Duality in Nature? Ummm....ok

Work Mouth: A form of self-censorship practiced at work to avoid offensive or cuss words. Typically includes cuss-replacements you learned from your grandma. Potentially embarrassing if accidentally used outside of work at parties or in the company of your drunk friends.

May also be used in the company of grandparents, teachers, preachers, and others who disapprove of cussing.

Does not apply to all professions. Musicians and construction workers have no need for a work mouth.
At work:
-Did you just say fuck?
-Yeah, sorry. I forgot to use my work mouth.

At a party:
-Did you just say fiddlesticks?
-Yeah, sorry. I still have my work mouth on.

Why do we feel the need to separate ourselves? When did it become necessary to have different faces to wear depending on the situation? I wonder these things, because I can't for the life of me remember where I put my "work face"...it's been too long since I had to deal with the general public for long stretches of time and honestly? I don't really want to find it. I would rather work someplace where I can be myself..my REAL self, cuss words and all. Here's hoping such a place still exists..
 OH! And my belated Valentine's Day gift arrived last night...my darling hubs got me a Kindle! So now I can keep collecting all the books I want without filling up our entire house! HOORAY!!

Have a great day everyone, and if your soap starts back talking..rub it on your butt. xoxo

 This was outside my apartment building this morning. Looks like someones not gettin any lovins today. Fortunately it was warmish..but still...Happy freakin Valentine's day, right? I think you'd have to pull something really shady to get this kind of special treatment on this of all days. Maybe someone forgot the flowers? My plans for Valentine's day aren't nearly as entertaining..I'm going to get the car details for the hubs, make an excellent dinner..I'm thinking steak of some kind, and his gift.
Before I show you what I've got for him though, a little background. My husband is a god when it comes to cooking. Friends on Facebook have seen pictures of his masterpieces, some of you have even eaten some. He speciality though, is the grill. Here's the grill we got him for his birthday:

                                                               OOO Shiny!

And here's his gift....(I have to admit,I'm a little proud of this...)

Yes, it is a mini grill!! Full of CANDY. AWESOME!!!!!I totally win at Valentine's day!! I can't wait for him to get home so he can see it and love me even more. (Also in this picture, my wrist puppy, some camels, and the gummy worms I filled the grill with.) I was going to write something serious and poignant about love today, but since I haven't slept yet, this is what you get. Ta Da!! Hooray! Now, if I could just summon up some love in the form of a nap, we'd be in business.

Enough already!

I think that this will be the third week in a row where we get a "major" weather event. It's supposed to snow, AGAIN starting tomorrow, and I've heard that we'll get anywhere from 2-15 inches. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?? AND ice?? What is this, my birthday? I know I've bitched about the weather a lot recently, but who can blame me? At this time last year, I was in Southern California. Wearing flip flops. And shorts. Like a normal person. Now I have to bundle up so much I can barely move my arms. And trust me, apparently you never grow out of the "phew I'm finally all dressed, crap, now I have to pee" phase. So. to combat my stress over the weather, I've been turning to my second favorite past time..reading. Sure, I've read all the books I own, but who cares? I don't, mainly because I love a good story. Almost as much as I love...ummm....let's just say cake.
   I've also been playing a lot of video games. Mostly WoW, but with some others thrown in to mix it up. I can't really explain my love for that game, the best I can do is to tell you that it's like starring in a never ending movie that keeps changing.  Here's a picture of one of my characters....

 That's Nik, she's my first and favorite. As silly as it might seem, I really am proud of what we've accomplished together in the game. From leveling all the way to 85 to meeting the hubs, Nik has been with me. Like an alter ego almost. Or a secret identity. Oh, you didn't know? I met my husband in "the world", as we nerds like to call it. Nik's face was the one he saw first, as the only way to communicate is through the in game chat program. It's like the ultimate blind date. I'll post the whole story sometime, with pictures of important locations later on. Now though, I think I'm going to go work out (YUK) and maybe have some breakfast.
