procrastinating...

it was a slow day at the smooth grind today. i would have made another post from work since you all seemed to like it. but i didn't know i would be working all afternoon until i was there so i didn't bring my laptop. i would have had plenty of time too. it was a slow day. so i played speed scrabble by myself.



i am really proud of myself for getting "mullet" in there.

again there was a group of people studying. (again it was 2 girls and a boy, but not the same ones) they were doing math and i was bored. i thought about studying with them. that might be odd though. what do you think? if you were in a coffee shop would you let the barista (yes thats the word for boys too) study with you?
maybe next time...

well thats all i've got for now. mainly i just wanted to brag about using mullet and postpone from cleaning the bathroom. don't get me wrong i am going to attack that thing. i just didn't want to start yet. if you need me in the next hour and a half thats where i'll be. listening to adventures in odyssey and cleaning like crazy.

update: an hour and a half, three adventures in odyssey, lots of fumes and paper towels later and that bathroom is super clean.

Working this afternoon at the Smooth Grind

so i am working right now... coffee shops (at least this one) are pretty fun places to work. i can listen to the different people sitting and talking.

one group this morning was from a church and they were having a meeting about 2 missionaries they were supporting that go out and live with homeless people and witness to them and if they we be about to give enough support for the two people two and another two people to their team. i thought what do they need support for. they are being homeless...

another group one table away from them was talking about surrogate mothers and things.... i tried not to listen to that conversation. yuck.

the skate ladies are in now. they are regulars. nice old ladies who skate next door everyday and then come in for lunch together.

there is a table of three students from northwestern. i recognize them all but we don't know each other. one of the girls asked the boy how to spell traitor. he told he how to spell it, but none of them know he is wrong.

i just had to take a break from writing this to help what i assume to be a grandfather, mother, and baby girl. the lady and man were fighting over who was going to pay. both asking me to take their money. i went with the father because he had his out first. it reminded me of when my dad and grandpa fight over who gets the check. once my grandpa offered the waitress a hundred dollar tip if he got the bill, before we had even ordered. to bad these people didn't do that.

ok i might want to revise my grandfather, mother, baby theory... they are looking at a paper and he is giving corrections and things. he brought in the baby and i think she got the bottle out so who knows.

well thats what's happening in the land of the Smooth Grind.

Well its 2008.

i haven't accidentally written 2007 on anything yet. i hope the new year is treating you all well.

i was at barnes and noble today. i wish i could just wander around a bookstore and get any book that looked interesting. if i won the powerball i would definately bring a shopping cart to a bookstore and just go around getting books. it would be sweet

today i got Basic History of the United States by Charles and Mary Beard. it looks to be an interesting read, plus the book just looks sweet.


inside the book's cover is this


i also got The Faith of the American Soldier by... i can't remember but its the guy who wrote The Faith of George W. Bush.

the best part is that they were both only a dollar each. how can you get better than that? well i suppose fifty cents would be better. or free. maybe if they paid me to take them....

man these books sure make me look like a nerd. man... i am a nerd. oh well.
