( Why is Sebastian Bach on the cover of W Magazine? )
Seriously! If her name wasn't on the cover, I might not have figured out that was her.

If you go to the comments.... and if they are not scrubbed.... I liked the New Frontier in Vegas. And that was just a GREAT sign. And a wonderful piece of art, a wonderful piece of history... the way people don't do them anymore.... and even though there were interest parties that were working on ways to get the sign down so it could be preserved, he had to be a douche who was worried about "the view" from his new tower and the sign went down.... and fell apart.
You suck, Steve Wynn. We try to get to Vegas twice a year and I will never, ever, never, ever again spend a penny at one of your places... but I might just throw a whole roll of toilet paper in the bowl and flush to give you a tribute.

dibranchia... (even though I know if Leigh does this one, I'll feel more like a rube....)The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."
1. I like to dance and sing to myself when I do the dishes.
2. My favorite part about working out is the post-workout smoke. Healthy!!
3. I wish I could take a snow day, but I used up my one "not accounted for" day last Friday. I hate that the system at the new place only gives us new peeps time based on each month we've worked there, not by week. If it was by week, I wouldn't have to worry so much about keeping days open for Vegas in March.
4. I've lost 16 pounds since the start of the year. Go me!! How I love my lovely new Palm with the WW software on it.
5. I hate the smell of lamb when it's cooking. I think it's the fat. Bleech.
6. I'm utterly obsessed with my fingernails.
7. I collect way, way, WAY too many cookbooks.
Andpraguematic has already pretty much gotten us all, hasn't she??

A pre-lit tree is supposed to be easy, right?
I bought a pre-lit tree last year, on the encouragement of the mother in law, and it was a breeze last year.
This year? HA.
Been struggling with it for over 4 hours, changed some fuses, plugged each strand of lights directly in to power and they all work that way. But plugged in as they are supposed to be, one damned strand is not working. Grrr.
Update.... another 4 hours later... I identified the partial string of lights that is the problem. It should be 50 lights.
I was through changing out 48 of the lights and looking for the last two. Found the last two, tried those, still no luck.
Then I look down and see one of the lights I had already changed, somewhere, had fallen out.
I give up for the night. Damned tree.

I hate the first Monday after the fall time change.
Sure, Sunday is really nice, when you wake up and find there is an extra hour added to your day.
Monday morning when you wake up, not too much different than the past week.
But as the day goes on, the darkness creeps up early. Around 4pm you realize, it's gonna be dark by the time 5:30 rolls around, and you'll be leaving work in the dark. No fun.

So... we're back at home, in between the ceremony and reception for the man's cousin.
I really didn't look at the invite before we went to the church. Hubby said he knew where we were going. "My brother said it's the place just up the block from him."
I should have known better than to trust him. We park the car, we walk in, and no one looks familar. He grabs a program for the wedding... you guessed it.... not the wedding we were supposed to be attending!!
Neither of us had our cell phones on us, so we figured we were screwed and decided tor just head home. On the way, passed another place.... also just up the block from his brother's house... and investigated the parking lot. Ding ding ding! Right wedding!!
I was laughing so hard the whole time. And we were still on time, despite the hubby's best efforts.

The hum and the thump thump thump of the dryer is driving me crazy right now.
If I was smarter, I'd have started my laundry earlier in the day. But I guess I'm not.
And I'm stuck here, late in the evening, listening to the thump thump thump and the hum and just waiting for it to stop, so I can fold my clothes and be done.
If I was like the hubby, I wouldn't care, I'd just let it go and happily pull out wrinkled clothes tomorrow. Or rather, non-wrinkled clothes since for some odd godamned reason, men's work clothes are all wrinkle free. But women's aren't. Grrrr.
I hate it when I think the dryer has stopped... and I listen for another ten seconds, and it's still going.
Curse you, dryer. Curse you.
