Lauri-ism of the day

NINUSES:
The elusive mix of the nose + sinuses.
i.e. "My Ninuses sure have been giving me a Ninus-pressure headache today!"

shockingly sad

I found the most shockingly sad site I have seen in a long time.
My heart goes out to those kids dealing with this everyday.

trivia for the rest of us.

After getting my monthly e-mail from Duluth trading, I notice a small link at the end of their mailing asking me to take a trivia challenge!


Of course, I have to see what sort of trivia an outdoor, garden supply, eclectic trading company had come up with, So I clicked the link. Wow. Here I thought I knew a few things. I encourage you to try! I encourage you to see their interesting line up of unusual (for today) toys. Great t-shirts too.

L-Shaped Desk!

My new 'l-shaped' desk!

Morning mist

The sun crested the hill by my drive this morning, burning off the mist. I hope my friends passed the night in safety as the storms swept through.

Tuesdays are Boring.

I've decided that Tuesdays are perhaps the most boring days of the work week.
They are the anti-climax to Monday. They are not as fun as Wednesday- *Humpday*. They certainly don't compare to the rush of Thursday just before the end of the workweek. Of course Friday is the end of the work week. So, Tuesday's are boring.
The most exciting thing thus far for Tuesday is the discovery of an ancient fortune cookie fortune stating:

Your are primed to come up with a creative solution.

also:
Learn Chinese: Girlfriend = neu pun yau
Lucky Numbers: 4,29,35,27,48,17

Great. Just another Tuesday.

Green Month for Wal-Mart?

My friend John's recent post regarding Wal-Mart's attempt at going green also included a brief about rubber mulch... Interesting reading.

My follow up is in regards to the mold and fungus associated with rubber mulch and my own experiences with it.

I want to add that I think it's great that Wal-Mart is at least trying to do it's part by adding 'green' products to it's inventory. If you think about it, a large percentage of American's shop at Wal-Mart, so now, a larger percentage of American's will be buying more 'Green' products.
