My dad's visiting this week. Interesting things: in the Apple store, the salesperson assumed I was his wife. At the playground today, my friend thought he was my brother.
So either I look like potential trophy wife material, or my facial care routine is so, so fired.

She needs it more than she knows
Patron: Do you have that book, "America's Cheapest Families Gets You Right On Your Money?"
Me: Ah yes (reads subtitle: your guide to living better, spending less, and cashing in on your dreams); ours is checked out. Looks like there are eight copies in our system; they're all out or on hold right now, can I place a hold for you?
Patron: How long is the waiting list?
Me: There are four holds on eight copies, so you'd only be waiting a couple of weeks.
Patron: Nah, I'm gonna head over to the bookstore and buy it.

PMR: The Jesus and Mary Chain, live
Courtney: It sucked. Completely. Total crap.
Everyone else: Holy fucking hell I got to see the J&MC and they didn't pull any bullshit about not play your favorite song. I mean, even Sidewalking. Never witnessed a roomful of people jumping up and down in total glee for a whole show. Nicely incongruous with their lyrics. And my ear is whistling, I always love a show when my ear whistles afterwards.
Not pithy, but who cares.

Ahhh, fun show with full band and visuals. Clicky title for his myspace; also go to his regular site to get more of a sense of his visuals.

yoga
So we supposedly have made an agreement that the husband will come home a little earlier one day a week, so I can get to yoga classes.
And now I'm looking through the class descriptions, and the place I was thinking of trying keeps using the words 'juicy' and 'yummy' in their text. Um, ew. Thankfully, I live close to four studios, but most of them seem to like having their advanced classes in the post-7pm timeslot. One of them has childcare, at such short time periods that there is no choice of classes and I'd probably be working during all possible timeslots anyway.
Juicy, yummy, here I go....

*facepalm*
facepalm = that moment when you realize you shouldn't have done that....
Today's version is 'I just forwarded an email to a work superior that includes my husband and I calling each other by our pet names.'
My husband emailed me to let me know that he had tried calling me twice at work today. Neither call was answered at the reference desk, but he was also told in the process that (a) I wasn't working today and (b) I must be working at the other branch. Erm, read the damn schedule, receptionist. Especially when I've said hello to you. I had no idea he had called until he emailed - which was unfortunately after closing. Receptionist never mentioned it to me. He was trying to see if it was a good day to bring the kids to visit me.
