An Unexpected Gift

i got a message that i thought was probably a mistake on the phone at home. call a flower shop in town... so i thought i'd call whenever i got around to it today.
this morning keith discovered that there was a potted plant arrangement at the front door with the note, " Thank you so much for allowing Keith to come out to Ohio and help me. I know that this is a sacrifice for the family. I really appreciate it. Sinccerely --2 levels up boss dude--"

kinda nice. the plants are packed in there and the pot is super nice




oh ya and notice our super nice faucet in the background which is actually the part that is in focus. the faucet is really nice and deserves a good ooo and ahhh too =).

May I see your ID please?

last week keith went grocery shopping with me and so we got a bag of animal crackers from stauffer's that has 4 colors. it is kinda fun to eat a bright blue animal. stauffer's makes another tasty product called whales (they are as tasty as goldfish but at half the price). although the colors are identifiable on the animal crackers i have been wondering what exactly some of the animals were so i went to their web site and found out. (it appears to be a very common question =). stauffer's animal identifier

Anchorman

i watched anchorman tonight. it was funny because it didn't try to be realistic. i was curious if anything portrayed was even remotely real and found this excellent story on it at poynter online.

Over the Mountain

Here's a fun little game that will waste about 3 minutes of your time =).

alcohol & fire

a while ago k2h told me a story about how at work an alcohol soaked bench top was set on fire when someone used a heat gun. now here's a story about setting a patient on fire. it seems that simple fire prevention is actually pretty difficult.

Flowers & Snow

the weather decided to snow, again today, just before sunset. i went outside and snapped a few pictures of some of the flowers in our yard.

snow

yup that's right snow. it is currently snowing outside my window (and presumably in the rest of the city, but one never knows for sure). should be good for moisture. i don't think our trees had decided to bloom yet so i think they are safe, although they may have just been gearing up to start in which case that could be bad...

update: it quit and the sun is out. not a whole lot of moisture was dropped, more like a light rain than a snow.

Personality

i went over to tickle.com and took a personality test and confirmed that as with previous takings of the test, i am an ISTJ. introverted, sensing, thinking, judging. the best description i found was here.
