Apr. 27th, 2009 11:54 pmWow, I had some positive interaction with my dad tonight! He drove my grandparents out to Lancaster today because my grandfather wanted to get some plants for his garden and while they were there, he came across a tea place and bought me a small box of chocolate-mint tea for no reason. I'm really intrigued by this flavor. (I do love mint-chocolate, as I always call the flavor, but I'm not sure how it'll be in as a tea.)
And I cut grass in the backyard today and he seemed surprised that I had done it and actually told me that it looked good.

My blood test went really well today. I was in and out in about 15 minutes and more of it was waiting than the actual test. And normally when I go, it takes forever for the technician to find the vein and I get pricked a few times and they end up having to use a butterfly needle. So I started to tell her, figuring I'd save us both the time and hassle, and she stopped me and was like, "Don't tell me and I won't get nervous." So I didn't and stole myself for "the ordeal", but she got the needle in on the first try and one vial later, I was done. Though, now I have bruise on my arm about the size of a quarter. But I'll take that if it means I only got stuck once. :-D
******
I had a sorta day off today. I didn't have to go in until 4:30, since I had the UD Library Association Dinner tonight. It was really nice to be able to sleep in and have an extra "day". I was productive and got my whole to-do list done, along with one or two other things, so that makes me very happy.
And the dinner's always fun. I had to be up there and set up by 5:30, and the event started at 6 with an open bar. I sell the speaker's books before the dinner, get to eat a really nice dinner (this year's main entree was fillet mignon) for free, and get to hear an interesting speaker. This year's speaker was Miss Manners, Judith Martin. She was funny and I enjoyed her talk. (And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was vastly amused when, asked about dealing with people who always bring their children to events, as part of her answer she said, "...because you're thinking, 'Don't bring your damn brats to my thing'.")

So, I saw something of a casting spoiler for one of my shows on IMDb.com and it's driving me nuts!
(Not going to give specific details because a) I don't want to spoil anyone else if it's true and b) I'm not sure of the accuracy of the information, since I myself don't kept up with spoilers. Besides, it's coming from IMDb.com, which is still something of a wiki - remember the whole thing about Britney Spears being on BtVS "because the IMDB.com website said so"?)
Anyway, if said info *is* correct, it's just - OMG, dude! It could have the potential to be *really* really cool. And I hope it is true and that it is cool because, seriously? That would be awesome.
