And so am I.
Last week was strangely warm. This week, however, is making up for it -- we're supposed to get snow every day. The Brick and I, along with dogs Freya and Ruby, spent most of the week in Denver: three appraisal sessions, a meet-and-greet for ASA (my appraisal group)...and a doctor's appointment. We spent the evenings with Daughter #1 and Adopted Son #1, which was wonderful.
Slowly making progress on these reports. Watching snow fall outside is a good tonic for work.
Meanwhile:
Our buddy the groundhog has seen his shadow -- get ready for more winter. (Are you surprised?)
The story of 'Scamanda,' a woman who faked cancer for more than seven years -- and raked in the money while doing it. (She's busy faking symptoms in jail now.)
Cowboy spaghetti -- oh my, this sounds good.
Another fun study that, thanks to shutting it down, you and I won't have to pay for -- more than a MILLION DOLLARS asking Superbowl watchers about their drinking and sex habits. (sigh -- who approves this stuff, in the first place?!?)
A sad -- and happy -- Auschwitz story.
A $5 thrift shop plate turns out to be 18th century Chinese -- and worth a whole lot more at auction.
We hear about Saturday Night Live's best musical performances -- now here's SNL's worst.
Did another photographer actually take the 'Napalm Girl' photo? (Probably not, based on this evidence.)
Dog versus Dog.
How to save, when you're living from paycheck to paycheck. (Some great tips from One Hundred Dollars A Month)
Also: some really great painting tips.
Susan Smith is NOT behaving herself...guess the parole denial was justified!
Guess it's dangerous to be a mermaid nowadays. At least in China.
A very interesting (and thoughtful) look at the trans controversy -- particularly as it applies to 'female' sports. (Am I the only person who wonders why you don't have this issue coming up forfemale-transitioning-to-male athletes, trying to compete on 'male' teams?? Doesn't that seem just a tad bit odd?)
Ah well. Have a great week.
