I Have Become Super Geek
There are two monitors on my desk at work. I feel geeky.
But maybe I'll make it onto next year's list of 10 Sexiest Geeks.

Getting out of town
Aunt J and Uncle J are (for the next 4 months) renting a house in Palm Springs, CA from a friend of theirs. My aunt called me to warn me (after I'd got my airline ticket to be here for Christmas) that the house was full of 'frou frou.' It's country decorating gone bad. And other miscellaneous stuff. It looks like she still has her stuffed animals from high school, which was maybe 40 years ago. Definitely not our kind of place.
These are things I would never own. Never even thought could exist. There's a reading group of stuffed animals in the living room. There's a lot of dolls. There's a lot of fake flowers. And here's a play wooden ironing board which is obviously an antique...I'm just thinking 'What the HECK?'
The amazing yet creepy piece is a 12 or 18 inch doll of Lady Diana. In a glass box. I'm almost scared and definitely bewildered.
You know what? This makes me love IKEA more. LOL.
Alright, I'm gonna grab another cup of coffee and sit in the sun.

Here
I'm hanging out in Palm Springs. Which is in CA, not FL. It's warm, I'm running around barefoot, we're about to go run around town. But first I need a shower.

What I Want To Know
1. What's your shoe size?
2. What's your favorite book?
3. What would you cook if I came to your house for dinner?
4. What are you wearing right now?
5. Do you drink Coke or Pepsi?
6. What is the most unusual thing about you?
7. What are you afraid of?
8. If you and I got stuck alone in an elevator dangling between the 21st and 22nd floors, how would you suggest we pass the time?
Use comments.
My answers:
1. 9.5 which wildly came down from 10 when I decided to get a little skinny when I turned 30.
2. Leather bound ESV version of the Bible. And then _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_.
3. If you came to my house for dinner I would cook either pasta or pork marinated in soy sauce. If pasta then no sides other than red wine. If pork then mashed potatoes, additional side of bourbon and Coke.
4. Jeans, brown Doc Martens, jeans, green t-shirt, dark grey Old Navy fleece jacket.
5. Diet Coke.
6. I have had a body piercing for 9 years.
7. Being alone.
8. I know that if the former Dean of Students of Covenant College and I were stuck between the 21st and 22nd floors, we would probably talk about books, or just laugh, or talk about how many cobwebs there are in my bedroom and how that's ok, or we would discuss the big questions of life, or what would happen if we tried to be like Trinity and Neo and who would have the prerequisiite knowledge to arm the bomb, or the cultural impact of Ricky Martin and dadgum why do his concert tickets cost so much, or why it would be important to go see Ricky Martin, or what we've been reading.
LOL

I knew there was an explanation somewhere
But, O! how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
