I was a lot less bothered by the thought of snakes before I had a pretty nasty car accident at the beginning of the week -- my Cherokee landed upside down in a creek, and I had to be a dashing dramatic heroine and cut myself out [and escape through the window!], and later the sheriff told me there were creek snakes by which I would have been "all bitten up" by morning.
A big EFF YOU to snakes in my book.. but not so much as deer. Deer carcasses. In the road. To swerve to avoid*. [*Never do this.]
PS I am pretty much perfectly okay! I just gots some beef with snakes and deer that I did not before.
Hello Jon - I've been reading your blog for a long time now and it might just be my favorite of any blogs that I regularly read, but I always feel a bit odd about leaving comments. I'll finally take that plunge today because #5 on your list made me laugh out loud at my screen - I do the exact same thing! I think I kind of use it as the deciding vote when considering a purchase: I could buy this new bag or 3 CDs. (I usually go with the CDs.) I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one... I also measure time in terms of how many songs it's equal to. It takes about 2-3 songs to walk over to the grocery store, but 5-6 to walk up to the shopping center of my town. I don't know why, but I'm sure there's a reason somewhere.
Anyway, thanks for keeping me entertained every morning. 
Other office supplies you may want to consider lifting - dry erase markers to keep shopping lists on the side of your fridge. Thing I used to do in London, thank you Reuters.
Jon screams like a little girl, when it comes to spiders. I miss that.
Amazon warrior little girls, mind you.
Other ways to measure large amounts of money can include:
- Seasons of TV shows on DVD
- Fancy electric violins
- Vodka
I use to do #5 as well, until I got married. Now I don't even purchase CDs. Anyway I can't stand spiders.
