brought to you by random.

oh, hell. it has been a monday.

i can't even be bothered to use capital letters.

No, that's annoying. I shall use capital letters afterall.

I MIGHT EVEN USE THEM IN AN ENTIRE SENTENCE.

(Insert PRIMAL SCREAM FULL OF EXPLETIVES here.)

No, today wasn't that bad. Work is was just a stressfest. I had to cross out the "is" because I'm home now, so it's past tense. I shouldn't even be thinking about it anymore.

So, I won't.

Next topic: let's be honest. Since I'm at the end of my rapidly fraying Monday-rope, I will just tell you a few random Tidd-Murphy-bits about my day:

1. I almost rear-ended someone on my way home from work because I was thinking about my WIP. (Yay! I'm turning into a bonafide writer -- all distractedspice and dreamy acting and aloof. Abnormal.)

(Opps. Are my writer-friends offended, or do you agree that we are all that way to some extent?)

2. I got really excited tonight when I stopped off at Target and purchased Eyeliner, because I haven't really ever worn it on the regular, but plan to attempt a smoky-eyed Tuesday. I should probably practice tonight.

3. I also got something else at Target -- something specialspice, which I will be mailing out in a very much worth-the-wait package for the winner of my month-old giveway. If your name is Tina Sandoval, get excited!

4. I told Tina that she would be getting her package in the mail "this week." Unfortunately, it was last week when I said those words. (Via Skypespice. Woot!) Anyway, Teener, if you're reading. I'm sorry. Please flog me for my general lack of postal punctuality. Le package will arrive. Soon.

5. Guess who won the NCAA tournament bracket pool at my work? Just guess.

6. It wasn't me. Good guess, though. It was this gal who literally flipped a coin for each game, until I explained to her about seeding, and then she used white-out pen to make some last minute changes. She was the only person at my bank branch who picked one of the teams in tonight's championship game. (Duke.)

7. P.S. Go Butler. I loathe some BlueDevils. Y'all know I'm a Hoosier.

8. I'm kind of enjoying this numbered and orderly post.

9. Ohh, listen! Some crazy customer left a Target cart in front of the bank last week -- I think it was Wednesday. (I was so pissed. It was litterally right by our front door! We even called Target and asked them to send someone over to get it.)

9.5 Who finally pushed that cart back to Target today? Me.

10. In fairness, I only pushed it to the back of their store, by the loading dock, because it was hella too far to be strutting to their front entrance in my high heels at 8:30 this morning.

So, there you have it.
Whether you wanted it or not.
But, I'm sure you wanted it.
You know you adore me.

My Monday was about the same. I need some chocolate. Is it despicable to steal from my kids? Oh, well...they'll thank me later. Excitedspice

I think Mondays should be outlawed, because of their awfulness. But that wouldn't really work cause we'd start to hate Tuesdays.

Anyhows - yay for the WIP being on your mind so much! That screams bona fide writer, you know:)

You seemed to have misstepped when you failed to take advantage of returning the cart to Target to get the eyeliner you got later.

Had you done so, you never would have nearly rear-ended the other driver, and your day would have been ENTIRELY DIFFERENT (note caps).

In fact, you might have changed the time-space continuum enough that YOU would have won the NCAA pool.

Moral: next time the bank sends you on a crappy job, take advantage of it!

Okay, is it awful to admit that I am so lost when you're talking about that bracket pool thing-a-ma-bob? You've brought stuff like that up lots and I'm always sitting here scratching my head going, "Is that some American thing?"

Jud Was Right: Karen DID NOT damage her Lexus on the Traverse - A Garage Story

Edit: ideal to read this with the FOIA drive open to access each ring video referenced as you go. Other recommended research/ reading: The Commonwealth's Statement of the Case June 2022 pg 14, and Evan Brent's trial 2 testimony. I am now CERTAIN Karen broke her taillight pulling into John's garage when she arrived home from FV. Here's why: The first time we see it broken (to my eye!) is  in the FOIA Ring Doorbell cam - we see Karen backing out at 5:07am. As Boozey Beauty pointed out, the angle in which she's backing out is odd. The beginning of the FOIA footage shows the SUV backing out and if you move the banner showing the play/ pause buttons, I think you'll see it. Watch the first 3 seconds, if you haven't already. I watched in .25 speed and paused each second. FOIA file ID 1643450878000. The TL doesn’t look “right” as it passes the illuminated vertical frame of the garage door on the left of the screen. Look at shape, not color. It’s better on video, bu...

Last Call: John O'Keefe's Journey from Waterfall to Fairview (12:11:09am - 12:21:09)

I tend to bury the lead, so let me say this up front: I won't get to any of it in this post, but by 12:24:22am on January 29, 2022, John O'Keefe had arrived at 34 Fairview, gone into the house, been incapacitated, and had been dragged down the two short flights of stairs down to the basement, and up the stairs to and through the bulkhead door.  Yes. All of this happened by 12:24:22am. And here's how I started my research this week to figure it out: When I decided to look at timeline, I didn't think I'd spend all my free time in an entire DAY focusing on the short time frame of 12:11am - 12:21:09. I wanted to go "back to the start" (shoutout to Coldplay!) and figure out what the time discrepancy was really all about. I started with steps: Hyde (report) 12:11:09 - 12:21:09 170 steps 326 feet Guarino (testimony) 12:11:09 – 12:21:05 170 steps 326 feet Whiffin (report) ...

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...
