Three random facts:

[Cuilanië]

- I called my father. He was glad to hear me... :)

- My room is a real mess again. Horrible how little time it takes to make a mess, and how long to put everything back...

- I need to sleep. I haven't been sleeping too well.

[nymphette]

1: mysundown15- suzy is beautiful!!!!!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am meeting the Boy for lunch tomorrow.

2. I am the Boy's first girlfriend. No, he's not a loser. Neither am I.

3. He is a math major... that still seems very wrong to me.

[gwensmom]

Working full time is kicking my butt!

I had to come home and take a nap this afternoon.

My attitude toward work is much better since I had some time away

[nymphette]

1: julian was a lizard today... dressed in his old halloween costume and kept flicking his tongue out at me when i'd talk to him... i think this was his sneaky way round the 'if-you-stick-your-tongue-out-at-me-you'll-go-to-your-room-for-a-time-out' rule... i let it slide because he makes a pretty cute lizard....

2: julian and i made goldenrod honey granola bars.... the kind of honey makes all the difference when you mke granola bars!!!

3: where's tom???

4: bonus: because #3 was not a fact... though it's a fact that i dont' know where he is lately...

[medeous]

1. i made a single box of samoas last TWO days!! :o
2. i don't have an easter dress yet, but i have nan's and i've picked one out for the pup ;)
3. i have been oh-so-casually grilling "older" moms about pregnancy past 35...i'm so jealous of new- and soon-to-be moms! :'(

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I got stuff done today.

I made offensive stickers today that I won't post here but I think they are great, and offensive... maybe.

I am going to eat your brain.

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad and I had a fight again tonight.

I am too po'd to sleep.

So I started on Harrison's scrapbook pages instead. But don't worry Robyn, i did not let any bad karma leak out onto them!

[bluecrayon]

I am getting frazzled -- I keep forgetting to log out when I leave the computer so it looks like I've been here all night --

when really I've been THERE all night>>>> at that table doing lmaos.

I should really go to bed right this minute as I have to get up at 530am which is only 6 and 1/2 hours away..

Yes I did! They were in her little red wagon that I stepped over a million times while looking.

1. I posted my picture on the picture thread.

2. I am burping up essence of Corned Beef and Cabbage. Much better earlier.

3. I lost the e-bay tricycle already...it was $20 on Amazon (but it is now out of stock or discontinued) so I wasn't going to pay more than $30 for it.

Bonus Fact:

4. We had green mint-chip ice cream after dinner. Yumm!

[bluecrayon]

heh heh -- and here I am again -- a little past 6am.

I had a small mountain of email to navigate through...

6 days.

[Dalmaney]

1. I got to sleep in today until 8:30! Yay!

2. I am now sipping my c0ffee and enjoying waking up slowly.

3. Everyone else is doing it... so... SIX! For the record, I'm counting up, not down.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - nymphette you MADE your own granola bars?! gimme!! hehe...

2 - 3 days till spring

3 - i hate not knowing how to respond efficiently to articles that ruffle my feathers

1. Heheehe. I want a Julian of my very own!!!

2. I am all stressing out this week because of college stuff. I have to fill out my financial aid forms ASAP. Hopefully I will get enough aid to cover school costs so that I can finally go back to school next semester.

3. I never thought it would take me 5 years to go back to school. My advice to anyone in college - DON'T take a semester off - EVER - because it ends up turning into years off and then it's all the harder to go back. :(

[Curlita]

1. I made pudding last night, and now it is sitting in the fridge tempting me every time I open the door.

2. I did three interviews yesterday and today I get to decide who to call for second interviews. I'll be glad when this is over!

3. My mother-in-law is pleading with us to come visit her. She conveniently ignores the fact that we do not share weekends, Jonny cannot yet take vacation at his new job, and in any case he has to save his vacation days so he can use it to take time off when the baby comes. Grrr. I hate having the guilt screws turned on me!

[cdonley]

1. 4 days now with no Nervy mail - what is going on here?!? Hoping today is a magical postal day... ^_^

2. According to my BalanceLog software: vigorous sex burns 202 calories an hour

3. My son and I are in a power struggle as he refuses to eat a banana - you mom's know what I am talking about....

[thunderstorm_19]

My mother-in-law is pleading with us to come visit her.

sounds frustrating... would you going to visit her yourself fix her beef?
or her coming to stay with you for a weekend if she's able?

1- i too, want all my mail to arrive!!!!!! (!!!)

2- i'm gearing up for earth month.

3- dad's making (ok well opening a can and heating up) chili for lunch.

[cdonley]

3- dad's making (ok well opening a can and heating up) chili for lunch.

1. That happens when I leave my husband to make dinner...

2. My son ate the banana!

3. My b-day is in one week - ugh - hopefully my husband will remember - he's a little spotty with these things...

[cryptaesia]

busy busy busy busy

this is the concert wonky and i are attending this saturdayzentertainment (http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/TorontoSun/Entertainment/2004/03/18/386297.html)

20 bucks five acts and non stop dancin'

[tanagee]

It is so odd to read and hear about snow when it is in the 80's here I am wearing shorts.

I was sitting here trying to solve my non-viewable picture issue when I heard a small 'crack' and the sound of plastic hitting the wall. I looked out in the living room and Megan's little cheapy resin chair I bought at the dollar store broke. The leg sheared right off. :angry:

Next she came in here and opened up my pencil sharpener and freed the shavings. She said something resembling "I have to clean it up" In 2 year-old speak. I told her "It's okay, I'll get the vaccum and clean it up". She looked at me and said "I go get the vaccum" and ran off. She came back with a potholder and a saucepan :)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - the chili was yucky; it was spiced with cumin, which is a spice i hate

2 - my fibres aren't here yet... maybe tomorrow?

3 - saved by the bell still rocks

1. :lol: I so wish I was a mom, or at least a nanny! Kids are so much more amusing than most adults!

2. I am having Doritos for lunch. I don't even like Doritos that much, but they are about the most filling thing in the vending machine at work. I really need to think of more things I can make at home and bring in for lunch.

3. Tomorrow night I'm making lasagna for dinner. Woohoo!

[medeous]

1. i like dentyne ice
2. it clears my sinuses
3. but after about 20 minutes, my mouth feels like i've been eating a styptic pencil.

It might, but I don't want to drive all that way by myself (it's 4.5 hours). Or I guess I could take the train. She makes me tired. It's easier to see her in a pair.

I'll invite her to come up here. She provides child care for her other grandchildren, so even though she is technically retired, she still has responsibilities. And is less willing to take a day off than we are!

Anyway. I'm at work now. I'm grumpy. And I got here late, so I should stay here late. Bleh.

[timeittook]

-for some reason today i want some deer or bear meat. i don't have any idea why i've got a taste for it but i do. maybe i'll ask around later for some.
-i have a taste for coke today too. i've drank 2 bottle already today.
-i'm contemplating attending school over the summer to at least knock out some classes that don't count so that i can take some that do in the fall.

[medeous]

i have taken over the entire first page of Q&Q
i got paid today
i'm jittery

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm happy and lazy and mellow.

2. It's a cold, grey day... but I'm still happy and lazy and mellow.

3. I should work on my paper... but I'd rather take a nap, or watch bad daytime tv, or just drift into daydreamland.

[medeous]

1. forgot my meds today
2. had ice cream and a cupcake for lunch
3. nothing to do, but 2 hours before i can go home.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - made tea, then spilled some of it over my hand and onto my pants

2 - watching a show about mummies

3 - was watching a show about great white sharks before that

[chunkymonkey]

1. I've become obsessed with checking the gallery for new uploads.

2. my hands are starting to look like an art project of their own... must wash hands.

3. I haven't been able to get to my po box for my mail since monday. :'(

[Cuilanië]

- OMGOMGOMG - then again, I still can't believe this is really going to happen... I feel like something's going to go wrong at the last minute... -_-

- No sleep for me tonight - that's not nerves, just practicality! ^_^

- ONE... well, 26 hours. :D

[sarahkate]

1. Is Eve counting down the days until she frees the evil french monkeys? Is she going to set them loose to reak havoc on the world?! :o

2. Is Eve counting down the days until she quits her job?? :unsure:

3. Is Eve counting down the days until she starts her attempt at a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for most consecutive hours one person has spent sleeping (and that's why she isn't sleeping tonight - so she can be extra sleepy when she starts this whole thing in 26 hours??!) :blink:


*those weren't actually 3 random facts if you noticed, they were 3 random questions. ^_^

[Cuilanië]

- No on all three counts... :P :lol: :ph34r:
Edited to add... monkeys... there's an Idea! ;) Must think about it...

- I should maybe start a thread for questions... I'll do that a little later.

- the longest I've spent without sleep is 50 hours. That was followed by the longest period of unbroken sleep I've ever had - 15 hours. That was when I was 19... can't do it anymore.

Be sure to put plenty of CHEESE in it!

I have a feeling my life will be drastically different but better in the next few years. I don't know how or what, but I feel changes a-comin'.

I need liquid starch to use on two half-done projects but can't get to the store until Sunday. Gah!

Empty scrapbook pages are frightening to behold.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - I HATE commercials that talk too fast

2 - spaghetti for dinner tonight!!

3 - it's 4pm and i haven't done the usual thursday bathroom chore... and i don't want to. but i probably will.

1. Oh believe me I will! :lol: I think it's your lasagna/Heather postcard that has really been making me crave yummy lasagna. I see the postcard everyday because it's currently on my refrigerator door B)

2. I signed up for yardenxanthe's finger puppet LMAO. I'm excited and nervous about it! I have never made a finger puppet and I don't really know how to sew, so this is going to be a challenge, but it was calling me - I had to sign up! :) I think I might try making them out of felt...hmm... I hope they come out good!

3. I have to go out and buy a blank tape after work tonight so I can tape the repeat of the pilot of Wonderfalls. I am in love with that show. I highly recommend it!

[Curlita]

One of the many things that makes me cranky is a flaky volunteer who doesn't show up one week and then shows up out of nowhere on a day when I'm not expecting him, then spends the whole time asking me questions. Would like to ask, "Don't you have to leave soon?"

No one will go to the beach with me this summer. :( Husband saving vacation days for when the baby comes, friend busy househunting. And me with a new blue gingham maternity swim suit.

Anyone in WA or OR want to go on a beach/camping vacation with me???

If I was, I definitely would! Heck! If I had a better car I'd drive up there anyway! My aunt lives in Beaverton I could visit her too.

1. I found the tricycle (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004YTP0/103-6315560-2959840?%5Fencoding=UTF8&coliid=I378JEV1PO0VZO&colid=2BBATF642RDJ9) at Toys-R-US for $20!!! It was divine intervention that I was out bid at $30.00! I want to e-mail the person who outbid me and say "ha-ha!!"

2. Went to lunch with my Hubby and he so wanted to take the rest of the afternoon off and go to the beach.

3. Brat's and saurkraut for dinner tonight.

I've had a crush on him ever since he flustered David Letterman...

I will wear my striped tights!

(okay: only one fact up there: so here's 2 --

I am feeling happy as I get ready to go on a journey

I wrote a successful grant! (even while I played chain games sometimes instead of doing number crunching!) )

[Curlita]

My butt hurts. I suspect because I have gained weight. Shouldn't more butt fat pad my butt instead of making it hurt?

Some days I think of starting a "What hurts today?" thread where we can gripe about our aches and pains. But then that seems depressing.

I think it is time for me to go home.

[bluecrayon]

I think it might be time for me to "go home", too...

I see some of my buddies here, but no one is playing..

Maybe later... I am going out to dinner anyway.

[tanagee]

It really irritates me that people I have known for years still get my name wrong, not just the pronunciation of it, but calling me TANYA! I don't want to embarrass them by constantly correcting them, but it makes me feel like I am not important enough to remember.

When I worked at a record store I had a subtitle under my name, on my name tag that read "But if it is close I'll still answer" because few people pronounce it correctly.

I don't know what prompted me to rant like this...

[chunkymonkey]

1. Car fixed. :yay:

2. in 2 hours I will have my mail :yay:

3. snowing out again :middle:

[medeous]

supposed to be 70 here today and there's no fog this morning
some copycat asshole is shooting at cars with a pellet gun along I-55
i get to go in 30 minutes later today!

[Dalmaney]

1. When I started going out with the Boy, my friend warned me I was about to see how far six hours of sleep could take me on a regular basis.

2. Today is one of those days, and I have three solid hours of class, followed by two of working a BBQ, followed by two or three of doing a lab report.

3. Wheee!

[bluecrayon]

5.

I'm excited.

one hand.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i got up just after 7 o'clock today

2 the radio in the bathroom was at least in part what woke me

3 i was having strange screwed up dreams and i'm glad at least that they were stopped due to my waking

[gwensmom]

I am waiting for a post from Cuilainie

Last night we interviewed a promising new babysitter for Gwen.

I am finally ready to admit that Gwen is too heavy for me and we are going to have to get a lift!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - there's a techniques with beads course (3 hrs, once a week for 8 weeks) being offered at the arts centre... costs $320... hmm...

2 - got some nice mail today, but my fibres order isn't here yet

3 - my throat's dry

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - dad's gone for the weekend

2 - think i might curl up with a book

3 - working on some ATCs

[kittymao]

I got a new tooth today! yaay! I felt sad, though- there's still stuff to do and the dentist is so nice, but I can't afford any more work.

I have homework to do. Good thing I'm not doing much today. HEY! It's still early! I can do laundry! *dances*

no rudy this weekend- it'll be too expensive for him to come up here.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i'm drinking a honey-lemon (juice of 1/2 lemon, variable amount of honey depending on how sweet you like it), because my throat dryness is starting to bug me, and it's very soothing...

2 - i decided NOT to add a shot of scotch to it, given that it's only 2:38 in the afternoon.

3 - it's nice and sunny, but too cold to be outside for long...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i'm hungry

2 - gotta let the cat out

3 - or feed him, not quite sure what he wants

[medeous]

1.my daughter has just flipped herself and her chair over backwards

2.i would help her, but i just left that room after helping her when she did it 2 minutes ago

3.she bellowing like an orphaned calf, but i'm not budging

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - had snack, still hungry

2 - throat still sore

3 - booooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeed.

[bluecrayon]

Home from the world -- I sighed when the final chair was turned upside down atop the table...

looking around -- up there, down there, over there, inside this box, on page 3 -- for activity of human life on quizzes and questions since I was here hours ago...

I feel like everyone's at the beach and forgot to give me directions! :(

(ps. I noticed Tom parked here for about 15 seconds early this morning... which makes me kind of sad...)

[Bugitha]

1. I'm debating whether I should do laundry tonight or tomorrow. If I do it tonight, I can loll around tomorrow morning instead of thinking I should go to the l'mat before it gets too busy. But if I do it tonight--well, its Friday and shouldn't I be doing something better than going to the laundromat?

2. If this is my biggest problem, then life is pretty good.

3. I'm making key lime pie this weekend.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am having hash browns for supper.

2. This week has left me tired and beat.

3. Yay! Weekend!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - pork souvlaki with garlic tzatziki sauce is gooooooood

2 - i think AVF really showcases how DUMB some people are (example, don't release balloons near power lines.) --- in fact don't release balloons at all...

3 - if you have pets and kids, please don't let your kids drag the pets around by the tail, paw, neck, belly or anything else... and plz know that it's not entertaining

[gwensmom]

We are getting a new air conditioning unit tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I hope it doesn't because its starting to get warm around here.

I had to make a late night run to the drug store for pamprin <_< and when I got there they had Ben and Jerry's on sale for $2.50! I thought of getting Chunky Monkey in honor of Veronica but banana ice cream is not my fav.

Time Warner cable is driving me mad. Roadrunner has been down on and off for three days. Should I get dsl?

[Dalmaney]

1. I did stay up to talk to the Boy.

2. He's good for me and bad for my sleep.

3. I'm only young once.

2: where's tom???

3: i miss too much when i'm gone for a day, never mind a week.... i'll never catch up at this rate!!!!

[nymphette]

1: i came home to an answering machine with 32 messages... i KNEW it was the transplant team, because they have an auto message service for people on 'the list' and it phones you every hour until you pick up your message... they wanted to know if harrison for sure got his MMR and varivax because now he's on hold for transplant....

2: <<<hugs>>> for gwensmom.... i hope this babysitter is a good one!!! i tell ya though, i am cheap- move up here and you've got yerself a deal!!! ;)

3: don't let it get around that i am cheap.. then there'll be 32 messages on my machine every day..... :P

2: this is going to send me to bed.. being tired couldnt'... but yech.... i feel yucky....

3: dizzy too, like my head is nauseous.... but my tummy is very nauseous too.....

[littlest-bee]

. I'm typing this on my boyfriend's laptop whilst lying in bed - hurrah for wireless internet connections!

.. Despite being super tired this week I was still wide awake at 6.15am.

... I want to get up and go out - I'm feeling bouncy today!

[thunderstorm_19]

- gully woke me at 6:40 am

- my throat is SORE. i've started saltwater gargling............. i hope it will help.

- i don't feel ill, except a bit tired and the sore throat.

[Sirius]

It's supposed to be 97 degrees today.

I haven't had breakfast yet.

I made my reservations for the trip to Las Vegas.

[Sirius]

The Wiggles are creepy.

I'm going to clean the house today.

April is going to be a very busy month.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i am, officially, under the weather

2 - i thought i was going to be sick a minute ago, but it seems to have worn off

3 - i hope mum and i will still go out somewhere fun this afternoon

[Sirius]

I hardly recognize thunderstom with her new avatar.

I need to decide whether or not to have a birthday party for my dad.

I have a five foot stuffed crocodile, thinking it is time to sell it at a garage sale, but don't know how much something like that should go for...

[Sirius]

When I was about nine years old I was sitting at the kitchen table doing my homework. My brother came in to the kitchen, got a hostess cupcake out of the pantry, unwrapped and threw it away. He then stood there looking at the wrapper. He was so frustrated he didn't even get another one out of the pantry but just walked away. About twenty minutes later my mom came in and did the same thing.

I've often wondered if it was some prank or psychological test they were pulling on me, it was just too odd that they both did it.

...but they wouldn't have wasted their cherished cupcakes to pull something on me...

[cheshire-cat]

-In 41 days I will be 23 years old.

-I really love Nymphette's signature and am an incurable Kids in the Hall junkie.

-I only got three hours of sleep last night. :blink:

[Sirius]

When I was six the tags on a new pair of pants were bugging me. So I cut them out, and cut a hole in the pants. To this day, my mother picks on me about it every time I pick up a pair of scissors in her presence.

Maybe that's why I can't cut straight.

Even with a paper cutter.

[cheshire-cat]

-*lol* I bought a paper cutter earlier this month for cutting ATCs and the damn thing "wobbles" so much that the measurements are always off...back to the drawing board I guess.

-I can't go to a fair or amusement park without going on one scary ride ("The Bat" at Canada's Wonderland scared the living bejeesus out of me!).

-I'm pretty sure that my gums are receding and I've been making my family and friends look at them for weeks to find out if they think so too.

[thunderstorm_19]

*uuuughhhh the bat*

1 - just LOOKING at the bat ride makes me queasy

2 - i'd never go on it!

3 - i used to be more daring on rides than i am now

[cheshire-cat]

-I hate it when the computer makes that sound that it makes when it's about to actually do something and then nothing happens. Phooey.

-My cat is enormous and obsessed with food.

-My mom hasn't gone a ride with me since I took her on The Bat ride at Canada's Wonderland. :D

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - uhmmm.... these cough lozenges (the ones i am contemplating using) expired last may

2 - queasy again

3 - took 2 advil

[cheshire-cat]

-I get really nervous about eating recently expired food or taking expired medications even though I know nothing really terrible will happen. Heck, they might actually make my immune system stronger.

-I had my boyfriend chop off most of my hair last week and now my head feels naked.

-If I decided to eat anything at this very moment I'm positive that I would vomit (I bet that's too much information). ;)

[cdonley]

*** I played SimCity 2000 for the first time in about 4 years! Computer games have come a looooong way since it came out.

*** I'm making soup - tomatoes, chicken, corn, cheese ravioli - mmmmmmmmm

*** Together, my three cats weigh 38 pounds - 20lbs ; 11 lbs ; and 7 lbs (we need a cat smiley) ^_^

[thunderstorm_19]

- since it's just a cough lozenge that was still sealed in its bubble, i'm taking my chances, even if it did expire almost a year ago

- the nauseous feeling seems lessened all the while there is something in my mouth (no dirty thoughts please). i mean food/drink/lozenges hehe

- i've run out of things to write for now

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm off to a wedding.

2. I don't really enjoy weddings.

3. The things I do because it's the "right thing to do"...

[cheshire-cat]

-I missed my best friend's wedding because I was out of the country and I'm still kicking myself for it.

-Most of my friends are either recently married or having a baby and I've done neither of those things.

-Surfing the web for good art links is painful. What's the internet for if I can't find a bloody thing without encountering a billion pop-ups and all the really good sites are hiding from me?!?!?!?! *lol*

for me, this is just the opposite. I am the ONLY woman in my group of friends who has kids...

I do not speak of my kids with my friends because it is a foreign language

4 days...

[cheshire-cat]

-At some point in the last three days I misplaced a set of tags that I made for someone as an RAOK.

-George Carlin's voice makes me happy.

-Sometimes I feel like I must be speaking a foreign language when my boyfriend gives me that blank look...you know the one... Looks kind of like that ---> :mellow:

1: i think you found a great one!!!! :P:P:D

Big anti war protest here today -- thousands of participants marking the year anniversary of this invasion of Iraq...

It is just not true that apathy reigns universal...

I am about to go on a tear and bump every darn game up even if I am bumping myself -- hooboy, here I go! :D

[cdonley]

** I just saw a commercial for NEW Rainbow Brite Dolls! Rock on!

** I'm in love with almost anything 80s!

** I have $120 to spend on amazon.com :o any ideas??

[Bugitha]

I hardly recognize thunderstom with her new avatar

I have a hard time with that too! I have to scroll up to see whose facts I'm reading.

1. I want an avatar but not badly enough to figure out how to make one/use one.

2. Today, I packed a couple of pieces of key lime pie in a six pack igloo cooler and toted it around (in my car) for six hours until I could give it to the friend who ooohed and ahhed over key lime pie on the phone last night.

3. I spent $60 on yarn today. I am ashamed.

[gwensmom]

I want Bugitha to tell us about the new yarn

We had thunder and lightening all afternoon and I couldnt get on the computer :angry:

I bought some matte acryic gel medium today. I need to finish a few projects so I can start playing with it.

[Cuilanië]

Three not-so-random facts...

- Yesterday I traveled over 9000km aboard two different planes. (Not at once)

- I've crossed several borders, one ocean, and nine time zones

- All this to meet someone... :wub:

[kittymao]

I knew it was a somebody! But WHO? that would explain why she was gone. So where IS she ?! I am going to figure this out, Dammet!

Uhm. Work was okay.
We're going to have to put down Oreo, our 22 year old half-apaloosa pony. His liver is failing and urinating blood clots. And no one wants to pay for him to get a new one when we barely make enough for the pony ride to sustain itself. That makes me sad, but if he's in pain and miserable with his life, all the better for him.

Uhm. Something happy- I made two Santharian wallpapers! So fun!

- two towns north in fact

[kittymao]

well darn. Nancy drew strikes out.

[gwensmom]

I know something that would drop your jaw

But I can't tell

AAAUUUUUUUGH!

[bluecrayon]

heh heh -- that would mean you're close to me, too!

I am dancing on this!

soon I will not be here, though -- I will be THERE. :wub:

[medeous]

my elite figurin' it out skills are at work
they are usually wrong
i have an idea that would solve two mysteries

[tanagee]

I am listening to my CD I recieved from cryptaesia for sirius' theme mix LMAO. It has an awesome version of Soft Cell's~ Tainted Love on it!!

Megan will be two on the 31st and every day that the actual day draws nearer the terrible two's are more apparent.

I am feeling like such a poser after looking at the work posted in the gallery.

[cheshire-cat]

-What has been going on in this thread earlier tonight has piqued my curiosity. :)

-I had to ban myself from signing up for anymore ATC swaps for the next couple of days because I don't want to burn myself out.

-I'm feeling nervous for tanagee. Terrible twos, eh? Sounds like fun. ;)

[gwensmom]

I woke up an hour ago and can't go back to sleep

I am :) about something.

But I won't be :) later when I am dragging through the day in a sleep-deprived fog.

[gwensmom]

I am all alone in the forums :(

I am already thinking about Christmas presents

There will be no last minute panicking this year!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i've been conscious for an hour (since 7)

2 - on a sunday! i should be sleeping in.

3 - i think it's the cat's fault, but i can't be sure.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. at least mum's gonna make pancakes (english pancakes) for breakfast.

2. my throat hurts!

3. my sister's stage band at uni has a concert this afternoon.

[medeous]

i did not know there were different styles of pancakes

i'm sure i'm supposed to be doing something else right now, but unsure as to what

i want to see kittymao's new tooth -- i want a new tooth

[thunderstorm_19]

american pancakes: the fluffy thick things, most often served with butter and maple syrup... i tend only to eat these while camping, personally.

english pancakes: flat, thin, much like crepes, most often served with lemon juice and sugar. a favourite of mine. :)

1 - i do want to go to my sister's concert

2 - i do not, however, want to shower, dress, and look nice

3 - it's spring, it's spring it's spring!

[Curlita]

1. I am sitting here in the blue gingham maternity swimsuit I ordered for myself on-line. The tags are still on it because I'm thinking about getting a size larger. I'm only 3 months pregnant and this one already fits pretty well. It is stretchy, but I'm not sure how much.... <_<

2. I have not purchased a swim suit in years, but I had to buy this one because it is so dang cute. IT has a little skirt! And little daisy appliques between the boobies!Now I'm trying to think of places I can go swimming this summer.

3. Last night my dreams were filled of you nervousness people, in droves. I can't remember what we were all doing together, though...

[Curlita]

4. I told my boss yesterday that I was pregnant and she was great about it! She read over my plan and didn't even blink, asked one or two questions, but seemed to think that all my ideas were workable and sensible. SO RELIEVED.

5. I am on my way to the Maple Valley Pancake Breakfast with some friends. MV is a little town, and I think that the breakfast is put on by the Eagles Club or the Grange or something.

6. I just remembered that I dreamed about my grandmother last night. She has been dead for four years and I still miss her. It was good to see her in my dreams.

[bluecrayon]

I am winking at Cuilanie ;)

I am tired but happy this morning...

3 more nights... yikes.

[thunder]

1. i like my coffee black, but very weak
2. once my mom and i were sitting in an outdoor restaraunt in new york and a man (whom im assuming is homeless) came over and cursed us. my mom said this happens to her alot. :o
3. i'm involved in a group of teenagers on aol who make zines, much less interesting than mail zines but it's still pretty cool. theres like 1000-2000 of us and there are popular editors, mean editors, nice editors. it's actually a lot like high school.

[cdonley]

1. I know where Maple Valley is....

2. I live south of Seattle...

3. "Do the Puyallup" ^_^

[Dalmaney]

1. My morning became my afternoon before I woke up today.

2. I think I may have taken slight advantage of my drunked Boy last night... I was the DD and completely sober.

3. Nine... man, it's been a crazy March.

[bluecrayon]

what I wouldn't give to speed up my journey

I am feeling him intensely...

[cheshire-cat]

-I dread going to the dentist...not because I'm scared but because I can't stand having another person's fingers in my mouth and I hate the taste of those surgical gloves.

-I can hardly wait until I can go to the dollar store because it's the only store that I can buy a cart full of stuff at and not feel guilty. :)

-I bought my cockatiel a new cage and she hates it.

[Dalmaney]

1. I wish I could have a kitten. The stray cat rescue people have been in the Tunnel at school all week... and they're soooo cute. I love cats. I want to be a cat when I grow up.

2. I can't have a kitten. They are Not Allowed where I live, and I keep leaving town for the summer and going places that would not let me have a kitty.

3. I am a thousand times over a cat person.

[Bugitha]

1. Yardenxanthe RAK'd me with an avatar!!!! Yippee. :D :D :D

2. It's already warm enough to haul out the fans and swamp cooler from storage.

3. I'm in the mood to write letters.

[cheshire-cat]

-I think Bugitha's avatar is very pretty.

-I just bought my boyfriend some honey from the corner store because he was craving it and it cost almost five dollars....but he's worth it. ;)

-I wish Dalmaney could have a kitten. Cats remind me of the simple pleasures in life.

[Dalmaney]

1. It's almost time to go to church. The Boy is taking me.

2. I just chatted to the (Ex)Boy on msn... it's very odd that we're now both with other people.

3. Life is a wild and crazy place.

[nymphette]

1: where's cuilainie??? she's supposed to have put my ulcer to rest days ago!!! i was so patient and she just .... just.... GOES!!!!

2: i haven't got a clue as to where two towns north could be.... everything i knew about u.s. geography, learned in grade six, has been pushed down to 'don't need it' in my head....

3: therefore i dont' know where anyone is there anymore... i can never even remember which sides cali and fla are on!!! :o bad bad robyn....

4: i'd feel worse about that if i had never known where all the states are, plus their capitals, nicknames, mottos and flowers were... but i did....

5: who in the states can name me the capital of alberta??? :o :P ;)

[bluecrayon]

Cuilanie is geographically somewhere near to me --

My life is passing by too fast

[nymphette]

It's fun, alright!!!

and the best part is cuilanie is probably smiling at us!

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I have had a very busy and productive week

This is not normal, I usually don't do much at all

I have worked VERY LONG and hard on something for harrisons sale, I had his cute lil face in my head along with favorite robyn sayings from posts as I worked. I will still be donating a painting I just have to scan in a picture, i am sorry i have taken so long...... again I've been busy

3: it's interesting... verrry interesting... chris hates it but i am having an open mind... :)

[medeous]

okay, this is what i have deduced:

hammerquill does indeed have company
that company is cuilanie
i'm certain of this

[nymphette]

1: i was about to :poke: medeous... :D

2: i have that figgered out too... i \think...

3: has she figgered out where tom is???

[Myriad]

1. My hair is not naturally fire engine red.
2. It's also not naturally grass green.
3. I've had 5 different last names.

[Lilac]

There is a squirrel in my car.

I'm getting a trap tomorrow to catch it.

My son wants to keep it as a pet, but I don't think so.

[Dalmaney]

1. There's a Nervousness love story going on right around me and I haven't been paying attention!

2. Oh wait... I think I'm in the middle of my own love story, which is far more personally entertaining.

3. It's early, but I'm sleepy. Alost time to call it a night.

[bluecrayon]

does anyone think the clues Cuilanie left were wide enough to drive a Mack truck through??? :lol:

Dogs are enroute to nymphette...

Tom is in Tomland and I think we just have to gang up on him and bring him back!

[kittymao]

Wa? eve's with reed? with two of them together, I really wanna meet them!
*sigh*

TWO TOWNS NORTH!? *smacks head* I really should have seen that one.

Egads I suck.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I don't want to drive a mack truck through anything, ever.

I have canker sores, and I am getting cranky

Life's going around in a forward motion

[bluecrayon]

come meet them with me, because I am only one bridge away from them --

I think I can hear them laughing...

I'm fairly certain I'm totally ephemeral...

[Curlita]

1. I was pretty sure I'd figured it out after I looked up where kittymao lived, and then dashed off to get my own map.

2. I had fun at the pancake breakfast. Cdonley, my neighbor, where do you live?

3. I have to go to work tomorrow, even though it is technically a day off. We are doing final interviews for my assistant!

[hammerquill]

1. Medeous is the secret-figuring-out queen. But we knew that.

2. I'm not surprised cb can hear us laughing.

3. Eve is beautiful.

[Cuilanië]

- Reed is wonderful, but he does like to make me blush...

- That's worth way more than three facts in itself.

[Dalmaney]

1. Awwwww...

2. I'm not ready to face reality yet. Stupid reality needs to take all my time for the next three weeks, and I really would rather direct my time elsewhere.

3. Ah, heck, one more time for everyone that deserves one: awwwwww.

[bluecrayon]

not quite 6am again and the darkness ticks around me...

the weekends end way too soon and my real life yells at me way too often...

[littlest-bee]

I bought fudge today.

It worries me slightly that this is not my first random fact post which features fudge.

The fudge is goooooood.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - so i just read about 2.5 pages of these...

2 - so eve's with reed... awwh :)

3 - i did go to my sister's concert band concert. the jazz band (which she is not in) played also. they were not very good. the concert band was great, even though i don't care for band music.

[littlest-bee]

I just posted three facts and then noticed the romatic hoo-ha trailing back through the last 4 or 5 pages.

All I can say is awwwwww!

Yay for Eve & Reed!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i just watched dharma and greg. :)

2 i'm still heady and my throat still hurts, so i'd kinda like to go back to bed.

3 we went out to have dinner after the concert, and the "free" bread they gave us while we were waiting for the meals was corn bread. i looooooooooooooove corn bread.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 something creepy just happened

2 i didn't like that

3 very weird

[thunderstorm_19]

1 am i the only one having trouble with postcardx?

2 my coffee's getting cold

3 i don't really care

[nymphette]

1: up all night with baby...

2: i think he has a sinus thing going on.... i have a sinus infection and so does my sister... poor baby, at least we know what is wrong and can deal with it... (even though i refuse to suffer in silence...)

3: chocolate bar for breakfast. only live once.

4: bonus: i am not supposed to be one here until i finish a project.... don' tell anyone you saw me....

5: <waving> hello reed and eve!!!!! :lol:

[thunderstorm_19]

1. my sis tells me px works on her machine

2. that means mine is screwy

3. poops

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i hate weirdo phonecalls

2 now i'll be jumpy all day

[gwensmom]

I SEE you on here Robyn!

Ya'll better be glad you know me online and not IRL because i am in a foul mood today
:angry: :spank: :evil:

I'm sure i will be better after I pop a few pamprin

[sarahkate]

1. Awwww....Eve & Reed. That's just the sweetest thing ever! And I knew it! I knew it all along!!!!!!!! :lol:

2. Actually, I didn't KNOW it, but I THOUGHT I knew and I was right! :D

3. An N'ness love story! So now I'm curious, did you two just meet because of N'ness? Or did you somehow already know each other before? I wonder if any other couples have met because of N'ness in the past. :wub:

I think the next thing ought to be more talk about fudge

I have some Dove dark chocolate easter eggs but they are at home and I'm not! :'(

[nymphette]

1: back to the drawing board.. literally.... :P i have to go finish another project before i am allowed to waste my day here.... so i'll be quick so i can come back.... :P heh heh....

2: and harrison has to go to bed... he's had enough time in his exersaucer.... i think 15-20 minutes is more than enough.....

3: and i have a journal to work on... :)

A Chocolate Coke is a coke with chocolate syrup in it like a Vanilla Coke. Curlita has been talking about going to Johnny Rockets for onion rings and Chocolate Cokes. :)

The clues to Eve and Reed's romance may have flown right over my head, but I remember a lot of the talk about food.

1. I have finished my Altered Paper Doll (http://img38.photobucket.com/albums/v117/tanagee/paperdoll.jpg) for whitequeen22's LMAO. The picture is kind of crappy though.

2. The weather here has been so beautiful we slept with our windows above our bed open.

3. Because of that fact: I slept very restlessly because my psychotic cat lady neighbor (she has graduated from crazy) and her husband were fighting & threatening to kill eachother. Then once I did fall asleep I woke up to my hubby on his knees on the bed looking out the window towards their house across the street, The cops were there! No one died, but I guess someone else in the neighborhood called the cops. Then at 4:30 am I heard her yelling again.

[sarahkate]

1. I have a crazy cat lady neighbor too! When my dog was a puppy the crazy cat lady would through pieces of meat into our backyard for Delilah! :o We kept finding pieces of salami and weird meat flung here and there in our yard near her fence so it must have been her. I guess she was just trying to be nice, but throwing meat into someone else's yard? That's just nuts.

2. I'm intrigued by this whole Cuilanie/Hammerquill thing. It's like a really good soap opera (that's kind of an oxymoron though, don't ya think? :P) I want to know all the details!! I'm so nosey.

3. Last week on my blog I had linked to an online store that sells asian candy. Well I went home from work early on Friday because I felt really sick and when I checked the mail there was a package from the website I had mentioned waiting for me! My boyfriend got me some candy as a surprise! Awww. He's so sweet & asian candy is yummy! :wub:

Same as me! You have to get your priorities right! Food first, then romance.

The fudge I bought today was Clotted Cream fudge, it is so rich that one lump lasts me about half an hour.

I wish I could make my own fudge but my attempts in the past have always failed miserably, it always comes out too hard and grainy.

[AlienSpy]

1. Oh no! I'm craving onion rings and fudge now!

2. My second ultrasound is tomorrow. I've got my fingers crossed.

3. My dogs got spayed this week, poor little girls!

what is an exersaucer?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i did go out cuz i was freakin after this morning's creepyness

2 - i got to the end of my block and then a neighbour drove past, stopped and gave me a ride to the mall since she was headed that way anyway

3 - i called dad on his cell just as i was going to leave the mall, and he was already halfway to the mall looking for me (he knew where i was cuz i called when i got there)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i was tempted to buy a timmy's coffee, but since it plays hell on my nerves, and i already have a headache from not feeling well, i didn't.

2 i did buy some other bits n pieces.

3. i think i might have to go to bed.

1: melt 3 cups of chocolate chips with a can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated!!!) over low heat... add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 cup of chopped almonds... mix well, pour into greased pan and chill...

2: very easy and very yummy...

3: bittersweet chocolate chips are the best of course... :P

No, no, gwensmom, I did mean a chocolate coke. You can get them at Johnny Rockets (a chain) and other 1950's style diners, along with a vanilla, cherry, or lemon coke. It's coke with a couple shots of hershey's syrup in it. Not for everyone, but definitely for me! I'm not sure anyone here has talked about them but me, but I'm sure I've posted about them more than once...

I just got home from doing interviews. I have selected a candidate! Now I just need to hire and train her.

And I need to take the dog out. He is downstairs whining because he could hear me changing into my dog-walking clothes, and then I didn't materialize immediately.

We had a Johnny Rockets here but it closed.

ohhhh one of THOSE!!!

and since i've been cheating, here's 3 facts for everyone, since i haven't been in here in ages

1. 27 more days until I go bald

2. 18 more days until I'm done school (and am home :D)

3. This easter, I'll hopefully get to see my mom :D:D:D:D I's very happy about that possiblitiy :D

[Lilac]

Well...I have the squirrel trap baited and loaded into the backseat of my car.

I WILL NOT be eating this squirrel, even though Gwensdad says it tastes like chicken!

For some reason, everyone at work is intensely interested in this squirrel that is in my car........

[Dalmaney]

1. I anticipate my Easter sucking. I have an exam Easter Monday, the Wednesday following, and a take-home due the Tuesday.

2. I have a strange urge to return to my Catholic roots for Good Friday. I get weird Catholic cravings sometimes.

3. I have written about 650 words of my 3500 word essay, which means I have met my 600 word goal. Tomorrow: get to at least 1300 words.

[Lilac]

I have to add that I ALMOST bought another goat this past weekend. I still might go get it.

[bluecrayon]

I am kind of packing...

I am kind of excited...

I am spinning around the possibilities...

[nymphette]

1: after supper, julian wanted to play a game on the computer... he came back out to the kitchen (where my sister and i were working on stuff for the sale) and said 'mommy, aunty jodi, julian find julian song... listen to sad song a julian song' and i said 'what song??' and he said 'julian song mommy.. sad julian song'... so i went into the computer room with him and he had opened up my mp3 player and put on 'hey jude'... !!!! :D :D :D

2: i told him once when hey jude was on that the song was about another little boy named julian, and it was written for him because his daddy went away and he was very sad, and that it was one of my favorite songs and that the other julian was one of my favorites too and that i named him julian the same as that little boy that they called jude.... he thought that was pretty cool, and i guess he was listening and paying attention!!! :P

3: i am not sure how he knew which song it was on the mp3 player... unless he just randomly picked on with a 'j'... what a kid!!! :)

[Cuilanië]

- It's very hard to frame three random facts...

Originally posted by sarahkate@Mar 22 2004, 07:14 AM
3. An N'ness love story! So now I'm curious, did you two just meet because of N'ness? Or did you somehow already know each other before?

- Yep, met here on Nervousness. :wub:

- I don't have a third fact. It's kind of hard to keep my eyes on the screen. This North American keyboard is driving me nuts, anyway... ;)

I wish I could make my own fudge but my attempts in the past have always failed miserably, it always comes out too hard and grainy.
1: melt 3 cups of chocolate chips with a can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated!!!) over low heat... add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 cup of chopped almonds... mix well, pour into greased pan and chill...

2: very easy and very yummy...

3: bittersweet chocolate chips are the best of course... :P[/b][/quote]
That does sound yummy! Thanks!

I got my first craft-related injury last night (not including paper cuts) - I neatly sliced off the top of my thumb with my cutting knife. NEXT PART NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH! STOP READING NOW! :o There's a large flap of skin hinging off it and there was blood everywhere. I actually thought at one point I needed a stitch but it seems to be sealing up with the aid of a plaster. :lol:

Because I'm still 6 years old at heart, I cried when I did it.

[Dalmaney]

1. Eleven days of school left. To-do list still scary.

2. I'm going to a Formal supper on Friday, and for the first time ever, I have a date!

3. I think I might treat said date... I know he can't actually afford to pay for even himself, but he asked me if I wanted to go anyway. :)

[bluecrayon]

1

day

left.

[Sirius]

1. Brian convinced me to turn the air-conditioning on last night. His logic was it was 90 degrees in te house and I was dizzy and nauseous. Mine was, "It's March!" He had the better arguement. We compromised and we turned it on but set it at 82 degrees.

2. I was freezing all night. I figured it was because we had moved the bed over "winter" (if you can call it winter) and the air was blowing right on me.

3. Turns out something went haywire with the AC and it was cooling it down to 64 degrees. I do not want to see my electricity bill.

[Sirius]

1. I had a history class that was supposed to start on the 15th and I got a call on the 13th indicating that the class was cancelled. So, then as I was scrambling to find an alternative class (when even all the late starting classes have started) I was looking at my transcripts, and thinking something just doesn't fit.

2. I had stupidly trusted that my academic advisor was competent, and it turns out he told me I needed (ready for this) TWO more history classes than I needed, and FOUR more business classes than I needed in order to get my Teaching Certification in history and business.

3. So when I finish the History class I am currently taking, and the Secondary Methds course that starts in April, I will need to sit for the state exam, and do my student teaching, then I will have my Teaching Certification and be 2/3 of the way to my Master's Degree in Education. He also failed to tell me I was one credit, not one class, but one credit short from having enough EDU credits. I took a one day "Publisher for Teachers" class and made up that credit...

Bonus: When I took all of this to the Dean, he went to the advisor sat down with him, and went through my transcripts and made sure we were all on the same page, and then told me I need to continue to work with the advisor who 1) Completely steered me in the wrong direction and 2) Knows I complained about him. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

[Sirius]

Good luck with the thumb littlest bee....sound, um, well...unpleasant.

I am going to Las Vegas the end of July. I'm rying to wait until the 1st of April to make my reservations, because the hotel websites usualy only post their deals three months out. But I am anxious.

I'll focus my energies on planning the Spring Eggstravaganza.

[Sirius]

I'm going to let someone else do my taxes this year for the first time. I have an appointment at 9am. Although I really don't want to do them, I am having a hard time giving up the control of me doing them and knowing they are done right.

I am going to be the awful client who triple checks the accountants work.

I keep thinking if I am going to spend all the time triple checking everything, why not just do them myself?

[bluecrayon]

Heh heh -- I always like reading Sirius's tomes...

I have nothing to report, though

except I'm kind of giddy, but I'm holding it in so I can go to work!

and I wonder what Reed and Eve are up to today!

and if I am going to hear from them... since I live only across one bridge!

hint hint... :D

[sarahkate]

1. I hope Rosie's thumb is all better now! Ouch! I would have cried too.

2. I think bluecrayon and kittymao should meet up with eve and reed .... hey and Laurasia is right around there too. And you can all take some group photos for all of us to see! :)

3. I wish more N'ness people lived around here so they could be real life friends too. It would be fun to have someone to go craft store shopping with who enjoyed it as much as me! Oh and someone to just hang out with, creating artsy/craftsy things all day would be so much fun too.

Oh. It's not better. Oh its a world of horribleness. It makes me feel sick looking at it. I think an amputation is in order. Possible at the elbow, just to be safe. :(

Drama queen, me?

I have 3.2 days left at my job and I am so excited about leaving I can barely concentrate. (Apart from when I'm looking at The Thumb. That demands my entire attention whenever I look at it.)

Did I dream it or did we used to have a "Thumbs up" icon?

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i feel like poo

2 i realised i haven't updated on a couple of things i've received recently, so i need to figure out what they are and let the senders know i got them

3 just in case i'm not on much for a few days, don't panic, it's just cuz i've got a nasty cold and might be in bed alot

[sarahkate]

1. Hope you feel better soon Alison! Feeling like poo is no good :(

2. I want some Peeps. Last year I didn't like Peeps. This year I do, even though I haven't had any so far this year, I just know I like them anyway. The purple bunny ones especially.

3. I need to buy a present for my friend Lynette's baby who is nine months old. I don't know what I should get for her. I haven't been over to her house since the baby was born so I don't know the theme of the baby's room or what the baby has or doesn't have. Hmmm.... what to buy for a nine month old baby girl? Clothes? Toys? :unsure:

[littlest-bee]

Peeps Peeps Peeps!

What is all this talk of Peeps?!

I'm sorry Alison is feeling like poo too. :(

[thunderstorm_19]

1. littlest-bee; i've done a similar injury to myself with an exacto knife... with my index finger... (stop reading if squeamish) i was holding a ruler still, and my finger was stuck over the edge but i didn't notice. so i sliced the side of my finger. then, as it was healing about 2 weeks later, i went and did it again! to the same finger! the second cut was deeper too, it dripped a bit. but that was like, over 3 years ago. I hope your thumb gets better soon!

2. i want to make soup. not heat up a can of soup, but make soup. but i don't have the energy. so i will settle for heating up a can (ok so it's actually a carton, of the gardennay stuff).

3. before i do that, i will have a warm bath, more to help steam my sinuses than anything else.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 thank you guys for your sympathy. i know it's just a cold, but we all know how yucky they are.

2 i want my freakin' mail!

3 one of the things i bought yesterday was a roll of ribbon, dark green background with snowmen. it was on clearance for 75 cents.

[sarahkate]

1. I think today I am just Peeps obsessed! I saw Peeps in a store last night and I almost bought some, but I stopped myself.

2. Next time I am in a store I'm buying some peeps dammit!!

3. Do they sell Peeps in other countries besides the US (and I assume Canada has them too).

[gwensmom]

Rosie, the peeps are here (http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/). Be sure to check out the section about crafts you can do with peeps.

Alison, eat something really spicy. When Gwensdad and I get colds we eat hot and sour soup. It starts working after 2 bites.

It's only 10:30 here and I have already eaten the sandwich I brought for lunch.

[littlest-bee]

1. They don't sell Peeps in this country (England). When I first read it on the boards I thought y'all are talking about people cos it's a sort of slang for it.

2. I just googled Peeps. Marshmallow eh? They look a bit weird. I'm not sure I get it and I daren't explore the website too much cos I'm at work.

3. Maybe I want some Peeps now. Or maybe Wine Gums?

Edited for spelling and to thank Gwensmom for kindly posting a link to Peeps for me!

[sarahkate]

1. Ooooh sorry Rosie, I can see why you would be confused since you are very right that "peeps" usually is slang for people, so my earlier posts about peeps probably didn't make much sense at all to you! I don't think I want to eat purple bunny people though :lol:

2. Now I'm thinking about Easter. And candy. Jelly beans! Oooh. I am a jelly bean snob though. I only like jelly belly or similar "gourmet" jelly beans.

3. I remember one Easter when I was probably 6 or 7 years old, I went with my mom and my dad and my sister to a pond nearby just to walk around I guess. I was wearing a shoestring in my hair. The shoelace was actually made of real lace, and I thought it looked much better tied in a bow on top of my head rather than laced in my shoes. I was such a strange kid.

[gwensmom]

some more facts for Rosie:

Peeps look a lot better than they taste.

I can't eat them at all, but find them fun to play with.

This (http://www.peepresearch.org) is a funny site about peeps

[nymphette]

1: baby up until 4 a.m. throwing up off and on

2: which means me up till 4 a.m... luckily not throwing up

3: diarrhea this morning... harrison, not me... hospital at 7 a.m.

4: useless lab who had to come not once, not twice, but three times to get all the blood they needed... because the 'forgot' some and didn't do it properly

5: harrison on no protein since 2 a.m. but now is to be on pedialyte

6: dietician on holidays until tomorrow morning.... nobody to help with what to feed, or how many calories over the pedialyte he should have

7: husband with an attitude because i expected him to help me out with all this at some point while he was not in bed snoring and resting peacefully.. which would basically be while we were at the hospital

8: me, mega bi%ch because of husband's attitude when he had absolutely no reason to have an attitude... it isnt' as if he had been up all night long cleaning beds and babies and laundry because of lack of bedding and cloths

9: i am done my whining.... move along, nothing more to see.... this being said, i am going to lay on the couch and sleep... well, after i feed julian and get him to bed and get harrison chnged and hooked up to his feeding pump again... did you know they make unflavored pedialyte??? yeah, grape would be kind of wasted on harrison

9:

[sarahkate]

1. Poor Harrison :(

2. Poor nymphette :(

3. *hugs* to both of you. Hope you can manage to get some rest!!

[timeittook]

-i recieved a possible job offer yesterday. it's only like 40 miles from my house so its not that bad. maybe i'll get more offers soon.
-i was excited to hear that i was in the system for possible government jobs since i figured me cracking jokes at my interview screwed me out of a job.
-when i get the choice i'm taking one of the jobs i am offered. i really need a job. i was going to do summer classes but i decided money is better.

[Curlita]

Hugs to nymphette and Harrison after an awful night, and hugs to Rosie and her wounded finger.

I feel more fat and flabby than pregnant and I really should not be showing at 12 weeks and I've already gained the same amount as Julie who is two months ahead of me. :( I like food too much.

I'm not motivated to do much work today, in part because I was here yesterday. Maybe I need to go get a decaf latte.

[picasso]

1. my husband fixed my work printer problems b/c the tech guy couldn't.

2. they are digging all over my house b/c of sewage problems.

3. i'm worried my rent might go up.

[chunkymonkey]

1. when life is getting you down, ignore it, and play chain games.

2. or eat a doughnut

3. Or do both (as I am) :yay:

[sarahkate]

1. Mmmm... donuts.

2. My boyfriend is going out of town for work tomorrow. He will be gone either one or two nights. Staying home alone is scary, though I seem to be more productive when he isn't around so maybe this is a good thing.

3. I really should take inventory of all the stuff I have at home that I don't want so I can trade with people here who might want my junk :) I love trading.

[cryptaesia]

i owe some cds to people....

an indie mix but i dont know who

if this is you please pm me and i will send this out...

[picasso]

edited to say: you owe me an electronica mix. :rolleyes:

i had arby's for lunch. market fresh sandwhich. mmmmm.

i love the Dr. Seuss stamp!

1 *am curling up with tomato soup and grapes*

2 current phase of cold: sneezing

3 oh yeah, advil... *toddles off to get some*

[Curlita]

I just looked at the belly gallery at About.com and feel better. Maybe it is baby, not snicky snacks.

There is still no excuse for the three egg rolls I ate yesterday.

Hmmm, I really should do some work now that I have cleaned out my e-mail box.

[sarahkate]

1. Maybe you are having twins Curlita!! :o

2. I still want some bunny peeps.

3. I wonder how old I will be when I have my first baby.

1. Perish the thought! I actually had a sonogram at 8 weeks because I freaked and out and was certain that something was Terribly Wrong, and there was only one Bean. Twins run in both our families, though.

2. There is nothing quite like a peep. Something about that combination of grainy sugar on the outside and mushy fluff on the inside.

3. My favorite Easter candy are those Cadbury Cream eggs. They make chocolate cream filled ones now, which aren't made to look like yolk and white. They are tastier, and more attractive.

[kittymao]

Cadbury... *drools* The cream eggs are utterly delicious. They have the cream, the Caramel and the choclate! and then there's the sugarshelled mini-eggs! Ak! I want sugar so bad! cannot! * notes she has a stash!*

I would love to meet up. Hm. Where though? Somehwere we can all get tother at.
Well- I'm thinking Union Square in SF cause the City doesn't like cars so much. And Reed and Even can use the Bart and get off at Powell! And it's downtown! We could go to the cheesecake factory and go to artstores and just be all artsy-nervy with each other! AK! THE MOMA! * daydreams*

Ak. My mango! Yumm.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. all this talk about these things called peeps...

2. i'm craving dairy, esp chocolatey stuff, but since my sinuses are clogged, i'm restraining myself. :(

3. *whines* iwan'mymommyyyyyy...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - i want it to be hot, and raining.

2 - it is cold, grey, dingy, might even snow.

3 - stupid winter. stupid cold season. enuf already!

[tanagee]

I like peeps best when they are slighly stale, same with red vines.

When I was pregnant with Megan I gained 30 pounds in the first 3 months, the doctor was scolding me. However, from then on I gained nothing until the last month, then 2-5 pounds.

With all the Peeps talk I am going to post the Lord of the Peeps (http://www.lordofthepeeps.com) website again.

[gwensmom]

Grrrrrr you'd think Gwensdad was trying to get me to leave him!

Maybe he is.

*Going to ponder this*

[bluecrayon]

Whoa! Gwensmom!!!

You're 3 random facts make me nervous...

Are you okay???

Keep breathing while you ponder...

Thanks, Tana, that is comforting... my knees and feet already hurt and I really worry what might happen to them if things keep going at this pace. It's so hard to get around the damn societal pressure to be thin (something I've never been) even while pregnant! Death to the Beauty Myth!

Thanks for posting the Lord of the Peeps too! My husband will appreciate that.

Gwensmom, I second bluecrayon. Hope you're okay. Maybe you need a peep?
