Another weekend of camping accomplished.

It wasn't quite as perfectly relaxing as last weekend. Doing anything with the Big Lug and his friends can be called many things but 'relaxing' is not one of them. We did have some adventures. Spent a day on Mackinac Island, visited Fort Michilimackinac, crossed the Bridge and ate pizza in St. Ignace. We also spent much time swimming in Lake Michigan.

I did end up doing most of the camp work like building fires and making the few meals we had and packing things up on Monday. I'll be the first to admit that I got a little annoyed, especially when everyone spontaneously decided to be oh so melodramatic on Monday morning but, hey, it's all good. It wouldn't be vacation without the Big Lug having some sort of bee in his metaphorical bonnet

It was absolutely gorgeous up there. I'll have to show you some pictures. I need to start figuring out how I'm going to afford some sort of summer home in Northern Michigan. *plots*

Came back this morning to discover that my office had been completely moved around while I was out. WTF?! That seriously grates. If you want to move my stuff around at least have to common courtesy to tell me about it! Don't just wait till I'm gone on vacation and do it then! RAGE!

Yeah, whatever. Am off to give blood today. Will then go home, turn off my brain and let tv soothe everything away.

Word Origin of the Day: Satan - Both Latin and Greek use this word with the same spelling and meaning, but it originated elsewhere, in Hebrew. In that ancient language, it was first used as a generic term for "adversary" or "enemy," derived from the verb form - spelled the same - satan, meaning "to act or plot against."

yay camping!
big "boo" to drama! Stupid people. I'm sorry!

hurray to tv and may it do it's job well.

Stupid people, the world is full of them. Bleh.

This summer has just been one drama after another. I never thought I'd be looking forward to boredom. Please, let life be boring again.

The world is a strange, strange place. =D

Am off to give blood today.

Yay. I gave at the end of June. Such a worthwhile cause I think. Hope it all goes smoothly for you.

*crosses fingers*

Here's hoping. My blood doesn't always want to flow so have already downed 48 ounces of water today and expect to drink more. All for a good cause, like you say. =D

I just love those word of the day things you do. I always feel better about lounging around on the internet for a long time if I actually learn something while doing it! Mind if I friend you?

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Certainly! Friend away! And I even promise to friend you back. =D

Word to the wise, however, I don't tend to post word origins every day. I only tend to put up the one's from the calender that I think are interesting (ie. somehow related to my fannish life). Just so you know. ;-)

Okay, thanks for the heads up. And thanks for friendin' me back, tho I'll probably comment in everyone else's journal more than I post in my own journal, if I post at all! :)

I'm the opposite. Needle goes in and blood comes out like there's no tomorrow. I think my own blood is afraid of me *LOL*

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

My blood must have separation anxiety, then, 'cause it can be down right ornery about moving through that needle. Either that or my veins just like to play hide and go seek with the nurses.

Glad you're back! I got your postcard, too. It's very cool.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it! And it's very good to be back. For LJ is home. =D

Let's do coffee tomorrow or Friday. I'll be all alone in the lonely office and no one will be monitoring me and will crave human contact.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan, madam. Shoot, we could do coffee both tomorrow and Friday. Or maybe just run away to Guadalajara, or something. I hear the natives are nice and the beaches are beautiful.
