How do you like it so far! I've been wanting to read it!

I'm making Peach Crisp today.

Received some beautiful ATCs from idyzyn today for the LearnToMakeATCs exch. I love Nervous mail!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 happy belated birthday to theresa!

2 just quickly checking in again!

3 my hair thing yesterday - sis used a straightening iron (?orwhateverthatthingiscalled?) not chemicals... :) so my hair is back to normal, cuz i took a shower this morning.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i love ikea.

2 i spent $10.30 in there.

3 the thing i'm going out to next is a Clinique (cosmetics) customers' "party" (translation: sales pitch) at sears......

[siafu]

i like clinique...clinique is niiiice. i like mac better though. i like the texture of their lipstick better and i like the eyeshadow/blush dealie. but even though i like mac, i actually buy origins.

thanks everyone for all my birthday wishes! i think today is also part of my birthday celebration ;)

i'm about to be on a yoga kick. whoo!

[Cuilanië]

- My lips get dry real fast and I keep nibbling on the rough edges...

- Consequence of the above, I use a LOT of lip balm.

- I hardly ever wear makeup.

[gwensmom]

Naughty Teresa did not list her birthday on her profile so we did not know! :birthday:

Woo hoo Robyn is getting whole night off! :rock: This is a big freakin' deal, ya'll!

the weather here is nasty for the second weekend in a row and it is so depressing.

[hammerquill]

bluecrayon couldn't make it to the studio today after all :(

But we'll reschedule for sometime later.

For now, I should get back to work on my coffee table.

[bluecrayon]

bluecrayon is a sorry crayon, too, but sometimes life gets in the way big time :(

I hope medeous is okay. I have been thinking about her all day.

I still don't really know why my lymph node is swollen! I only know the things that are NOT causing it... ?????

[thunderstorm_19]

1 that was fun... it wasn't just clinique, but the whole cosmetics and fragrance department, as it turns out...

2 bought clinique face suncreen, and got loads of samples...

3 i smell of a million different things at once right now, as a result of trying everything in sight

i suppose since they were both aquired by estee lauder it doesn't matter...
or does it (that is clinque and mac)

I use clinque only beacuse my mom buys it for me, just concealer and powder. Clinque is better than mac for foundations and powders.... mac's stuff always looks cakey on people...... when you wear mac you look like you are wearing makeup and that isn't the look i go for.

Lipsmackers makes the best lip products.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 bridget jones' diary is on tv (dad's watching it)

2 hugh grant just walked in (in the movie, not in as in in here, unfortunately)

3 i'm tired

well, cool... i didn't know that...

1 my sis likes Mac

2 she gave me some Mac concealer, which i like

3 (yes, 3, not 4) i wonder (ok this is half fact, half question) if anyone here likes the Clinique "Simply" fragrance?

[bluecrayon]

actually, clinique has always been in the lauder clan -- it was Estee's son's company -- her daughter in law named it --

How do I know this??? I used to work behind a clinique counter in Macy's when I was in college...

I can't afford any of it now...

[medeous]

somehow, working behind a cosmetics counter is not something i would've ever pictured blue doing

i watched princess mononoke today and was surprised by some of the violence and slightly annoyed by the overabundance of bass in the mama-wolf-god's voice which made my tv sound weird

i made a gigantosaurus salad today and divided into four portions, one of which i ate

[siafu]

i don't wear foundation, just a bit of powder and then blush and lipstick. that's why i like that the mac blush doubles as eyeshadow. sometimes i get a wild hair and stick it up there too.

i didn't know that clinique and mac were the same peeps. it makes me feel better that clinique and mac are the same co b/c i had been feeling like a traitor to my little clinique. didn't estee lauder die last week also?

i named my doll madison.

oh yes it certainly is!!!! :D you know it sarah!!!

1: i already spent 30 minutes on and off thephone with my mom... :P she had problems getting the feeding pump to work, she kept getting a 'no set' error!!! i re- walked her through the whole thing and she did it all 'right'.... but it still wasn't working!!! :o

2: so i met her halfway between her town (qu'appelle) and mine (CS)... and pulled the pump out of the car and took it out of the carry pack, and looked it over.. i found the problem immediately... :P

3: she had threaded the pump set too far through the pump- part of the 'inside' part was outside, and so it wasn't registering that there was a pump set in it!!! fixed it in 2.0 seconds and had to listen to mom apologizing for being such a dummy.... which she wasn't being, but she got herself going... :D

4: bonus: hopefully now things will be fine!!!i contemplated getting rip-roaring drunk (ha ha) but decided i wanted to relax, get some sleep and feel refreshed tomorrow morning... :)

in theory...

[Lilac]

I took the kayak out on the lake today..I was out for 4 hours just relaxing.

I saw a Bald Eagle dive and catch a fish.

I saw a Water Moccosin (snake)

[nymphette]

1: i have never seen a water moccasin...

2: i have picked up a garter snake to scare the girly dancing girls that i hated when we went to kenosee lake in grade 7's camping trip...

3: it peed on my hand but i didn't care.... it was worth it....

[Lilac]

Hee Hee!!! Scaring sissy girls with snakes was always fun! I think Nymphette and I would have made great childhood buddies!

I have a strange fascination with snakes.

I was bit by a grass snake last summer.

[nymphette]

1: i'd rather be in a room FULL of slithering sliding snakes, than in a room with one spider......

2: i dont' feel bad about teasing hte girly girls.... they teased me about being overweight when i was in grade seven and eight, and then called me anorexic when i lost weight in grade nine.... so they deserved everything they got from me!!! :huh:

3: i'd like a cold drink right now... i have some bols melon in the freezer, and some vanilla stoli... mmmmmmmmm.... vanilla stolichnaya and rootbeer!!!!!

i'll be back.... :P

[nymphette]

1: my rootbeer is yummy

2: i can feel the alcohol already so i think this is the only one for me....

3: i'm pathetic... when chris and i first met (actually, the night i met him) i drank a 6 pack of 8% beer, two bottles of homemade red wine, a 26 of gin, and various assorted jello shooters... a party his roommate was hosting.... and now... well, now i can get tipsy off a couple of highballs.... though i guess it's good to be a cheap drunk when you have no money!!!! :rofl:

[nymphette]

1: quoting lilac: "No, really...um...I remember the popularity contests in school, trying to fit in, trying to be cool...and finally just being myself and ending up with a great group of not-so-popular friends." oh yeah... we would SO have been great friends in high school!!!! :D

2: if i had high school to do over, there are a lot of things i would do differently, but the friends i had would NOT change!!!!

3: the boyfriends, well, yeah, they likely would have.. i'd hope i'd make better choices if i had it to do over!!!

used watercolor crayons on my nails, coated with clear polish

[bluecrayon]

I can hear you all sleeping! :D

[OHPossum]

2- i think i might go back to bed after 2 hours of catching up on nness projects.
3-kathryn will be ready to get up th eminute I snuggle back in.
(4-i hate that!)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i want to see a water moccasin

2 we don't get them here

3 i know i've said it before, but i think snakes are great

[thunderstorm_19]

1 historically, this area had massassauga rattlesnakes. it doesn't now.

2 further north in ontario still gets them.

3 i am going camping in june, and that area is 'around' where their current range begins, though none have been seen within the (provincial) park where i'm going (and have been about 6 times before).

[Cuilanië]

- this page cracked me up... http://graphics.stanford.edu/~lucasp/city.html

- I've had tea, but no breakfast yet. Can you say addicted? I've been here since I got up.

- I think I'm sleeping too much.

[Cuilanië]

- OK, people, y'all need to wake up, now...

- I've been bumping up old forgotten games from pages 7 and 8... :blink:

- Guess it's a sign I should knock it off and go do the dishes... sigh.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh my father drives me ballistic sometimes

2 thank goodness for coffee

3 i can't find my shoes (the particular pair i want)

[Larrissa]

okay so today i have to do stuff. i dont want to.

jackie its your turn in scrabble!

took some pictures for the spring loviness thread, gotta go post em

[bluecrayon]

Kind of spun through the early morning hours after hanging up with him at 2am

Remembering life in NYC when there was always somewhere open at 2am to go hang with the eccentrics and not feel so alone in one's own eccentricities...

I just rode my bike into the dawn and that was lovely, too.

[Cuilanië]

- I've done the dishes.

- I went out for bread early enough to get the one I wanted.

- I've just eaten a deliciously decadent coffee éclair... mmm

[Cuilanië]

- I miss the late-night cafésq in Montréal...

- Now when I can't sleep at three am I hang out here. The late-night crowd in Paris isn't my scene...

- I should go do something else that's useful - laundry, vacuuming... sigh.

[Curlita]

I want to go visit Lilac and paddle with her in her canoe. I get so homesick whenever I read about her outdoor adventures.

I slept for 10 hours last night!

I have a lazy day planned. I am almost done with my very short chore list for the day (which also includes "chores" like "do yoga" and "take a bath").

[thunderstorm_19]

1 ohmigawd i hate spring cleaning

2 i need storage boxes

3 i want chocolate

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i'm "having a break"

2 yes, that break includes a kitkat bar... kitkat dark to be exact

3 my dear sweet practical mother is overwhelming my impractical brain with all this organization and cleaning... my brain hurts

[Larrissa]

OH MY GOD these papers were so exhausting to go through, but im halfway done and delirious from the effort

i dont know what i will do when the motherinlaw isnt there to take rolls of stamps from, it will be rough

sarcasm oh sweet sarcasm. quit torturing me.

[Sirius]

um...my mother gave me my umbilical cord....


what does one do when ones mother gives her such a thing...


am i obligated to keep it?

[Sirius]

TRQ..

am i not supposed to be disgusted by it?

do i have to actually open the box it is in?

why did she give it to me?

[Cuilanië]

Er... umbilical cord? Isn't that a bit... I don't know... gross? :blink: :wacko: Is your mother finally letting go of you? ^_^

- I'm eating French toast. Making it was on my mind lately, but until today I had no bread...

- This stuff needs coffee to go down. Especially with the maple syrup. :lol:

- Coffee at 11pm would be a Bad Idea, I'm afraid...

[bluecrayon]

I might be totally naive, but I am happy curled into the pocket of his life...

and that is enough for me...

sometimes the distance only makes things shimmer more brightly.

[siafu]

you can do various things with the cord.

leaving it in the box is ok.

you could probably just take a picture and throw it away, too.

[Lilac]

My Mother and I went to this garden/craft show this afternoon and I tripped and fell at this vender's booth...dragging most of the poor woman's merchanise off the table and onto the ground. Soooo embarrassing!!!

Then my Mother discovered that my fly was unzipped...and I had bright yellow undies on.

I'm such a damn hick sometimes!

MEN! sheesh...

[Curlita]

My mother saved my baby teeth and sent them to me. It was a little gory.

I saved several of my cats' milk teeth when she lost them...

I just realized why I've been feeling anxious all day! Looking in my pill case and low and behold, I'd forgottent to take my Zoloft.

[gwensmom]

I have all the teeth Gwen has lost so far except one.

That would be the one that we never found

She might have swallowed it :o

[Sirius]

my baby teeth are in with the cord...

i figured the cord was the grosser of the two to bring up...

i'd prefer not to have either...

[bluecrayon]

I studiously avoided the phrennies thing...

3 random facts funniest thread? I doubt it...

I'm grumpy and I'm going to bed... :angry:

[siafu]

i hope you feel better tomorrow, blue.

1. i'm glad you posted this...now i can ask you one of the questions i was going to ask my doctor: are there any possible side effects to taking zoloft while pregnant? at least any that would be worse than NOT taking my zoloft?

2. i save nan's teeth...each one goes in an envelope on which i've drawn i big toothy grin with a red X on the tooth that's fallen out + the date. they're stacked up in the china cabinet with my wedding dishes.

3. i also have her hair from the first haircut and from the BIG haircut last year...i threw away her umbilical cord after keeping it about a month: too gross.

[medeous]

1. i guess i've got the makings of one damn fine voodoo doll, should she prove troublesome in her teen years.

2. last night, i was calling her hajo duchting and she was calling me ivo kranzfelder...the dog was britta benke.

3. i believe the actual people would have been horrified by our mispronunciation and glee in their names...we amuse ourselves.

[bluecrayon]

I have teeth, hair, 1st nail clippings, and enough flotsam and jetsom from my 2 kids to fill a small suitcase...

My daughter's umbilical cord was buried with the sapling I planted when she was born 13 years ago...

I marvel at the soft pure yellow of my son's hair when he was a toddler, it still curls in the baggie...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. uggh mornings

2. i did not drop in on the phrennies last night, i read the threads this morning

3. i bought 2 photo-storage boxes yesterday, and i need more!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i'm starting to get a little more 'happy' about the cleaning up and cleaning out of my room

2 my mom's beginning to think about/plan gran's birthday party

3 i want some dried flowers

[MelangeArtiste]

1. I admit to being curious why this was the funniest thread. It's poetic, like runaway haiku.

2. I slept badly last night.

3. I should not have eaten that donut at Lysa's birthday gathering.

[chunkymonkey]

1. It's raining

2. The email doesn't say what I wish it would say

3. I'm crawling back into bed

[sarahkate]

1. Very happy belated birthday wishes to the wonderful siafu!! :birthday:

2. This weekend I visited a town that I am now in love with. I want to move there and I think I have my boyfriend seriously considering asking his employer if he can transfer to an office that is very close to the town I am in love with. The town is New Paltz, NY.

3. I gave my dog a haircut last night. She had really long, long fur that hung from her bum and her legs, it looked like a skirt. Last year I cut the furs off so that she would be a little bit cooler in the hot weather. Well, I think I got a little too scissor happy and now her bum looks like a big sheep's bum! It's so ridiculous. As I said to Cory, "it looks like I took her pants off." :lol:

[Lilac]

I popped into the phrennies for about 2 minutes last night but was too tired to stay.

I had to get up 4:30 this morning to be at the construction site at 6:00.

Now I'm back at the office and tired as hell!

I don't even know who won the phrennies, except for TRF...I read that as I was going back through this post!

[Sirius]

All that talk about drinking last night was more than I could handle, I actually feel a bit hung-over this morning.

So, don't type too loud please.

We missed siafu's birthday? Eck. Happy Birthday Siafu!

[Joan Nice Girl Rivers]

Thank you for inviting me to share in the red carpet experience of the Phrennies.

I do hope nothing was broken.

If you'd like to invite me back next year, double the pay, and PREMIUM alcohol in the open bar.

[GirlwhoReallyLikesSharksSome]

I was hoping to have the opportunity to accept on GWLS behalf last night....


The GWLS/Ben collaboration of Nymphette's Posse was a winner.

Wondering if someone will post a list of winners

[Sirius]

There are 23 people on NNESS right now. Clearly most of their fingers are broken, as they are not providing me with new material to read.

They should know by now that I will type to myself.

Or, I could do my homework....

[sarahkate]

1. Here is some reading material for the Sirius one ;)

2. And here is some more.

3. And that's a fact.

[Sirius]

These are the lurkers: Sirius, Larrissa, lemur, anxietyelf, sarahkate, gosuumi, girl-who-loves-sharks, namelessgirl, greenchicken, coffeegirl, cherriesrockmysox, mpurr, Brashbroad, PsychoVamp, delphi, Cuilanië, Serenity, yardenxanthe, MelangeArtiste, boizscareme.

They should be encouraged to type if I make crazy eyes at them... :wacko: :blink: :wacko: :blink: :wacko: :blink: :huh:

Think it will work?

[Larrissa]

sorry, i left the computer on while going to the post office...

scary eyes dont scare me!

i dont get hangovers, no matter how much i drink

[Sirius]

i dont get hangovers, no matter how much i drink

Me either, apparently I get them when I talk about drinking, but don't actually drink.

So, how'd the Scrabble game with Wonky and Blue go?

Cdonley beat me in Scrabble.

[MelangeArtiste]

1. I am working on an altered book and only half paying attention to the forums.

2. I am so cold that I'm wearing a sweater and I wrapped an old pashmina over that.

3. Sirius, my fingers aren't broken; they are numb with cold.

[sarahkate]

1. I stay signed onto N'ness all day while I'm at work, but I don't always have my internet browser open to the forums. So it might appear that I am here, but that's not always true. :ph34r: :)

2. I am sad. I was just looking at real estate prices in New Paltz, the town I'm in love with, and I really don't think we could afford to move there. We would have to make almost double what we earn now in order to afford living there.

3. I bought some flip flops yesterday at Target. I didn't like any they had in the women's section so I found a pair in the little girls aisle that fit me and they were only $7.99. Score!

[Sirius]

we have decided to move to bc...... hmmmm where to go that is cheap and has jobs

it's time for some adventure

[Cuilanië]

- I'm lurking...

- My keyboard is not on my desk atm.

- All I have available is the mouse to check in from time to time...

:blink: :ph34r: :wacko:

[MelangeArtiste]

1. 54 degrees and cloudy alternating with light rain.

2. I just cleaned ink off my alphabet stamps, so the window is open to let out the stamp cleaner fumes.

3. Even though I'm not thin, I am seldom as warm as I wish.

[Cuilanië]

- yay for moving to the West Coast!! ;)

- Typing all the way from here is annoying, I can't read what I type as I type it...

- I have a small vial of dark red watercolour ink I really like, and I managed to spill part of it a few minutes ago. <_<

[Cuilanië]

- The above is why I take no chances with my keyboard...

- Besides, it takes up all the space on my desk, so I have to move it anyway.

- Belly cramps today. Ugh.


Back to lurking... :ph34r:

I am only here for a few minutes and then I am off to the doctor once again to get my neck poked for awhile...

Is it okay that I'm grumpy about the phrennies???? :ph34r:

[yardenxanthe]

It's okay w/me that you are grumpy about the Phrennies, bluecrayon

I decided this weekend to shoot a zombie film in a Louisiana Bayou

I have a towel on my head

[Larrissa]

i think its perfectly acceptable to see you angry, i find it interesting

i cant get back the game either, i will assasinate bill gates

got a strange little email from el@elChapeau.tk about a home flood disaster, left a note in their guestbook a while ago.

**haha, you see nothing

[Sirius]

TRQ

should i know why blue is grumpy about the phrennies?

can i eat lunch yet?

can i go home?

[zanna]

today i actually feel excited about my future.

i've had a smile on my face all day because of the conversation we had this morning.

he asked me questions about when i wanted to start our life together ..i love the knowledge that we could be more than we are now! :yay:

[medeous]

i lived through the sixth graders once again.
i have 20 days of school left.
i didn't accomplish anything this weekend, other than reading 4 books.

[Sirius]

i accomplished a whole weekend's worth on saturday.

thus i was not productive sunday.

i think it might be lunch time...

I think Sirius loses too...hey, but atleast it's a dry heat :) (I hate when people say that)

[picasso]

i don't care about the weather

in the midwest you can just tell the weather by the clouds

i just ate a big ol' thing full of fried food. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm fried food. (says homer simpson)

[Sirius]

the weather effects me too much not to care about it....

but i will admit it isn't the most exciting topic of conversation...

i am working 10 hours today....

[tanagee]

I tried to find somewhere that was hotter so me and Sirius could say "At least I'm not there" but, sadly I couldn't...not even in AFRICA. :(

Having no A/C in my car I am greatly influenced by the weather.

It sucks being broke.

[Larrissa]

work? i forgot what that is ... i will have to relearn it though once i move

silverfish are so gross. they have decided to invade the mess im working on in the garage

cats brought in two birds today, a sparrow and a defeathered white wing dove. little assholes.

[Lilac]

I'm glad I'm not where Sirius and Tanagee are! Intense heat is not my thing.

This is what the weather condition is like where I'm at right now:

Reported from Pittsburgh 05/03/2004 2:51 PM EDT
Temperature: 50°F 10°C
Conditions: Cloudy
Winds: NW 10 MPH NW 16 KPH
Relative Humidity: 52%
Barometer: 30.04 Falling
Visibility: 10.00 Miles 16.09 Kilometers
Feels Like: 46°F n/a


Lilac sticks her tongue out at Sirius and Tanagee and is happy to be living in a colder climate! :P :D

[Sirius]

i've never had to shovel snow, or worry about hurricanes, or tornados, or earth quakes, or blizzards...in other words, the heat is fine with me....

and, while i am complaining about the fact that it is 90 some degrees here, it is really 73 degrees...because i am in the air conditioning...and the ac, fortunately works well in my office, my car, and my house....

i am getting stuff done....

[bluecrayon]

third visit to the head and neck clinic about my lymph node in 2 weeks -- I like my doctor, but I feel like he and I are almost dating now...

I am listening to Whipping Post really loud and feeling my white trash heritage coming out...

I am waiting, like always, for him to email me back.... I could probably finish graduate school around all the time I wait for him... I think "why" might be written across my pocket --- but "not" is in the other one.

[siafu]

sweet, blue.

i used to be the date of my orthopedist. then he lengthened my hamstrings. the audacity!

we went to the bank this am, and the teller was envious of our passports. i wanted to say, mrs. teller, it's ok if you go get one and have an adventure.

[chunkymonkey]

having the email blues too

3rd day back to eating properly + rain= inertia

my mind is filled with blubber at the moment

[Cuilanië]

- It's time for me to put the keyboard away again...

- Hope cb is a lighter blue today!

- In just under 60 hours, I'll take another step on my road to him...

[zanna]

1. i am content.

2. i am content.

3. i am content.

[bluecrayon]

I have the "where the heck is he" blues all over me today

I know he has deadline hell and is probably away from his computer...

but, jeez -- 10 minutes?

Okay, I'm putting this away now...

[Larrissa]

chinese food or pizza? why arent there more types of food that will deliver?

do all those female ants ever get jiggy with each other?

should i drink more coffee and be overcaffinated or just sit around and make some art?

will chunkymonkey and thekilltoy forgive me if i cant find that card :huh: ?

okay, no one ever answers my TRQ so I'll answer yours....

here there is a service that will pick up at any restaurant and deliver. expensive, but cool. but...let's see...because it is more difficult to keep other foods warm on the drive.

no. ants are asexual and heterosexual only.

overcaffinated art please.


no. monkchunk and toykill will turn their noses and snub you for 252 days.

hey that was four questions!

[siafu]

there is a cat bawling outside. i feel bad for it.

i prefer to let my hair dry without brushing it.

i use baby lotion on my hands.

[bluecrayon]

dancing into melancholy

I hear it's music jangling outside my window, silver sharp edges against my resistance

maps of the heart never point out these dangerous roads that are so beautiful they rob you of your fear...

[Lilac]

I bought my son a woodburning kit today...still wondering if that was an insane thing to do.

Yesterday my sister told me that I was "glowing" and asked me if I was tanning. I guess working outside a couple days a week has it's advantages!

I have a baby bunny in my lap. :wub:

[bluecrayon]

He slid in under the wire and now I feel better

I am really enjoying zanna's company here...

I still feel grumpy about the phrennies (sorry, sirius)

[chunkymonkey]

I'm not sure anymore.

I'm not sure if my unsureness is real or from frustration.

I'm not sure if this will work.





I am sure that I want it to.

I am sure that I've left and stayed with certain people out of some form of fear.

I am sure that I'll have to bring it up if I want to talk about it (which is the main reason why I'm so unsure.)

[chunkymonkey]

will chunkymonkey and thekilltoy forgive me if i cant find that card

What card?

I still feel grumpy about the phrennies (sorry, sirius)

how come?


If I can't cry does that mean that I don't feel as bad as I think?


just wanted to keep with the questioning theme. :)

[medeous]

i have a papercut on my lip
i had chicken salad for dinner
annoyed by a recurring wedgie, i almost bought some thongs tonight...if it's gonna be up there anyway, why not? why not? because the damn things were 10 bucks!

[Chaetognatha]

1) I'm feeling so hot that it's giving me a migraine
2) I've been feeling very depressed lately
3) I'm both a pessimist and a utopist

[bluecrayon]

chunkymonkey wrote some beautiful sentences!

we might be sisters in melancholy.

the phrennies annoyed me because so many people, wonderful nervousness spirits who do not hang on the forums, were ignored...

[chunkymonkey]

lol imagine that. ;)

lol yeah pretty much. I have to believe that it is all worth it.

Yeah I agree... it was fun despite that. I wish everyone from the main page came to play on the forums but on the other hand I like that just a certain group of people post here. It feels more intimate.

[Chaetognatha]

1) I'm still hot
2) I'm cranky
3) I hate cheese but right now I want a slice of Brie

[Curlita]

1. I laughed when I read sarahkate's post about taking away her dog's pants.

2. I also laughed when I read about siafu's audacious, hamstring-stretching orthopedist.

3. I got so many things done today I can hardly stand myself.

[kflorathorne]

[1] i was supposed to be in bed some time ago

[2] i was supposed to call timeitook to let him know i got home safe

[3] i'm living in the land of "supposed to's" - population: 1

[tanagee]

I am ovulating...

I wonder if Possum is...

I hope both our eggs meet some nice boys to settle down with...then we will have Nervousness twins wouldn't that be fun? :yay:

[siafu]

yay tana!

i want a baby very very very much.

i will have to wait until all the salient factors are properly aligned. i hope you guys will eggwatch with me when it is time.

[bluecrayon]

heh heh -- I'll sit on the nest!

I love Ben's avatar

I love love for children!

[kittymao]

In South Carolina they serve alcohol from mini bottles. In Utah, Alcohol higher than 13% by volume is not sold. In California there is no smoking in bars.

[kittymao]

I got one hell of a sh!tty @ss cold this weekned. I feel as if my head is like a swollen water balloon. And every so often I make a moaning groan and attempt to leave pressure from my throbbing noggin.

What the hell was I thinking I could be an artist!? I suck so much ass. Well, not as bad as some, but, ya know. It's so frustrating. I think I do so well, and then I compare it to others.... and I want to pull out my hair.

I understand BlueCrayon's sullen-ness about the Phrennies. I kind of feel it myself. But- well... I guess some things are just the way they are. I was envious, and became obnoxious partially through it, then backed off and bailed before they announced the last winner. I don't like annoying people.

Like now. Who cares what I write.

[Larrissa]

i dont know you, but you dont seem to suck much ass. keep working on it. i have been sorting my drawings and writings from the last 5 years, and i can honestly say time and practice make a huge improvement on ones work.

chunkymonkey your dud! it was almost done and then it vanished from this earth! i hope i can find it while packing...

baby bunnies!! :wub: that has got to be sweet

[Cuilanië]

- I think kittymao has the post-graduation blues...

- I think distance is a difficult thing to live with...

- I think that the best we can do is stay true to ourselves...

[bluecrayon]

hugging kittymao -- my sister in sullenness! :D

and I care about everything kittymao writes

she's a poet and I don't think she knows that! :)

[picasso]

1. i'm the only one at work today

2. i can hardly keep my eyes open

3. i need :coffee

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i have some TRF reading to catch up on (2 or 3 pages)

2 mum had a little 'crisis' at work yesterday which resulted in me spending a while last night stuffing envelopes

3 it was boring, but i was happy to help

[gwensmom]

I have ditched the plan to shampoo the carpet today. I'm going to get some more sleep instead.

I ate the last two ice cream sandwiches this morning. Gwensdad had better not bring any more of those home!

I agree that the Phrennies were probably somewhat of a popularity contest, but I came and had a great time anyway. I don't get out much, you know, so it was a social high point for me!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 everyone has my official permission to call me Ali, a couple people here already do, and most people i know offline do

2 my full "alison" is perfectly fine too

3 i really need to get outta here for a little while

[tanagee]

I highly recomend this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000532QB/ref=ase_conceptionstore/002-8543272-5288806?v=glance&s=hpc) to those who are trying to concieve. Megan is proof it really works.

kittymao...I think I suck ass too. But I don't think YOU suck ass.

Today I am off to the land of inconsiderate yuppie hell...otherwise known as Costco.

[tanagee]

I am not normally one who expects preferental treatment, but I think just as there are "closer" parkings spots for the handicapped, I think there should be some for parents of small children.

That extra few feet could mean the difference between happy 2 year-old and screaming tantrum 2 year-old who just can't sit in this cart one more second!

But until that day I will continue to circle the parking lots and fight with the Suburbans, Hummers, Excursions, Escalades, and Navigators to get a spot close to the entrance.

**edited to add that I am not a SUV hater, just the people who drive them who think that they are better than you because they spend $50K on a car.**
***Maybe I should have put this in the Rants***

i almosted cryed because i know that it won't come out and they're my favorite jeans. :(

[yardenxanthe]

The sharpie might come out of your pants, zanna.

I got sharpie on a favorite shirt once.

The sharpie washed out of the shirt, to my surprise.

1: they have these here- at a lot of places, but not all....

2: some places it is 'parent parking', some it's 'parking for pregnant women and parents with small children', others is is sign with a baby stroller on it....

3: they brought that in a few years ago and it is slowly catching on....

they have it at home outfitters, but not at michael's!!! i dont 'understand why they think new moms will spend their time and (precious!!) money buying overpriced crap for their home, instea d of scrapbooking supplies!!!! <_< :P

They have a few at one of our malls, but I don't think anyone really pays attention, cuz how are you going to ticket them? Look for a car seat? And everytime I went to Babys-R-Us all the expectant mom spots were taken. :)

I am tired and cranky today.

I woke up at 6:30 this morning and as I was laying in bed trying to go back to sleep, the smell of cigarette smoke came wafting through my window from the psycho cat lady's house next door.

While I sometimes kind of like the smell of cigarette smoke (outside only), I wasn't up to it at 6:30.

here, there are spots for expectant mothers... which isn't quite what you want, but... :)

1 i love chinese food

2 i'm curious, so i am going to search for a french onion soup recipe

3 i hate no-good-mail days

[Larrissa]

whenever i say "sucks ass" to motherinlaw, she gasps. i love it. when i am not supposed to say or do something, i just do it involuntarily.

work work work
chores chores chores
pack pack pack
dont make me!

i hope the mulberries are ripe before tuesday, those babies are delicious.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 just woke up from having been asleep in front of the telly

2 going to make tea

3 then paint some nness stuff

[MelangeArtiste]

I usually want to run down the 'kiddie friendly' parking signs when I see them. I help some elders in my community (who aren't handicapped) with their shopping, and resent like hell that a young person gets preferential treatment over them.(Sorry Tanagee but that's my reality) There is enough anti-elder sentiment to be overcome without merchants promoting it. So, we park in those spaces anyway because they are not legally protected and we'd have a field day in the press if anyone made an issue of it.

I just got back from a meeting that started on time, stayed on topic, and finished on time. Whoo! Not to mention we accomplished a lot.

Anyone want to join me in a complaint campaign to Stop & Shop supermarkets to get their signs changed to kiddie/elder parking?

Call that a meeting???! :lol:

- Where I used to work up until last year, there were lots and lots of meetings but no results... :rolleyes:

- Because of the above, my boss was never available to make the decisions she wouldn't let anyone else handle...

- Can anyone tell me why a charity needs so many meetings? :wacko:

[Cuilanië]

- Sample and/or scintillation vials are the best containers to keep ink mixes in. You know, those small, clear lab bottles with screw-caps, so nice for keeping solutions and samples...

- I used to have several dozen empty ones, but I had to leave them when I left Montréal... I gave them to a friend of mine.

- Now I'm mixing watercolour ink, and I miss them...

Bonus: I just found a place really near my place where I *might* just find some. ^_^

[medeous]

i'm headachey
i got my contract today and was pleasantly surprised
tomorrow is pay day.

[zanna]

i'm waiting for a phone call.

i'm waiting for the bell to ring.

i'm waiting to finally be able to go home.

[chunkymonkey]

commercials (http://x-entertainment.com/downloads/) used to be pretty cool.

I'm almost done with my 80's atcs

I'm feeling very energetic today :D

[thunderstorm_19]

elderly people can qualify for the handicapped parking permits, my gran had (and used) one when she lived at home/was still going out in public. i don't know exactly what the criteria is though.

1 french onion soup looks good, but not into making it today!

2 might however, simply mix beef broth and (cooked) skinny noodles for a snack later

3 ooh program about dinosaurs... heheh

[MelangeArtiste]

Handicapped criteria are justifiably stringent, more so than just being tired and old.

Tired and old has become second class to tired and young.

It's just sucky store policies, and boycotts are going to be my solution. Grey power rules!

[siafu]

i think stopnsnop probably assumes that old people can get handicapped perrmits. perhaps bringing the issue to their attention boldly would get the signs changed to kiddie/elder.

i'm home all day today; i hope i get a lot done :rolleyes:

heidi's wedding ring turned to blah metal. i need to try to get our money back. i found a goldsmith who may cast rings for us. that would be awesome.

3. I watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 last night. I might go to a local drive-in to see Vol. 2 this weekend if the weather is nice.

[reddirtrose]

I'm stuck in a funk

it's a beautiful day

the lemon zinger box reminds me to enjoy life and look at the stars

[Lilac]

I cut my hand pretty bad this afternoon on a piece of metal at the construction site, but I'm not going to report this to my boss.

I really don't have much else to say..it's been a boring day....

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone!

[chunkymonkey]

local drive-in

when are they going to make a comeback? They'd make a killing.

drawing mc hammer didn't work out too well

the phone keeps ringing <_<

[MelangeArtiste]

I hope today's mail will bring the rubber stamps I ordered from Zettiology and the barcode reader.

The last watercolor I painted needs darker darks, even though it is high key. At least I have saved a huge amount of whites, which can't be fixed later on. The darks can be added.

I'm not always such a bitch as I am today. I'm just angry and depressed at the same time because some people never change and I am too stubborn to accept that (edited to say that this is NOT in reference to someone at Nervousness).

going for 900 posts

saying goodbye to my darkroom

saying hello to now

[nymphette]

1: i will make the reason behind ALL of the "reserved for..." parking spots known to everyone who parks there and shouldn't be!!!

2: it makes my blood boil that when i was 9 months pregnant, toting along a 2 1/2 year old hyper boy and an almost-three-year-old-special-needs foster child, in -50 weather with snow and ice, that i had to park in the boonies at walmart because some snot nosed little whip dick in designer jeans felt the need to park in the expectant mom/parents with small children spot- because they were too fucking lazy to drive around the lot a few times until another spot opened, or just to park farther away like *I* had to... heaven forbid that the man in the porsche two seater shoudl have to park more than thirty feet away from the door.... :angry:

3: and believe me, i did NOT 'run out' to walmart, or anywhere else for that matter, if i did NOT HAVE TO...... it was always absolute necessity that made me mke that trip out..........

[bluecrayon]

I'm home early because I saw the door and it smiled at me and there was my bike and I was done with the classroom part of my day and I said yes to leaving the premises...

Now that there are less than 6 weeks left of this school year, I find myself drifting into summer

I have to make a decision soon about next school year and where I want to be....

[Cuilanië]

- Aw, Robyn, it's kinda hard to imagine you getting worked up over something when I look at your smiling baby boy (in your avatar)!

- Another day spent inside... It's cold and raining, like winter wanted to have one last say.

- I'm tired. Didn't sleep at all well last night.

[Cuilanië]

- I've recently rediscovered the Indigo Girls song I'm quoting in my sig.

- I'm just as obsessed with it as the first time around.

- But this time I'm paying more attention to the lyrics...

[kittymao]

Looking up phone numbers for follow-up calls to places I applied to about two weeks ago. And just taking a break from that. yeah. That's what I'm doing. No. really.

I feel a bit better today, maybe I just need some more sleep. I've veeb woring feverishly on nervy projects.

When my mum gets home I am gonna get a MAJOR load of cash. Some has to be spent, but hey, that's hwat happens when you live on teh grid, yesyes?

[kittymao]

ha. apparently I feel better, but my spelling has gone to sh!t.

I've been cleaning my room too. I can't pack until my room's clean and I have boxes to pack in. My mum's supposed to take care of that... but well, she's kinda forgetful.

crap! i applied to 10 places: 4 0nline, 5 applications and 1 in store. but I only remember 7. what were the others?!

[siafu]

i did a bold thing. i called someplace for office space for a community legal clinic.

then i got all worried about failing. :rolleyes:

Yay there are some people posting in 3RF that havent been here much (or at all) before! The more the merrier :)

[Chaetognatha]

I've just had a cup of tepid diet coke
I usually avoid sodas
Now I understand why

I'm feeling light-headed
I have recurring nightmares every single night
I've been having very weird dreams since I was a child

I'm saddened by my inability to enjoy simple things in life without thinking that I don't deserve to be happy
I constantly feel out of place
I don't always understand myself, let alone others around me.

My best friend commited suicide two years ago and I still can't recover from the loss
I feel guilty because I was thousands of miles away when she died
I wish I could have told her I loved her one last time

There is a chiropractor near UCLA that will sign the paperwork for a price $$$...I think he got busted though.

I didn't mean to start a ageist war...I am hot, tired and cranky and was not looking forward to having to lug a hot, tired and cranky 2 year-old across the north 40 in 90 degree heat, to a car with busted A/C. Just wished I could pull into a spot and run in and out easier.

When I was only 6 months pregnant I had someone park so close to my drivers side that I had to climb in the passenger side...Had I not been in a hurry I would have called a tow truck because they were parked illegaly in the first place. I did however leave them a really nasty note filled with many expletives and curses that their pants become a nesting site for scorpions.

To further illustrate my crankiness today...A toothless homeless guy chastised me for stopping in the crosswalk and I yelled "How about you fix my f@#king breaks for me, then I will be able to stop in a manner more to your liking!" at him

[tanagee]

I must remember:

not to get my hopes up anymore

that I am the least important thing or person in his life

that I am not destined to be happy

[tanagee]

I am being stalked an haunted by things that used to make me happy.

I didn't appreciate what I had until it was gone.

I want to rewind my life back to October 24, 2002.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my friend i was supposed to see this evening got called in to work at the last minute, so i might get to see her this weekend instead...

2 i'm starving

Yikes. :(

I feel out of place all over the place... I'm too young, too old, too tall, too loopy, too serious, too politically "out there", too quiet, too verbal...

but I've reached a point in my life where I'm okay with this --

it took time, though.

Just wished I could pull into a spot and run in and out easier.

1: hear hear!!! although i can commiserate, i am lucky enough to (as of last summer, because of harrison) have a car with AC.... we have to have a car and house with AC becuse if he overheats, it affects him metabolically and his ammonia levels will get dangerously high....

2: i am making hummous again.... i need to make my own pitas too but i am too lazy... :P

3: low carb pitas are yummy and make 'normal' ones taste crusty and stale...

[nymphette]

1: hugs for tana- i'm sorry that you feel haunted... :( i feel like that a lot lately too... PM me if you wanna chat or rant about anything, i'm a good ear... :)

2: meh.. i'm too lazy to get off this computer and make the hummous too!!! :P

3: i am craving dulce de leche ice cream... my period is due tomorrow... :lol:

[gwensmom]

I found an old book while decluttering.

I went to see if it was worth selling on Amazon.com

Turns out the book is out of print and the lowest price for a used one anywhere is $84.99! I listed mine for $75.99.

[Chaetognatha]

What book is it?

1: hurrah for gwensmom!!! i really should check out some of my books on amazon too before selling them all for 50 cents each at a garage sale in a fit of desperately needing cash... :P

2: my mom i shaving a garage sale in a few weeks and i am going to set up a table of crafty stuff there too- though who knows how well this stuff sells at a garage sale.. when you have the little old ladies dickering you down to 5 cents for a set of drapes because they 'look old' what can you do with quality items??? :o :P :D

3: i just realized chris and i haven't celebrated our anniversary.... i DID buy him a card (it was on the 14th) but he didn't get me one... big surprise.... nothing to celebrate i guess

[tanagee]

My mood has not been helped by the fact that I fried my digital camera due to my own lazy stupidity.

I am sick of the never ending list of things that need to be fixed or replaced.

On a funny note: I was doing laundry yesterday and I pulled a pair of Levis out of my hubby's greasy dirty work clothes hamper that looked strangely familiar...I don't know what is more depressing; that HE fit's in MY jeans (he said they fit GREAT) or that he ruined my Levis. And I don't know if I should let him keep wearing them, they ARE womens jeans after all...

[siafu]

he's lucky that they're strong enough for a man but made for a woman.

i made coffee. i should go drink it.

my hair is growing. where's curlita? she should tell us about hers.

[nymphette]

1: i am very jealous of curlita's hari.. :)

2: i pay good money to get hair all curly and fun!!!

3: i't s money well spent... :wub: i feel pretty now (got my perm on saturday) for hte first time in 4 years....

It's a book about how a person that invents a game can get it patented and market it.

Chaetognatha - what does your name mean? Being from Tennessee, I always read it as "Chattanooga".

I am watching clean sweep- a TLC show where they make people clean out their houses. This woman on the show has a huge plastic bin full of rubber stamps. I wonder if she is a nervouser!

[Chaetognatha]

a chaetognath is a dart-shaped worm of the phylum Chaetognatha. Basically you find them amongst marine plankton.
(from the Greek: khaité 'long hair' and gnathos 'jaw')

I'm aware it sounds weird, but I like the way the word looks.

[nymphette]

1: crest white strips really do work....

2: i am giving myself a facial today, and a conditioning hair treatment... thursday night i am giving myself a manicure and pedicure andpainting my finger and toe mails....

3: i have an image to uphold in my 'other ' life in calgary.... i can't just go see all my friends dressed as 'mommy'... :P

[nymphette]

1: if only i could lose 100 pounds by friday... :o

2: okay, maybe not a HUNDRED....

3: but still....

[kittymao]

bleagh.

snarf.

I have to pee.

Look at the chaetognath! (http://www.lifesci.ucsb.edu/~haddock/plankton/Chaeto.gif) You could use this as your avatar.

It is scary looking but kind of cool too.

You can tell why its name is derived from a word that means 'long hair'

[siafu]

what a worm.

i need to a) read about form critical theory and b ) find a recipe for homemade enchilada sauce. heidi makes it with a roux and something.

i have almost completed all my boring chores.

WHAT is all that junk in there? (I made it red) What is everybody else seeing? Or is it just Robyn's computer?


Don't mind me today...I am feeling sorry for myself for what I DON'T have and not apreciating what I DO have.

I want this CD, it is Dave Grohl's latest side project. Probot (http://www.probotmusic.com/probot/)

It is scary looking but kind of cool too.
It is creepy-cute.

[zanna]

i'm watching will and grace.

i absolutely love karen.

i wish i could be just like her ..she's so mean and bitchy, and it comes so easy!

[bluecrayon]

I am bending my own time twig into chaos

I am bouncing back and forth so much in my memory I'm not clear about NOW...

I need to roll across the floor and into that bump...

[amylyn]

dinner is ready

i have too much homework

all my kids are home from school sick :ill:

[emtmeghan]

My job was on TV today.

It took a long time to get a truch to an accident.

They would have died anyway :(

[Lilac]

I'm so extraordinarily tired tonight! I came home from work and got a LOT done out in the yard and barn. I could drop off to sleep right here at his computer desk.

I kinda hope it rains tomorrow so that I have an excuse to lay around after work.

Every muscle in my body is aching right now.


...and my hand is throbbing like heck!

1: it is from my computer being vandalized by spyware... i keep getting crap underlined and turned into links.... like, words- job, slot, casino (hm.), message, you name it.... :'(

2: we used a spyware getter-rid-of program and it didn't help.....

3: which is why i am not on here more, i can't stad shutting down the pop ups and dealing with the redirects whenever i open a browser or click on a (REAL, not spyware induced- i dont' know what happens if you click on one of THEM!) link.......

[nymphette]

1: spyware, job, casino, and slot are all underlined with green and turned into links....

2: message isn't... why did i think that was one of THEIR words???

3: did meika send THEM after me???? :o :P :D :rofl:

[tanagee]

THAT really sucks! Have you tried running some virus software?

1. I think that my Grandmas Ford Explorer is cursed.

2. I think that I am a jinx.

3. If there is truly such a job as a 'cooler' at casinos; I think I may have a lucrative career ahead of me. (see fact #2)

[Cuilanië]

- Somewhere in this room, there is an envelope with ATC blanks in it.

- I can't find it.

- <mutters> this place is too well organised, that's what's wrong with it... never had any trouble finding my stuff when everything was just lying around in piles...

:rolleyes: :lol:

Edited to add that this room is between 10 and 11m². That's around 90 sq. ft. That's a small space for things to get lost in.

[medeous]

tree roots are squishing the clay plumbing pipes out near the sidewalk, causing my basement drain to drain verrrrrry slowly and sorta-kinda flooding my basement for about a yard all around the drain. dod you suppose my homeowners insurance would cover having this fixed?

i need to have my gutters cleaned. no way am i climbing a ladder to do it. i think i need those gutter cover things.

i also want to get my car painted and my hardwood floors sanded and re-stained to cover puppy potty stains.

[medeous]

and i'd like to get my bathroom re-tiled around the tub, or maybe an enclosure put in.

and i 'd like to put in another bathroom in the basement.

and i'm sure my wiring needs work.

[medeous]

another light, a ceiling fan and a swing for the porch.

i need the huge shrubbery in the front yard trimmed.

and i need a fence or invisible fence in the back yard so my pup can play safely.

[nymphette]

1: medeous- that's a lot of work to have done!!! are you sure youo wouldn't be better off moving?? :o nah.... i wouldn't move from my little house.. even though it needs bout half that stuff done too!!! :)

2: cuilainie- you need to spend the nex two days creating.... and make sure you dig out ALL your art supplies so it gets good and lived in and you can find stuff again!!!

3: tanagee- our virus software is MISSING!!! :o

[thunderstorm_19]

1 daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

2 freaking hockey

3 i am generally not one who cares, except i seem to get a little glued whenever the leafs are in the playoffs... which they were... until a few seconds ago, when they lost 3-2 in overtime. :(

I am here and my hair is also growing. I can put the top part up in a clip again. How is yours growing, Teresa? At the shoulders yet? I have a hair appt. on Monday to get it shaped into a "growing out" style.

My hair is also GREYING. I've had several people commenting on my ever-more-noticable grey temples.

I think that Tana should embroider subtle little roses on the butt of all her jeans. Nothing you'd notice while getting dressed, but something that would be visible once one got to work. ;)

[nymphette]

1: i bought some jiffypop popcorn yesterday because i thought julian would get a kick out of it...

2: it was 2/$1.50 at the loonie store.... but it was kettle corn, not 'normal' popcorn.... so i didn't think any of us would like it...

3: i popped another one otnight because the first one was gobbled up by me AND mr. picky-husband..... wow... he is the one who asked for the second pan!!!

i was sure i wouldn't like it because i like slty/savory popcorn- and seasoned with those little shakers.... ranch, jalapeno, white cheddar, dill pickle, you name it...

but i also like caramel corn, so.....

though i always <shudder> hated that pink stuff in the box.... ech!!!

[medeous]

i would like to move, but realtors always want you to fix stuff up when you sell.

if it were fixed up, i wouldn't want to move.

i think i'll propose to a handyman.

[siafu]

oh no...not to the shoulders yet, but it is starting to lie down. and the back is all kicky and fluffy.

i'm supposed to be writing.

i did yoga and dishes, so this post is my reward.

[zanna]

my throat really hurts.

i wish the pain would go away.

i have to go to court tomorrow for my speeding ticket :( :unsure:

:lol: Why d'ya think I was looking for the ATC blanks? ;) Actually, my art stuff has been lying around on my desk for the past two days... :)

- Hugs to zanna... I have to go to court Thursday for my first divorce hearing (out of two).

- Problem with having the art stuff on my desk is that I can't have the keyboard there too... This place is too small to hold both a computer table and an art table. If ever my roommate finds an apartment of his own, I'll move the computer into the other room.

- Holy smokes, I've just noticed that it's almost five am... Been making ATCs, and I lost track.

[Curlita]

I just posted belly pics on the photo thread. I am literally counting down the hours until the ultrasound on Friday.

I've spent the last hour fiddling with the digital camera when what I should really be doing is finding a birthday card to send.

I feel like such a slime. I still don't have a Mother's Day gift for my mommy.

[Lilac]

I should be in bed. I'm overly tired and giddy now. Anything I say tonight should be disregarded tomorrow! :D

I'm too tired to get up, shut off the computer, pee, put the dogs out to pee, wash my face, brush my teeth and get myself up the stairs to bed. So...I'll just sit here like an idiot. A tired, foolish idiot.

I want to see Curlita's belly pics! I'm going to go look right now.

[Cuilanië]

- I like Erica's pictures. :)

- I should have gone to bed hours ago. I'm yawning fit to break my jaw.

- Why-oh-why do the art and craft things I like best take so much time to do right? I'm impatient! :wacko:

[hammerquill]

I spent nearly three hours :blink: this afternoon painstakingly patinaing two large pieces of metal brown: http://www.davidmbowman.com/RCB/Photos/two%20brown%20pcs.jpg

I can't help but reflect that this is, considered objectively, kind of an odd thing to do.

I'm surprised that my back is not even more tired than it is.

i wish i could be just like her ..she's so mean and bitchy, and it comes so easy

the ONLY reason i have ever watched this show is to enjoy that woman. i hate sitcoms and 90% of everything on tv. but she just rocks.

most the time i just deal, there are occasions of a dam breaking, and feelings that i somehow knew where there go running free. maybe im too restrained, in some way not understood by this silly person i have become.

i have alot of self improvement to do. hoping to find my insider that will turn this into That. ever feel this way?

[siafu]

yes. i want to be brave, levelheaded, dashing, and famous in a nerdy unassuming kind of way.

mostly i'm just nice.

but i might finally get to sew tonight. and that will be fun and interesting.

[tanagee]

I didn't take any 'naked' belly pictures because I was too self concious of the extra 30 pounds of pre-baby weight that was on top of the baby belly and I kinda regret it.

I was on here at 6:30 then the Hubby called to say "lets go for Taco's" and I left without logging off...9 PM rolls around and it looks like I am still here.

11:11...make a wish

[Cuilanië]

- Time to put the keyboard aside once more...

- Today I am not looking for a job. I'm preparing for tomorrow.

- The day is sullen and stormy...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 this is my first post to this thread today

2 must accomplish useful things today - like nness projects, potentially shopping, cleaning and reorganizing

3 i just realised it's only wednesday, and earlier i had myself convinced it was thursday

[gwensmom]

This morning I felt like dancing in the post office because Footloose was on.

I sold a CD on Amazon.com and shipped it in a CD mailer I made out of a pizza box.

Gwen felt good this morning so I did too.

[bluecrayon]

The light from dawn has just pushed the darkness out of the room... I can hear some mourning doves sighing

In the stillness I can hear the earth's heartbeat...

I talked to him from midnight to 345am -- It is becoming apparent I need to find the door.

[Cuilanië]

- If you don't find the door, cb, draw one on the wall...

- I'm catching up on my projects. I've almost finished the returns for Life, Entropy & Paradox...

- I had a bit of an inspiration block on that one.

[MelangeArtiste]

There was only a piece of junk mail in my box yesterday, and it wasn't even interesting enough to reuse.

Now that the AB RR is coming to an end, I feel like I am at the summit of a mountain--tired and restless.

There are two local altered book groups being formed, and I am going to go with the less structured one.

[Cuilanië]

- Part of what I've been doing today:
http://perso.club-internet.fr/liveparadox/scans/ATC047.jpg

- My roommate is coming home tonight... That means no net from seven until midnight, and after midnight I'm supposed to be in bed... gotta get up early tomorrow.

- Well, actually I do have a couple of hours left on my account... (the account recharges tonight. :yay: )

[sarahkate]

1. Oooh Eve! That is a beautiful ATC! (I am assuming it's an ATC anyway :P) I love the colors :)

2. I haven't made any ATCs in quite a while. Maybe I should work on some soon.

3. I was just in the bathroom and two of my coworkers were in there and they did their business and both walked out together without washing their hands. Ewww.

[Cuilanië]

- I know I should've put that in the gallery, but I felt like showing off...

- I seem to have misplaced my letter of summons for tomorrow's hearing. Sigh. This is just so typical...

- I am seriously considering ordering Indian food for dinner. I guess I could go pick it up... but it's just far enough that the food would be cold by the time I get back. And I don't have a microwave.

[Cuilanië]

Thanks SK!! :) It's an acrylic and black ink ATC.

- Just make sure you don't touch anything those two touch...

- Mmmm... cheese nan....

- I wonder what I should wear tomorrow...

[Curlita]

Originally posted by Cuilanië@May 5 2004, 08:07 AM

This is your divorce hearing, no? I would recommend big, black boots!

I'm tired, even though I got a lot of sleep last night.

I have to put up a new exhibit at the museum today. I'm excited about it being up, and also nervous about the opening tomorrow.

[Cuilanië]

- Black boots are a good idea... but I don't have any. Think I'll settle for my clunky black shoes...

- I think I'm about to fall in love with acrylic gel medium. Dangerous stuff...

- I need ATC sleeves.

[kittymao]

stuff sucks.

fat head throbbies, makes me sneeze too much.

Mail and burgers and some clay and stuff.

( such is my thought patterns- I rarely make any sense.)

[bluecrayon]

I am hitting the wall I think and it isn't even 1030am yet --

Just looked at a picture of him and burst into tears...

Yikes, where are my gravity shoes???? :ph34r:

[chunkymonkey]

:hug: for cb

I think you are making perfect sense kitty

veronica get off th eocmputer. It's not helping. :wacko:

[Cuilanië]

- a great big hug for cb

- I'm sneaking in on my own time... :ph34r:

- I just glued a dried rose petal to an ATC blank to see how it turns out. It's given me an idea...

[Larrissa]

ever notice the 82,000+ views this thread has?

why is it so difficult to get away from this place?

should i get the cat sedated for the plane trip?

*3RQ, answers appreciated :)

[zanna]

i went to court today for my speeding ticket. i was pretty nervous ..it was big people's court!

i feel good about how things turned out though ..i got my points reduced and got to pay a smaller fee ..although i'm stuck with taking a defensive driving course again. ugh. <_<

cuilanië : good luck tomorrow! :)
