• Sun, 12:35: Something I've got set up is double posting to twitter. I HATE that. If I can figure out which service uses what short URL, I can fix it.
• Sun, 12:38: Okay, if I post publicly to LJ, it will post a j.mp link to twitter. That means Posterous is causing the multi-tweets. I'll skip Posterous.
• Sun, 12:39: I think I'm gonna take my bored kid to Wal-mart. We can buy impatiens (the only thing that blooms in shade) & plant them in the front yard.
• Sun, 15:52: Oh my goodness. Dolmas on the olive bar at Kroger. My day is made.
• Sun, 15:56: Hey Twitter! Are any of y'all also on Path?
• Sun, 15:58: Target had special hairbrushes for people with extremely thick hair. Same size brush with much longer bristles. SCORE!!
• Sun, 17:40: Woodchuck's Spring cider tastes AMAZING with BBQ. The sweet & the spicy all together. AWESOME.

Where my peeps at?!

Photography alert! wild_photos is a photo community that opens every so often. The idea is that members show off the place they live! This year the dates are July 28-August 4, which MIGHT afford me 2 options: here where I live in Jonesboro, & then shots of Frisco, Texas where my in-laws live (& I consider it a second home, as familiar as I am with it). Thanks much to curiouswombat, community maintainer, who pimped it on her journal!

Waiting on my parents to come over & install the basement wall mount for our TV. I should currently be washing at least 2 sets of scrubs, as I'm working for the next 2 days. One good thing about working every other weekend with a short staffed floor is that they tend to spread us out. That means I'm generally working 2 days in a row all the time. A Tuesday/Wednesday followed by a Saturday/Sunday, then a Thursday/Friday followed by a Wednesday/Tuesday.

I'm having more schedule issues again. I swear, centralized staffing is the devil. They've got me scheduled for 4 days during one week (I'm a 36 hour employee so that's one too many), & of course it's the week of Ganon's birthday so my in-laws will be in town! Now the state nurses' association (ARNA) has called 2 board meetings & since our chapter president is out of town until the end of August, I need to attend both. I'm okay on the August 4th meeting, but the other is July 21 & I was already scheduled for it. T_T So I need them to drop one day during Ganon's birthday week & I've got to trade someone for the 21st...which will be hard because it's a Saturday. Poop.

So anyway the tv! I'm excited because this will mean 3 different entertainment centers. I can accomplish things in the basement (our laundry room is there) while my boys do their things on the other TVs. When I'm back in school (or now, when I'm using the PCCN review course videos), it can also be a quiet place to work on things.

I used to think it was silly when people went all oenophile over wine. "This has subtle notes of oak" or "there's a distinct blueberry on the finish!" then I had to shut my piehole because I got that way about coffee. Now I may be doubly embarrassed because I can see myself getting that way over cider. I don't have access to many different brands, but I'm trying every seasonal blend of Woodchuck I can get my hands on, & thanks to my local liquor store getting all classy on me, I'm getting all of them! I mentioned wishing for the Winter brew & behold, they got it! They've had the Spring & Summer all season, & I have every reason to think they'll have the Autumn & Pumpkin ones this fall! This year's Spring has maple & brown sugar notes on the finish. I don't care for it by itself, but it's delicious with BBQ! The Summer has a bright, clear blueberry flavor right up front. I could drink it by the gallon. Which wouldn't be advisable since hey. It's alcohol. But whatever, YUM.

WELL. Ganon is flipping out for me to play de Blob on the Wii, so I'm off.
