Tree Sex and Other Issues

This pollen crap is killing me. I didn't sleep too well last night between the sneezing and gasping for air. The pollen count wasn't too bad yesterday, but when I went to bed, I was just a mess. I won't go into details, but the blanket I had on my bed was covered in pollen and I paid the price. (the details involve cats, pillows and fur blankets... TMI)

Not the Party Animal I used to be
I went to a going away party on Friday and really had a good time. Got to see/meet lots of people, talk a lot and just generally had a good time. Amazingly enough, no soft porn at this outing, which is kinda nice. I got home (Thanks Kat and Mike) around 3:30AM. Not so bad except I had gotten up that morning at 6AM. These 21 Hour Days are killers. It took me at least 2 days to get over it. Remember the day when you could do a 24-hour day and get up and do it AGAIN the next day? That's one reason I missed the Sunday Runners, I just couldn't get out of bed.

Still Not Done
I still haven't finished my taxes. I use Turbo Tax and I didn't even have a job last year so it's not tough, it's just boring. I thought my 'filing system' (a shopping bag with handles marked '2005') was good enough, but I still can't seem to find some forms I need. Bummer. On the positive side, my bathroom is clean, I have new vacuum cleaner bags and my garden is looking better. I am the Queen of Procrastination.

To All My English-Major Friends
Yesterday in the AJC was an interesting article about grammar. Now that's an adjective and preposition that you don't always hear together! It was all about how schools aren't teaching grammer anymore because no one feels it's needed. They also had some grammatical questions about parts of a sentence. I only diagramed a sentence once or twice in elementary school and most definately could not do it now, but I think I know a little about grammar. Some would say I can't spell very well, but you get the idea of what I'm trying to say. I dated a guy who had issues with verb tenses and that really bugged me. The best one though is from my Dad. Uttered when trying to drive across a 4 lane street, he missed his opportunity and said 'Damn, I shudda went.'
On the page with this article was a short blurb about this website: www.engrish.com . Hysterical!

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'
