& that's the way life goes

Some parts of southeastern Michigan saw 7 inches of snow today. U of M is on Spring Break this week. Those lucky rat bastard kids skipped out on the storm and are sunning themselves, doing shots, and drinking way too much. Those were the carefree days aye? All that’s left on campus are the lonely students that chose to stay and those spoiled brats bikes.

I’m not jealous or anything…REALLY!

Regardless of who it is or what it’s about if you have a vision of someone in your head and you run into them and it ruins what you had previously thought, is it better to know the truth or to keep the fantasy alive ?

I was calmly sitting at my desk today when I kept smelling this B.O. scent.  The phone rang and I answered it, continuing to get whiffs of this awful pukey, musty smell.  I thought it was coming from my phone (which is totally disgusting) so I went to the closet and got the cleaning wipes.  I wiped it down and got it smelling all fresh and lovely.  A few moments later I was haunted by the stench again.

My eyes roamed the desk, what could be producing this putrid smell?  And then my eyes zeroed in on a likely target.  Could it be the tea bag that was given to me out of goodwill?  I picked it up, held it to my nose and inhaled.  Bile rose in my throat and I inwardly gagged.  Yes! It was the teabag.  I put it in my drawer thinking I’d steep it later, because really it can’t taste as bad as it smells, right?  But the stench, oh the stench, is seeping out.  Or is it just stuck in my nose?  -A- thinks that I should flush it down the toilet because “that is where ass belongs”.  But I’m interested to find out if it tastes bad and makes my breath smell like farts or it may actually be good (calming or a laxative?).  The person who gave it to me put another ass tea bag in his steaming mug of water and he hasn’t gagged.  When he opens his mouth will rotten eggs fill the air?  I guess I will find out if he breathes on me later.

Yay! I made it to day 4, I mean 5, of the photo challenge. Unfortunately, I’m tired which means I will let you wonder what these pics are from. I’ll write about them later )

Happy Monday!

Yesterday afternoon I was led on a tour of the basement of our building. Down there is the student computer lab. It really wasn’t exciting at all except now I know the location the facilities manager is talking about when he says the lab is flooded. It happens a lot. Which can’t be good because, um duh, it’s a lab for computers. What intrigued me were the murals of people hanging upside down. What are they doing? Are they peeking in on you from the floor above? A whole family of “peeping Tom’s”? Silent and stationary group of security guards? If you ask me I think it may border on creepy. You’ve got Grandma and Grandpa looking sideways at each other like they are up to something sneaky, and then the kids glancing at their grandparents like their freakin crazy. Grandma’s even got the blue/silver (well really purple) hair and old-time winged glasses. Or maybe Grandpa thinks Grandma is crazy too and that’s why none of them are standing next to her. Or maybe she smells musty. And the guy above the water fountain, he’s making sure you aren’t backwashing on the thingamajig that the water comes out of.

Ok enough speculation…What do you think?

Really? Seriously?

The Smart Cycle Physical Learning Arcade. For ages 3-6 years old. So technically this isn’t my picture I got it from the website above. But I did see it at Walmart today and if I wasn’t so busy trying to keep C♥ in his right mind (going to Walmart is like having a panic attack for him) I would have taken the picture myself. I actually did have my camera on me.

Are kids so fat and lazy today that they can’t just go outside and ride a bike? That riding down the street getting fresh air isn’t as exciting as playing a video game? Even if it may be educational? I think more parents should get their kids to play outside instead of letting them expand on the couch.

On another note: The first thing we saw walking into Walmart was a very pregnant lady wearing a middrif exposing tiny t-shirt in the dead of winter. Ew! (if I didn’t feel like the awful paparazzi I would have tried to take a pic) And I’m not saying this because she was prego, I don’t like seeing overweight guys baring their stomachs either. Cover up!
