And of all this I might have been mistress...

I totally just found Mr. Darcy in a book I'm working on!Sure, he has a different name in this book. But I imagine that's just to keep all his adoring fans at bay.

Also, Tanna says that he could be Wickham. I think I can tell the difference between Darcy and Wickham, Tanna!

P.S.! This was owned by the same guy! Note the name!!!

I rarely have excuses to toot my own horn, so here we go!

I just want to briefly point out my awesomeness. I'm working on a cross stitch project, and I'm getting close to the end. It's down to the detail-work now. (Which is nothing to sneer at; I shall be doing several things I've never done before. Hopefully I won't ruin what I've done so far, 'cuz it's looking pretty good, if I do say so myself.) The finishing of this project will definitely be blogged, 'cuz I'm going to be all kinds of proud of myself.

But that's for later. My current awesomeness has to do with the fact that I threaded 8 strands of blending filament (it's shiny thread, and it's a beast to work with) onto my needle at once, and in one try! Really, I am in awe of my own mad skillz. And in case anyone doubts this prodigious feat, there was a witness. So yes: I rock.

I work with awesome people.

I sent an email to our Hawaii site this morning, telling them I had loaded the books they sent. I was supposed to attach a list of the specific books, but I forgot. So I sent them another one, asking if they'd wanted a file to go with the email, and attached it. I just got this response back:

"I thought you were helping me to develop a greater gift of receiving more detailed inspiration."

I love my coworkers. :D

I find this highly entertaining. Yes, because I'm a nerd.

According to dictionary.com:

• "PS" means "phrase structure."
  
• "ps" stands for "picoseconds."
  
• "Ps." is an abbreviation for "Psalms."
• "ps." can be either "pieces" or "pseudonym."
• If you want to abbreviate "postscript," your only options are "P.S." and "p.s."
  
• (In case you're wondering what you might possibly be mistaken for, even though you're right, "P.S." can also stand for "passenger steamer," "permanent secretary," "Privy Seal," "prompt side" (theater) and "public school."

I'm just sayin', is all.

Aren't abbreviations fun? I love them.

Sometimes, it's your FEARS that come true.

I was getting into the elevator down in the lobby this morning, and the heel of my shoe got stuck in the gap between the elevator and the floor! I don't know any woman that wears heels who hasn't worried about just this thing. But it was really stuck! The guy getting in behind me almost ran me over, but he stopped himself and waited while I yanked my shoe back out. It took a couple of tries, too. Tianna and I laughed all the way to our cube.

Tianna's Thoughts: Taken from Jessica's Head

So last night, I was wheeling a cart of books out to the car so we could take them back up to SLC. This one was in the top bin:Say what? I thought it was odd. Tianna pointed out that since we were taking it back, it must have already been processed and posted online. So I checked it out, and, sure enough, it's clippings from Georgia newspapers about people in/from Texas. So bizarre.

I am so smatr!

I just burned myself. How? By pouring boiling water on the palm of my hand. Was it an accident? Nope. I was putting a noodle on my hand so I could pop it in my mouth and see if the pasta's done. But I didn't want to grab it in my fingers; that'd be hot! So I poured it into the palm of my hand, out of the large metal spoon I was using to stir. Of course, there was a fair amount of boiling water on the spoon, too. This is why you should always use wooden spoons!
