Tiff's Random Thought of the Day

Sadly, the brilliant epiphanies I have late at night when I'm acutely sleep-deprived are not the inventive, clever, life altering ideas I thought they were after I've attained an adequate amount of slumber.

Ice Cream and Firefighters

Ice cream and firefighters - what an awesome combination! Next Wednesday, April 29th Baskin Robbins is having a 31 cent scoop night. OK, it's not free like this week's Ben & Jerry's soiree was, but BR is making a $100,000 donation to the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC)National Junior Firefighter Program. For the details, click here. Ice cream and firefighters - you just can't go wrong on this one, ladies!

Free Cone Day

Yesterday was "Free Cone Day" at Ben & Jerry's and an awesome sister from Yesler was kind enough to send an email informing me of this special day. Throwing caution and a dairy intolerance/allergy to the wind, I had me a cone. Coconut - so yummy! Even with the gastrointestinal issues later on, it was totally worth it!

Late Afternoon T

Location: Work

Listening to: Brandi Carlile's "The Story"

Mood: Generally stuffy - my office is hot and I'm congested. I know it's only barely just begun, but I can't wait for Spring to end.

Late Afternoon T

Location: Work, but getting ready to leave soon for Bellevue where I will be attending a Search and Rescue unit meeting.

Listening to: Adam Lambert's version of Tears For Fears, "Mad World." I clicked on the link from C's blog, although if you want to see it now, click here. I never had really gotten into AI much before, but this Adam dude has an amazing voice - it's not much of a competition if you go by talent alone.

Mood: A bit excited about joining SAR - it should be a good outlet for this trauma junkie. =)

There's just something almost magical about whipped cream.

Tiff's Tips On Life

Don't watch multiple episodes of Mystery Diagnosis late at night when you are sick and have a high fever, because invariably you will think you have every disease they showcase.

Tiff's Tips

I don't generally recommend movies unless it's maybe a rated G kids film because I know that consciences vary and I don't want to offend or stumble anyone. So, taking that into account, I am not recommending this movie - I'm just making a suggestion if you do see this one. If you go to see Duplicity, there is a lot going on in this film, in fact, sometimes the screen splits into four different scenes and there are a lot of plot twists and turns, so if at all possible, I would recommend not getting up to go to the bathroom, because if you do, you probably will be totally lost when you get back.

Morning T

Location: Work, although I still feel cruddy and wish I was at home in bed. Gobi likes it when I'm home sick because then she gets to hang with me all day and being the self-centered little beast she is, she doesn't care that I feel sick.

Listening to: AR Rahman's "Shakalaka Baby." This is one of the songs in the Broadway musical, "Bombay Dreams" which Nikki and I and a couple of other sisters saw at the Paramount a few years ago.

Mood: A bit grumpy because I'm nauseated, congested and I have a headache. Spring has finally come and it is kicking my tuchas!

Afternon T

Location: Back at work after an extended illness - I was out parts of 2 weeks with a viral infection. Yuck!

Listening to: Adam Sandler's "Hine Ma Tov" off of "The Jewish Songbook, The Heart & Humor of a People" album. I'm trying to get a better feel for the Jewish part of my 'alleged' heritage. I think this is the only song I've heard Sandler sing where he's not trying to be funny - I think I prefer Jason Alexander's "Shake Hands With Your Uncle Max."

Mood: A little queasy and wiped, but I'm still hoping to go out this evening after work and help finish distributing Memorial invitations.
