Mood:  d'oh

 I think that today's entry will be a short one. For some reason I am not feeling up to "par". I got the car to start again; I am pretty excited about that. Though I don’t want to say too much, for fear I will jinx the record. It is 26 this morning, with a wind chill of 20. Yet still, no snow. Slightly irritating...

Oh! We saw the most interesting and random documentary last night. It was a documentary about the type face Helvetica. These guys decided to create a printed font and it all started off with a hand sketch of each letter. It took them a long while because they wanted every detail to be perfect. That was back in the 50’s or 60’s (I don’t recall which, it was late last night) But anyway, all the signs you see today, advertisements, government names, documents, even the 1040EZ is written in Helvetica. I am writing in it now. It was very interesting. I think some of you would enjoy watching it.

Oh, the ribs turned out very well. Flyboy was pretty excited. He is stuck doing Snack Bar duty again today and isn’t very thrilled about it. I think it also doesn’t help that he has to go shopping for the Snack Bar to replace the supplies. Apparently the Snack Bar responsibilities have changed since he was on leave, and he had to raise the “B.S” flag yesterday when the D.O. was starting to chew him out because he didn’t go to the store to restock the Snack Bar. Originally, there was a person designated from each squadron in the building to take care of making a list and restocking the supplies, but now, whoever happens to be the person on Snack Bar duty when supplies run out has to go shopping. Dumb, yes I know. He’s not too happy about it either, especially since there was no email about it and he was on leave for 2 weeks. Flyboy just messaged me and is more frustrated because they only gave him 250 bucks to restock EVERYTHING. They are out of pretty much everything, so yeah. I just hope he gets some of all that is needed instead of maxing out a few on the list. I think I should probably message him that. No offense to him, but men in general and men in the morning, don’t tend to think to their full capacity. Haha.

I don’t know if there is anything else to update on. I did the dishes… It will be the last time I do them too until he figures out that pans and bowls need to soak. It’ll be up to him to do them if he wants to cook dinner and leave the food encrusted pot overnight on the stove. I am a bit tired of that. I know, I know, it’ll be worse when/if we have kids… I know… I would like to think I can kick in the pants now, I was doing great there for a while…

Anywho, I haven’t seen my squirrel around for a while, I wonder if he froze to death, or if some little kid decided to eat him. (I only say that because when I was little my aunt would take me to the park and I always wanted to catch the squirrels so I could eat them. At least that is how my fuzzy memory remembers it.) Oh, I named him too… Sherwood Fuzzy Feet. =)

I think I am going to unload the dishwasher (I use it as a drying rack) and then maybe work on some flash cards. I have really fallen behind on those. I feel bad, but you know, he could help with them too. I mean I only have so many pictures in my head, like Word Clip Art, and sooner or later they are going to be all used and I will have to download new images. Except my max includes Word Clip Art and all that you can download, so… you can see the dilemma.

Anywho, it is time for some hot cocoa and something blue. I don’t know. The greatest phrase I heard yesterday… “In my world… everyone is a pretty pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!!” *smiles form ear to ear* It was a clip from Horton Hears a Who. It was pretty random. But yeah… I need to go; it is freezing in the “office”. Take care! Love ya!
