Tick...Al and I just chillin' on the sofa, minding our own business, chatting, drinking tea. The work day is over and we are happy to be safe and sound at home and enjoying each other's company. Al absent-mindedly brushes at his arm, then does the Oh-my-god-there-is-a-bug-on-me!! dance, then does the OHSHITIT'SATICK!!! flip out. Lucky for him it hadn't taken a bite yet. The unfortunate tick quickly met its demise. Tick...Cruising down the highway-well, ok, down a suburban road-laughing and talking and singing along with the radio. I come up to a stop sign and realize there is a bug crawling up the inside of the windshield. Upon taking a closer look I realize it is the cousin to the tick that met an early end the previous week. I come to a complete stop and make Al snatch it up, execute it and fling it out the window. I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable. I've seen maybe 2-3 ticks in my entire life and now I've seen two in one week. Tick...I plop down ...
~E~ Remember a post or two ago where I described the crazy overtime weekend trying to get green card applications in before the deadline? And how the government backed out and declared that they wouldn't accept any of the applications? Apparently there has been so much pressure from so many directions that they backed off from THAT decision and accepted everything they had received, and will accept all applications until August 17. GREAT news for all those folks! It makes more work for me, but I'd rather be busy than not. My team also received an award at our company-wide meeting for all of our hard work. We are now SUPASTAH s!! You may kiss my ring.
While coaxing her out of her den And disturbing her state of zen Her mouth opened wide Sucked my fingers inside I never touched the lizard again Now I can’t tie my scarf or my shoes Can’t zip up my fave Levi’s Blues No fingers to garnish Nor nails for red varnish Damned lizard is no longer my muse
