goblinbox

gobbie

n., slang. Any kind of device (computer, PDA, cell phone, GameBoy, iPod, or television) that relentlessly sucks up all of your time and attention. If you're reading this, you're utilizing a goblinbox right now. You might even have a S.O. who wishes you weren't pasted to the goblinbox who's hollering, "Turn off that blasted goblinbox and come to bed this very instant!"

Mmm, Warm

In which I define “warm enough.”

When it’s warm enough that I not only don’t have to blow-dry my hair after my morning shower, but can drive to work with the jeep’s windows down and let the wind dry it for me? Then it’s Spring!

    oh, your site is back up and running again. yay. :-)

    I’d be afraid to keep the windows down when I drive in Iowa becuase I might swallow bugs…. :-) But I am glad it’s warm over there, too. Happy Spring!

    Your definition of spring is whacked! Spring is not a 90 degree day – ick! I’m really beginning to hate Iowa, you get one nice spring day (70′s) then straight to 90ish degrees with 1000% humidity. You shouldn’t have to run air conditioning in APRIL! (ok, end of global warming rant) ;)
