A little bit of this....

Toby Keith Lyrics
"A Little Too Late"
I can humble myself enough to envision one of my exes saying these words...

It’s a little too late,
I’m a little too gone,
A little too tired of just hangin’ on
I’m letting go while I’m still strong enough to
It’s got a little too sad,
I’m a little too blue
It’s a little too bad
You were too good to be true
I’m big time over you baby
It’s a little too late

There was a time,
this heart of mine,
would take you back every time
don’t you know
It’s been two packs of cigarettes
a sleepless night
a nervous wreck, a day ago.
Now you ain’t got no business coming around
I’m closing up shop
Shuttin’ us down

I’m big time over you baby,
It’s a little too late
Word of the Day for Wednesday August 2, 2006

supercilious \soo-puhr-SIL-ee-uhs\, adjective:
Disdainfully arrogant; haughty.

The girl has a supercilious expression, and seems to be looking down her nose at the camera.

Hot, hot, hot

A heat advisory is on until tomorrow evening. My shopping trip with the residents had to be canceled due to extreme heat. I already had one person pass out on me last week...don't need that again.

I've been working hard on my family tree and now I think I realize why none of my family likes to talk about our family - you might not like what you find out. Sure, everyone loves to find out about their ancestors from foreign lands, but knowing that your great grandparents were first cousins, not something you want to revisit. (That's not what happened in my case, for the record, no, even better, but I won't share or my family may shoot me.)

In other news, I picked up a temp assignment at my former university. I start on Monday and it should last four to six weeks. It will be in the same building that I spent most of my time in. I think it may be a bit weird going back, but we'll see - at least I know my way!

Keep cool, folks. Stay very still and very close to air conditioning.
