A Leap Second

So the world isn't perfect. No big news there. In fact, it is so imperfect that it doesn't travel as fast as it did yesterday. To compensate for the Earth's mediocracy, we have added a leap second at the end of the year. This isn't an uncommon thing; the last one was in 2005. Unlike leap years, however, they don't come at regular intervals.

Cherish your leap second, you never know when the next one will creep up on you. Where will you be for yours?

Happy Chrisssmuss everyone!

Well today was good. Mommo and Jack are still alive, we got snow but then it turned to slush (so we could have a White Xmas and still drive - yay) and I got two colanders. Normally, I consider it a good Xmas when I get one colander, but two?! That is just out of this world.

Funny Mommo Story:

Mommo: Did you talk to Susan today?
David: *puzzled look* Susan?
M: Your lady friend. What's her name?
D: Kendra.
M: *laughs*

I walk away to wash my hands at the sink.

M: *to herself* Kimberly... Kimber-
D: Kendra, Mommo.
M: K?
D: K.
M: K... e?
D: K - E - N.
M: OH! KENdra.

I just don't think she has ever heard the name Kendra before, nevermind that Mommo met Kendra in October. Granted, according to NameVoyager, the name didn't come into existance until the 40's, and didn't really take off until the mid 70's.

Blaggin' on the blog

Yiggity yo. I had eye surgery today and they gave me a Xanax. Did you know that Sarah Palin got Lasik and her glasses are just for show? Not even kidding you. I hate two things in this world. Not being able to get hold of people (*coughcalebcough*) and this weather. I have stuff to do and places to go and people to meet and I can't because of the weather. BLAH.

But... there are things in this world I love. Dew. Peggle. Ice skating. The world is at peace.
