Penny pictures

I wanted to put more pictures of Penny online before I leave home, but Flickr says I've reached my limit this month, so boo on Flickr.  They no longer get an A+ in my book.

Next time I see Penny she'll be gi-huge-ic.  So here's her current size.  Sigh.  What a cute puppy..

garage sale

If you're in the Philly area, come to our garage sale! 

Saturday 7/22 8a-12n

number 1

What was the number 1 song the day you were born?
Mine: Maneater - Daryl Hall & John Oates
does this have some significance?  ;)

Countdown = 10 full days left at home.  Life is busy before then. 

The end!

the countdown is on

So, home now has a cable internet connection with a lovely wireless router, thanks to yours truly.  We went to Best Buy, and the guy there, who was very helpful, was also fairly pushy about wanting us to come have their Geek Squad or whatever they're called install all the stuff.  Which was going to cost an extra $150 or something.  So, I decided I should just do, and then if I had big problems, I could have them come THEN.
But I didn't have problems.  Voila.

I go back to Milwaukee two weeks from..today, actually.  In this time I must see many people, several shows, some doctor-type people of different varieties, finish up my job at Lenox (they love me), have a garage sale, PACK, and stop spending so much time on this shiny new mySpace account I finally gave in to getting.  And help Mom cancel AOL.  And spend as much time with Penny as possible.  I really need to add some music to my ipod, too.  I wonder what I did with the USB hook-up thingie...

I don't have much to say.  My horoscopes are not nearly as relevant this week as they were last week.  Shrug.

Hey, wouldn't it be nice if my contract for Milwaukee Rep showed up before I move there?

and TODAY...

My horoscope today is just as relevant as yesterday's was.  I enjoy it when horoscopes are relevant.  Anyway, today:

Dragging matters out won't help you any. Do everything within your power that's required so you can move on. That means facing some painful parts of your past and owning up to your personal responsibility.

.......

Mom is getting rid of AOL soon when we switch to Comcast...hence my e-mail will officially switch to rebeccarlindsey@gmail.com.  I wonder if I'll be able to keep this journal?  I'm somewhat attached to it.

.......

For serious.

my horoscope today

Once you firmly commit yourself to change, you'll take off in your new direction as if you had rockets strapped to your feet. So what are you waiting for? Get to that launch pad and start the countdown, already.

Penny

I call her Penny-pie, but her real name is Penelope.  :)

from Beth

This is pretty much exactly what Michelle Fleishman and I used to do with Eve 6 songs lyrics in 10th grade.  I kinda miss those days...  It's STILL funny.

1. Randomly pick a song from your music library.
2. Find the lyrics for the first four verses/chorus.
3. Go to Google Translation and translate the lyrics from English into German.
4. Take the new German lyrics and translate them into French.
5. Take the new French lyrics and translate them into English.
6. Post the NEW English lyrics and have people guess the original song.

Exhibit A
Hands are not affected, sudden eyes meetings rest, sudden heat jump of heart in vertiginous Whirl could this boy being to him me are however this girl.    Broad not to dream not lose sight of the fact it with which is not you recalls that attacks of the joy it could not be this boy me is this girl Ev' ry to aspire us to so frequently steal itself to the country of was-können-haben-gewesen but which does not soften the pain that we believe, if reality adjusts of return inside Blithe smile, member rankes, winsome is you, gains them golden hair an undulation easier that is the girl than it chose and I do not know skies am this girl…

Exhibit B

I do not receive many things the first become time indeed right me that now I know much all rotations of injustice, declared stumbling and fall was caught here and where I before the day were that I initially saw your exciting confronting?  I see maintaining the every day and me know that I am me am me am that happiest, if I had been cinquanteees years born before you in a house on a road, in which you lived?  Perhaps did an outside you exceed would know I about your bicycle being me?

WOULD I KNOW ABOUT YOUR BICYCLE BEING ME??!!

Sad..

Don't worry Keanu, I'll marry you.

Here's my quick home update: I'm temping at Lenox right now, making and editing lots of Excel spreadsheets for them.  Money is good.  Puppy, still nameless, comes home on Friday night.  Beth comes home Thursday night for over a week, hooray.  I miss Milwaukee LOTS...the people, my busy life there, the people, karaoke, the people, the cabaret, the beer, the people.  But I needed to be away from there for a bit too, so it's okay.  It's not nearly hot enough outside and I don't have nearly enough time to do things like go to the beach.  Just taking one day at a time... 

The Brown bash at Noelle's was this past weekend and I had a great time and I'm so glad I got to see everyone.  Hopefully next year we can do it again :)  Pictures from Noelle and Amy are here.  Maybe some day I'll put mine online, but this dial-up business drives me crazy.

It's past my bedtime.
