Lightning bugs!

I LOVE lightning bugs! They come out as the sky is painted with the sunset, during the most beautiful part of the year. You relax after a hard day, enjoy a cold drink as its condensation drips on your bare legs & toes, & they appear. Tiny balls of magic lit on fire, desperately searching for each other, silently illuminating the night amidst the joyous screams of neighborhood children not yet called in for the night...

Tina's Laser Pointer

8:42 AMKeila McCarty
Funny thoughts of the day: I had to grab a tube of coffee cups from the top of the cabinet, and realized... how the hell did tina get that giant box of cups up there???

there were only a few tubes left, so I put them on the cabinet, and i realized ... that box is big enough for her to fit in.



8:42 AMChristopher Baker
Totally impossible!



8:42 AMKeila McCarty
tina in a box

*cue "Pop goes the weasel"



8:42 AMChristopher Baker
Hahaha



8:43 AMKeila McCarty
yeah, i'm imagining the annoyed look on her face when she stood up.

like, "are you DONE YET?"



8:43 AMChristopher Baker
She is a cat lady, i'm sure she would enjoy that.



8:43 AMKeila McCarty
but in my head, she's wearing a durndl.

LMAO



8:43 AMChristopher Baker
"If I fits, I sits"

Totally relevant.



8:44 AMKeila McCarty

8:44 AMChristopher Baker
I can stop running cats in tiny boxes images through my head.



8:45 AMKeila McCarty

8:46 AMChristopher Baker
I'm gonna put a box in her office and see what happens.



8:46 AMKeila McCarty

8:46 AMChristopher Baker
Write her name on the outside



8:46 AMKeila McCarty

8:46 AMChristopher Baker
Tape it shut

8:48 AMKeila McCarty
LOL

8:49 AMChristopher Baker

FEVERISHLY



8:49 AMKeila McCarty

I want to dangle a feather in front of her

1) why don't you have snapchat??
2) I have that stuck in my head now. OO EE, OO AH AH... TING TANG... LLAMA LLAMA PIG BANG..



10:12 AMKeila McCarty
so...

remember when they used to put babies out in the woods for a few days to see if they'd survive before they even bothered to care for them?

now think of That Kid in Dylan's class with the peanut allergy.

Yeah.



10:13 AMChristopher Baker
I don't remember that but it seems like a real thing. LOL



10:13 AMKeila McCarty
it IS a real thing.

they used to put babies out on a rock for a few days. if they didn't survive, they assumed they weren't strong enough to make it, so they didn't bother.



10:14 AMChristopher Baker
Well that's interesting.



10:15 AMKeila McCarty
it's also why you traditionally were "named" (officially) at your christening/bris. bris is usually 8 days after birth, christening is whenever they get around to it and your mom can walk again (assumedly)... so they didn't bother naming you until they knew you'd live.



10:15 AMChristopher Baker
Hahaha well I can understand that part. Very interesting...



10:17 AMKeila McCarty
after writing "bris is usually 8 days after birth", i thought, "why the hell do i know that?! is that accurate??" so i looked it up.

It is, indeed, accurate.

WHY DO I KNOW THESE THINGS?!?!



10:18 AMChristopher Baker
Great question! LOL



10:18 AMKeila McCarty
did you have dylan christened/baptized? (it's Dylan, right? i'm not screwing up the spelling??)



10:19 AMChristopher Baker
Dylan is correct, and no, none of that nonsense. lol



10:20 AMKeila McCarty
what's his middle name?

(sheer curiosity)



10:20 AMChristopher Baker
Christopher



10:21 AMKeila McCarty
is your middle name Dylan???



10:21 AMChristopher Baker
Michael. My dad's name.



10:21 AMKeila McCarty
ah.



10:21 AMChristopher Baker
I'm Christopher Michael Baker



10:21 AMKeila McCarty
CMB, DCB...



10:21 AMChristopher Baker
He's Dylan CHristopher Baker



10:21 AMKeila McCarty
Keila Ann Marie McCarty

Keila Ann Marie McCarty Webb



10:22 AMChristopher Baker
Thought i'd keep the whole name thing going.



10:22 AMKeila McCarty
lol



10:22 AMChristopher Baker
LOL



10:23 AMKeila McCarty
I was almost...
Keila Ann Marie McCarty Webb Oleszko Schultz



10:23 AMChristopher Baker
That's a mouth-full.



10:23 AMKeila McCarty
whenever i'm bummed about being single and not getting laid, i think of one thing and I'm healed:

I COULD STILL BE WITH MY EX.

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM



10:24 AMChristopher Baker
Hahahah it's so true. I know exactly how that feels.



10:24 AMKeila McCarty
i found out my ex husband got divorced from his second wife.

and I laughed.

he's amazing - he can't seem to get the women he's married to pregnant... but he can certainly get the other girls he's sleeping with WHILE married pregnant... he's up to 4 or 5 now...

PRICELESS



10:26 AMChristopher Baker
Now that's talent!

or just throwing your 'stuff' around like that, takes courage. lol



10:28 AMKeila McCarty
you act like it's a THOUGHT for him.

this is the same guy who asked me, "which goes on first, shampoo or conditioner?"



10:29 AMChristopher Baker
Hahahaha

You're right, some just don't think. I can't NOT think.



10:31 AMKeila McCarty
it's a little more old-school around here.

in some ways, anyway...



10:35 AMKeila McCarty
the male/female interactions are about 20 years behind. in WI, it's more of the girl's responsibility to cover herself, and a JOINT DECISION to try. and she doesn't see it as a burden to make sure she's covered, but as a relief to know she IS covered. "my body, my choice" kind of thing.... It's bizarre to me that "my body, my choice" here seems to mean "I don't want to get proper care for myself, so he should just wear a condom then"



10:35 AMChristopher Baker
Haha



10:35 AMKeila McCarty
"my body, my choice" seems to mean "use my body as my choice of financial planning methods to rope a guy into paying for me".



10:35 AMChristopher Baker
Birth control, what's that?

EXACTLY



10:36 AMKeila McCarty
HOWEVER - Ohio is ahead of WI in racial interactions.



10:36 AMChristopher Baker
Not the best way to attract a mate.



10:36 AMKeila McCarty
you say that, but I'M SINGLE

LOL



10:36 AMChristopher Baker
I said attract. Once they get close enough (lol) they hook em like a fish for 18 years.



10:38 AMKeila McCarty
a lot of the african american people I know in WI are from milwaukee, and from "the hood", and speak in ebonics. they aren't very well-educated. But most of those I know here are just normal people who happen to have more melanin. there just isn't as high of a percentage of african americans in WI yet, so they're still a bit segregated.



10:42 AMChristopher Baker
We are in the suburbs. They are around here too, trust me. But yeah most people in this area don't act the way you described, mostly because us whitey's outnumber them by a large margin. lol

Actually, I know more white people that act that way than black. There are still too damn many in my opinion.



10:44 AMKeila McCarty
I don't care what color you are, I don't understand the decision to segregate yourself from the rest of the population and identify yourself as less educated, less cultured, more ignorant, and more intolerant.

just ... don't get it.



10:44 AMChristopher Baker
Because they really are ignorant and intolerant. It's how they were raised.



10:45 AMKeila McCarty
there's the argument "that's what they grew up with"... but it's a CHOICE to not open a book, open your eyes, look around, ask questions, and get experience.



10:45 AMChristopher Baker
But that's not what everyone else is doing. The cool kids. The gang bangers. LOL



10:46 AMKeila McCarty
if the excuse "that's what they grew up with" was valid, we'd all be speaking german, italian, french, spanish, chinese, etc, living in dirt-floor huts, and burning bison patties for heat.

not valid.

I guess I don't understand those who don't take the information they're given, process it for themselves, and come to their own conclusions.

but that's something that's inherent to both of our personalities.



10:52 AMChristopher Baker
Not everyone is a thinker. Thinkers are the minority. Most are sheep. Sheeple



10:55 AMKeila McCarty
ROTFL




10:56 AMChristopher Baker
LOL



4:19 PMKeila McCarty
And now, to Ollie Williams with the weather. Ollie?

IT'S GON' RAIN!!!!!

Thanks, Ollie.



4:21 PMChristopher Baker
LOL



4:22 PMKeila McCarty
goes through my head every time it's gonna rain

or when it's hot and I want a pool.... "SWIMMIN' HOLE!"



4:22 PMChristopher Baker
I think it sums it up pretty good.



4:22 PMKeila McCarty
the hurricane one.... all you see is an umbrella go by...



4:22 PMChristopher Baker
LOL



4:22 PMKeila McCarty

they need one for snow.

"MITTENS!!!!"



4:23 PMChristopher Baker
STAY INSIDE



4:23 PMKeila McCarty
"PEOPLE CAN'T DRIVE!"

oh!! oh!!

I have it!

"HOT COCOA!!"



4:24 PMChristopher Baker
LOL



4:24 PMKeila McCarty
.... "HOT COCOA AND A SNUGGIE!"



4:24 PMChristopher Baker
CHOCOLATE RAIN



4:24 PMKeila McCarty
ROTFL



4:26 PMKeila McCarty
"HOT COCOA" is if it's cold.
"SWIMMIN' HOLE" is if it's hot.
"IT'S GON' RAIN!" is raining.
"4-LETTER S WORD!" is snowing.

i don't know that we need much more than that.



4:26 PMChristopher Baker
That reall covers it pretty well



4:27 PMKeila McCarty
I'm standing by "MITTENS!" as another option

I really want to hear him yell "MITTENS".

OH!! allergies?
"TREE SPERM!"



4:29 PMChristopher Baker
YOU GON' SNEEZE



4:34 PMKeila McCarty
I now want an app that i push a button and it tells me the weather forecast in Ollie terms.



8:45 AMKeila McCarty
When i was a kid, a "snuggie" was a wedgie. You wanted to keep your underwear OUT of your @ss. Now people wear thongs that are SUPPOSED to go in there, and a snuggie is a blanket. Let me tell you something, people - IT'S JUST A BACKWARDS ROBE! Take a page from Hugh Hefner's book - wear a robe, not a snuggie, and you'll get less wedgies and see more thongs!



8:45 AMChristopher Baker
LOL

Words of Widsom



8:47 AMKeila McCarty
the things i think about...



8:47 AMChristopher Baker
Must have had a wedgie this morning lol



8:48 AMKeila McCarty
nope, i saw our convo from yesterday about Ollie yelling "COCOA AND A SNUGGIE" and thought of it



8:48 AMChristopher Baker
Oh ok haha



8:53 AMKeila McCarty
totally annoying thing: my dr said he won't give me any more ambien cuz "Ambien can cause sleep disturbance, this will be discussed at your next visit. The quantity was decreased to 5 tablets to be used discretely."

seriously?? I was just there last week. he didn't say ANYTHING about this. my next appt isn't for 3 months.

here's 5 pills to get you through 3 months.

ass.



8:54 AMChristopher Baker
Hahahaha. well that sucks big time. Sleep aids rule.



8:54 AMKeila McCarty
i know. ADHD, man...



8:55 AMChristopher Baker
Yeah meds for that are great too



8:55 AMKeila McCarty
in order for us to function normally during the day, we have to pump ourselves up. which means we don't come down until like ... 3 am



8:55 AMChristopher Baker
LOL

Eh i've been off coffee for months now and I don't really drink mtn dew daily. All natural



8:56 AMKeila McCarty
I would be staring at a wall, stuck in my head.



8:56 AMChristopher Baker
didn't take much for my body to get use to being awake.



8:56 AMKeila McCarty
coming up with more snuggie/hugh hefner/thong comparisons

ADHD



8:57 AMChristopher Baker
Yeah i'd say so haha that's a problem.

Get some ritalin, you'd get SO MUCH done.

I'm thinking about asking my doctor for some



8:58 AMKeila McCarty
i'm on adderall.



8:58 AMChristopher Baker
Yeah that's what I meant. idk why I was thinking ritalin

damn south park!

Yeah I need that. script please



9:00 AMKeila McCarty
i love how she described it, though. "ambien can cause sleep disturbance." um.. yeah, that's why you PRESCRIBED it.

durrr



9:01 AMChristopher Baker
LOL i'm taking it because I can't sleep. How does this make sense



9:02 AMKeila McCarty
i think they're saying "once you use it to fall asleep, you won't be able to fall asleep without it."



9:03 AMChristopher Baker
KEEP THE PILLS COMING, BITCH



9:03 AMKeila McCarty
yet again... SO GIVE ME MOER

LOL

yep



3:26 PMKeila McCarty
argh.



8:57 AMKeila McCarty
i enjoyed crashing your meeting


i learned my lesson from crystal - start all IMs with something PG



8:59 AMChristopher Baker
LOL yeah good idea. My pc is typically on the projector if i'm in a meeting haha



9:02 AMKeila McCarty
I know. hence why I just said "argh".

i was going to say something about the fact that I couldn't find my nuts.

(I had a bag of almonds for a snack, but couldn't find them in my cabinet...)

thought you'd enjoy that.



9:05 AMChristopher Baker
LOL
