I glued myself to a fossil today.

that's the best news I've heard all day!

yeah, it's been that kind of day.

:) The fossil and I both survived.

oh so tongue-in-cheek

That brightened my day, too. Says something about the week...

Heh. We both survived, and I now have a small patch of this industrial glue stuff on my thumb that will wear off over the next few hours.

And I managed to get my fossil completely out of the rock. Yay. I get to pulverize the rock now to see if there's anything else inside it.

Go home. Drink margaritas. Relax. Watch bad movies and laugh until you're red in the face (I think History of the World Par I is on tonight...).

I want this week over.

Take care.

Margaritas ... now there's an idea...

I'm so proud of you.

I think it was a milestone in my personal development.

I'm happy that I could put things into perspective for you. :D

On purpose? If so, cool! If not, um, water soluble glue? ;)

Heh. :) Nah, it wasn't too bad - it was a slow-drying glue, so I could pull it off before it affixed itself permanently. Left a couple of patches of glue on my thumb until it wore off later this afternoon, though. It's stuff called "butvar" (pronounced BYOOT-var) that we brush on fossils to stabilize them and to glue bits that fall off back on again. If I'd let it dry completely while holding the thing, I think it would have been part of me for some time -- I didn't peel the stuff left on my thumb off, because it seemed to want to take skin with it.
