My syadmin gave me this pacifier for her. :-D


And my father is a horrible influence-video games already! Well, video game button pushing...

Oh, spring...

Livejournal keeps going down. I'm guessing they are in some sort of political war. Perhaps this is what I get for continuing to use a product based in Russia. They have 20 million Russian users. I suppose someone must have annoyed someone else...

Yesterday was crazy. It was almost 90 Saturday, then almost as warm only CRAZY WINDY yesterday. Winds of 60 mph in Albuquerque, 70 in Socorro. For those of the uninitiated, that is ALMOST fast enough to be hurricane-worthy (hurricane level 1 starts at 74 mph). Today it is cold again and relatively calm. The power is out in Edgewood because it was crazy windy. Some idiots keep setting fires in the foothills. Drought+fire do not mix people, especially with crazy winds. Choppers dropped all sorts of water everywhere Saturday just to make sure that there weren't crazy fires in the crazy winds.

I've found people who LOVE LOVE LOVE making paper snowflakes who are often at my house. This is great because of my plans for snowflake curtains of various colors in the atrium. RAINBOWS EVERYWHERE. It took me MONTHS to make a green one. MONTHS. I still had 5 left. I think they might make themselves... :)
