Because I haven't given you enough randomness thus far.

Who says 'thus far'? Seriously? Is it just me? Oh well.

Hello! Today is brought to you by the colors yellow (like the sun!) and green (like the trees!) and the nickel I just found in the pocket of my skirt. What's amusing about said nickel is that this is a new skirt and this is the first time I'm wearing it.

See? Target pays me to wear clothes. Trufax.

So, let's see. What haven't I complained about yet? Honestly, there's not much to complain about lately. In fact, things are pretty good! My boss was on vacation for the last two weeks, so work's been good, aside from SHERRY THE TABLE SHAKER. The heat and humidity finally broke late yesterday evening and today is absolutely 100% mondo gorgeous out. It feels much like it did on the 4th. Warm in the sun, cool in the shade with a nice breeze to temper it all out. Not a cloud in the bright blue sky and I can smell grilled food and I can smell burning leaves. Which, you know, is a fall scent but whatevs. It's one of my faves, so I won't complain about it.

I've made two--COUNT 'EM--two new friends in the last week or so, one here (Cassandra <3) and one IRL. Part of me thinks I am only being friends with him because of his SWEET 1955 Ford Thunderbird. I sort of have a thing for old cars. A friend of mine at work has an uncle who's selling a 1957 Ford Fairlane Skyliner hard top convertible, for a not terribly extravagant price, BUT...my new friend, K, his dad owns one of the bigger classic car restorers in the city and they have a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, which, you know, I might be willing to give up my first born for. And it's RED. Gah.

That reminds me. Has anyone else seen the retro Post cereal boxes or the retro M & Ms bags? Because if not, I think I'm going effing crazy. I swear I saw them at the grocery store yesterday but I can't find them, or any reference to them, anywhere online.

P.S. Can you tell I like retro, vintage things?

Right now I'm getting ready to make some (hopefully) tasty gluten-free chocolate chip cookies because, honestly, a girl can only eat so many M&Ms for dessert before getting sick of them.

Speaking of getting sick of things, I'm going to shut up now. Because really, this much sunshine and happiness just makes me ill.

I never find money in MY news clothes. I demand a refund!

And I knew it. The truth comes out. You're totally just being friends with him for his car, aren't you? Car lover. Hm wait. That was supposed to come out as an insult, but that didn't work. Oh well!

I think you're going crazy. There are no retro cereal boxes! Who would do that? You's seeing things chicky.

(seriously? chicky? ok i'm going now.)

Right. His car. DID I MENTION HIS HAIR?

And there's no "going" crazy. I'm already there, babe.

(Do you have any idea how long it took me to type those two sentences correctly? Eesh.)

Hi Ranger! Fancy meeting you here!

(And I totally had to type mine like 4 times before I got it right too. We are WIN.)

Hahahaha. I was like, bwuh?

[identity profile] shutterloubug.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
hahaha. I've got Ranger on the mind lately! :D

[identity profile] sarijw.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What book are you on?...yo.

[identity profile] shutterloubug.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
*giggle*

And still on book 11. One of these days I am going to sit down and read and finish it damnit!

[identity profile] sarijw.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Book 11 is good, though. One of my faves. I have a hard time choosing between 10 - 12. 13s not bad, but 14 is just damn funny. It's Morelli-centric, but there's tons of Ranger in it, too. XD

[identity profile] shutterloubug.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay more Ranger! So far, 10 is definitely my favourite. It was SO funny, and plus? Mmm lots of Ranger XD But 11 is really good so far too. They're all so good!

You will LOVE the end of 11. Nothing he says, but his reaction to certain events. LOVE.

Eeeeee ok now I can't wait! MUST READ FASTER!

[identity profile] shutterloubug.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. Maybe the hair too.

Good hair AND a cool car. What more do you need! :D

[identity profile] sarijw.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
OH AND THE CLOTHES.

I look good just by association.

You should keep him around to make you look even more awesome.

I THINK HE STEPPED OUT OF HAIRSPRAY. ZOMG!

Oooh can he dance? XD

Yes, that's right. Link Larkin lives in my pocket.
