Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
And I remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said "I like living like this."

So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs off and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Well a few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench
I whispered "Honey let's just go on home
And have some onion rings and watch TV."
And as I walked her to the truck
Earl was cryin' "Don't you leave me!"
I told him...

"This is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes shes runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck."

I just realized I'm stopping by Walmart on the way home and there's a winter storm warning. What was I thinking?

Heh, I stopped at the grocery store after picking up Joseph and getting the van gassed up. There were lots of folks, but I know it will be worse in the morning! There were quite a few folks in the likker store too! Hey, if you're stuck in the house... I got three different bottles of Chilean Sauv. Blanc to see which I like the best, and a couple of bottles of Reisling for SirKit.

Joseph can bring in some firewood in the morning, and we'll be good to go! ;o)

In the morning, Clare and I are helping the Town Unit unload Girl Scout cookies for the different troops to collect. Glad the snow is holding off til the afternoon!

I figure if nothing else, some folks who are in between the Tacoma/Olympia area and Seattle may jump for Microsoft jobs and leave stuff behind fer me. ;-)

I've been applying for jobs this week...hopefully I hear back on some right around the time I get there. *fingers crossed*

I probably should redo my resume for each application. *sigh* It's a pain in the butt, though.

Evenin'. Well I made it. The week is done. I'm at my favorite place in the whole wide world - home. Home with my sweetie (who took me out to dinner so I didn't have to cook.) We catching up on some TiVo and then we'll watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

Big'ol has already put *all* of the hockey games on the TiVo... hehhehee

I thought the compound was supposed to be a little less... dunno... close to civilization.

Well, you can be 'close to' civilization without being right smack dab IN it!

They are, left to right: Johnny (Human Torch) Storm, Ben (The Thing) Grimm, Sue (Invisible Woman) Storm, and Reed (Mr. Fantastic) Richards.

Sue has two powers: she can turn invisible, and also generate invisible force fields.

Most excellent, Rosie!

Everything's coming together. :-)

Now all you need is a job at Microsoft. *wink*
