Radioactive

Have you ever been cleaning out your Grandparents house and thought....

"Hey, I wonder if there is any radiation around here."

I know, I know, haven't we all been there?

So, PHEW, boy were we relieved to find TWO geiger counters in the basement there.  Ya know...just in case.

(yes, this is what a professional...uh geiger counter-er? looks like)

Shockingly, we didn't find any radiation. There were however several other good finds....check back soon to see more of the uncovered treasures!

Behold your future.

I had a meeting on Saturday morning in which we were all joking about the number of purple pens in our lives...when one friend discovered...count them:

That's right SIX DIFFERENT PURPLE PENS in her purse..and multiples of some which are not pictured.  We all had a good laugh and moved about our day.

Then comes Sunday.  (dun dun dun) When Andy and I were assisting in the cleaning our of my grandparent's house....

where we discovered (among many, many, many other collections not pictured) a box full of wheels and castors:

A huge overflowing box of ....paint sticks?

and...

wait for it...

not 1.

not 2.

but THREE BOXES of pinecones.

 (yes, pine cones.)

hey, at least their labeled.
< I love things that are labeled.eek.>

So needless to say, as I was looking back at the purple pen picture...it suddenly struck me that it was less funny...and more...let's say more of a gateway drug to a larger problem.

Jackie - behold your future. :)

and probably mine too.

Arnold cousins -- I can't wait for Christmas.  You'll never guess what you're getting!!!

more to come on the house cleaning treasure finds.

footloose...

This is a facebook post from my cousin-in-law Jake:

Did you ever wonder if your day was getting off on the wrong foot (no pun intended)? I think I need to start turning a light on when I get dressed at 5:30 in the morning

Thank you Jake for a good laugh on a Friday!  I hope your day got better from here!

Save the neck for me, Clark.

i go to college: big office

Today's college student gem comes from a young gentleman, a self identified freshman, who randomly popped into my office this afternoon. His mission, apparently, was to tell me that he has a couple classes in this building, and he always looks in offices as he walks down the office and I have "a big ass office".

That was all he wanted -- to tell me that I have the biggest office he has noticed so far.

um, thanks?

Hmm. Interesting: Hedge balls

This was in the grocery store during a recent visit to Minnesota.

We could all get rich...88 cents at a time!

PS. Maybe the 'DO NOT EAT' wouldn't be quite a necessary if this wasn't set up in the middle of the produce section..just saying.

this is why we can't be friends: grocery list

Yay for a new recurring blog entitled "this is why we can't be friends" dedicated to reasons that Andy and I cannot be friends.

Yesterday as I was leaving work Andy and were talking on the phone about what I needed to get at the grocery store. He was at home so I asked him to email me the list, as I could not talk on the phone, drive and write down the list. As I'm walking through the grocery store I get the list on my phone...this is what it says:

apples/fruit

bananas

cheese

fart machine

milk

wheat chex

tortillas

bread

jelly

Fart machine. This is why we can't be friends.
