Dino Martini got a Steelers blanket and 2 small pillows with the Steelers logo all over it for Christmas from his g/f next door. He carries it around with him and sleeps on it all the time. Puppy love.

The house is all dusted and vacuumed--thanks, honey!

A yellow cupcake with white icing dipped in sparkly sugar.

Thinking about the Kennedy Center Honors, especially Mel Brooks. ::giggling::

leaving little notes for people to make them smile

duct tape looking like toilet paper.

hearing a song on the radio and thinking of the good times and just letting the bad ones remain behind, as they should.

pens that are ball point.

Yeah, I thought that duct tape looked suspiciously like toilet paper as well. Glad you confirmed this!!!

Gay Marriage Killed the Dinosaurs

This list is for people who understand the grave risks of gay marriage. Some suggest gay marriage will merely undermine one of our most fundamental societal institutions, causing countless straight couples to get divorced because exclusion of gays was the only thing holding their marriage together.

But we know better. Gay marriage killed the dinosaurs. If we let liberal activist judges in Massachusetts and California set the course, the blood will run in rivers. Mixed with molten lava.

Top 17 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

17. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

16. Gay culture is a new fad created by the liberal media to undermine long-standing traditions. We know this is true because gay sex did not exist in ancient Greece and Rome.

15. There are plenty of straight families looking to adopt, and every unwanted child already has a loving family. This is why foster care does not exist.

14. Conservatives know best how to create strong families. That is why it is not true that Texas and Mississippi have the highest teen birthrates, and Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire have the lowest. This is a myth spread by the liberal media.

13. Marriage is a religious institution, defined by churches. This is why atheists do not marry. Christians also never get a divorce.

12. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why our society has no single parents.

11. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

10. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

9. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

8. Gay marriage should be decided by the people and their elected representatives, not the courts. The framers checked the courts, which represent mainstream public opinion, with legislatures created to protect the rights of minorities from the tyranny of the majority. Interference by courts in this matter is inappropriate, just as it has been every time the courts have tried to hold back legislatures pushing for civil rights.

7. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because "separate but equal" institutions are a good way to satisfy the demands of uppity minority groups.

5. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

4. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

3. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

2. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

Knowing that coffee is brewing,
hearing that final percolation means it's ready to pour.

Watching the kittehz...while they watch the birdies through the door.
They wanna play, but I'm not so sure the birdies will play back.

Annoying my co-worker with heavy metal, and sitting in her favorite chair after she called me a bitch this morning.

Bit · 01-11-2010, 04:32 PM

Laughing with the guy at repair dispatch this afternoon... "What seems to be the problem?" he said.

"My furnace is whining." *embarrassed laugh* "Well, after this past week, I'm kinda whining too, but I think someone had better look at the furnace."

"What do you mean; what does it sound like?"

"It makes a sound like this..." *whines low in throat*

"OHHH you mean like "NOOOOOO I don't wanna work todayyyyy!!!'.... oh wait. That was me."

Then we got into it about my Harvest Gold stove that keeps overheating... "those colors from the seventies!" he said, all aghast, "...you mean it WASN'T just the drugs?!"

Sweet texts telling me I am loved and she feels blessed to have me in her life

Having my favorite jeans be her favorite jeans of mine

French roast coffee with limited-edition cinnamon vanilla creamer

Having the handle break off my travel mug as I hold it, but catching it with my other hand before it lands, while driving

Getting my way with the project meeting this morning

Fixing one new system issue and one long-standing system issue in one go this morning

My little space heater to keep my office warm
