Mystery Qtip

March 19, 2008 by Maren 6 Comments

I have recently (November) got another piercing on my ear.  This morning, I was cleaning the piercing with a qtip dipped in the ear cleaning solution that comes with a piercing (along with all the paperwork that you have to sign your life away in the event that the ear or additional appendage falls off due to the piercing).  I dropped my qtip and here’s how it landed…

So I thought I should go buy a lottery ticket or something. Today was my lucky day!  I was amazed that it landed this way, until I decided to wet another one to see if it was a fluke or if I could replicate this amazing feat.  This is was what happened on the first attempt to recreate the javelin-style qtip throw after the coincidental vertical landing.

I’d now like to express that though psycho cat was impressed, now I’m depressed & my hopes have been oppressed and my irritation repressed…I digress.

Now go javelin-throw your qtips (C’mon, you know you want to…), and Happy Wednesday.

Eclipse

February 23, 2008 by Maren 8 Comments

This week, on the night of the eclipse, I went out about every 10 minutes and took a picture.  Here’s the slide show of the shots, all taken with the same settings, expect the very last one.  On that one, I kept the shutter open longer to get the pretty color–sorry it’s kind of blurry– It was FREEZING, I couldn’t find my tripod attachment, and I couldn’t keep still!

To cheer you up, Krista, my friend! FEEL BETTER SOON!

Love these kids…

This was supposed to be a “mean face” pose.

And last but not least…ever have those voicemails that you just can’t bring yourself to delete?  Here are my two favorite that I’ve saved since August and November.  Again, from some of my favoritest little people in the world!

When Life isn’t so blogg-y

January 10, 2008 by Maren 3 Comments

The past few months haven’t felt so blogg-ish–thus my hiatus from the world of Xanga.  I’ve been doing other important things with my time, like applying for Survivor (definitely said with sarcasm–if only they would pick me…sigh…).  While true, I can’t give any good excuses for my lack of blogging except that sometimes my valleys in life seem to continue on for a little longer than typical and the past couple of months have been that way.

I’m weary today.  I’m hoping that I will be able to go to more standard hours at work soon as my new, current fluctuating schedule has really worn me out.  From now until our newest team member gets her clearance, I will be maintaining a crazy work schedule 54 hour work weeks.  I’m only on week one of this, and I’ve been tired for 3 days now.  It’s do-able of course, because the end is in sight, yet simultaneously a death sentence because who knows how long it will take???

Onto other things– My cousin got married 2 weeks ago.  Below are pictures of our trip (I’m trying a new program and it may not work…If not, I’ll post them soon…)  My little brother couldn’t make it, otherwise it was a great time with family!
