Jealous! I have an hour commute and have to get dressed in the dark sometimes so I end up looking like a fool.

My old job was about 20 minutes away, but I had to leave 50 minutes before I had to be at work in order to avoid traffic. Most of those days I got dressed in the dark and mostly still asleep, but it was a casual office so if I showed up in a Strawberry Shortcake t-shirt and the same jeans I’d been wearing all week, no one batted an eye. But when I decided I didn’t want to be in the toxic environment that office was, I purposely looked for something closer to my house. I highly recommend it, if it’s an option. Also, my poor outfit choice this morning was only poor because it was supposed to be cold today but the sun decided to be out and it was beating in through the lobby windows all morning and I was uncomfortably warm in thick sweater and knee socks under my boots. No one even noticed I changed (I had on the same colors, gray on top, black on bottom) except my friend who I asked “Is it bad if I go home and change on my lunch break?” She said no, but then made fun of me a little bit for doing it.

I love a good hearting wakeupyourwindows. ;)

You may be familiar with unicorns, but do you know about the illusive UniLlama? ...Or is it a Unialpaca?

wakeupyourwindows said: OMG! Scary! I’m sorry, Kelly!

Seriously terrifying. He’s fine now. He usually gets 2 different chemo drugs and they decided to skip the first one this week and just give him the second. Next week he has to take Bendryl, Zantac and Prednisone 12 hours, 6 hours and 1 hour before his treatment and hopefully that will prevent another bad reaction. I was going to start dropping him off and just picking him up after his treatments but I think I’ll be staying from now on…lol.

wakeupyourwindows replied to your post: Ten things you don't know about me:

I’ve had to do the poor person popcorn-stringing. It is REALLY not fun. Also, I had my lip pierced at 15. Go us rebels.

The popcorn thing is the WORST! They kept crumbling off the thread and my brother kept eating them. He was pretty little at the time so I can't really blame him but still. I really don't understand why we had to do that either. We were living above my grandparents in their spare apartment type thing. We should have had more than we did. I don't know if it was because my mom was too proud to take it or my grandparents weren't willing to help. Either one is possible, really. All three of us had to sleep in one bed and my brother ended up throwing up on my favorite teddy bear at one point. The sight of my bear hanging from his ears above the bathtub really bothered me for some reason.

The nasty carpet and decent flooring underneath. Then sanded, and now polyurethane'd. Looks so much better, and while permission to remove the carpet wasn't sought out, the carpet hadn't been changed in years... and when you move in following 6 college guys who partied A LOT... you'd expect it to be. Either way, it looks so much better, and couldn't have been done without Gradmom, Wakeupyourwindows and her hubby, working hard to get it done. Huge, HUGE thank you.

wakeupyourwindows replied to your photo: Homemade tiki torches!

I want instructions!

Okay! Basically what you need: a wine bottle (or any glass bottle with a similar sized opening), a 1/2" by 3/8" copper coupling, a 1/2" cap (to cover the wick to protect from weather, optional), teflon/plumbing tape, tiki wicks, tiki fuel, optional glass stones/shells, etc to put in bottle for decoration.

Take your coupling and wrap the teflon tape around the 1/2" side so it will fit snugly in the opening of the bottle. You want to be able to remove this to add fuel - should fit like a stopper. Add decorative rocks and fuel to bottle, thread wick through coupling and put the coupling on the bottle. Wait a few minutes for the wick to soak up some fuel and light! Tada! Caps are optional to cover the wick to protect from rain. Super easy. I unfortunately went to Hardware Hank to buy supplies so I spent like $13 on just the wicks and copper pieces (bottles and tape were provided at Dani's) but you can do it cheaper. I've also seen tutorials where you can buy a bigger coupling that will just sit on top of the neck of the bottle so you don't need the tape at all. Either way, they are pretty cool!!! If you want pictures with these instructions, this website is good: http://www.gerardotandco.com/blog/recycled-bottle-torch/ - basically the same as we did except we didn't make the tiki holder.

I finally found the one unicorn wakeupyourwindows can't be afraid of. 

Especially since she lives in NE!

[unkamatt]

Well... closer to the idea.

[unkamatt]

Dee doesn't understand dog beds.

[unkamatt]

Doesn't matter WHICH greyhound is at my house... all greyhounds in UnkaMatt vicinity drink whisky.

Had Dee over for a week a little while ago... prepare for Dee spam of the pics I sent to Wakeupyourwindows.

Rule 1: Always post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person has asked you and write new ones

Rule 3: Tag 11 new people

Rule 4 : Let them know you tagged them

————————————————

1. Favorite Polivia moment?

I just love them all...but I think the very first time they meet in the Pilot is one of my favorites, just the way Peter looks at Olivia is just beautiful.

2. Favorite Walter experiment?

I just really like when Walter gives people (including himself) LSD and puts them in the tank...

3. Favorite bad guy\girl? 

David Robert Jones, hands down. Windmarck is a close second.

4. Favorite Nina moment?

I didn't really care for Nina until season 4 when she was all of a sudden all good and bff/psuedo mommy to Olivia...so sometime until then. She just gave me bad vibes before then because you couldn't really tell what was up her sleeve...

5. Lincoln or Altlincoln?

BOTH but I just really love Lincoln in his glasses...seriously favorite.

6. Redverse or Blueverse?

I love Redverse because that's where Lincoln came from first and I really love redhead Olivia but I also really love Blueverse...THESE ARE TOO HARD

7. Favourite Astrid name?

 Asterisk

8.Favourite Quote?

There are so many good Walter quotes, but this is the first that comes to mind: "The only thing better than a cow is a human! Unless you need milk...then you really need a cow."

9.Favourite ship (except Polivia) ?

Lincoln/Altlincoln or Pecoln

10. Favorite case of the week?

Season 1 Episode 6 with the girls who can boil people's brains with their minds...it was the first Fringe episode I ever saw and has a special place in my heart. Also happens to be the episode where we meet Mr. Papaya!

11. If you were given Cortexiphan what power would it give you?

The power to talk to animals, lol. I will say that if I could cross universes and meet Lincoln Lee that'd be pretty fantastic too...

12. Favorite food Walter eats?

Toast with sprinkles.

13. Favorite guest star?

NICK LANE...does he count?

14. Favorite season?

I'm going to go with season 4, even though it's frequently heartbreaking we get to see two Lincolns in the same room at the same time and EVERYTHING IS PERFECT

My questions:

  15: Which Cortexiphan kid do you most relate to?

16: Favorite episode?

17: Favorite September moment?

18: Favorite Altliv/Walter moment?

19: What do you think would have happened if Peter came across another version of himself?

  Sorry I'm not tagging 11 people...don't follow that many Fringies :( :(

ALL THE LOVE FOR MY FRINGIES

[unkamatt]

Wakeupyourwindows and hubby were sweet enough to bring Dee along for dinner. It definitely helped with my Greyhound needs. Only once did I see her out of the corner of my eye and think it was Jax. If you think they look alike it's because they are pretty closely related. I miss him though. I miss him something fierce.

wakeupyourwindows replied to your photo: With Scully’s passing, I cleaned out his 5 gallon...

TOOMS!!!!!!!!!

That was literally the first thing to cross my mind after Skinner. And I kind of like that better anyway, because Krycek is a villain and so is Tooms! :)
