Driving around town, I had a car in front of me with a Stormlight Archive decal!  Geeking out in traffic, I decided not to blow my horn and make the bridge four salute at them, since I try not to act like a crazy lady( at least in traffic).

I can't describe how excited this made me.  None of my friends and co-workers are into fantasy (I've tried, alas) so it's nice to see someone in my town other than bookstore workers excited for Sanderson.

I went to a local park to look for milkweed seeds this evening, and I found a bunch! Milkweed is what monarch caterpillars eat, and my mom has been raising them this summer, so she asked me to get her some seeds of the kind of milkweed that grows in Utah but not where she lives in Ohio. So that was neat.

And while I was at the park I got some nice photos of a kingfisher! I didn't have any good ones until now, because kingfishers aren't very cooperative: Usually they fly away as soon as you look at them, let alone put your camera up. :lol: But this one spent several minutes sitting on a little pier at a pond, diving off every once in a while to catch fish.

Belted Kingfisher. This one's a female because she has two bands across her chest/belly. Males only have one band, and it's the same blue-gray color as their back..

And my favorite photo from today, the kingfisher in the middle of a dive off the pier for a fish!

I recently played at a coffee shop gig (guitar/singing) and invited a bunch of my friends because the performance was for charity.. Unfortunately, all of them said no. But on the day of, one of them showed up and surprised me, which was awesome! 

Also, I made a Nutella hot chocolate recipe, and it’s actually REALLY good, so there’s that...

Thanks, Niteshado! 

I kind of make it just by throwing in random things... but once I figure out a recipe with set amounts, I’ll PM you for sure. :lol:

I just barely met another Sanderfan right now, and I could tell by his shirt, which had an image of a pixelated Szeth next to a pixelated Nightblood under the quote "Would you like to destroy some evil today?"

It totally made my day. :D

Finally back from Japan and gaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Amazing trip. 

Also! I have been trying to get a post at work that came open in march. I am a Correctional Officer in a mid/high Level Prison. A post, J3, came open in march when the officer assigned to it was promoted to Sergeant. I was told on monday i that got the spot! J3 post is for the school section of the compound. My job is to make sure students come to school, and to keep the teachers safe. I no longer am working on shift, i move to 5&2 shift, and i work Monday-Thursday 10h days, with every Fri-Sun off, AND i no longer work holidays.

Beyond happy for that.

Our new car arrived yesterday and we can go and take a look at it today, check if everythings alright.

I'm so happy, because I really feared that it would take them longer to produce it and the old one is short of breaking down completely. But thankfully it worked out fine.

And I'm really excited to see it and to drive it and everything :D

Someone paid for my hot meal when I went to the grocery store yesterday! At the checkout I realized I'd left my card at home, so I asked the cashier to set my food aside for me while I rushed home to find it. When I came back, she told me the older gentleman in line behind me had paid for it! So nice of him, and really appreciated.

Also I noticed that I now have a "Members" title under my pic. I assume that's a good thing? ^_^
