No Good Metaphor

It's raining rain.

Lots of rain.

From the sky.

In water form.

Sunny.

Then rainy.

Then sunny.

Only sunny when inside.

I bring the rain by stepping outside.

Not enough umbrellas in the world.

What do you think would happen if I went to work in a big garbage bag?

Burns

I think I'm going to start keeping a list of cities in which I have been sunburned.

It will basically be a list of all of the cities I have visited.

I love sunscreen. Love it. Why does this keep happening to me?

New Career

I'm going to open a restaurant. It's going to be called "Chocolate and Toenail." Our cuisine will be all hamburgers, all the time.

LL will be the only customer, but that's really all I need.

PANERA!!!!

Panera opened (after MUCH delay) on Friday.

Today is Monday.

I've been three times.

In my defense, I have not been eating the delicious treats--only the healthy soups and salads.

I probably should cut back though...or perhaps give up my apartment and just move into Panera.

Huh

Now that I'm a 3L, apparently, I'm making the Pyramid game too hard.

Sorry.

I'll try to make the next one a bit easier. (For the record, only LL has gotten it right so far.)

I'm getting too tricky for my own good.

Climate Control

It's very muggy and hot here in the summer. But in stores and buildings, it can be quite cold because of the air conditioning. The other day at the grocery store, it was FREEZING!

As I walked around, I suddenly realized I had hit a warm place.

Weirdly, it was where the fish sat in piles of ice.

Pyramid - Round 5

It's that time again...it's a tricky one this time!

(As last time, I'll wait to post comments for a few days to give everyone a chance to guess).

Let's play Pyramid!

Open Open Open

Today is June 2. I am pretty excited about that.

Why?

On June 6, a Panera is opening in my neighborhood. Right now, the closest Panera to me is in Queens.

QUEENS.

I have been watching them work on my Panera since November of last year.  I walk over to it pretty regularly to see if it's open yet. The other day, they put up a sign that said it's opening June 6.

Come on, Panera, open, open, open!

Love Hate

Big Firm gave me a Blackberry for the summer. I have a love-hate relationship with my Blackberry.

Only without the love.

Apparently, once you use an iPhone, you're completely incapable of using a Blackberry. I consider myself to be a pretty technologically savvy woman, but sheesh, this Blackberry is driving me crazy.

Then again, it does have an awesome light on the front that blinks if I have a message or an appointment to get to or anything.

So I guess I have a little bit of love for my Blackberry. Only a little though.
