Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Right. Except Heroine skips the "give to the poor" bit of the whole silly philosophy and goes with a "give to me" motto. It's actually kind of fun to write someone who has so little in common with me.
I think I will take off early here.. this weather is insanely nice. It was 30 this morning but now it is 70, breezy and the trees are at just the right point in their change to feel like the peak of fall.
Aw, come on!1 It's a Southern thang!
~sigh~
My parents got the jedis some Xbox games. Expensive ones, so they are naturally apprehensive about them getting delivered. I understand that and have been watching for them all day because on-line tracking said they were being delivered today.
So I got an email from my folks saying that according to the on-line tracking, "The package has been delivered". Well, it wasn't out there and that's not uncommon, I've had that happen before. I think my delivery guy cheats or something, I don't know. But I wasn't worried. It always shows up a little while later.
I wrote them back and told them this but had the sinking feeling that I wasn't believed. No proof, but just know from experience, you know?
So when the UPS guy delivered the package about 30 minutes after I got my folks email saying it had already been delivered...I took A PICTURE of the UPS guy holding a clock! LOL!
I've used the UPS tracking before. Sometimes it will say something has been delivered when it's just on the truck. I don't think it's an exact science.
Didja send 'em the picture?
ak! Time travel! You better keep an eye out for the ninja llamas from the future!
No sense trying to tell them that though...only a picture proving it would work.
Didja send 'em the picture?
Dang right I did.
:-)
Bring 'em on...I'm starving.
Did you e-mail it to your folks? ;o)
Heh, I see that you did! Did you tell the guy why you were taking his picture with a clock?
Heh, yep...I told him.
Steve says, "What's the point? Why bother going to such lengths?"
But reality is truth and truth is very important to me because when I was young, reality had no meaning and all I could hold on to was truth, even when it seemed to contradict reality (or at least what I was told was reality.)
I bet that doesn't make any sense to you. But there it is.
Proving a truth always makes me feel so good!
For only a couple of minutes.
Then it just feels hollow. Because Steve is right...there's no point.
Makes perfect sense to me... Afternoon everyone, I've been non-chatty today because I've been fighting a headache since I got up.
But my feet feel great, and I'm going to town now to pick up horse bedding and bird food.
Back later :~D
You should take a Morning Relief. Fabulous stuff.
Noble. Heh! I like that word.
HA! I told the boys they had nine minutes to eat candy! Ha ha!! You should see 'em...the wrappers are flying!
She picked up her pace as she passed in front of the gaping window of a pawnshop. Twisted iron rails protected the glass from would-be thieves and vandals though most of the merchandise was locked away at night in tight metal boxes and taken home by the shopkeeper.
Pausing briefly, she narrowed her eyes and peered through the black railings lining the window. Nothing remained on the display shelf but a few shabby books, chipped plates and a burned-out toaster.
Remembering the shop owner’s tendency to arrive before sunrise, Promise moved away from the window and resumed her course to the park. The thought of Guido Santaloni appearing out of the pre-dawn gloom was far from appealing.
Guido, toaster, pawnshop...check.
hehe... hmmm sugar high!
yeah, this is
mine
