...the news about the college shooting just breaks my heart. i wonder why it happened. stuff like this makes me want to put the boy in a bubble and lock him in the house until his dying day. somedays it feels like there's NO safe place to be. churches are supposed to be safe but there was a shooting there a few months back. schools are supposed to be safe but it seems like there's a shooting in every level, from preschool to college. hospitals, courthouses, restaurants - no where's safe. not even one's own house. what an incredibly frightening world.
...today i stopped at hubby's church to pick up our annual report (they wouldn't mail them out). office hours were in the morning, but i got there early afternoon and the doors were locked. i don't think i'd want to go to a church where the doors are locked 75% of the time. i know they lock the church to prevent break-ins, but it's sad knowing that i couldn't go in a church whenever i felt the need.
...i wish someone could build a store where only smart people could shop. i mean, like MensaMart or something. target's probably the closest to a smart box store around. somedays white trash central just seems so dumb. not to be a snob or anything, but everytime i enter walmart, i can feel myself losing IQ points. boy do i miss woolworth's or mccrory's.
...somedays i think the prerequisite to being a librarian aide is to be young, snotty, and lazy. i had to return a dvd to the library today, and it was overdue because the library was closed during the snow storm, and every time i went to return it, the library was closed. anyways, i got to return it today, but i still got fined a buck cos it was day late. how was i supposed to know that the library was open yesterday afternoon? when i was there, it was CLOSED. and the girl who took my return acted like she didn't care - she was too busy working on the computer. DL has worse aides. i almost stopped going there becos they had this one guy who was extremely rude and assholic. when did young people get so damn snotty?
...our gas prices dipped down to $2.97, which isn't bad. so how come it jumped to $3.04 today??? did osama bin ladin fart or something and the prices jumped becos of it? is it becos of the holiday weekend? when will the gas madness end?
...hubby is working on the bedroom floor upstairs. we really have gorgeous hardwood floors. it's a shame they were covered up by a rug. what stinks worse is that the floor would have been almost perfect...except whoever finished the floors upstairs did it AROUND an object (most likely a rug from the size and shape of it.) why would someone do something like that? this house is like an 80 year old box of cracker jack - just when you think there's no more surprises left, there's always something that makes me go "why is this like that?!" but that's what i love about old homes - the surprises they hold.
i like the way the sanding smells. so sweet. it's a dirty job, but the floors will look gorgeous when hubby is done.
i can't believe how much time suckage i've spent on this computer this afternoon. that makes me want to cry.
