Today...

...I reached Model Sister rank over at SIStv. Yep. :)

...I woke up to find two blue jays perched on a shrub outside my window. Up close and personal. It was lovely. Then they flew to this tree, which is fast losing all it's leaves, although you can't make the birds out in the picture. Also, taken through a screen, it sort of gives the picture a neat texture...
....I pretty much got in a fight with a cashier and one of the service desk managers at my local Border's. Now, I don't like conflict and I don't like to start conflict and I work in retail, so I'm always very understanding of policies and procedures, but these people were ridiculous and had no clue about a certain program that the company they work for is involved in and basically told me I was crazy in front of the rest of the line. I won't get into the whole story because it's a long one. Long story short, I was right and tomorrow morning you'd best believe that I will bring in a print-out proving to them that their company is involved in said program. Will use up the rest of my gift card on a copy of "Twilight" and then will be writing a letter to corporate recommending that they educate their employees on the programs they are involved in and also re-educate them on customer service. I've always loved Border's. Always bought my books there and cute Paperchase goodies and ignored that their CDs and DVDs are WAY overpriced. Now, I'll buy my books on Alibris or Amazon and will try to avoid shopping at Border's at all costs.

...is this guy's birthday. Saw him Wednesday night for the first time since July. He was amazing, as usual. Also, made this fun little birthday card for him......is Halloween and I still have yet to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", "A Garfield Halloween", the Olsen Twins' "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble", or any of the "Roseanne" Halloween episodes, so I'd best be doing that now.Happy Halloween, everyone! Be safe. Don't get into any fights with any retail employees, like I did. :)
