I was lying on the bed yesterday and I looked down and realized that my belly button is off center. And all this time I thought it was my pants that were made wrong! When I draw a line from my cleavage down to my belly button, the line hits the right edge of it.

Last night I dreamed I got three huge worms on Cory's laptop. I kept thinking "this is so weird, Macs don't get worms!" but there they were with cartoons all over his screen and loud noises. As I was trying to fix it, Mom showed up and told me she was going to get a "tummy tuck" because she was eating too many Snickers. She said they were going to cut into her chest and sink it a little so she looked "thinner." I told her it was a dumb idea.

I never finished talking about Saturday. I did a post about the morning but not about the afternoon. So I shall.

We looked in the newspaper and found three sales. They were kind of far apart, but we didn't mind that much. Our first one was about 12 blocks away. Then we hit Fred Meyer because we were only a few blocks away from that. And then the next one was 23 or 24 blocks away from Fred Meyer. That one was the estate sale. You never really know if you're going to end up in a nice house with nice furniture, or if you're going to end up in a house with appliances from the '50s and tables full of hoarded costume jewelry. This was one of the latter.

After we browsed around inside, we started back home - it had been sunny and hot when we'd started out but we could see some pretty dark clouds on the horizon and the wind had picked up.

We stopped at the Pita Pit so I could get a gyro for lunch (it was good) and then we decided to walk through the big park where we take Remmy so that Cory could walk barefoot - he'd worn his Birks on the walk and his feet were killing him by this time.

When we got to the park, the wind really started in on us. By the time we got home, I had dead flowers and other pieces of plant in my hair; and I also had a really big allergy attack as we were walking head on into the wind and it was pretty darn strong. I got all sorts of pollen blown into my eyes. When we got home I grabbed all the allergy meds I had and took 'em. It helped after awhile, but all day I felt like I had something stuck in my eye; though I couldn't find it.

Oh yes, and as soon as we walked in the door it started pouring. It was good timing.

After my allergy attack calmed down a bit and was bearable, we rented movies and got groceries and stopped at Goodwill to drop off some of Cory's old clothes.

And that was Saturday.

Sunday was rather boring. I woke up an hour before Cory did, and took the dog out right after he woke up. Then we walked down to Starbucks and grabbed some coffee, and came back - and then I spent all day embedding captions in our photos. I did most of them I think; but it took me almost 12 hours and I didn't stop much. My wrists kind of hurt now.

I'm ready for my laptop to get here. And I'm ready for yoga.

On Friday, traffic in Salem was really bad because of a man who was trying to jump off of the Marion Street bridge; basically the only bridge in Salem that connects Salem proper with West Salem. My aunt lives in Salem, and then my grandma and other aunt live in West Salem. When I talked to Grandma on Friday evening, she said she had to go to around a different way that should have taken about half an hour tops but it took her 3.5 hours.

Anyway, I just found out that the suicidal guy was an employee of ours. He was employed at our Willamina location.

Desk for sale!

For anyone who's in the near-ish area of Corvallis and needs a desk and has a way to get it out of my apartment, it's your lucky day!!

We have a desk that we'd like to get rid of. Pictures are here and the craigslist.org listing is here in case you want to know dimensions and stuff.

Let me know if you know anybody who might want this. It's a really good little (big) desk, very sturdy and Cory's had it for years. It's just taking up a lot of space in my teensy apartment, and now that I'm getting my laptop (it shipped today!) we'll be getting rid of the big Mac (heh) eventually and just use our laptops around the house.
