Tomato in the sink

I got new glasses.

Actually, I just got my sunglasses turned into my new glasses.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
So you have already seen my glasses.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Maybe not from so many angles.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But you've seen them.

There is a tomato plant growing in our bathroom sink at work. One of the tomatoes just ripened, I'm pretty sure nobody is going to eat it.

look out

Our staircase might be a little dangerous in the dark.

The light is actually just the cameras flash.

This is what it actually looks like.

Here is a snake we found. I wanted to take it with us to the bar, Megan was slightly less enthusiastic about this plan.

Megan had just made a very funny joke...at Steve's expense.

I had taken a pretty cool picture of Maureen. She felt the need to delete said photograph.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
She has been banned from touching any awesome or awsome cameras.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And, I could have deleted this picture that looks as if she has contracted a strange eye disease, but I'm not going to.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
And we can all look forward to a future post featuring all pictures of Maureen.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We can do one for Lexi as well, because she is always very nice about having her picture taken.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Megan wanted to learn more about Joey.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This did not go over well.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
In the end; Joey brought us Rockstar + Jagermeister (I think they call it a Jagerbomb, or possibly the grossest flavor of cough medicine).

All of lifes questions

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I don't really understand these "hippies use backdoor <--->" signs, is it some kind of joke that you only get if you are a hippie or were alive in the 60's or are stoned on "grass"? And why has this version of the sign been modified to only point one direction?
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is a broken house raised up on cinder blocks. Is this what you put in your front yard when you are a rich hillbilly?
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I really wish I needed a sign made.

This is the mother load of milk crates, you know how many makeshift bookshelves you could make out of all those?...a lot. Guess where I found them?...the milk factory.

Awesome indeed.

Historical acuracy

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is a short(ish) story: About a year ago the Douglas County Museum of Cultural and Natural History put up their wine exhibit (I did "work" at the opening of this show, so there ought to be a post about it, I distinctly remember wanting to comment that one particular person's boyfriend was an asshole and that their was a tasty truffle infused cheese and that it may have been the event that led to the ultimate exile of Ben Brady. But the post is lost somewhere between June and November 2007). For the exhibit the museum director, Gardener Chappell, commissioned a local artist to create a small gold colored sculpture/carving of Bacchus. When Gardener saw the sculpture he had commissioned, he said (I paraphrase) "That sculpture is hideous, I'm not paying for that". So the sculpture was shoved into a broom closet and the artist's invoice was ignored. Christmas time rolls around and there is a pot luck/secret Santa event, Lee Ann brings said Bacchus sculpture as her secret Santa gift, because the Douglas County Museum off Cultural and Natural History wants nothing to do with it. At the secret Santa event; David ended up taking the sculpture home. So a few months later Maggie and David are packing up their apartment (which was above mine, in case you forgot) and as it turns out; they have a lot more stuff than they thought. So I end up with the Bacchus sculpture, not because I want it mind you, just because it wont fit in thier car. So I put Bacchus in the garden as a decorative alternative to a lawn gnome. Their Bacchus stays, until my new neighbor moves in, plants a flower bed (in what I was calling a garden but was really a dirt pile) and moves Bacchus because she thinks he's creepy. Ok, Bacchus has been moved and was just hanging out next to my dead potted plants. Now I am moving out, I put Bacchus in the car with plans of setting him up at the new place. I go by the Douglas County Museum of Cultural and Natural History to give Lee Ann a record player and a TV, while I am doing this; Lee Ann moved something from her trunk to Gardener's trunk. I said "hey! is Gardener's car open?". So I put Bacchus in Gardener's drivers seat. I wish I could have stuck around to see him get his Bacchus back.

Crepe master

I suppose breakfast barbecue season is coming to an end.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
That's ok. We recently learned that Matt is a crepe master.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Maybe different breakfasts require different distributions of labor.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
There was definitely more team involvement in today's crepe-fest.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Delicious team involvement.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Did I mention that Matt is the Crepe Master. I think he said he had seen them made on the food channel this one time.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I threw coffee grounds in the yard not really thinking that the dog might eat them and get sick.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Of course she tried to eat them.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is my punishment for, accidentally, trying to kill the dog.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
You can only be so sorry...

This photo just shows the mess, not the six plus bottles of champagne (style beverage).

Did I mention that Matt is the Crepe Master?

I spilled water all over my desk.

Now it's the cleanest it's been in months.

Until everything dries and we go back to the pile system.

I believe I have posted this Barbara Streisand album cover on this blog before (actually it looks like this will be the third time). It just never ceases to creep me out. (on Barbara Streisand's website there is one section for debunking rumors about her and another where you can read her political commentary)

Waited too long for bargains on summer/barbecue items.
