
KATHRYN: While this is funny, it's also very serious. They have the EXACT same profile.
KATHRYN: And when I saw the old woman this morning standing at the bus stop (I was in the car at a stop sign) I took a good look (as she looked back at me) and she looks like her son wearing lipstick....
KATHRYN: I AM SO FREAKED OUT!
KATHRYN: The creepy thing is, this old lady is always watching us (and we her).
KATHRYN: Like sometimes I look out my window, and she's standing at the bus stop looking right in.
“Emma, you are da bomb!”
– my 60ish, female coworker. Things I have also been called by a coworker this week: baby (40s, female) and kiddo (40s male). Actually to be honest, that duo ALWAYS call me baby and kiddo respectively. It’s kind of hilarious/adorable.
NO PICS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
I am so full I had to unbutton my pants to eat a buckeye. It was the right choice.
What do your dreams mean? →
jessicalindsey:
Last night I dreamed I was about to go skydiving. That sounds like the worst thing EVER, so I was wondering if it might mean something. According to the above link:
Skydiving
To dream that you are skydiving, represents your high ideals. Sometimes you may need to compromise these ideals and be more realistic of your expectations.
This is surprisingly relevant to my life right...
Jacob's Fucking Ladder Revisited
maryrambin:
So instead of the usual 2 rounds with ole Jacob, trainer Bob made us go 3!
On Tuesday I hit 203 and 17something. Tonight, whoa, I rocked Jacob.
#1 - 217
#2 - 204
#3 - 201
The record is 240. Before I leave Houston, I’m at 241. Mark my words. As Bob says, it’s ONLY 13 more steps. Yeah, uh huh. Easy for him to say standing there :)
If you have no idea what I’m talking...
“When I sign books for married couples, I always ask if they have kids. And then...”

WOE IS ME
My blog is not the only thing I neglected this past week while my college roommate was visiting. Since last Wednesday I had run a total of two (2!) miles on the treadmill. So my idea to hop on and do an easy three-miler? WAS THE THREE-MILER OF DOOM. Freal guys, it feels like I haven’t worked out in months instead of mere days. Time to gain back that cardiovascular fitness…
WILL TIPPIN IS NOT GAY [SIGH]
Me: [talks about Alias...] and Will Tippin's favorite movie is "The Philadelphia Story".
My mom: And he's gay.
Me: No! He's a reporter, he liked the witty repartee!
My mom: He's a reporter and he's gay!
Me: [makes petulant face] WILL TIPPIN IS NOT GAY.
My mom: [laughs]
