These are five things that public_shaylan associates with me and what I have to say about them. If you comment, I will give you five things, and then you can pass it on.


Nagel: Patrick Nagel...that wonderful artist who captures women in a very monochrome colorset, with out blending or modern thoughts to shading...kinda art deco, kinda modern but all beautiful. I only own one of his prints. which really isn't sexy but its of a cloaked lady and a horse..very powerful and I had to have it. It was the first art I ever bought myself. There is another artist I liked when I was in ND and I need to find them again....also did really neat ladies but in a very soft style versus the start contrast in nagel.

Lots of fun family traditions for holidays: Most of these traditions are Kemp traditions which include: Pie for breakfast, 1 pie per person coming to dinner +1 equals variety, stockings of hugeness but the final one is lasagna for xmas eve and that is a my mom tradition.

joe's: What else can we say. Joe's pancake house is home. We're regulars, the know us, they miss us when we are gone and they keep the coffee flowing. Nothing fancy but hearty fair.

viking paparazzi:Yeah, that viking girl with the camera on the corner of that pennsic postcard is me. Nuff said.

US Midwestern/northern culture:I will not be comfortable if you come to my house unless I get you something to drink and/or eat. Its poor manners if I don't do it. I make mel wear his wedding ring when we go back north so the old ladies don't give him the stink eye. And I'll make Jello salad for anything...cause I lived above the jello line for too long.

There's a polar bear
In our Fridgitydaire—
He likes it 'cause it's cold in there.
With his seat in the meat
And his face in the fish
And his big hairy paws
In the buttery dish,
He's nibbling the noodles,
He's munching the rice,
He's slurping the soda,
He's licking the ice.
And he lets out a roar
If you open the door.
And it gives me a scare
To know he's in there—
That polary bear
In our Fridgitydaire

Happy Day 7 -- 12/13/2008
My hubby was very understanding and let me stay home and be pathetically sick on the couch.
Quote of that day:
"You know where you can find sympathy? In the dictionary between shit and syphillus!"
Its sick and sad and mad me guffaw

Happy Day 8 -- 12/14/2008
Richard came over with still warm from the oven homemade (as in from scratch not pillsbury) cinnamon rolls and coffee was ready when I walked out of the bathroom...yeah, me.

So, I just had one of our chief engineers say "You do good work and are highly valued!"

I hope that means promotion....that would be kewl.


Course I wish I felt physically better....eh.

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same.

Day 1 (12/6/2008):
Shopping with the hubby for presents is so fun. We really enjoy doing T4T and the Angel tree and we really reassured a lady that her adult kids were okay for wanting legos. (as our cart was full of them).

Day 2: (12/7/2008):
Office Depot now has a card reader on their copy machine...and I was right on my scaling of the font...10% was all it needed.
