Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.”

TIME: 6:34 PM
PLACE:  Front yard
SUBJECT:  Flowers

I did something to my lower back.
It’s been hurting since yesterday morning.
I went to the chiropractor today – but it’s still killing me.
On the bright side, the daisies I planted last year are blooming nicely.

Pigeon (156/365)

Why is a pigeon like a clock?
It keeps going “Coo-Coo”
Bert’s pigeon joke

TIME: 7:33 PM
PLACE: Drive up ATM
SUBJECT: Pigeon

This guy was sitting on the ledge in the drive-up ATM lane.
After I completed my transaction, I looked back and he was still there.
No one was behind me, so I reversed, rolled down my window and took his picture.
He didn’t seem very concerned.
I drove away and left him standing there.

This post-it note has been on this box almost as long as we have been in the new building.
We moved in here in October of 2012.
I don’t think a lot of co-workers use Stevia.

Looking a Little Punchy (153/365)

20150602 IMG_240220150602 IMG_2401
TIME:  6:47 PM
PLACE:  Home
SUBJECT:  DramaQueen’s car

I get the phone call at work right as I am leaving for the day.
Claudia and her friend had gone to the St. Louis Zoo today.  On the way home, in rush hour traffic, she rear-ended the car in front of her.
Luckily, no one was hurt.
I met them and exchanged info with the other driver.
I’m just going to pay to fix their car out-of-pocket.
The Miata is probably done.

“I tell you to think black thoughts and you come up with that?!" the lieutenant had screamed. "Is a guinea pig bad? Do you consider a guinea pig the representation of all that is evil?"

Maybe... if it's an evil guinea pig.”
Frank Beddor, The Looking Glass Wars

TIME:  6:02 PM
PLACE:  Living room
SUBJECT: Guinea Pig

This is Albert.
He’s a classroom pet – only, not at our school, at another school in the district.
My husband is friends with the teacher.
She (the teacher) is the daughter of an ex-girlfriend
…Don’t ask.
He agreed to let Stella rodent-sit him for the summer.
Because we don’t have enough animal in the house.
