Friday Fun-Day

Heyo! I've been remiss in blogging lately - been busy doing stuff. Grocery shopping, cleaning, house projects (you know, the fun stuff like cleaning the grease off the inside of the stove and reorganizing our laundry room so that you can actually SEE the floor?), had lunch out with my guy a couple times this week and then? Oh, boy. I discovered a store here in Anchorage called Habitat Housewares. It's FILLED to the brim with kitchen-y and home-y gadgets and beautiful things. BIIIG mistake. BIG.

Good news is that they were having a sidewalk sale - 40-50% off sale! So I gots me a BUNCH of goodies for Christmas gifts! I'm almost done Christmas shopping and it's only September! Yaay for that!

So, all of my relatives can thank my husband for taking me out to lunch at Ling and Louie's (fantastic Asian fusion restaurant), as their future Christmas goodies came from the store, Habitat, across the way. Y'all are getting some GOOD goodies!

In other world news, I'm kinda sad that Scotland didn't vote for independence from the UK, but I understand that there were a lot of factors that made it a scary...Certainly was an interesting discussion.

And what is UP with the Aurora Borealis showing up in New England? WTF? Here I move all the way across the Godd**M continent where the Northern Lights are SPOSTA be and then they go and show up over in frigging Massachusetts. For PETE's SAKE! Here's a picture from the Mount Washington Observatory:

Utterly spectacular.

By they by, it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. In case you were wondering. Click here for instructions...

Non-sequiter warning!

I'm gonna work on my other post this morning - pictures of the Graduation and Air Force Military Ball at Columbus Air Force Base. Hope to get that up later on as Kel and I are going to head to Seward tomorrow to spend the night! Fun stuff!

For now, I'll leave you with a hilarious joke from my awesome pal, Hank: 

I  have been in many places, but I've never been in  Cahoots.   
Apparently, you can't go alone.  You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also  never been in Cognito.  I hear no one  
Recognizes you there.

I have, however, been  in Sane.   They don't have an airport; you  have to be driven there.  I have made several trips  there, thanks to my children, friends, family and  work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you  have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity  anymore.

I have also been in Doubt.    That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there  too often.

I've been in Flexible, but only when  it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes  I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting  older.

One of my favourite places to be is in  Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps  up the old heart!  At my age I need all the stimuli  I can get!

I may have been in Continent, and I  don't remember what country I was in.   It's  an age thing.   They tell me it is very wet  and damp  there.
