Taking advantage of the weather

Due: September 14th, 2009

This will be my first request of many, if this baby is a girl, to not get it anything pink. Of course, I will most definitely appreciate the kindness of anyone who wants to buy anything for the baby, be it hot pink, fuschia or rose. I'm just saying, it's merely a request (as futile as it may be). We'll be finding out the sex of Cletus the Fetus later this month and will be happy to share the news when we get it.

Bus People: March 16th

Can you kick him?

A homeless (or not) man has been sleeping on the doorstep of our office until 7am every morning this week. Hard to get into your office at 6am when someone is lying across the doorstep. I say homeless or not because yesterday morning he left some keys on the doorstep and this morning he left two small paintings, a sandwich wrapper and some spilled, unidentifiable liquid.

I called my boss at 6am on Monday to explain the situation, but since she was half-asleep (and rightly so) she sounded pretty confused and asked me if I could just kick him. I was scared to death to get near him so I called the non-emergency police and they never showed. Awesome. My coworker and I ended up simply waiting for him to leave.

Because he was here again this morning, my boss is coming to work at 6am to (perhaps literally) kick him out of our office space. She is much more brave than I am. Maybe it's just me, but strangers sleeping on the ground in the dark are scary. And possibly dangerous.

To be continued...?

Bus People: March 6th

So....this guy. This guy was having a rough time handling the other bus goers. Here is right before his outburst.

Here he is right after his outburst. Note the blurry hand. It had just come down from waving an angry bird at the entire country of China while he graced us all with a few choice expletives.

Couldn't help but notice his interesting method of shoe tying.

A little taste...

New items on Stubborn Fish. Take a look.

Warning...it's a mushy one

I don't normally brag about how great my husband is or make mushy remarks via blog, but I have to recognize Scott's chivalry today. If you don't want to read on, you can turn back now.

Ok...you were adequately warned. My work schedule for the next 2 months has me coming into the office at 6AM twice a week. On those days I walk 3/4 mile to the bus stop at about 5AM. Right before I left this dark, rainy morning, Scott woke up and without being requested, decided to walk me all the way to the stop so that I would be safer. FYI, Scott is not a morning person...no offense Scott. I told him he doesn't have to do this every time I need to leave early, but he's set on joining me on this disgustingly early walk every week. Seriously? What a gem. I never doubt that I married the right person.
