I like to peruse websites with strange things on them, and I came across this news article:

SALEM, N.H. — A dog trying to get a box of doughnuts is being blamed for starting a New Hampshire house fire.

Fire officials believe the black lab was home alone and trying to grab the box from atop a toaster oven, accidentally turning the oven on. That set the box on fire, and the flames spread through the kitchen and the front of the home.

The dog died, but no one else was hurt.

Aww...that's sort of sad. Would that dog have been considered smart, or dumb?

It would have been nice to sleep in this morning, but things didn't work out that way. Oh well...just lots of things on my mind that even when I got up, I still could not resolve...lol (don't you hate that).

Anyway, I snapped this lovely picture on the way out the door yesterday before work. I loved how the sky looked and all that:



It's like you can never catch the sky looking like that unless it's in the morning...when the sun is setting, it's out behind the mountains and you don't get as many cool colors in the sky (in my opinion).

Today, I have to run to target and make some halloween goodie bags for 2 random people at work. Someone made one for me, so I get to return the favor to 2 different people. If only they did something that didn't cost any money...do they not know that I'm a poor person barely making enough money for food? I guess not...but yeah...while we're at Target, I wanted to make Brian look at some of the stuff that I put on the baby registry and see if there's anything else that we might be able to add that's in the store that I didn't put on my list from doing it online. I'm not too worried about getting clothes because I guess my aunt got 2 big garbage bags full of clothes from my cousin...so I think I'll probably have a lot of clothes. I guess she says that they're not all things I would be able to use right away, but anything is still better than nothing, in my opinion.

Then, at some point today, I have to go meet the lady from my work at her house. She's giving me all sorts of baby furniture (i.e. crib, playpen, jumper, etc.) that I don't have that I could really use...lol...I love having friends/family that has had babies...less stuff for me to bust my butt on!

Other than that...it shall be boring today. Brian's leaving at like 3 to do something with his friend, so I'll be alone in the evening...alone with my thoughts. Haha...that's every night...are you kidding me.

Okay, we had our pumpking carving contest today at work...my pumpkin didn't win, but that's cool...we had a lot of cool pumpkins and that was all that counted. Everyone was a winner according to the VPO (Vice President of Operations)...so it was all cool. We had an hour to do all this, so this is what people could do in an hour...obviously, some were more creative than others

BUT, here's what everyone came up with:


The Haunted Tree Pumpkin


The Traditional Pumpkin


The Technologically Advanced Pumpkin (this was what me and my partner did...its eyes lit up and stuff)


The Pirate Pumpkin


The Jack Sparrow Pumpkin (it's hard to make out his face, but it is his face, I guess...)


The Headless Horseman Pumpkin (that's really hard to see...no one knew what it was)


The Frog Pumpkin


The Bling Pumpkin


The Cauldron Pumpkin


The Cauldron Pumpkin started falling apart later, so toward the end...the bubble that it was blowing sort of ended up looking like it had a condom hanging out of its mouth.


The Cinderella Pumpkin


The Cinderella Pumpkin had a beauty queen inside...she's doing the wave even...lol


The Hamburger Pumpkin (this one won, obviously...it was the most kick ass pumpkin there!!!)

But yeah...that was the extent of my work day other than this lady writing me an e-mail apologizing for the "incontinence" as she put it. Me, thinking that maybe incontinence had more than one meaning, looked it up on the internet. It only means this:

Unable to restrain natural discharges or evacuations of urine or feces.

Unfortunately, she typed that to me where she should have used "inconvenience." It was a laugh nonetheless.

SO...finally, SATURDAY is tomorrow!

It was wings again tonight...the ones I got were hella spicy/tangy, so I don't know if I liked em all that much. My friend and I shared some while my boyfriend inhaled all of his. I was there for the trivia...oh sweet trivia!

Anyway, we're having a pumpkin carving contest at work tomorrow. Basically, there's 11 teams of people participating (and you get paired up something someone random)...our pumpkin is gonna rock! The IT manager is my partner and he's got all these cool ideas of stuff to do with leftover computer parts and crap. I'll definitely get pictures because I can see all of our pumpkins coming out extra awesome. I mean, with as creative as everyone's gonna be, I can see some very interesting things. I do know this...our pumpkin is going to have a power switch on the outside...hehe

We've got an hour to get it all done and finished, then judging is from noon to 2. We'll see who wins after that...who knows what we'll get, but I hope that our pumpkin at least places :)

Other than, I'm so glad it's Friday!!! WOOOO

haha...I'm so glad I really don't have them! Yay!

But yeah...today wasn't very eventful. I ended up having a mad craving for freakin McDonald's again (I went yesterday for lunch and the fuckers didn't give me my damn BBQ sauce with my plastic chicken nuggets...ugh...), so I went to a different McDonald's and they were able to give me the BBQ sauce as requested...I didn't think I was being that picky for asking for BBQ sauce with my chicken nuggets.

But yeah...then I came home and sat around doing a whole lot of nothing. I made my baby registry thing online at Target this evening though while I was sitting around. I don't know what the hell I need for this baby, so I put crap on there that I thought I would want/might need. Hehe...they had this cute little harness (it's for toddlers...when they're getting to that point that they need to be independent...it's so they can have their "independence," so to speak...no holding mommy and daddy's hand...but they think they're wearing a little backpack...haha...it's so cute)...I don't need that right now, but it's on sale now...and it would be cute to have later. It's like a leash for kids...wonderful invention!

I have to still get used to picking out all this blue stuff...I was getting used to the idea of MAYBE liking the color pink (I hate pink)...but, blue is okay too. I sort of liked all the little outfits and accessories with little puppies on it and stuff. I hate how they generalize boys = puppies, girls = kitties...to be honest, I am not a cat person, but if I were having a girl, I'd have to get baby clothes with cats on them? Puppies are so much better, but they only make that stuff for boys it seems.

While we're on the topic of babies...I'm seriously thinking about naming him Aiden Gregory, but my boyfriend hasn't given me the OKAY...he should get to at least tell me what he wants so I can veto it and name it what I want anyway...lol (okay...I'm not that mean, but still...)

We'll see...have plenty of time to think about it.

the blood red sun in the morning. I seems to only be this way in the autumn, and I love it SOOOOO much. It turns the sky all kinds of shades of yellow, orange, and red and I think it matched the changing leaves so well! I wish I had a picture because it was so beautiful this morning, but...I always see this stuff without my camera, ya know. It was so bright, it made the office buildings on the Front Range look like they were lit up with white Christmas lights (the sun reflecting off the glass windows). It was pretty neat.

I can only hope that with such a beautiful morning, the day can only get better :) SO, I will eat my peachy peach oatmeal and start my day.

Here's my interesting fact(s) for the day:

Did you know that the Sahara Desert in Africa is as big as the whole United States! That's a lot of sand! (I don't think you'll find me visiting there any time soon)

A great big octupus 70 pound octopus can squeeze through a 2-inch hole because it has no backbone (ewww...I've seen many octupuses in person and I really think they're icky looking...they have one at the Seattle Aquarium that freaks me out...hehe)

Tonight was as an okay end to a shitty day...

My boyfriend and I went to eat wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. I wasn't all wing crazy tonight, but he was. I've never eaten there before, but GOOD LORD there was a huge selection of winged goodness. I got a fish sandwich though.

This sports bar kicks ass though...they had about 50 television sets in there or something, and they were all about the people. They had Buzztime Trivia (any bar with trivia, I AM THERE)...so I played Trivia. Missing an entire round, I still came in 2nd place out of the whole game, so it was peachy keen! I'm a trivia nut, I TELL YOU.

Anyway...it's only 9pm and I am beat...people at work told me this baby would make me tired and I was like "haha, yeah right..." and here I am feeling like I'm gonna doze off.
