If I could smack Murphy upside the head, I would

So the last two days I've headed home with optimism and plans. Plans to actually accomplish things, and the optimism that I might. Each of those two days I was thwarted by events outside my control which drained and depressed me (internet woes, loose dog). And so I really haven't accomplished anything all week.

The big question, what crap-tastic thing is going to happen to me tonight that keeps me from doing anything? Because despite it all, I'm again optimistic and have my little list o'things to do all ready to go.

And remember, it's before 8 am and I'm at work, so I don't need any 'real' and depressing answers. Most creative gets first pick at duckies! (Picture of orphan ducks will be posted this evening baring any catastrophic event that cause me to sink into a comatose state, staring blindly at the TV set).

Orphan Ducks

Okay, let me get one thing off my chest first: what the %^#(@^%$ do you mean I can't save something to my C drive, you piece of $*#()&% operating system? How DARE you tell me I don't have permission. ... honey, fix it! O.o

Oh, and second, can you get high off the smell of fresh rubber duckies? Or is it just my allergies stopping up my ears that's making me dizzy? ~.^





(clicky for BIGGY)

So here's the deal. These are duplicate ducks. I've kept one of every kind/color I've ever bought (that adds up to 115 ducks, including the ones other people have gotten me, if you're curious). The rest of them... well, I can't keep them all. My hubby would kill me. So they need to go to good homes. Everyone can choose 3-4 ducks that they want, then once everyone has chosen, you get another 3-4, etc, until they are gone. Pecking order (no pun intended) is being determined HERE

But I'm also broke (relatively speaking) and need a new stove, so it I just mailed them off to everyone right now... well, not the smartest move on my part. Not if I want to keep cooking. So I decided on a compromise. I'll mail one or two tea-boxes full a month (that's up to 4 ducks). Again, pecking order is being determined HERE. This is the order in which you choose, and the order in which they are mailed. If you want to jump ahead in the mailing line, you can send me the stamps to mail your package (it's about $1.80 domestic, I think, but I'd be able to give you a weight and you could calculate the postage on-line). Otherwise, you can wait patiently and they will eventually get to you (I won't give them away to anyone else once you've claimed them) - Christmas at the latest.

Unless I actually get a $1,200 check from the government, then they'll all get mailed out by June.

(Oh, icecat, I've already set aside 4 hockey ducks - one in each color - for you. Also, anyone else that lives here can, of course, get their ducks at any time, if you swing by to see me at home or work or I happen to be in your neighborhood. (: )
