World's Shortest Fairytale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, 'Will you marry me?' The girl said 'No.' And she lived happily ever after and went shopping, drank margaritas with friends, always had a clean house, never had to cook, had a closet full of shoes and handbags, stayed skinny, and was never farted on.

The End

I Have the BEST Job

Look what was on my desk when I came in this morning! A recycled creature for my garden, handcrafted by one of our heavy equipment operators, Andy. (The same one who did my bottle tree!) I can't wait to add it to the garden!! It's made from a small propane tank! LOVE IT!

Love at First Sight

Okay, you know how some people say they "knew" the minute they met their spouse that they were "the one?"

Well, it's happened to me. Sorta.

I went to a new hair stylist today, and I can tell you that he is last hairdresser I'll go to in Columbia.

Yes, I know. I'm what one one my hairdressers referred to as a "hair whore," but this one is for real!

Last week, I went t0 Mid-Carolina Electric Coop for a meeting, and out of the car beside steps THE HAIRCUT I've always wanted. When I asked the girl who cut it, I was thinking that she'd either say someone far out in the Hinterlands or Tim at Austral - yeah, $100 a pop Tim. But as fate would have it, she has it done in FOREST ACRES!

When I saw him today, well, the rest is history!

HOOOORAAAAAY!

I tried this new coffee this morning and wasn't impressed. I found it bitter.

Mariah Carey Surpasses Elvis in No. 1s

HUH? I haven't heard a new Mariah Carey song since the 1990s, and only occasionally heard an old one on an easy-listening/oldies station.

U.S. singer Mariah Carey arrives at a department store in central London, for a signing, Tuesday April 1, 2008. Carey on Tuesday attended the only planned signing in Britain for her latest single

With her 18th chart-topper "Touch My Body," Mariah Carey has passed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard singles chart, and is now second only to the Beatles. But while the diva was in full celebration mode after learning of her latest milestone, she was also quick to put her accomplishment in perspective.

"I really can never put myself in the category of people who have not only revolutionized music but also changed the world," Carey told The Associated Press on Tuesday via phone from London. "That's a completely different era and time ... I'm just feeling really happy and grateful."

Carey's single is the new No. 1 single on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart: The song also is No. 1 on the trade magazine's digital download chart thanks to a precedent-setting 286,000 downloads in its debut week. She had been tied with Presley with 17 No. 1 singles; the Beatles are the all-time leaders with 20. (Madonna also beat a Presley record this week, surpassing the King for the most top 10 hits with her 37th for her hit "4 Minutes.")
