sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
get this. yesterday, i brought home a bookcase from the shelter [purchased with a donation to the organization]. i left it outside for a few and someone stole it. a bookcase! it's not an easy item to slide in your pocket when no one is looking.
then, when i was scoping around for aforementioned piece of furniture, things got a teensy bit better. between an order i had placed and one that was sent by surprise, i got presents via the mailman. nice.

sixth-best US city
can you believe it? it's our own virginia beach.
Money magazine has named Virginia Beach the sixth -best 'big city' in the country ... In ranking the nation's largest cities, the magazine looked at weather, education, crime, air quality, purchasing power and such things as the number of restaurants, golf courses, museums and movie theaters. Described in the magazine's August issue as 'an up-and-coming military town,' Virginia Beach scored best in the safety category, which looked at violent crime, and education, based on student test scores, said Tara Kalwarski, the magazine's special projects editor.54.65% of pilot readers did not agree with the rankings in their web poll. i wonder if they thought it should have a higher or lower ranking.

a few things
Because men like John Goodman and Bernie Mac get to have careers on television but sitcom-moms-of-three still have size-two waists ... Because the doctor who said that there were 30,000 "obesity-related" deaths each year received over $2 million in research funding from Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers ... Because I am tired of being ignored, invisible, de-sexualized and told that I have such a pretty face.
Some of the ovum-centric bon mots will include "CBS Mondays: Shelling Out Laughs", "CSI: Crack the Case on CBS."
rest assured. you can get a triple for only 74 grams of fat.

the witch of pungo no longer a witch
gov. kaine pardoned grace sherwood, who had been convicted of witchcraft, 300 years ago.
With 300 years of hindsight, we all certainly can agree that trial by water is an injustice," Oberndorf read from the governor's faxed letter. "We also can celebrate the fact that a woman's equality is constitutionally protected today, and women have the freedom to pursue their hopes and dreams ... I am pleased to officially restore the good name of Grace Sherwood.

four quizzes from tickle:
Jessica, you remembered 59% of the information in the Memory Test.
Jessica, your strongest sense is Humor: Always good for a laugh — that's most likely how friends describe you. With your quick wit, you can easily bring a welcome smile to someone's face or lighten a situation with some much-needed comic relief. You've got an ability to laugh at yourself and help others not take things too seriously.
Your instincts tell you that nothing does a body good quite like a hearty laugh. That's why having fun is your number one priority when it comes to parties, vacations, and even the daily grind. Injecting a little humor into each day keeps you and everyone around you smiling. Nice job!
Jessica, you keep secrets about your Social Life : Hello, social butterfly. You're a mover and a shaker who loves to be in the limelight. From the hottest parties to the coolest restaurant openings, you enjoy being out and about at all the A-list places. But that doesn't mean you want to wind up in all the gossip rags. Why have everyone talking about your weekend?
After all, if everyone knew where to go, the hot spots wouldn't be hot anymore. That's why you like to keep your whereabouts on the down low. Why go and ruin your fun, freewheeling image by telling people that you have a boring day job and live in your parent's basement? Your secret is safe with us, hot stuff!
Jessica, you're less sinful than the average person.

another joke via email
Q: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: One. ONE!! And do you know WHY it only takes ONE? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb. They don't even know the bulb is BURNED OUT. They would sit in this house in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it OUT. And once they figured it out they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CUPBOARD for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. But if they did, by some miracle, actually find the light bulbs, TWO DAYS LATER the chair that they dragged from two rooms over to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!? AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE CRUMPLED WRAPPER THE STUPID @*!#$% LIGHT BULBS CAME IN! WHY?! BECAUSE NO ONE? IN THIS HOUSE EVER CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!? IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE 12 FEET DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE. THE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS...
I'm sorry...what?
