Three random facts:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the lip swelling thing seems to have gone away as mysteriously as it appeared... bizarre...

2 after a week of being quite socially busy, it's strange not having concrete plans today... (there is a possibility of going to a movie, but not sure)

3 chicken stir fry for lunch... made it for my sister a few days ago, but she hasn't had time to stop and eat it, so i'm going to eat it before it goes off.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is day 2 of 10 of my surveying class.

2. I know that I will say the big "I love you" before the Boy does.

3. I'm good with that.

[gwensmom]

I am very disappointed that there is not good news about Gruff today.

I found two more Japanese maple seedlings in my backyard today and put them into pots before Gwensdad mows over them.

I am trying not to laugh about the rabbit cage incident. Lilac you need a day off. Can you take one?

[bluecrayon]

oh, spyware! Spyware really fucked my computer up -- be careful!

I had to purge my hard drive and basically start over...

I have not been able to get it back up to its prior speed or ability.

[Larrissa]

spyware removers will work wonders! problem is, i have no referrals for you, a computer repair shop put ours in. spyware should be illegal, its vandalizing property. bastards

i apologize for any drunken rambling you had to read, i drink maybe 2 times a year at most. made some drunken atcs, and they turned out well!

gotta go update my heaping keeping tracking thread

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i recall a dream last night - dreamt that someone (dunno who) gave me negative feedback because i'd forgotten to send in a contribution to their LMAO...

2 gladly, when i remembered this and checked my feedback today, i was able to reassure myself that that was just a dream...

3 i sure hope i haven't forgotten anyone's LMAO...

[OHPossum]

the TA's are on strike today, so there is almost no one in the library here

I get sleepy when I am not busy.

I said I love you first to just one person. And then I married her.

[chunkymonkey]

1. I made something for my someone today.

2. I mended an emotional fence this week.

3. I ran out of address labels. :'( Anyone want to set up a trade for some?

[kittymao]

Oo, dat gruffie. He really needs to come home- but my mind is racing. What if someone stole him? *worries*

I did some laundry today- today feels like it will be a GOOD productive day.

I want ice cream too.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i am brilliant

2 ok well, i helped decide what dinner will be the next 3 nights

3 tonight is beef/pork stir fry, then spaghetti, and then (frozen) battered fish and home chips

[Cuilanië]

- Ice cream. Icecreamicecreamicecream. Good thing it's too late to go to the store... :P :ph34r: :lol:

- I haven't had dinner yet. Not good. But I'm hungry. That's a good sign. :)

- Tonight I'm going to try and go to bed before three am. Wish me luck. :rolleyes:

[OHPossum]

i have to pee

but i am the only one here

i have to wait until my boss gets back

[Dalmaney]

1. I am almost done packing. Most of the rest needs to wait until I am actually leaving.

2. I am done school for today, which makes me very happy.

3. I am picking up my car in four hours, which also makes me happy.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i was just looking up recipes for sweet and sour stir fry sauces...

2 i found some ideas, and i think i'll use some of them and mix and match ingredients...

3 i'm getting hungry!

[nymphette]

1: i can't stand using this computer with this crap on it!!!!!!!! i keep getting pop ups and new browsers and just plain weird stuff happening!!! wah!!!

2: chris should fix it because i can't.. he's the computer guru, it's his job...

3: kissing boo-boo's, that's mine....

[withoutwings]

1 I'm supposed to be working

2 I'm broke

3 I cleaned my hamster cage yesterday

[bluecrayon]

My computer got so demented eventually that the disc drawer would fly open at odd moments, everything I typed would be in caps, or underlined, or both, or in odd colors. And the whole screen would be filled with porn. And porn sites started showing up on my contact list -- it was truly a mess.

It is hot and I am sitting in my underpants and a tee shirt trying to imagine I am on a beautiful beach drinking rum and cokes and floating on a raft beneath a big umbrella...

Two hours of sleep and only sheer adrenaline pushed me through work --

I miss him. That's not really an extra fact, since that is really a way of life. :(

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm watching Oprah and vowing never to get into credit card debt.

2. I am also thanking my lucky stars for medicare, however crappy it can be sometimes. At least I won't have to pay to have my children born.

3. My house looks empty, and only a few things have left.

[Cuilanië]

- I *gasp!* downloaded about a dozen songs today... :D including a few old Nine Inch Nails songs - it's been a while.

- I still haven't eaten dinner. Now I'm really hungry.

- I worked on that crochet piece for nymphette instead... ^_^

That was my thought. I have a tragic missing pet goat story that I will not tell...

I am going to have some ice cream!

1. I made 503 copies at Kinkos

2. It is too hot to do anything but zone out

3. I hate paying bills and updating Quicken.

Robyn:
spyware removal info (http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/downloadoftheday/story/0%2C24330%2C3387119%2C00.html) (it's free too!)

check this security response out (http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html) this could be the problem too.

[bluecrayon]

and install FIRE WALLS when you have cleaned spyware out!!!

I miss just my paper and pencils sometimes...

computers are too much like dealing with people...

[Cuilanië]

- Well, it's one am... I want to go to bed within the next two hours.

- Current post count, 4040 counting this one...

- I've rescued a bunch of chain games from page 3

[Dalmaney]

1. The Boy is walking out of his last exam right now.

2. All my friend's furniture has moved upstairs to her apartment. I'll miss it.

3. I'll miss mine even more, as it's moving slightly before I am.

[Cuilanië]

- Think I'll log off and go eat something now.

- I might even manage to get up earlier tomorrow and get something done in the morning; the question's been raised whether that's possible...

- I'm seriously losing track of the days of the week.

[medeous]

1. my pop-up blocker has blocked 1066 pop-ups as of right this minute.

2. i lost 2 more pounds.

3. i am going to check my mail now.

[Cuilanië]

- I changed my mind. I got cold leftovers and I'm eating at the computer instead.

- Three cheers for my roommate's high-speed modem, letting me extend my online time this month... :D

- I haven't made spaghetti sauce in over four years. Not enough freezer space.

[bluecrayon]

Okay, I am in stage one of my sleep deprived emotionalism: I am really happy to be spinning like a whirling blue thing through these forums! I am fond of everyone!!!

I am actually doing this while I wait for him to email me over there...

sometimes he gets too busy and can't get to his computer and I wind up racking up a jillion posts here waiting for him...

[Cuilanië]

- Sometimes the massive changes I'm contemplating in my life hit me right between the eyes and bowl me over...

- I'm just spinning around tonight, it's been a long while since I've posted this much...

- I'm getting this feeling of unreality...

i caught the end of that.
hehe
these shows are of no help to me at all
the one couple's "extra" expenses cell phone, satellitye, cigarettes, ect were more than I make in a whole month!!! And since it's american $$ it's almost DOUBLE what I LIVE ON IN ONE MONTH.
I can't fathom $92,000 in debt, I can't fathom having recklessly spent that much money!!
wow.

[bluecrayon]

I'm gonna drive over the bridge and meet Hammerquill this Saturday...

I want to make something metal in his workshop...

I want to see what makes Eve smile! :)

[Cuilanië]

- I have a deeply ingrained aversion to being in debt.

- 92 000 USD is probably more than I made in the last four years.

- That would buy a reasonably-sized house in the town where my mother lives... :blink:

sigh.... that wouldn't even buy a garage here!

there is no upward mobility here, only vertical moves or out of state ones...

the most valuable thing I own is my 35 year old Nikon -- and it is only valuable to me.

[Larrissa]

i get 80% of my stuff for free, it just happens

i suck in the scrabble game with sirius, it must be the force is on her side :lol:

i have issues with starwars for reasons i aint mentioning

[Cuilanië]

- Found this the other day... http://community.the-underdogs.org/smiley/celeb/starwars.gif Thought Sirius might like it.

- I've been told that the site it comes from is 'criminally good'. And called evil for linking to it. :ph34r:

- I remember once thinking Nine Inch Nails a lot stranger than I find it today...

[bluecrayon]

okay, here comes the staying up all day and all night mood crash --

earlier euphoria is fading with the light outside and being replaced with that sadness that reminds me of all my shortcomings...

and I'm taking things too personally...

time to turn off the computer and roll into the wall.

[siafu]

i worked today. it was super overrated. i spit on money. that will make it germier. my job is to do surveys. bah.

i got a call for an interview with a judge. to be her woman friday. i would not spit on the money from that job. i would just learn a lot and be chill.

i have a secret joy. somebody sent me a raok. that was so nice of them. it was a sheet of swanky ant stickers. i am the ant queen, after all.

[nymphette]

1: thanks larrissa for the links... we tried one, let's see what happens now!!!

2: and now i am too tired to chain game tonight... i had planned on spending some time here and catching up!!!

3: who am i trying to kid.. i was going to end up playing mahjong.. :P

But if you get good at it, maybe you can go be a counsellor at that Survey Camp Dalmaney's attending... :lol: <ducks>

I have spend most of the last two days at work doing really minor adjustments to the website, so it doesn't seem like I've gotten that much done.

I need to do the dishes.

In point of fact, I need to do anything but sit here at the computer longer: my back and my wrists are getting very angry with me.

[siafu]

lol. survey camp. that made me laugh.

i went to eve's smiley website and checked it out. i'm all fascinated by the gory ones.

now i am going to go eat junk food.

[Sirius]

i got a mention in to TRF posts in a row. That makes me all warm and fuzzy.

i wish larissa would pass her turn with the v, so i can finish out the scrabble game and do a victory dance. not that i relish victories. i just like to see things completed.

i think i am neglecting mr. sirius...must go find him and give him attention.

[tanagee]

1. I just tried to explain the complexity of the renal system to Megan when trying to explain where pee comes from. She looked like she was listening and understood.

2. I read her Green Eggs and Ham for a bedtime story. Dr Seuss is REALLY hard to read by the light of a nightlight...

3. Goodnight Moon was easy. And once I memorized it, it was even easier. :)

In the great green room there was...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 stir fry last night was sweet and sour (deliberately), and really good

2 ooch my shoulders are tense and achey

3 i think i'll get on with the day soon

Is Gruff found yet? :unsure:

The agency where I work is having an open house Friday and I have to clean up my cubicle today for this event. My cube looks about like my house.

But the house is getting better I swear!

[bluecrayon]

He was on line waiting for me this morning at 545am

that totally surprised me and made me feel less lonely

love is all over the place and not always joyful, but I will take it anyway.

[Larrissa]

why wont that sweet goat go home?!

nymphette, it was actually tanagee who posted the links, only spyware removal i ever had was bought by the man or his dad :)

i have this picasso book (i hate picassos work) and have greatly enjoyed tearing out pages to make art on. have you seen this:
defacing big art (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9463)

Gruff is still missing and I've pretty much resigned myself to expect the worse. :(

My vacuum cleaner broke last night. :yell:

Where the heck is everyone? :blink:

[nymphette]

1: WOOPS!!! :blink: sorry tana!!! thanks for the link.... i'm afraid i just plowed through last night and went off to find that site... and clicking all this crappy pop up madness as i went.... it seems to have helped a bit, but still keep getting some... not sure why that is.....

2: yesterday was 28 degrees outside and i had to put my air conditioning on!!!!!! hot, sunny, and summer weather!!! (as long as you ignore the brown grass and bare, budless trees.... <_< )

3: today it is snowing up a storm..... i had to get up at 6 and turn the heat on because it was freezing in my bedroom!!!!

if you don't like the weather in regina, wait a minute.... :ph34r:

nymphette, holler when you get the dogs from me, okay? (that might be what you want to do, anyway -- :D )

I'm a ball of conflicted emotions

jimi hendrix is the only thing making sense to me right now

I've been writing letters all day except that I didn't actually right them down.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i took a 1/2 hour nap

2 now it's snack time - tea, chocolate bunny from easter, oat biscuit w/ goat cheese

3 dad went out while i was asleep and left me a note which was nice

[siafu]

i need to find my planner. i think that's funny.

heidi took me to a bar when she got home. i think i will have to put my foot down and not go to bars. i hate using those 8 bucks a drink costs on something besides postage. plus, i always feel soooo destitute of social skills at bars.

i made a pizza last night.

1. Oh I have been here, just haven't been posting much because well...I don't know... combination of being busy at work and just feeling kind of sloth-like lately.

2. I think Veronica should set up her own LiveJournal if she doesn't have one already. It might help her sort out her thoughts, and ummm.... I will be able to find out what she is so conflicted about because I'm nosey and curious. :lol:

3. I really should clean at least one room in my house tonight. I say that everyday though, don't I?

I actually have one. I'm not so good at keeping up with it. I feel boring a lot of the time though so who knows what I would write about.

I might be too :ph34r: for livejournal

I think the sloth bug is going around nevrousness.

[kittymao]

Ooya. feeling uber slothy as of late. But I think that has to do with the insane amount of things going on outside of nervousness.

Darnet Gruff. *sighs* The least he could have done was left a note, or a trail, or something.

Gotta wait fer MeiMei so's we can go get our caps and gowns fer graduation! it still hasn't hit me yet.

[siafu]

i'm sure i'm not the only nervouser who's so proud of kitty :thewave:

i bought an ancient coffeepot from ebay. it came today. it looks like a martian.

the garbage company got my check last week, but i got no trash can today. is that fair? :spank: :evil:

[hammerquill]

My father decided to give us both a day off for his birthday.

Nonetheless, I'm at the studio.

I have my own project to work on.

[nymphette]

1: had the kitchen all clean, supper (beef curry with potatoes) in the crockpot, harrion all clean and fresh and jumping in his exersaucer, julian at the table coloring quietly and i thought i could take a quick shower....

2: i came out and grabbed some graham crackers and peanut butter and a glass of milk for julian's snack, and went to grab harrison out to roam free for a bit before his feed and bedtime....

3: julian had colored his face and head with purple marker while i was in the shower... (10 minutes, tops!!!)

i got pictures.... :P i was trying to talk sternly to julian and send him to his room for his nap early and let him know that he isn't allowed to color on anything or anyONE but his books.... but i was cracking up too badly.... :rofl:

[siafu]

i have a schedule to keep track of now, so i needed my planner. couldn't find it so i sneezed together a new one. a report cover, some sweet paper, some calendar pages i made in ms word. then i found the old one. LOL i'm not too mad cause i'm all impressed with myself.

julian's purple head made me laugh. he's gonna perk me up all day with that one.

i'm sitting here waiting for my ride. i hate that.

[tanagee]

I have spent 13 of the last 28 days adding up and recording all the expenses for the business and the house to give to the tax guy tonight...

I REEEAAAALLLYYY hope it is what we needed to do and that I didn't waste precious time I could have been here! :P

I HATE it when Megan gets a hold of pens and/ markers...luckily rubbing alcohol takes sharpie off of ceramic tile :)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 julian's purple head... oh... you have to post a picture... *cracks up*

2 wondering what to do with that dumb boy... he did talk to me on msn a few days ago, but we didn't really solve anything or get anywhere... grh...

3 my cat left muddy wet footprints in the bathtub... (he likes to drink any drips or puddles)...

[nymphette]

1: woops!!! julian didn't have a purple head, he colored all over harrison!!! hey, *I* knew what i was talking about....

2: julian has a purple nose and chin though....

3: and i just realized that my water cooler is wonderful *new* shade of purple on the front....

sigh

i should be happy though.. in (close to) four years, this is the first time he's colored on anything other than his books/paper..... <_<

[nymphette]

1: my sister called me today with a surprise... and she forwarded this email to me:

"Subject: 1st Annual Mothers Day BBQ

You are invited!

The guys at the Contact Centre are hosting a BBQ in honour of the ladies
for Mother's Day.

The event is being held next Thursday, May 6th at the back of our building
at 2151 Scarth Street starting at noon.

We will be serving hamburgers, hot-dogs, smokies, non-alcoholic beverages
and various desserts. We are charging $3.00 to cover the costs and anything
we make will be donated to the Harrison Larter Charity. The posters for his
fund-raiser are located throughout the building, if you would like more
information. We will also be accepting donation for this worthy cause at the
BBQ.

Sign up sheets will be located throughout the building and we please ask
that you sign up by Tuesday May 4th so we can ensure we have enough food.
Thanks and we'll see you there."

2: i cried of course...

3: i'm a big freaking baby... a lady at the craft sale bought something for $1 and gave me a 20 and told me to keep it for harrison... her grandson has spina bifida and had a steak night the weekend before... and i cried...

[tanagee]

:wub: :yay: for nymphette!

I am so naughty!

I 'bribe' Megan with things like a bowl of ice cream to get her to take a nap knowing full well she is not going to remember that I promised her ice cream when she wakes up.

Speaking of which...

[Cuilanië]

- the Julian/purple Harrison story cracked me up too :lol:

- I'm chomping Tootsie Rolls... I think I still have 1/4 of the bag left.

- My day was remarkably unproductive.

[Dalmaney]

1. I start moving in half an hour.

2. My hands were so cold they hurt this morning at survey camp.

3. I am going to be living without furniture for a couple days. Good thing I have my computer on the floor.

[Curlita]

When my sister and I were little we colored our Siamese cat with marker pens. She was beautiful shades of blue and aqua and red. I seem to remember that we did this while mom was on the phone.

At various points in time, while mom was on the phone, we also unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper into the tub and put the cat into the tub.

Then there was the time we tore up an entire loaf of white bread and threw it around the kitchen pretending it was snowing. Mom was asleep then.

Bonus moral: mothers should never shower, sleep, or talk on the phone. :wacko:

[bluecrayon]

"something" needs to be looked at beneath my right breast...

sighing I am through all these pokes and prods and needle sticks...

I just float out the window in my head and look at the universe.

[bluecrayon]

all of which is true enough, but...

I am feeling all this calmness shooting around my heart

I am not really apprehensive, only tired of not knowing anything...

and I am sliding into him and feeling nothing but wonder...

[medeous]

cb: :hug:

my sister and i drank food coloring before mass one day...our priest didn't seem fazed at all by our blue and green tongues at communion.

i cut through the phone cord with scissors while my mom was talking on the phone.

i absent-mindedly cut my thigh with scissors while talking on the phone...it left a V shaped scar.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 more big hugs for bluecrayon

2 the dumbass boy's msn name tonight is odd... he changed it to "ok... ok... let's stop arguing, just blame me"... course, i don't know if it refers to us, or what tone it is meant in...

3 oh homer.... so funny...

[Sirius]

I made coffee-filter butterflies and played e-scrabble with my coworker today. That about somes up my work day. It went really fast.

I have my mother hooked on e-scrabble.

Once again, I am not drinking enough water.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 am going to go to bed very soon

2 trying to write an email to the boy

3 grh... just don't feel like it's going to do any good, even though avoiding and/or ignoring aren't any better

[Dalmaney]

1. All my big furniture now resides at the new house.

2. I am exhausted and can go to bed now.

3. Tomorrow is another day of surveying. *sigh*

[hammerquill]

On my day off I worked much longer than usual.

I doubt I'll be satisfied with the design.

It's going to take a lot more long, slow, boring work to find out.

I'm tired.

[bluecrayon]

After my latest excursion to the doctor's office, I just wandered around the city for a few hours...

I looked in windows and I looked at people...


I felt like a tourist in a country I don't understand.

3: and the cheese monkey book!!!! hurrah!!!!

[Sirius]

people seem to be using their keeping track threads. they are dominating the most recent posts. while i think that is a good thing, they are not all that thrilling to read.

i want the perfect bookmark.

i have homework i am avoiding. okay, it isn't due for two weeks, but i wanted to get it done tonight...

[hammerquill]

I want to know what Sirius would consider the perfect bookmark.

I sorta collect bookmarks.

I love my books.

Corollary to the third fact: I HATE silverfish.

i got pictures.... :P i was trying to talk sternly to julian and send him to his room for his nap early and let him know that he isn't allowed to color on anything or anyONE but his books.... but i was cracking up too badly.... :rofl:
I don't know what got my parents distracted long enough for this, but whatever it was gave me time to go find a hammer, take it out to our bus (long story) and begin breaking the glass of the door window.

I told my mother I was softening it.

She was barely able to keep a straight face sending me to my room.

I don't think the glass was ever fixed or replaced.

[bluecrayon]

Does anyone LOVE silverfish?

Dogs safe with Nympette finally! :)

I'm going to try to crawl to the sleep spot before I think better of it.

[Sirius]

sirius hasn't discovered the perfect bookmark, thus she is unaware of what it is...she'll know it when she sees it...

i think i have about 20 bookmarks...

brian picked on me the other day, indicating we must be doing okay financially, since I was using cash to mark my place in my book... (it was handy)

Ooh. Can I borrow your books when you're done reading them? ;)

That reminds me of a scene in the book Henderson the Rain King - the only scene from that book that made an impression on me. The narrator's father, a rich man, had made a habit of using cash as bookmarks, and after his death, the son locked himself in the library and opened the books one after another, raining currency onto the floor.

This is, curiously, the second time that story has come to mind lately.

I think The Quest for the Perfect Bookmark would make a good LMAO.

[nymphette]

1: because i am pretty happy with this spread (altered book) i wanted to show it off... :D it's my first and i am proud of the way it turned out....
http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/robyn987/altered_book_mayflower.jpg
2: i have a lot of mailing to do in the next couple of weeks!!! :o

3: i <shudder> hate silverfish too... and sow bugs.... and centipedes and millipedes... and ugh! spiders!!!! :eek:

*edited to make it smaller... sigh.. they're always ginormous!!!

[bluecrayon]

beautiful, Robyn! :)

glad I stuck around a little longer...

Does anyone still use decrepit to describe anything??? It's a fact that I am asking that question...

[siafu]

that is beautiful, nymphette.

the blinds in the study sway when the front door is opened.

webbank wrote me a letter.

[nymphette]

1: thanks guys!!!! i had a lot of fun but now am regretting it... becuse i don't need to be addicted to anything else!!!!!!! :o ah well...

2: my sister and i want to make an altered book for my mom for christmas.... any ideas for themes??? she's 51... a widow... likes victorian stuff, but we did an altered calendar with a vic. theme last christmas....

3: thirsty... very thirsty!!!!

[hammerquill]

I have a lot of correspondence to catch up on, most of it with faceless institutions.

National Geographic sent me a free world map today (to get me to subscribe), the first I've owned with Macedonia and the Democratic Republic of Congo on it.

I'll be curious, when I install my new virus checker after several months without one, to see if it finds anything interesting on my computer; I'm careful enough I doubt it'll find viruses, but the modern spywares and such...

[tanagee]

I liked the t-shirt Trish was wearing on The Bachelor.
"Gold Digger
Like a Hooker...Only Smarter."

I wouldn't mind being overweight if I looked like the girls in the Lane Bryant adds...instead I look like a fleshy Michelin Man (TMI)

I asked my Hubby if he could stop getting stoned until I get knocked up again...he said he is 'trying', but things are 'really rough right now'. Glad to hear that I and his future child are important... :angry:

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

tanagee.... i can understand, it does wonders for anxiety and depression....not that i would know anything about it..... but then again yeah, low sperm count can be a result. Course if he stops you might get knocked up a whole lot faster and he wouldn't have to stop long as a result.

also stress on either partner can greatly reduce the chances of conception, then the more you try the harder it gets.... especially if it's all about babies and not about getting down, y'know? I think Dr.phil said something about that to someone once..... (quoting dr.phil only because people seem to trust him).

third fact
i hate it when people can see my armpits

[kittymao]

the lady just above me sent me a fabulous painting, and I am extremely grateful!

I need to go to bed. It's late.

Tomorrow I may be too busy for my own good.

[ninni]

1) I am getting over another one of my 48 hr. migraine headaches. Ouch.

2) I love wild strawberries ("fraises des bois"). I have some in my garden and I am waiting for the lil' suckers to ripen! These little plants multiply like nobody's business, which I didn't know until I planted one last summer.

3) If I could learn a 3rd language, I'd like to learn Japanese.

[Cuilanië]

- I had another really strange dream just before I woke up. Among other things, a meteorite damn near fell on my head in the middle of an outdoor party; now that I think of it though, I think it was a fake... :wacko:

- One week until my first divorce hearing. I wonder if the judge can be talked into using the simplified procedure, which is supposed to come into effect this summer... But I don't really think so. Sigh.

- Silverfish... Kill them on sight. :evil:

[bluecrayon]

Grappling this morning with him telling me he is spending too much time with me

he lives in another state!

his deadlines make him irrational, I think.

(and we do stay up too late sometimes talking on the phone -- sigh)

where is the rule book, darn it!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i need to go out today... bank and post office especially

2 once again it's thursday... in addition to the bathrooms, i'm going to try and finish cleaning my room, a task which i started last night on a whim...

3 it's funny how it goes like that... my room's needed cleaning for a couple of weeks or more... and i've looked at it daily, going, 'nah, i don't wanna deal with it'... then last night, i changed to 'right, must get on with it', just like that...

[Cuilanië]

- When the urge to clean my room seizes me, it's usually late at night...

- It needs to seize me sometime soon. Too much dust in here.

- I wish someone would invent one o'them nifty instantaneous transporters and be done with it...

Yes, I do. I am becoming more and more decrepit all the time despite increasing the time I spend exercizing and stretching.

Bluecrayon and Pantiesontherod are on my mind these days. :wub:

Robyn is good at altered books!

[Lilac]

GRUFF IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found him gnawing grass in the backyard this morning, looking as if nothing in the world had ever happened!

I'm joyous, ecstatic, jubilant...all over an old goat!!!

[sarahkate]

1. I really like Robyn's altered book pages too!

2. I came home from work last night to find out that my dog chewed one of my boyfriend's razors into pieces!! It had four blades and she bent each one. I am so relieved that she didn't swallow them. You can read the full story & see pics of the mangled razor and the devil dog herself here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/absurdsarahkate/7953.html).

3. I have applesauce and 2 pieces of italian bread with butter for breakfast. I think I'm going to eat it now.

- :thewave: for Gruff! kittymao was right - he must've been off to find a girl... ;)

- Whoa SK - that dog is lucky!!!

- I should be job-hunting... but I'm having my first coffee of the day, and I left it too long. The migraine beat me to it.

[Lilac]

That was a close call with Delila, SarahKate! Were you just flipping out, or what!!!!

My dogs tend to chew the strangest things, too...but never a package of razor blades! Yikes!

*By the way...she's adorable! (Delilah, that is!)

[gwensmom]

YAY for Gruff being back! I hope you scolded him for causing you so much worry.

Sarahkate's dog is scary looking :o .

Cherriesrockmysox has some really cute dogs. You can see them in this thread. (http://nervousness.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9450&st=0)

[Dalmaney]

1. I am going to drive to school today because I can.

2. I am generally much more environmentally conscious and will make up for it by biking lots over the next few weeks.

3. I am just a little in love with the new car right now.

[bluecrayon]

aw, nini and Eve -- I am suffering through these migraine mornings with you. I hope both of you feel better soon...

I am lacing up my highttops and reluctantly getting ready to ride off to school...

but my classroom is the one place I feel on top of myself and all these loose ends disappear...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 glad Gruff is back!!

2 there is DEFINITIVE life of the correct nature in the carrot patch :)

3 the day is calling me

1. Hehehe...maybe Lilac will soon have a whole family of goats!! :D

2. Yeah, Delilah is one lucky girl! Cory & I are such bad doggy parents for leaving things out that she could get into but they were on a table in a place that she normally doesn't bother, so you never can tell what she might get into and when. Usually she just likes to eat socks. I would have never forgiven myself if she did get seriously hurt so I was so relieved to see that there weren't any cuts in her mouth, I don't know how she managed that!

Sarahkate's dog is scary looking

3. :lol: She really does look evil in that pic for some reason. Here (http://img61.photobucket.com/albums/v187/sarahkate91580/?action=view&current=babyD.jpg) is a pic of her when she was a cute innocent looking little puppy. Actually, when she was a puppy she WAS scary. She used to bite me all of the time, but now that she is all grown up she is mellow.

[littlest-bee]

How cute is Delilah! I want one!

I just went for a run in the rain, much fun!

Now I'm headed for the bath!

Hey, at least he can start up again once you're knocked up! He doesn't have to quit for the whole frippin' nine months (plus time spent breast-feeding)

Ever tried painting a kitchen for an entire week w/o pot???

THRILLED to hear that Gruff is back! Don't you wish they could talk and tell you about their adventures?

[Cuilanië]

- The migraine is under control. At least now it won't get any worse...

- I've proven conclusively and definitively to myself that I'm one big overgrown kid. I've just downloaded the opening credits of one of my favourite morning cartoons... and I'm getting a huge kick out of it. :lol: :D

- Here's the site, if anyone's interested... Les Mystérieuses Cités d'Or (http://www.citesdor.com/index.php3) My fellow Canadians might remember this...

[bluecrayon]

under the radar -- at work, but not working -- well, I'm sort of working -- kids are taking tests and I am suffering for them

I am feeling those loops around myself...

but I keep thinking about that carrot patch! :)

[Larrissa]

gruffie, i woke up late, but we are still gonna have a little talk about you causing lilac so much stress!! glad youre home you silly goat :D

im worried about people i have never met and i dont know how to help ( :hug: ??) i would give real hugs if i could

i must know how many birds bluecrayon has on her list!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i thought i'd planted 3 rows of carrots, but apparently, i planted 4...

2 they take a couple of months to grow, then anyone who wants some should come get 'em!

3 maybe i'll start a pot of tomatoes today... question is, once i move them to the garden, where do i put them...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 robyn's altered pages are lovely

2 i need to wash my hair

3 i'm hungry, because i haven't had anything but coffee yet today, but as it's 20 minutes to 12, i'm just going to wash my hair, then have lunch.

[siafu]

i have the interview with a judge this morning to be her assistant.

i'm nervous! i've gone to a passel of these state court interviews. but perhaps this one is the gateway to a new future.

i'm going to be like sarahkate and eat applesauce. mostly cause it won't give me bad breath and it won''t give me a sore stomach.

[siafu]

these pants look stupid as the beast in beauty and the beast says.

i don't have my lip gloss.

i do have my answers to the essay questions.

[Larrissa]

that little barf icon makes me feel sick!

acrylic paint wont stick to my bare fingernail but sticks when i have nail polish on

havent eaten yet, no coffee either, addicted to both :lol:

[chunkymonkey]

oh what a beautiful day

I'm wearing shoes in the house which almost never happens

I broke a glass :o

[tanagee]

:yay: Gruff is back!

:eek: Delilah!

:crossed: wishing siafu luck!

:hug: for all the migraine sufferers!

I am mostly upset about the whole pot thing because when we met I smoked a pack of Marlboro Red's a day, he told me he wouldn't be with someone who smoked. I liked him enough and had enough confidence that he was 'the one' that I quit for him and have not had a cigarette at all in 3 years.

In that 4 years between meeting and that final cigarette; I tapered off, then quit cold turkey, would relapse and buy a pack, and have a cigarette of two when out with friends who smoked.

He says pot is not as bad as cigarettes, but I read 1 joint is equal to 1 pack of cigs in terms of tar.

[chunkymonkey]

tanagee has me wondering who smokes

I smoke about 3 cigs a month for my own enjoyment.

Aside from those 3 I have a bad habbit of lighting up if I'm in a crowd of smokers. That doesn't happen often though.

I don't carry a pack with me.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 it is beautiful outside, so in a few minutes, i'm going to spend some time out there

2 i play too much solitaire

3 i keep misplacing the remote

[Larrissa]

never smoked a cigarette

cucumbers and iced espresso for breakfast

flowers from a backyard bush are in a vase and smelling up the whole house, in a good way

[siafu]

now my small bus is running late.

i can't be late to go see the judge.

i think i will call trimet.

[sarahkate]

1. I have never smoked. I grew up inhaling my mom's second hand smoke and that was enough to turn me off to cigarettes forever.

2. Besides the health reasons and stink factor I will also never smoke because I am afraid of fire! I can't light a match to save my life and I'm not much better with lighters.

3. Good luck with your interview siafu! :)

[siafu]

i'm afraid of fire too.

dispatch says i should get there before 11.

ok, i'm going to pretend i'm a fruit, palpable and mute, now.

[Lilac]

I was a "social smoker" for about five years...there were certain people who just "triggered" that urge. However, i havent touched a cig in years and have no desire to do so. The smell alone makes me naseous. In fact, I didnt even like it when I was doing it. How's that for peer pressure?

It is a stinking, broiling steam pit in the office today. I'd swear I was in Hades!!!

I've unbottoned the top of my trousers because I ate too much for lunch. I'm such a pig!

***GOOD LUCK SIAFU*****

hurrah for gruff!!!! it's spring.. maybe he was getting himself some... somewhere else... ha ha... ;)

1: soup's on....

2: julian wanted hamburger soup..... :rolleyes: so hamburger soup it is... at least he picked lots of veggies....

3: i'll have a pita with hummous i think.....

[medeous]

1. i've never been a smoker
2. i've never tried pot
3. i've never really had the desire to experiment with drugs or alcohol

[Lilac]

I had pita and hummus the other day! yummm!

Larrissa's new avatar looks like a fluffy white sheep out of the corner of my eye!

I need to go and get some stuff done...but I can't (I'm glued to N'nessssssssss)

[nymphette]

1: i do not smoke and never have....

2: i do, however, have two dead grandparents and a dead step father because they chose to....

3: but it IS a choice... go ahead and make yours... :P

[Curlita]

I smoked when I was a surly teen and early 20-something, although never very much. Now I have asthma and wonder if it was because both my parents smoked while I was growing up.

I quit smoking at 25 because I just started to find it disgusting. However, sometimes if I'm watching a movie or TV show where everyone is smoking, I feel the urge for a cigarette.

Pot is a lot worse for your lungs than cigarette smoke, although it doesn't have nicotine and is less addictive. Most people don't smoke pot at the same rate as cigarettes, though.

[nymphette]

things i am excited about today:

1: gruff is back

2: baby making next week (not me) :P

3: reading the cheese monkey book

oh, and hummous and pita... good thing i made a whole batch or it'd've been gone two days ago!!! :D

2: i hung around with people 'like that'... :P

3: i get to go visit them next week.... :D they are all great people, but i dont' understand how someone can still be hanging out at bars, drinking etc, when they are 40+ !!!

2 i'm supposed to call someone and can't find her #

3 my sister just walked in

[Larrissa]

i must know why cant anyone spell my name?! :lol:

one cat outside with the baby bird, one cat indoor and yelling to be included in the bird situation

flood control can suck my booty

[Lilac]

Larrissa, put the bird back out and bring the cats in. It's parents will take care of it!

Go ahead.

I'm not in a fit state of organization and general together-ness to start an LMAO right now.

If I were, I would be beginning the second metal ATC jam.

I have made a couple of metal bookmarks; they're beautiful, but I'm worried that even sprayed with Varathane they may be bad for books.

Edited to add: Yaay for Gruff! Had us worried. You gonna post pictures now he's back?

[Larrissa]

pictures of gruffie sound excellent!!

i am sorry to say but the bird situation was handed over to nature :'(

between the activities of my day i come here to check on things. remember a warning from somewhere when i first joined about his being addictive, i didnt believe it

[Lilac]

I'll have to take some pics of of Gruffie! I know I have some old ones around here somewhere, but it'd take me forever to find them. I'll just take more!
Stay tuned........

Poor baby bird. :(

Have fun bluecrayon and hammerquill!

[Larrissa]

the baby was so very tiny it was without feathers, im sorry!

i told the maytag company my cat died because of the washer, ridiculous letters for dunglas's zine

sometimes i surprise myself by what i do without thinking i can

[OHPossum]

i am so busy but am getting nothing done

i am addicted to little dark chocolate disks from the european bakery

the caffeiene withdrawl is horrible

[Cuilanië]

- Oog, caffeine withdrawal. :hug: All in a good cause...

- The second floor neighbour's having computer trouble...

- I know this because his bf just knocked, asking for help...

[siafu]

it is great that gruffie the goat grazes green grass growing gaily near his gracious Girl's garage.

i am back from the interview. it was so soft, like, hi, lovely to meet you.

i convinced my ride to drive through burger king. :lol:

thanks, everyone, for the good lucks. they made me happy.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my sister, dad and i went for a walk down the marsh(/conservation area very near my house)

2 this was after my sister and i went to the bank, post office, and tim hortons (yay ice caps!!! and donuts... and everything bagels...)

3 we just got in from the walk, and my sister brought me orange juice, and said 'you have to drink'... yesh ma'am.

[OHPossum]

had a meeting with a coworker who is sort of my de facto boss since my boss is always traveling

it went pretty well

she is just WAY high strung and I feel like an underachiever

(YAY for Gruffie, I want to see a picture!)

[Cuilanië]

- I'm very glad your interview went well, siafu! :D Hope you get the job!

- Turns out the second floor guy knew more about his computer problem than me... his bf is strange sometimes. Seems he came upstairs to fetch me on his own initiative.

- Now I have some advice for fixing my missing memory problem on my own computer... :)

i'm burning a vanilla candle in front of my computer.

it smells very delicious and yummy.

but i must not try to taste it for it is too hot and waxy for my liking.

[Larrissa]

:yay: for happiness!!

in an upswing caused by nice mail

grinning when alone is just awesome

[freckledcutie]

I'm so sick and miserable

I just had a sneezing frenzy and I peed in my pants

ahhh, the joys of being a mother and having a sneezing fit do such things...ugh!

[nymphette]

1: hugs for freckledcutie!!! don't you HATE it when that happens.... <_<

2: harrison broke out in hives a half hour ago... he started crying and when i went in to reposition him, his face was red with white hive-y welts and his right eye is so swollen that it looks like he has a grape stuffed in his lower eyelid... :( wah!!!!!!!!! :'(

3: we started him on milk with his cyclinex1 and product 80056 on monday... instead of baby formula.... <sigh> i guess he's allergic to milk then... :(

[tanagee]

http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_15_11.gif poor Harrison!!

It's funny, when I was a teenager and early 20's I had contempt for smokers. Then one night while out drinking I bummed a smoke off of someone and felt all my stress melt away, so I bought a pack...then another until I was buying them by the carton.

My mom had no idea I smoked until recently.
a) She still believed "I hung out with Jason and he was smoking" as to why I smelled of smoke.
b ) I didn't live at home so that was why she didn't know.

I used to go out drinking 5 days out of the week so I think that contributed to my pack-a-day habit too.

[bluecrayon]

aqua

periwinkle


just plain blue.

[OHPossum]

i am home from work inhaling dried mangoes and corn chips and a glass of milk

not all at once, but i am that kind of hungry

i am not excited about having to go to the gym tonight

[nymphette]

1: i was eating fresh mango... mmmmmmmmmm... and pineapple and strawberries...

2: with cracked black pepper on it... my sister thinks i am a nutcase...

3: i think i am too, but not because i like pepper on my fruit..... :wacko:

[nymphette]

1: i cancelled my plans to go to qu'appelle and had my mom pull kaitlyn from school for tomorrow... which was the original plan, but i told mom i'd pack up my life and stay there so she wouldn't miss...

2: it's hell to stay ANYWHERE overnight with harrison.... (gwensmom you know what i mean!!!!) i can take all his stuff with me (and forget something usually) but it is NOT the same....

3: i am SO not dealing with an itchy, lumpy baby at someone else's place... esp. at my mom's- julian thinks he runs the show there, because he DOES when he's with my mom.... yep, you mom's out there with the 'i'm the grandma/pa, i'll spoil e'm if i want to ' type of parents or inlaws know what i mean......

[Lilac]

Poor little Harrison! I hope he feels well soon! I know what it's like to have an itchy, lumpy baby...and I feel bad that Nymphette has to deal with that at her Mom's house!

More hugs for Freckled cutie!! Get better, you!

Glad to see Culainie deleriously happy!

[freckledcutie]

hugs for harrison, too

when's the sale?

I hope that my stuff brings you some money

man will be home soon to commandeer the computer for video game purposes

i havent eaten much today

i bought an address book for all these nervous folks addresses, it was 16.00 !! but because of the really cool binding technique and the old asian art, it was worth it

went to the gym

it sucked

all i want to do is go to bed with my dogs and my girl

[Cuilanië]

- Still cranking up the post count... I'm not sleepy.

- I'm sliding into that bubbly overdrive I get sometimes... ^_^

- It's raining hard out there...

[medeous]

spent way too much at the bookstore,

there are no cute clothes in any store in this city.

had a 3-way phone conversation with daughter and her best friend...who, for some odd reason, thinks it's hilarious to call me betty.

okay -- take away the dogs and the girl, put him in the bed and I'm there.

I'm sighing through a balmy beautiful night with couples everywhere...

I am wondering what is going on inside me...

[Lilac]

I hate men.

I hate men.

I hate men.

[medeous]

there was a mean lady at the post office today.
she made me feel bad for almost 30 minutes!
she didn't like the way my envelopes were folded and she wouldn't even take one because she said it was weak.

[bluecrayon]

I love men on paper

I love love in general

I love him beyond myself

I hate the compromising I do to stay there...

[Cuilanië]

Whoa, Lilac... Take a deep breath! :hug:


- I'm listening to music I want to dance to...

- Sighing for that beautiful, balmy night...

- I've been sitting on this chair too much.

[medeous]

if she hadn't been so mean about it, i wouldn't have minded her telling me how they preferred the mail to be prepared.

if james (the friendly mail guy) isn't there next time, i'm gonna keep my mail 'til he gets back.

on a more positive note, i like my boobs.

:lol: I like mine, too.

medeous always makes me smile.

Lilac, what's up with you????

[Lilac]

I've been "kind of" dating this guy for about 8 months...he's very nice...but I'm just afraid to let it go any further. He called tonight and we got into a huge fight because of this. I feel...I don't know...confused, I guess would be the perfect word. I think that maybe I shouldnt have let it get as far as it has because I do not want to commit to anything right now. And he does. I'm sad, I'm angry (at myself as well as him)...

I feel he is just NOT the right one and I should have let go of him a LONG time ago.

And I like be independent. (but is this only an excuse I make up to prevent myself from becoming too intimate with someone else????)

1 ditto that (at times at least)

2 i sent him an email

3 i don't know what that will do for the issues between us, if anything

[bluecrayon]

yeah, you might hate THAT man,..

but MY man is not in that group you hate!

and there is a fine line between hate and love anyway! :D

[Cuilanië]

- Fyi, mine isn't either... ;)

- The internet connection just crashed. Sound familiar?

- Wheee, will you look at that... it's dawn!

[Cuilanië]

- Minutes are stretching...

- My brain is melting down...

- Good night!

[siafu]

my job is pretty suck. i got corrected because i didn't ask one dude i was talking to what he meant by 'respect for the trees'. sorry, uh, i thought i knew what he meant. <_<

:'(

:ph34r:

i think i should go play with my ant stickers.

I know how he feels. I had a huge bowl of shrimp for dinner...probably a pound and a half. I now feel :ill:

I have to go traumatize my kid tomorrow...She has her 2 year old physical and has to get the Hepatitis C vaccine they now require for all 2 year-olds in Calif.

I have a bug bite on my foot that is constantly being irritated by my thongs.

[Larrissa]

the y chromosome is quite a bit smaller than the x. maybe this makes men less in general

that cat looks sweet!

damn nasty photos. damn iraq war. damn president. damn humans. i hope we get wiped out before taking our nasty off the planet

[OHPossum]

there appears to be some anger around here

i am sure if i wait long enough i'll be angry too

there ya go-- i am angry that i have to give up my morning coffee ritual


(I really am thinking hard about this whole hate men thing-- the solution to your problems is so obvious :D ;)

[Jennyblue]

I just poured a bag of m&ms into my coffee. I need serious help.

Work starts in 9 minutes.

My lipstick feels all rough like sandpaper. I think the coffee messed it up. plus the m&ms,

[bluecrayon]

What might be hated is the reality that we cannot find ourselves in those we love...

That we run up against a concrete wall sometimes and cannot get through...

That we are just not the one for that particular man... (or woman)


I don't hate men.

I just hate sadness and wish I didn't have needs sometimes.

[thekilltoy]

I've officially been up for 24 hours... wheee!

Breakfast sounds good right now....

Sleep can wait......

[chunkymonkey]

I just hate sadness and wish I didn't have needs sometimes.

oy! me too.

Fishing for opinion is getting tiring.

Percentage wise how much disappointment should I eat? I can't have what I want all the time, I know this. I feel like I've reached my quota for the month on pointing out things I don't like and now I wished I had been less eager to complain because now I really need to say, "hang on a sec."

current mood- unbalanced

you should eat NO disappointment in a just world...

but sometimes we have to eat alot to maintain the status quo..

current mood for me: detached.

[chunkymonkey]

3 i've been thinking alot about getting highlights in my hair

[Larrissa]

arrrgghh the motherinlaw is damn near impossible for me to deal with in a normal tone of voice quite often :yell:

sleep deprived, spent till 4:30 talking to thekilltoy ^_^

it baffles me to no end how lack of sleep causes hallucinations :lol:

[zanna]

1: my niece is overnight here and for the day..... she talks a lot.. i am glad i have boys....

2: she informed me that my mom taught her to do laundry... and she 'misunderstood' and put detergent in the dryer..... <_<

3: yes, she turned it on and ran it and my mom found out the hard way.... :o

1: apparently, aviator style sunglasses, a la TOP GUN, are coming back into style.... <_<

2: i want cat's eye sunglasses.... big ones.... they aren't in style... and you cant' find them in this pathetic city, even at a GLASSES convention!!! (chris is an optician, so we go to trade show a time or two a year...)

3: everything this year, again, was tiny TINY tiny... i told the one rep 'i need something this shape (picking up a tiny cat's eye type shape) but bigger...' he picked up something a tiny bit bigger and said 'like this??' i said 'bigger...' and he picked up another one, looked at it dubiously (and *I* think i twas smaller than ther other one.... <_< ) and said 'like this???' and i said "BIGGER"!!... and he said 'is this for halloween robyn???'

i wasn't offended... just because they all think people are cookie cutter clones and should all wear the same thing on their faces, doesn't mean that *I* have a small mind..... i'll keep my eyes out at value village and the sally ann.....

[nymphette]

1: along the same lines of everyone looking the same- i want a perm.... and i asked my all-about-the-hair friend if she knew someone who could do it out of their home for cheaper and she said 'no... dont' get a perm.... don't do it len.... why do you want a perm???' and i said 'because i love curly hair and mine is poker straight and won't hold a curling iron curl for longer than ten minutes.... and i am tired of spending an hour to curl my hair to have it all fall out, every time i want to leave the house....' and she said 'nobody gets perms anymore... ' (<sniff> noseintheair) and i said 'ALL the more reason to GET a perm...'

<sigh>

2: her, and all of her friends from work and the ski club, all have the same hair cut and the same chunky streaks in their hair... <_<

3: i've never fit the mold, or tried to... why start now??? i think i'll go buy myself some acid washed jeans and a def leppard t-shirt.....

[nymphette]

1: i see sarah, and sarahkate, and all my friends... what was that romper room lady's name???? anyone remember that show???

2: where's tom to tell me 'yet again i do not know what you are talking about'... must be a canadian thing....

3: the point behind my last random fact was tht on saturday afternoon, i am getting my hair permed.... it hasn't had any chemicals in it since i bleached it platinum blonde over 2 1/2 years ago, and that was dyed red, let to grow out and has since been chopped off.... all healthy and no color or anything!!!

and then i go and get it permed.... <_< :rolleyes: oh well...

[gwensmom]

When I took Gwen to get her hair cut yesterday all the stylists were saying that people were asking for perms again.

I knew big hair would come back. It seems that current styles are always based on what was popular 20 years ago and the 80's were 20 years ago.

I'm not getting big hair. My rule of fashion is that if you wore it the first time around, you don't have to do it again.


Lilac if you know he is not the one for you then you are doing the right thing.

[nymphette]

1: YAY!!! it's about time the 80's were cool again.... er... cool at all... :P

2: i am admittedly stuck in the 80's... the last of the good music was in the 80's... and i LOVE big hair!!!!! :D

3: my friend jarrod used to call my wild curly hair 'the salad'..... :)

[gwensmom]

Robyn I thought you hair WAS curly!

Romper Room came on here too.

The agency I work for is having a radiothon fundraiser with a gospel station today. They are broadcasting live from our parking lot. I had to go on the air :o but I think I did pretty well.

1. I loved Romper Room. It was the best. I remember thinking that Romper Room was in some school in the same city in Massachusetts where I lived. I guess I was too young to grasp the concept of nationally broadcast television. :P

2. I will trade hair with your Robyn! You can have my crazy curls and I will have your pretty straight hair. My hair is getting so long. It's about half way down my back.

3. In 7th or 8th grade this horrible, nasty classmate of mine, Laurie, asked me if I had naturally curly hair or if it was a perm. I told her it was naturally curly and she said "well, you should tell everyone it's a perm instead because that's cooler." :huh:

1: i'd love to trade!!!!

2: :rofl: that is so funny!!! a perm is cool!!!

3: remember when it was cool for the GUYS to get a perm???

course, it was also cool for them to wear pink shirts, skinny leather ties, and mesh shoes....

all at once... :D

2: i'm too chicken to go on the radio for anything!!! i hate my voice!!!

3: that didn't stop me from karaokeing the other weekend.... :rofl:

[OHPossum]

you are all way way too much fun...

all is well in my love life, so I can't complain,

but the fact that I get lonely and blue for my nervous friends makes me a little uncmforatble

[nymphette]

1: it's a fact. the queen of england doesn't know her abc's anymore. she's old.

2: it's a fact. when I was a little girl, if a child was born with red hair, she was considered irreparably evil and drowned as a witch.

3: it's a fact. you can get blood from a stone. you just have to throw it hard enough. it's a fact.

i'm in a kids in the hall kind of mood... :D
3: it's a fact.

[silvertiger]

1. it's snowing right now... this is spring time in colorado :blink:
2. I've been sick for about 2 months now... damn tonsil
3. i have green eyes

[OHPossum]

1. I have blue eyes
2. it is not snowing here
3. tomorrow is May Day

[bluecrayon]

It's a fact that I have blue eyes, too

It's a fact that I am home from school for "lunch", but I am actually not eating...

It's a fact that I am going in for a talk with my doctor today -- and I'm sort of nervous.

[nymphette]

1: good luck with your doctor bluecrayon, and i hope everything is okay!!!!

2: it is snowing here too.... darn saskatchewan weather...

3: i have two more LMAO's ready to go out and just sent one yesterday.. i am being very quick on my turnover rate, and that makes me happy!!! course, this is the first time in months i have DONE ANYTHING other than stuff for the sale... so it's good that we have stuff leftover, because then we dont' have to make more!!! i also sent out a bunch of RAOM's... because i have time to do OTHER stuff mow!!!!

and that makes me happy too....

1. That reminds me of another hair story. My mom is a redhead and when she was born my aunt's (who were about 7 & 8 years old at the time and both had white blonde hair) said she was gross and they wanted to "give her back." My nana would make them take her for a walk in the carriage around the neighborhood but my Aunt Joanne refused to do so unless they covered my mom's head with a bonnet so no one could see her "ugly" red hair. :lol:

2. Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my sister for a mother's day present. I have no clue what to buy.

3. I hope bluecrayon's talk with the doctor goes well. Hopefully she will be able to walk out of the doctor's office breating a sigh of relief.

[picasso]

it's friday and i can't wait to go home

it's friday and i have a stack of stuff on my desk that seems to be getting bigger not smaller (can paperwork procreate??)

I hope so too! :crossed:

Gwen knows what a spoon is for! Yesterday at school they were using big spoons to put dirt over seeds they were planting. When she saw the spoon she started opening her mouth and drooling a little. I had no idea.

The first of my siberian iris bloomed today :yay: It is soooooooo gorgeous. When more of them open I will take a pic an put it in the spring loveliness thread. I just love iris- seeing them makes me all melty inside.

[OHPossum]

yay gwennie!

1-- healthy vibes for bc
2--keep it up vibes for gwen
3--ovulatory vibes for moi! (make it happen MONDAY, comeon little eggie, drop on MOnday!)

[Cuilanië]

- rooting for all my nervous friends who need it!!

- sleep-deprived and beered-up... I need to sleep now not later... :wacko:

- I haven't slept since yesterday morning. I spent the whole morning on the phone... :wub:

[Cuilanië]

- I want to shave my head.

- I want to bleach my hair.

- I want to dye it blue.

How's that for hair issues? :lol: ;)

[zanna]

i'm trying to get all my cd's organized.

it's kind of hard when i have over 400 that i'm trying to get into alphabetical order and make cases/tracklistings for.

i can't decide what i want to eat for dinner.

[OHPossum]

- if I could have anything in the world for dinner, it would be a real New England Clam bake, with fresh corn, lobster, the works

-if I could be doing anything right now it would be napping with teh dogs

-I think I am Homer simpson.

the fax machine is ringing off the hook

it's out of toner

i'm going out of my mind!!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i love my sister

2 i love ice cream

3 i love shopping

[thunderstorm_19]

1 today is rainy and balmy

2 my sister straightened my hair (naturally it's technically straight, but not dead-straight, it kinda waves randomly)

3 i wish it would curl or straighten, entirely, on demand... it's long, and thick and doesn't hold real curl well...

[nymphette]

1: hurrah for gwen!!! i always like to hear about things like that, sarah!!! :) good girl!!! (gwen, not you... well, i am sure you are a good girl too, but.... ;))

2: i just altered an altoid tin... i dont 'know what to do with it now....

3: and i am altering a journal too... it was 3 bucks at michael's- plain and white... perfect!!!

4: when i shop at michael's, i head right to the clearance aisles instead of 'shopping'.... what's the point?- i always end up browsing in the clearance aisles last and putting half my stuff back for the same/similar thing in the clearance aisle!!! :D

[tanagee]

I recieved a box with Chocolates in it from Siafu!! Unfortnately my mail comes at around 11 and they sat on the front lawn in the sun until 3:30 so I now have little smooshy foil packets of Ghiradelli goodness

I put them in the freezer.

Megan had her shot and she is not as traumatized as I thought she would be...and I was wrong it is Hep A not C. She has to get another one in 6 months.

[bluecrayon]

On a day of extremes (how about my garage door crashing off it's frame?) I have sat down to open up a wonderful package from medeous --

and I almost started to cry! A cloth and beaded ATC with plenty of my blue in it titled spinning -- just for me. (sister! you rock)


now, if I could just find enough duct tape to fix my garage door!

[nymphette]

1: hugs for bluecrayon and her broke assed garage... :P duct tape will fix ANYTHING!!! :D

2: this is the type of curl i want.... i hop ethis lady tomorrow can do it with my mop!!!

http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/robyn987/red_hair.jpg

3: i'd like her face, and body too, i'd imagine, but i'll settle for having pretty hair....

fact: if you have chemically straightened your hair DO NOT use thermal irons (curling, straighting, crimping), to do so causes breakage (it'll perma-fry your hair).

fact: the direction of a hair as it projects out of the follicle deterimes a person's hair shape (straight, wavy, curly)

fact: as hair grows out is assumes the shape, size and curve of the follicle.
