*crosses out one more day on calendar*

What is it with me and victims of elevator doors? Co-worker got two fingers munched yesterday in the elevators doors...and guess who found the ice packs and ibuprofen? And made sure the injury was reported, et al? But the elevator doors being involved...I'm telling you. I don't enjoy seeing this pattern develop.

*sighs* I really do want that first responder kit at my desk. Really really.

Co-worker was also CERT trained, so I had plenty of cooperation - but dayim, that looked like it HURT. Poor guy.

I need to do some work for biglosers - mostly on cooking some of my favorite stuff, and taking pictures along the way. I can give recipes, no problem - the kick of the whole thing is making it look good. Now, if the pictures only look as good as the stuff tastes...I worked in commercials, and I'm not kidding myself. That takes some skill.

It is gorgeous out - clear, sunny and windy. Also - COLD. For us. Keep in mind, if it's Los Angeles and the sun is shining, it's SUPPOSED to be 80 degrees, dammit. This 50 degrees and below just throws everyone a curve. Wool? That itches. WHAT.

Oh, and you'll hear about Wanker and Arnie having some kind of thing in Los Angeles today on the news tonight - they flew over work in helicopters today. I flipped them both off for y'all - no charge. (100 mile no-fly, no NOTHING zone around Torrance today. Boy, that probably didn't make too many people flying today happy.)

So it'll be Obama/Edwards. One can only hope. Hey, Edwards always had class - bye bye Rudy. *whew* He was the only one I was worried about. Huckabee or Paul? I'm leaving, and those who want them get what they asked for (and deserve).

Everyone else - is scary enough.

I keep wanting King Cake.

Is anyone else's work doing Biggest Loser contests? Wish they'd done one here last year. Now, it's moot. (Yep. Still at goal almost a year later.)

Tell me something - is the routine of sending birthday cards, thank you cards and such THAT important? I'm also guilty of not thanking people enough - I get busy and also plow through groups without pardoning at times, too. Tell me true. Because I suck at it, and if it matters, I'd better work on it. My last birthday, the best greetings I got were from automated bots. Something very wrong with that, all by itself.

Who wants a trip to the Zoo? Wild Animal Park? I'm putting plans together - sing out and name a preferred date. Also, if we want to do a Joshua Tree trip, it had better be before Memorial Day weekend, it gets too hot otherwise. Want? Anyone?

I seriously doubt Edwards will want to do a second go-round as VP candidate. BTDT.

But I'd like to see him kick some corporate butt as attorney general.

So it'll be Obama/Edwards.

Eh? I thought Edwards dropped out today?

I'm hoping he'll consider the Veep spot now that he's gone from the race...*crosses fingers*

Ahhhh, ok. I hadn't heard if he'd tossed his hat into either Clinton's or Obama's rings yet. But Obama/Edwards would be a ticket I'd strongly consider going for. Of all the Democratic canidates, he was the one I liked best and I'm sad to see him bow out.

We're going to the zoo next week (during the week), so that I can re-up my GLAZA membership and sign up one of G's babysitters on our account so she can take him whenever :)

I'm pretty sure I heard on CNN this morning that he definitely was not interested in the VP position.

Google isn't much help, unfortunately because 'john edwards vice president' just turns up a lot of stuff from 2004.

Best I could do is this:

The 5th comment down under Other Answers mentions it.

Zoo... weekends = good. Just not the weekend of the 16th in Feb as I have family plans.

If we're looking more at March, that's a whole other ball of wax, with final exams and whatnot.

Also - Dude, shut up. ;P

We got spring/summer weather well into DECEMBER last year. I'll take all the 50 degrees and sunny (or rainy! rain is good! makes things green and pretty instead of brown and ugly!) days I can get. Much prefer them to the 80-90 degree "can I just plz go pass out on the couch now kthx!" days.

Um. Who's wanker? Haven't had time to watch the news.

And I want King Cake too.

Wish there was a local bakery that made it. Won't order it online again, I got scammed by a company "supposedly" based out of NOLA that took the money twice, never sending the damn cake.

Wanker = 'W'... ie, George W. Bush.

I came up with that when he stole the selection in 2000.

It would have been a whole different world I think if Tony Blair had introduced himself by saying, "A pleasure to meet you President Wanker... Bush... You're name is Bush..."
