Getting Poor Anna
Oh the things I like to tape to Anna's wall (co-worker who can dish out just as much as she receives in the practical joke arena)

Sunday In My City - Chasing Balloons
Our goal last night was to repay a coworker.
She left THESE on the back of my car
So I returned them
Along the way we spotted these in the sky
So we chased down the one that landed
Afterwards we stopped at Culver's for frozen custard

You Might Be From North Dakota
Although it's on my list of places to visit, I've never been to North Dakota. BUT, my brother lives in ND and my best friend's husband is from there so I've been loaded up with all sorts of local quirks. So when an email like this comes across my computer I feel some sort of familiarity...
(Send me your local "You might be from" emails and I'll share them when my brain goes dry for blog posts)

Driving In St Louis
You know those emails that go around about "you know you're
from..."? Well here's one about driving in this precious little city -
point for point funny as hell and so true.
1. There are 75 "unofficial neighborhoods" in the City of St. Louis .
St. Louisans commonly give directions--especially for restaurants--to
strangers based on these neighborhoods, which aren't marked on any maps
that are handed out by the tourist board, the AAA or MapQuest .
2. There are 54 school districts--on the Missouri side alone--each of
which has their own school bus system with scheduled times to block
traffic.
3. There are 91 official municipalities in St. Louis County . Each
municipality has its own rules and regulations, and often their own
police departments.
4. More importantly, most have their own snow removal contracts so
it's not uncommon to drive down a road in winter and have one block
plowed, the next salted, the next piled with snow and the last
partially cleared by residents wanting to get out of their driveways.
5. Snow plowing is never a problem in the City of St. Louis . They
plow nothing, and if the forecast calls for snow, they close
everything. Except on "The Hill" (refer to #1 above) where each
homeowner goes out to the street and shovels out one car-sized
rectangle and then stands watch over it.
6. Any car parked longer than 4 hours in the city is considered a
parts store.
7. The City of Ballwin actually proposed that drivers use connecting
strip mall parking lots to get from place to place rather than drive on
Manchester road to cut the traffic on Manchester . (And for good reason.
There is a stoplight at every intersection on Manchester ).
8. Laclede Station Road , McCausland , Lindbergh , Watson , Reavis
Barracks, Fee Fee, McKnight, Airport Road , Midland , McKelvey , and Olive
mysteriously change names as you cross intersections.
9. Gravois Road, Spoede and Chouteau can only be pronounced by St.
Louis natives. (Highway 40 as is pronounced as " farty ".)
10. A St. Louisan from South County has never been to North County and
vise versa . West County just has everything delivered.
11. No native St. Louisan knows that Lindbergh runs from South County
to North County . And if you tell them, they will not believe you.
12. Lindbergh belongs to every neighborhood except Kirkwood , who had
the nerve to creatively change the name to Kirkwood Road ." (Which may
be the reason for number 11.)
13. There are 2 interchanges to exit from Highway 40 onto Clayton Road
and 2 for Big Bend . Stay alert, people!
14. If you need directions to O'Fallon , make sure to specify Illinois
or Missouri . This is also true for Troy , Maryville , St. Charles ,
Springfield and Columbia .
15. The Page Avenue extension and Airport expansion projects took over
20 years to get approved. St. Louisans lost track of how many political
figures claimed them as their own ideas.
16. St. Louisans were aghast when the federal government required them
to redo the highway signs to indicate that the federal highways went to
cities in other states instead of local municipalities.
17. Drivers are starting to cut their OWN plates rather than go
through the Missouri Department of Motor Vehicles to get new tags. You
can also purchase tags from dealers behind Quick Shops in the city. They
are cheaper, the clerks are nicer, and the service is faster.
18. Lambert Field and St. Louis International Airport really are the
same place. The East Terminal, however, is a different place.
19. Highway 270 is our daily version of the NASCAR circuit.
20. You can go all four directions on Highway 270: North and South in
West County , East and West in South County , and East and West in North
County. Confused? So are St. Louis drivers.
21. The outer belt is Highway 270 which turns into Highway 255 in
South County . The inner belt is Highway 170. Highway 370 is an
outer-outer belt. Highway 40 is the same as Interstate 64 (but only
through the middle part of St. Louis ). If you are listening to traffic
reports and they are calling it 64, the traffic jam is in Illinois . If
they are calling it 40, the traffic jam is in Missouri .
22. The morning rush hour is from 6:00 to 10:00 AM. The evening rush
hour is from 3:00 to 7:00 PM. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday
morning.
23. Never ever try to cross a bridge in St. Louis during rush hour
unless you have a sack lunch and a port-a-potty in the car.
24. "Yield" signs are for decoration only. No native St. Louisan will
ever grasp the concept. (Actually, the drivers who are supposed to yield
will not, and the drivers who are not supposed to yield will wait
politely for the ones who are supposed to yield, so it all works out.)
25. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it is probably a
factory defect, or has been on for the last 17 miles.
26. Construction on Highways 40, 64, 70, 255, 270, 44, 55 and 170 is a
way of life, and a permanent form of entertainment.
27. All blue-haired old ladies in Cadillac's driving on Olive west of
270 have the right of way.
28. If it snows or rains, stay home!!!!!!!!!!!!
29. It is called a rolling stop at any stop sign intersection. Only
native St. Louisans can do it just right.
30. In West County, 20 cars will go through a yellow light. Longest
yellow lights I have ever seen. If you slow or stop on a yellow light,
you will get rear-ended or someone will angrily sound their horn at
you.

By the way, if I walk past you and randomly say "jellybean" out of no where, it would be good idea to try to quickly close up your shirt. A jellybean is probably already in the air headed somewhere in your direction - the aim is your cleavage, but it might miss you because I suck at throwing (or catching) anything. Anna reported that she had to explain why a pink jellybean fell out of her shirt when she got home. That makes me happy!

Rain Rain Go Away
It's hard to talk about anything but weather related crap but it sure makes itself front an center these days. The past week has seen very little sunshine and the next several days are predicted to be much more of the same. Friday was the third round of tornadoes hitting the area this month, but there are people still piecing their lives together from storms that blew through on New Year's Eve. What is they say, what you were doing on New Years Eve is what you will do all year long? Gotta say St. Louis has been riddled with wave after wave of storms - snow, rain, thunder, tornado. Floods are the next threat. It's definitely crazy.

Happy April Fools Day!
If you're following me on Facebook you'll see this morning (April Fools Day) that I posted I'm due in November. So far I've only gotten one thumbs up. What will be funny is to see my family flip out over it even though they know my baby factory is CLOSED.
For those who have been reading my blog for a while you know that I have an ongoing prank war with a coworker. So when a TOILET appeared in my front yard on Tuesday I immediately blamed Anna. Sure enough, she was guilty.
Sooooooooooooooo... yesterday (she's not going to be at work today to enjoy the retribution) I set up a free email account, created a Craigslist single's ad and then configured it to come up in her email reader on her computer. She called me in a panic about all of these weird messages coming in. I put on my IT hat and got all serious investigating this problem. I opened one of the messages, clicked the link to the posting and as she read it she burst out laughing. She conceded I got her back.
Now I have to sit and wait for her response.
My other fragment for the day is to share that I spent Saturday with my future daughter-in-law viewing her wedding dress. Her sisters and my daughter were also there giving their thumbs up before she put her money down. It's a gorgeous dress and looks beautiful on her. The wedding is next April and excitement is building. Now I need to start looking for a mother's dress. I will probably go for lavender, but I have no idea what style and non-shopper me is going to have to start combing the racks. Woooo
Have a happy Friday. Hopefully no one pulls a mean prank on you.

I've got a new batch!
And lest anyone thinks Anna has been quietly taking my crap, two days ago a TOILET appeared in my front yard. Tomorrow is April 1. I would be happy to take suggestions for creative ways to get revenge (and the toilet does not necessarily have to be involved).

Time to unwind the week's events and all of the little stuff that may not be enough to make a full post...
*Fruitcake was baked on Sunday. OMG the house smelled divine! The batch makes multiple cakes (the better to share, you know) so I poured one cake before I added the nuts. That was for ME, the nut hater. Then I packed the pecans into the rest of the batter. The Husband was very happy with the results. He's also not a fan of soaking the cake in more alcohol so it's perfect that we have separate cakes. I decided that my cake would be even better if served with ice cream so last night I finally had ice cream in the house. I was right. It was perfect.
*The weather people have been talking for several days about some swirling mass that looks vaguely like a hurricane off the coast of Washington. They've been using ominous tones when referring to the impending storm headed our way this weekend. WEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL.... that just scares the dogshit out of St. Louisans. Salt is flying off the shelves and grocery stores are packed as people stock up like they will be locked in for the next month. Already the predictions are showing the storm missing us for the most part. The ugly part is headed for Minnesota. Yeah, Minnesota, the state where the residents have already prepared for big ugly blizzards and don't need to flock to the store en masse everytime a snowflake is predicted.
*I can usually produce a quilt in a matter of days. It was not unrealistic to have my head filled with Post-Thanksgiving plans of finishing off three or four quilts by Christmas. That is if my sewing machine wasn't hellbent on pissing me off! I think Santa Claus is tired of hearing my endless stream of profanities and may take mercy on me. It won't get the quilts finished by Christmas unfortunately... *&^#@!!!!
*My powers as WEBMISTRESS are getting stronger. Oh my my, this is too much fun. I never ever thought this would be something I would enjoy. Not just enjoy, but I get it. I'm fiddling with HTML code with barely a clue of what I'm doing and getting some very desirable results. Now I'm not building from scratch and I don't know that I will ever be at that stage, but I'm tweaking current settings with giddy delight when it comes out exactly as I envisioned.

Friday Fragments - December 3, 2010
So what's been going on since last Friday?
Well, in case you missed it - I'm going to be a Grandma!!!!! Still every bit excited as when I found out and I'm sure I'll will be excited for the next twenty years.
Saturday we gathered with friends and played a game called "Things". I can't describe it, but I highly recommend it. I have never seen my husband laugh so hard. We all were laughing hard, but I think he was about to burst.
My daughter is starting a new job at her old employer. She spent nearly 3 months at another job when her previous employer asked her to come back for a position appropriate for her degree. Quite awesome. Let's all send happy thoughts and great success her way (she's going to be aunt!!!!).
The tree still is not up. I probably won't get around to it until next weekend. We're not hosting Christmas at my house but I have to have something to smack me in the face every day to get me in the spirit. Actually, when I string up lights and garland around my fireplace it does a pretty good job, but I really love having a tree. Unfortunately I just don't have enough space. This house is not designed for large gatherings or Christmas trees. Bastards.
It's time for the family to discuss "The Movie". It's sort have become a tradition to see a movie on New Year's Day. The only rule is that we all have to agree on the choice. Lord of the Rings was one of those movies, but little 6 yr old Ian spent most of the time curled up on my lap scared of the different monsters. Neverland bored the crap out of the boys while Amanda and I bawled our eyes out. The Chipmunks was cute, but no one was happy that we wasted our group choice on it (Ian weighed in heavily) Last year it was Sherklock Holmes and it was a big hit for the entire family. Now I have to get The Husband to quit buzzing past all of the commercials so we can see the trailers of upcoming movies. Suggestions? Our tastes are all over the board, but action or comedy is usually preferred. Romantic comedy and drama rank very low and are usually reserved for Netflix.

Well, in case you missed it - I'm going to be a Grandma!!!!! Still every bit excited as when I found out and I'm sure I'll will be excited for the next twenty years.
Saturday we gathered with friends and played a game called "Things". I can't describe it, but I highly recommend it. I have never seen my husband laugh so hard. We all were laughing hard, but I think he was about to burst.
My daughter is starting a new job at her old employer. She spent nearly 3 months at another job when her previous employer asked her to come back for a position appropriate for her degree. Quite awesome. Let's all send happy thoughts and great success her way (she's going to be aunt!!!!).
The tree still is not up. I probably won't get around to it until next weekend. We're not hosting Christmas at my house but I have to have something to smack me in the face every day to get me in the spirit.
