Three random facts:

[zanna]

..and i'm off.

i managed to grab just enough time to come and say goodbye.

i'll be in sunny florida for a whole week. i will miss you guys a lot!!! bye!

:wave:

[Larrissa]

morning morning good mornin to you. gum, water, and im's from james, the day starts out good.

i will have to ramsack zanna's room while shes gone :evil:

sometimes you feel like the devil with the flames, and sometimes you feel like the little guy sprouting hearts :wub:

[Larrissa]

sundays = no mail. how will i live with TWO days a week with no mail?? damn canadians <_<

so i just bump around and respond to most anything without my name on it, and i could do this for hours until i have some biological function to care care of, eat, pee, sleep ... :rolleyes:

okay im going to post ONE number asnd then depart. i have to fill out those applications today too. and read this LONG thing to edit ... adios! :wave:

[Larrissa]

okay so you know? im starting to feel like no one likes to post in here after me. :blink: is it something i said??

the read to edit made me cry. and crying sometimes makes me laugh. its a strange and delicious combination.

cheatin on an account i dont know who owns :evil:

momma said i had to clean the living room today, its full of these little stupid decorations ALL OVER and i have to windex and furniture polish alll that shit. but its okay, i have music.

why do people feel "deja vu"? will that phrase ever become uncliched? is there another way to say it ... hmmm. i dont know. i think i will have some espresso, with hersheys syrup.

i shall PM some people while im at it.

i do hope the camera WORKS today, i want to post more pictures :rolleyes:

[Dalmaney]

I have a new stack of library magazines.

I went to church this morning.

It's rainy and icky and I'm going to go curl up with the telephone.

[Skilyne]

I got up and went to church this morning and then out for lunch.

I am feeling sleepy and lazy, and I think I may try to take a nap.

I have to go back to work tommorow and start a whole new working week, so I might as well really laze it up today! :D

[Curlita]

I was awake from 3 AM until 8 AM.

Then I slept until noon.

Now I feel mixed. I am well rested, but there are oh-so-many things to do today, and now I am behind.

<_<

[Astabeth]

I have a sinus infection. I just got out of bed to post new bingo words and I wound up in here.

I once read a theory I liked about how deja vu happens. It said that when you experience something, your brain sends signals to your awareness center so that you are aware of what is going on, and your brain sends signals to your memory center so that you will remember what is happening. According to this theory, occasionally the signals get crossed and the signal gets to your memory BEFORE you are aware of it, and so when you become aware of it you are surprised to find it already in your memory, hence deja vu.

bluecrayon, sorry about your rat :(

[bluecrayon]

I am spinning like a crazy blue top while I wait for the hours to bring me to there

astabeth, are you familiar with the concept of brae she'et? before we are born we experience everything in the universe and then it is "slapped" out of us at birth -- but pockets remain where the memories still breathe and so we bump into our own memories all through our lives...

I miss kamoke.

[siafu]

i didn't go to church. my reason: too sweepy. that's the technical term.

i'm going tomorrow so i don't feel that bad.

i was supposed to be the general evaluator of the toastmasters. oops.

[gwensmom]

I rained here today while the sun was out but I couldn't find a rainbow.

We are supposed to go to a stock the bar party for an engaged couple tonight. I forgot to get them something and it's Sunday so I can't buy anything. So I guess I will have to stay home. It's better because I am in no mood to party today.

Gwen slept all morning while Gwensdad was taking care of her. She woke up miserable with an upset stomach and I have been dealing with her ever since.

My family is back from my cousins wedding in Oklahoma. They all had a great time and I was stuck here.

[siafu]

:hug: for gwensmom.

liquor laws are weird.

:hug: for gwensmom

That's very cool! Sometimes I think that our brains can understand how everything in the universe works but they can't understand it and keep our bodies running at the same time - does that make sense?

I once had a moment of perfect understanding but I lost it. It was all mathematics.

:hug: to gwensmom too.

[ibiddy_boo]

:hug: to everyone.

i just read Jackie's post about her friend's daughter and am terribly saddened by it.

i'm waiting on the race to end so hubby can take me to wallyworld for something i've long since forgotten that i need or we're out of or something. i don't mind races, but nascar is almost never ending.....i'm bored long before the thing is over with.

[ibiddy_boo]

It's been raining off and on here today.

Hubby and i hauled a couple loads of dirt to the flowerbed that is still not finished. It should have been completed long ago.

i was horribly bitten up by some vicious bugs while getting the dirt. Next time i'm taking a can of instant bug kill with me. :angry: i hate bugs....have i ever mentioned that?...only a gazillion times, i'm sure!

[silkworm]

tomorrow i am going to meet my musical hero at a record store signing. i still haven't decided if i should go there tonight and wait, or early tomorrow morning.

tonight i am going to dinner with people i don't like at a fancy restaurant and fear i have nothing to wear and nothing to say. (so i'm stalling on taking a shower.)

the eraser here on my desk i have had since 10th grade geometry (i am now 31 years old). too bad this is not an indication of how many mistakes i make.

[hammerquill]

My apartment building seems almost deserted. The young guy who was living with his grandparents next door moved out a few months ago. The young couple across from them seems to be on vacation, the other young couple above them broke up (apparently) and moved out a few weeks ago, most of the other family upstairs seems to be away at the moment, and the neighbor directly above me has been living with her girlfriend somewhere else for over a year now.

There are six trash cans (wheelie bins, actually), one for each apartment. Normally, only four or five are filled and taken out to the curb. Today, it's one and a half.

It is another gorgeous day today.

[kamoke]

Well, work was decent today. I did a lot of singing and dancing. Though people pretend they dont like it, i think they enjoy the change

i've made a study date for tomorrow morning. The exam is in the afternoon/ im not feeling worried, maybe because i like doing tests. And filling out forms. someone send me random forms to fill out.. :lol:

I couldn't think of a third fact, so ill just say my watch is broken. but i think the battery may have come loose.

[Cuilanië]

OMG, that gave me such an idea for THEY... too late.

I've again taken advantage of Roommate's absence to move my computer to his room so I can let my mother sleep. But she's still up reading.

Not to wonder where I get my nocturnal habits from... :rolleyes:

[siafu]

i just cried and cried for not so apparent a reason.

*sigh*

i mostly felt maligned.

[gwensmom]

:wub: Theresa

Today was awful but it is better now.

I think I ruined a load of clothes because there was a chocolate in one of my pockets.

I'm starting a countdown. NINE more weeks until Gwen's regular school starts!

[hammerquill]

:hug: Theresa; :hug: Sarah Gwensmom; :hug: those who need one. http://www.davidmbowman.com/aircastle/images/smiles/hugx10.gif Eve. (so I'm biased. sue me.)

It's too warm in here.

The nectarine ice cream is going to be good, though too rich.

[Cuilanië]

:wub:, Reed.

:hug: to anyone feeling sad or mad or just plain bad...

Nectarine ice cream sure sounds good.

aw sarah!!!! i hate it when that happens!!!! it's so unfair!!! :(

1: the sun poked it's head out for (seriously and literally) 2 and a half minutes today.... :( that was NOT long enough to help this mood!!!!

2: though i won't jump, reed....

3: not yet.... ;)

[nymphette]

1: theresa- you never need an excuse to buy a new asian stamp!!!!

2: a kitchen full of dishes (company tonight) and i have no inclination to start!!!

3: and a kid who needs to get to bed!!!!

[Curlita]

Hugs to Theresa. I cried today too.

Something about being pregnant turns on major waterworks when I am feeling sorry for myself about something. I burned my finger on the toaster oven once and wound up weeping inconsolably.

I want more chocolate.

[kamoke]

Im glad i can't and [hopefully!] wont be pregnant ;)

i love kids though! a lot! they are awesome! i want about 35

I'm trying to contimplate going outside for a midnight lark

:hug: ?

[gwensmom]

I just saw a post by Jenhook on Craftgrrl (http://www.livejournal.com/community/craftgrrl/). She was showing some amazing shawls she crocheted.

Tomorrow is Nymphette's big appointment.

Someone asked me if I had a support group of other special needs parents and i said "Yes and her name is Robyn".

[Astabeth]

I am the only one on Nervousness right now.

I don't think that's ever happened.

Maybe I can go to sleep now.

[bluecrayon]

230am and I am waiting for the taxi that will take me to the airport where I will wait for the plane that will take me finally ever so briefly to him.... :wub:

I am the only one here now so I can yell and make a scene and no one will care...

I've got about 43 L words jangling around in my pockets.

bye, everyone.

[Cuilanië]

Bon voyage, cb!!

All of you take care of yourselves...

:crossed: for Robyn and her big appointment.

[kamoke]

Spent the morning studying. actually it was an hour, but thats pretty good for me

I registered to vote today

Im starving, but instead of getting some lunch before my exam, i fool around this place ;)

:D

[siafu]

hi.

studying contracts today.

feeling better from allergies.

[Lilac]

My son turned 11 on Saturday. I had a huge bash for him at the Go-Cart/bumper boat/mini golf park. It was a blast! I made the most disgusting-looking cake (kitty litter with tootsie-roll sculpted cat "droppings") which was a HUGE hit with the boys!

I had a "mother's only" go-cart race, too. I don't think some of the mothers knew how to take me. Some of them I know and am friends with...others probably think I'm a little "strange." All but 2 mothers participated in the race.

I can't believe my little boy is already 11! How did this happen so fast??

[ibiddy_boo]

Thinking about Robyn.

:hug: to you Curlita....i remember those preggie mood swings. Just ride that tear tide hon, cause that's about all you can do. :)

i have a treadmill now. i can walk without having to go out into the dreaded bugdom forest.

[siafu]

yay, cindy! bye bye bugs!

my mom is a teacher's aid for profoundly handicapped kids. sometimes i wonder why, but man, she gets so excited about being with them. it must be like they totally get along.

i think cold pizza is for breakfast.

[Lilac]

I forgot to mention that Kevin spent this past weekend at my house...YIKES! The first time ever! He went to my son's party, too...and all the mother's were Ooohing and Aaaahing over him... :D

This is a man who grew up urban in Newark, NJ and had never really experienced rural life. It was hysterical just watching him try to help out with some of the yard work yesterday!

AND --- I actually IRONED A DRESS SHIRT FOR HIM! He stayed last night and drove to work from my house this morning.


Okay...he's cute and I like him...for now!

[sarahkate]

~ We got our new couch on Saturday. We didn't pay the extra money to have it delivered which was a bad idea because it took us nearly 3 hours to get it in the house. It wouldn't fit through the doorways. We ended up taking our front door off and then later our kitchen door along with the screen door and the FRAME around the screen door. Finally we managed to squeeze it in, but in doing so the couch had white paint scraped all down the sides (luckily I got it off with a sponge)

~ Yesterday my back really hurt so I took some pain killers which made me a woozy blob for the rest of the day & night.

~ I found out that my friend (also my boyfriend's sister) has a tumor of some sort on or near one of her ovaries! :o She has to get an MRI and wait to find out more. I'm nervous for her.

[Larrissa]

everyone? :wub: good morning.

i dont have anything to say.

im grinning again :D

Well it has to be pretty serious if you are willing to iron for him!

I iron for no man.

In fact, I try to avoid ironing for myself if I can.

BONUS: Okay, I think I've ironed for my husband a couple times. But, um, only as part of a kinky role-playing fantasy. Yeah, that's it.

[siafu]

i found out i can't be a contract public defender. there are too many in the tri-county area. anyway, the request for proposals closed april 20. i'm so nonplussed.

i was going to go get a job cleaning for the day, but heidi was against it. she says people should pay me to use my great, pulsing brain.

maybe i can bake today. i'm eating flour again, though not by itself, because that would be disgusting.

:lol: I told him this was the first and last time ...but he didnt seem to believe me. He just stood there grinning like a fool as I ironed. It was worth the effort to see that big goofy grin!

He is terribly afraid of Gruff and Gruff knows this.

I'm still smiling from this weekend! ;) :P :lol:

[Larrissa]

cookies to siafu! i must bake post haste - atkins is :evil:

i posted a picture of the garage/my bedroom :ph34r: only half the mess is shown.

camera behaving, just remembered i have to take of picture of naked mail from dunglas. be right back

[Sirius]

I finally started a blog, as if I didn't have enough personal information on the net.

I brought my ibiddy_boo blue monkey to work today.

I hope siafu finds a happy career soon.

[Larrissa]

i talk to you guys as if no one else can hear.

that monkey can help pump gas, im impressed.

sometimes i am going to type one word and another word shows up on the screen. like "thank" for "that" i blame the conspiracies, but you know that :lol:

i reeeeeally nervous about a job.

[Sirius]

Benjamin is difficult for me to spell.

The monkey is highly useful.

oh, just thought of something i forgot to do....going to do it now...

[Larrissa]

i know another secret! damnit if i cant tell what i know, i have to at least say that i know, you know? :ph34r: :wave: :lol:

chug the caffiene, it makes me sleepy sometimes.

i should go do stuff. lots of stuff. im stuff-doing behind

[Dalmaney]

1. I don't have another two weeks of work to do for the next two weeks, but I get paid regardless, so meh.

2. The Boy goes up to camp this afternoon, making him signifigantly harder to reach.

3. I think I will try to send him real letters as opposed to emails at least some of the time, just for the more personal (and somewhat romantic) touch.

:wub: right back at ya babe!!!! :wub:

1: appointment went okay.... in a nutshell:

he will do the amnio if we want him to (or CVS, but...)

he doesn't see why we'd take the risk (.5%) for miscarriage to find out since we won't 'terminate the pregnancy' if the baby will be sick....

he thinks that newborn screening for CPS is fine and dandy....

2: okay, so he didn't put it like that, and he was very good and fine about it all... but....

3: even after explaining what hell we went through with the staff here with harrison, and that i WILL NOT deliver here if this baby is affected, he still thinks it will all be fine, since 'they will know what they are dealing with'.....

[nymphette]

1: they DON'T know though, that is the problem... none of them know and none of them will take the time to learn.....

2: i have zero faith in the entire NICU staff here.... even though the worst of the shit came from dr. lee who doesn't even work there anymore!, all FIVE of them are accountable....

3: so we need to 'decide' if we want the procedure and let him know by mid-july.....

[gwensmom]

I registered to vote today
This is excellent :yay: Go kamoke!

I made the most disgusting-looking cake (kitty litter with tootsie-roll sculpted cat "droppings") which was a HUGE hit with the boys!
:rofl: O. M. G. How did you ever think of that? what did you use for kitty litter? what did the other moms say? Lilac you just rock.

Robyn, is mid-July when you will find out whether it is a girl or a boy?

[sarahkate]

~ Poor Robyn, you just never seem to get a break! :( I hope they will let you have the baby somewhere that you feel more comfortable. Maybe you will just have to come visit me right around your due date and then *ooops* you will have to have the baby here in the states. :ph34r: ;)

~ I want a baby! (Have I mentioned that before?! :P)

~ I have to find something to wear to my boyfriend's youngest sister's high school graduation. It's on the 26th. I really don't want to spend money on something new but I highly doubt I will find something that fits me in my closet.

[kamoke]

My exam was super easy today. if anything I may have written too much and gotten extra marks.. ;) :lol:

i thought there were some boneless skinless chicken breasts here but i was wrong. Looks like hamburgers pour moi

the sun is amazing today. i wish it were like this more often..

[gwensmom]

A social worker from the place that has kept Gwen on a waiting list for almost 7 years is coming in 45 minutes to do yet another assessment.

No, there has been no miracle cure for dead brain cells so she is still handicapped!

I am not fixing our hair or putting on makeup. I did clean some things that looked really bad, but otherwise we are going to look as pitiful as possible. :P

Is this is funny as I thought it was? I see big blinking doe eyes just reading it...

[Skilyne]

Well today has been fun. <_< I just returned from the emergency room...I was in the middle of work when all of a sudden I got a terrifically sharp pain in my side. I could hardly move and it hurt to breathe. Then I started getting chills. The guys were quite concerned and wanted to call 911, but I agreed instead to go to the hospital. By time I got there, my fever was 102.1, and the pain was shooting up and down my right leg.

They don't know what is wrong with me. I've been put on some pain meds, given stuff for the fever, and I am not to lift or move anything...mostly for the rest of the day I am to lie here in bed on my back.

I hope it is nothing serious.

[sarahkate]

~ Skilyne - that must have been scary! I hope everything is ok, and hope you will feel better soon!

~ I have been considering going to see a doctor (which is something I pretty much never do) because I have had strange pains in my legs. I haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks because the pain wakes me up nearly every night. It's turning me into a hypochondriac wondering if I have diabetes or cancer or something. Still, I am too scared & stubborn to go to a doctor.

~ I miss OHPossum. I wonder what she has been up to lately. (Not that it has anything to do with health or anything :P ... just something I was thinking about)

[chunkymonkey]

Feel better skilyne. Jeez that is scary when things like that happen.


I feel quite small today., and scattered.

I did indeed like that ground turkey so I bought more to make a turkey loaf.

I have a gyno appointment tomorrow (4th one in 6 weeks) <_<

Robyn, is mid-July when you will find out whether it is a girl or a boy?
the perinatologist need sto know in mid-july if we will do the amnio- then it will be booked for the first week of august.... and then we'll find out the sex... and a whole lotta time later, after the genetic stuff, if baby is affected..... i think they can get the sex right away though.... it takes weeks to months for the genetic stuff, unless they have already found where the defect lies (on the chromosome)... which means they would have done some kind of testing with harrison back in winnipeg.... which i dont' recall them doing, though a lot of that first two months is such a blur..... if they didn't do it, then harrison has to get bloodwork done to determine the chromosomal damage.....

i think that was 3 fact... even though i didn't number.... ;)

I used spice cake and white cake...baked them as directed on the package then crumbled them in a NEW UNUSED litter box. Added smashed vanilla wafers (tinted green with food coloring) and 2 packages of already-made vanilla pudding. The turds were melted tootsie rolled that I molded to look like "the real thing."
I served the whole shebang up with a CLEAN UNUSED pooper scooper.
Believe it or not, my MOTHER came up with this recipe!

The boys loved it! They were screaming with fake disgust as they put their "turds" in their mouths. Each boy was vying for the biggest turd in the box, but that honor went to my son...since he was the Birthday boy!

Some of the mother's thought it was a great idea and dug right in...others just kind of looked at it like it was the real thing and passed. You can probably guess that the ones who passed on the litterbox cake were also the ones who passed on the "Mother's Only" go-cart race!


I'll post a picture of the cake as soon as I get the party pics developed!

[Curlita]

I love being here with you people. Everyone is so lively today.

I hope that Skilyne is taking care of herself! That sounds scary.

My husband went to the doctor today and found that 1) his spleen is fine, just bigger than normal spleens and 2) he has bruised and possible broken a rib, but should be fine. No lymphoma, no malaria.

[nymphette]

1: LILAC, i LOVe the birthday cake idea!!!! :yay: for mommas!!!! i have to do spongebob for julian this year... <yawn>

2: do i also get to do kaitlyn and joshua's?????

3: i see you indigo.....

[Curlita]

Something about the sentence, "My husband has a REALLY big spleen," makes me giggle.

I bumped into an estranged friend at the post office today. We had not spoken in four years.

She gave me her card. I'm not sure what to think or do. Hmmm.

[chunkymonkey]

Lilac makes me laugh because who here would have thought that the box wasn't NEW UNUSED? :rofl:

:o A button just fell off of my shirt.

I should learn how to sew. Well I can sew, but it's not anything to be proud of.

[nymphette]

1: yay for mr. curlita being (mostly) okay!!! i cant' imagine a broken rib.... ACK!!!

2: skilyne, did they check your appendix???? i am sure that pain down the leg is a sign/symptom... plus fever/chills and pain in the side... :(

3: i am putting off responsibility today.... for as long as humanly possible....

i typed hunan first... now i want chinese food..... how sad is that???

[Sirius]

They don't know what is wrong with me. I start to wonder what emergency rooms are for...I've been to two different ones (for randomly passing out)...eight hours later "we think you dehydrated" yes, um, I drink about 100 ounces of water a day...(really i do, i go through at least four of the 24oz bottles of water a day)

oh and they always advise that i "have someone watch me" for a while. Watch for what they can never specify.

I love the medical profession. <_<

i second that.... the more you deal with them, the less your faith.....

there must be some kind of theorem for that....

okay, time to be mom again... i've ignored the restless natives long enough..... <sigh>

[Curlita]

I'll third the opinion of medical pros. It scares me that some folks (like my mom) go to the Dr. like they are God and will be able to make everything better.

Critical, skeptical thinking is always a good idea! It pays to be your own advocate.

In lieu of a third fact, I will get off my soap box and go think about dinner.

One mother wouldnt let her son eat it either. Her reasoning: He was ALLERGIC TO CATS!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I explained that everything was NEW UNUSED but he was still not permitted to partake.

Some people..... :wacko:

[Larrissa]

there are so many people reading this right now, i just have to post. it would be cheating to not post.

my sister and i blast loud music from the satellite and jig around the living room like morons. its alot of fun.

my mommas sick so i wont be turning in the pile of applications today ... whew. now i have to stress until tomorrow. itll be okay.

rustell, have you seen the picture of the balls/bump yet? its still there so im not sure if you decided it wasnt offensive enough or just hadnt seen it. :lol:

<_< about making fun of my dirty hippie habits. phoo to you!

[gwensmom]

I love cake and I would eat it even if it looked like a litter box.

Stargal rocks. she made some stickers for me extra fast.

The social worker called and has been delayed. Gwen is acting way too calm and not irritable like she has been for two days. Usually this would be good, but we need to look bad for this social worker. Maybe she will get hungry and start yelling and whining again!

[Skilyne]

It can't be my appendix, because I don't have that anymore.

I wish it were though, so that I would know what was wrong!

I'm actually a little bit scared, but I am trying to not worry about it. I just hate being in pain with no apparent reason. The pain itself isn't even the thing that really bothers me...it is the fact that I also have a fever.

my sister and i blast loud music from the satellite and jig around the living room like morons. its alot of fun.

my mommas sick so i wont be turning in the pile of applications today ... whew. now i have to stress until tomorrow. itll be okay.

rustell, have you seen the picture of the balls/bump yet? its still there so im not sure if you decided it wasnt offensive enough or just hadnt seen it. :lol:

<_< about making fun of my dirty hippie habits. phoo to you!
Don't you want to report it -- to everyone?!?!?

:huh: :o :D :blink:

Oh, DEAR! I bet he's the one that gets picked on in gym class, and it's all his mother's fault for having her knickers on too tight!

Sarah, you're cracking me up. Why does Gwen need to scare the social worker?

Okay, now I'm really going to go start being productive.

[indigo]

I have been working very hard today (just not on my job <_< ).

I am having trouble with my resume (which I am revamping so as to find another job which I do not hate quite so much as this one)

I am sincerely hoping that nymphette will be making cakes for my kids' parties even though I want her to make the cakes for the "Friends" parties and not just for the "Family" party. ^_^

[nymphette]

1: last post and i gotta get outta here!!!!

2: though i dont' know where i am going or what i am doing....

3: i do know that i am not taking julian to the museum... because he would NOT let me close my eyes for ten minutes and take a quick nap!!!! he's such a little instigator lately.......

[Larrissa]

sooooooo lilac. you better post pictures of your kickass cake, or i may have to tell ....

i have done NOTHING productive today.

and now i will do more of this nothing.

[gwensmom]

We have to look haggard so the social worker will write that we need some $$ to get respite care.

I won't have to fake it!

The trick is to look bad enough so they give you help without looking so bad they want to take your kid away from you. :P

[kamoke]

I tried to paint today but i guess i just wasn't feelin it. the lack of music may have had something to do with it as well

I hope everyones health clears up.. ill health of the body only leads to ill health of the mind, and we don't need that here :)

its 7:00. i think i need a nap, that exam must have drained me

[siafu]

there is repudiation.

retraction of the repudiation, which it must be said, has to be timely.

and inability to perform, which is performance of services for a thing

what crap.

[thunderstorm_19]

- 10 pages to catch up on... eeks...

- yes, i am back from camping

- i had over 50 bulk emails waiting.

[Larrissa]

:blink: big words :blink:

i may have to go arting. im feeling unproductive.

http://img52.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Larrissa/mail.jpg
its 3:30pm and this is still sitting in my mailbox. argh!

[indigo]

I wish I could figure out how to fix this darn resume!

I was going to call nymphette but it was exactly 3:00 and I knew she would be busy.... (or on the phone with mr. nymphette LOL)

I am feeling kinda sad and low today. :(

[Curlita]

indigo, what is your resume trouble? do you wanna send it to me and maybe I can help?

dinner is a cassoulet. It is in the oven. This is not the right season for putting things in the oven and leaving them there.

Now I must go tidy the house. The real estate agent is coming and I want our house to look fabulously valuable (maybe if it is clean enough, she won't notice that the fridge is on the porch).

[indigo]

Curlita: I am trying to revamp it and I can't seem to fit everything on teh (supposedly recommended) three pages. I have cut out all I can cut out and made the font as small as possible without making it too hard to read. Any advice? Is it really true that your resume should be no longer than 3 pages; references included?

I have closed my resume for the day and will try to fix it tomorrow.

Only one more hour of hell to go.

[Cuilanië]

Hello!

I split a bottle of white wine with my mother.

This shows in my worse-than-usual typo trouble.

I hate shopping.

[Curlita]

Indigo, I say 2 pages is the limit unless you have extensive experience in something. If you want to send it to me, maybe I can help. My addy is rapunzal3 at yahoo dot com.

Rustell, et. al., re: the fridge on the porch. We have an older home (well, 1910, which makes is pretty darn old) and a small kitchen. The fridge is actually out the back door on the back porch, which is enclosed. But still. It's essentially on the back porch.

I tell my neighbors that if they are ever hungry, they are welcome to wander onto the porch and have a snack, since the fridge is accessible even if the back door is locked.

[indigo]

Thanks Curlita... I just might do that. But it would just be a cut and pasted into e-mail thing (unless you use Lotus Word Pro) because I do not have access to Microsoft Office here. :(

I know there is NO WAY I could make my resume only 2 pages!!! (does that include references?)

31 minutes until I can go home!

What is that? sounds good.

The social worker visit went great. she is putting us down for "urgent need" and said we should hear something in 30 days. We just might get it this time because some people won a suit against the state to make the state pay for stuff they are supposed to. I have no idea how much $$ we are talking about. Of course Gwen acted like a perfect angel instead of the hellion she has been all weekend!

A thunderstorm blew through here and lightening struck somewhere nearby. Our lights flickered a few times but didn't go out.

Curlita, you should watch a few episodes of Designed to Sell on HGTV. The show is about how to "stage" a house before you put it on the market. They say to put away personal items like family photos. This way it is easier for people to picture themselves in the house.

[siafu]

i'm making a yogurt marinade for meat. then i'm putting meat in it.

then i'm going to try to clean up some art stuff and make atc's.

i'm staying home tonight instead of going to church because i still feel allergic.

bonus: i have come to the conclusion that i may have to teach next year.

On A&E they have one called Sell This House and BBC America has House Doctor so the wealth of knowledge is endless and VERY enlightening.

I should be cleaning up my 'public' rooms and the office since a friend of ours is coming over to install Dreamweaver on my computer so I can take over the maintainence of my hubby's websites.

Anyone need a web designer in a few weeks? :)

[Curlita]

As far as I can figure, cassoulet is just French for casserole, and it usually has vegetables, beans, and sausage in it. Mine has white beans, carrots & zuke, and some chicken sausage. It will make for good leftovers for lunch tommorow, too.

I've been clearing away our clutter - I've already put a lot of the photos and knicky knacks. The house won't actually go on the market until after July 1, because we still need to get the exterior painted.

Indigo, I wasn't including references in the two page total.

BONUS: I'm glad the social worker visit went well, Sarah! Maybe a non-hellion child is more sympathetic than a hellion one... :)

[Skilyne]

I'm laying here in some narcotic-induced haze. The painkillers they gave me at the hospital are rendering me incapable of pretty much anything useful.

I'm feeling a bit less concerned over today's events though...although I do suspect that is the medicine talking.

I'm really glad to hear the social worker's visit went well Sarah!

i am sure that kids will enjoy them as much/more than the 'great-' aunts and uncles... and the cousins, well.......... uh yeah........

;)

1: i had a caesar salad and a portobello and swiss 'burger' for supper tonight, it was very yummy....

2: i usually make my own veggie burgers, but being pregnant makes me lazy and i break down and buy <GASP> convenience food......

3: in my freezer right now are pizza pops and corn dogs for julian.... <_< because i'd say half the time lately i am too tired to make either lunch or supper and so i cheat.....

4: bad bad BAD mommy....

because harrison's feeds are at 11 and 3 and 7.... which practially GUARANTEES at least ONE phone call during the time i would be busy hooking him up to his feeding pump and getting him settled in....

most of these phone calls (from various people) usually start with 'hey, i know you're busy with harrison right now, but blah blah blah, blah blah, blah....'

<sigh> like it makes their topic of conversation any more important to me since they know i am busy at that moment and they should n't be calling me???? uh huh......

:yay: fingers crossed that you get your respite sarah!!!! muchly needed respite!!!! :yay:

and of COURSE gwen was an angel for the worker.... :P thye KNOW... that's why they sleep when it's dad's watch and are hell on wheels when it's OURS!!!!

i might have respite on thursday- they tried for today but no go.... well, i could have gotten 2 hours from 2-4 this afternoon but i turned it down becuse that would have meant us driving back into the city for an hour and a half, coming home (again!) to pick up harrison and hten going almost right back in to pick chris up from work.... so.... more trouble than it's worth?? you bet... which is why we stopped having respite the first time... and they were supposed to find us weekend/evening workers, but..... yeah.....

of course......

[medeous]

the judges of the WB's superstar are surely going to hell.
i like makeover and home decorating shows.

[gwensmom]

:angry: :yell: and mostly :'(

I came home from ballet to find that our BRAND NEW television set and the good VCR have been fried by lightening. It's a total loss and not covered by warranty.

I quit. I give up. This is just more than I can stand right now.

[Larrissa]

i cheat

cheat

and am paranoid

:blink:

[Sirius]

Not warranty, but what about Homeowner's Insurance?

I came home and Brian was watching tv (not rubbing it in Sarah, just letting you know why I am online.)

yech. feel like going back out into the world but it is already 8pm

[Sirius]

I did a good deed today.

And I actually felt guilty about the good deed.

hmph

three hour naps are bad to take at 7pm. I have an exam tomorrow morning, and I'm not at all tired anymore..

I haven't been feeling at all up for arting in the past little while.. i hope this thing leaves soon

[hammerquill]

I think Siriustell's thesaurus must be kinda old. It doesn't list LOL, LMAO or ROFL.

I am just imagining the spinoff Q&Q thread: Thesaurus Entries.

I think we should circulate a petition of complaint to the storm gods on Gwensmom's behalf. Maybe siafu can write it in threatening lawyer language so they'll take notice.

[Sirius]

Yes...Siafu needs to get started on that...write a letter to the gods!

I signed a petition yesterday even though I thought the man being pad to have people sign the petition looked like he was both high and without a home.

It may cheer Gwensmom to know that a child cried today because I wasn't there. Okay, that didn't come out right. I made friends with a 5 year old, when she discovered I had left the building (for ten minutes so I could bring back food) she started crying because she wanted me to be there. Yes, it made me feel all gushy. (Still not running out and reproducing though).

[ibiddy_boo]

:hug: Sarah. That doesn't seem fair at all, but kamoke is right.....you're a good person and good things will happen soon.

i'm feeling rather ill tonight and can't sleep, so here i sit.

i think i'll make some chamomile tea.

[Sirius]

siriustell's thesaurus was dictionary.com cut and paste, cut and paste.

i wrote four pages on the American Revolution on Saturday.

according to the county assessor who decides how much i should pay in property taxes, the value of my house has increased $40,000 in the past 4 years...

[ibiddy_boo]

the tea isn't helping much, but it tastes good.

i still can't sleep.

would like to put some tunes on, but don't want to wake hubby.

[Larrissa]

i am here. :ph34r: and have until next tuesday to have employment, or else i must move. again. to my dads.

cheat cheat cheat - the stepdad and company are midnight bowling, so i have to come and say hello.

i made atc's today. and a couple strange and useless little sewn things. they are cute though.

the sister and i have hung out alot together today, we traded music, she gets a cd, i get a cd. she likes some of it. was enjoyable to hear her ask for a brian eno song :D

[ibiddy_boo]

i believe i've got a bug hangup.

i killed 3 of the evil nasties while walking to and from the mailbox today.

i carry a butterfly net when i walk, so that anything that tries to attack me, i swipe at and usually catch in the net. if i don't catch it, i run like hell.

[ibiddy_boo]

It's 1:24 am...i really need to get to bed.

It's also raining very hard. The sound of rain helps me sleep.

i guess i'll go. Goodnight everyone. :)

[kamoke]

3:45 am here now. If i go to bed now i could probably get three hours sleep

I want to make something with the Krylon box i got from work, but I just don't know what..

I have plenty of things to do but I don't want to do any of them. Since it is late i will make a small list because apparently the more over tired you are the more effort you seem to have.
·start self evaluation for stupid work
·finish about 5 VKs
·go to sleep
·study for more exams
·get availability changed at work
·paint pictures for:
I)brandi
II)heather & lisa
III)aunt pat
·clean this dump up
·study for remaining finals

[Larrissa]

so i sat in a tree for two hours keeping watch for the arrival of the stepdad so the sister could play online. an old catalpa. love that tree.

shes considering joining nervousness :huh:

i should get offline now... really.

she just came in and my heart went to my throat :blink:

[Larrissa]

so now im just wasting time :evil:

i have to make up for all those heart guys with lots of fire demons ... :lol:

the lookout is going pee :huh: i better be careful.

[kamoke]

:lol: its like you're a diamond thief

4:10am now

im listening to the radio, i dont do that to much. K-rock. classic rock is amazing

[placebo]

Well I have never posted on this thread.
Or usually on any these quizzes&question threads.
..maybe because I hate my incorrect english <_<

[kamoke]

We love incorrect english! :D

so I got to bed at around 5 this morning. Then mom decides to wake me up at 6 <_< I didn't get up. so I get up 45 minutes late. What an amazing sleep... ;)

oh, so im in the shower with the music on [loud] and i hear the appartment buzzer. Im all "WTF". So i get out, reluctantly. I let them in a nd just jump back in. I hear it buzzing again.. so im all "f that". I then hear a woman saying something. So i tell her to come in [ :D ]. Still, the yammering continues. I go out and the landlord biyatch is there tellin me to turn my music down. Im pissed right now. Shes like "can you turn that music down, I can hear it out here" im all "can you get out my appartment!" then when Im in the shower AGAIN I hear the phone ring... <_<

just to let you know, when my showers are ruined I am pissy

[kamoke]

just to let you know, when my showers are ruined I am pissy

exam in ten minutes or so

Its sunny and windy, in cautious though



GOOD DAY EVERYONE! :D

[ibiddy_boo]

Larrissa you sat in a tree? You're so funny!

It's another excessively humid day.

Good luck with your exam kamoke!

[kamoke]

Im laughing at my exam right now, well, a mental laugh. It was exceptionally easy, or maybe im just so darn intelligent ;) :lol:

it's just starting to rain out

I feel like I might be able to make something today

[Lilac]

I'm at the office, tired as hell. I just can't seem to keep my eyes open! Have to go to a job site after lunch....hopefully I'll be awake by then.

I'm getting extremely nervous because I know I'm going to have to tell my boss that I'm starting my own company. Nobody here knows anything about this yet. I figure I'll give them a month's notice before I quit.

I'll probably be quite poor once I set off on my own. I'm used to this income. Hopefully I'll make out okay. Actually, I'm pretty certain that I'll be "okay", or I would never have even made the first move to venture out on my own. It's still scary, though!


***Hello to my newest sister, Skilyn! (I just now read back through the posts!!!)

[Larrissa]

well no trouble for me. but there will be trouble if i am not employed by next tuesday. :yell: grrrrrrrGRRRRR ARRGH!

morning to you all :wave:

cindy, i like sitting in that tree, i do it all the time. :D

its so neat having a sister to be sneaky with. the other sister when we were young would be MEAN to me and we never had any fun. now when im an "adult" i get to play with the other sister.

i am not growing up any time soon, thank you.

[Skilyne]

I took off work today, because I am still not sure what is going on with me. The doctors aren't either (AGHHH!). But then last night, I kept waking up in cold sweats. Yeah...got to admit...I'm a little bit concerned here.

Hello back to you...my new sister Lilac!

I'm sorry to hear about your TV and VCR Sarah. Kamoke is right though, you are a god person. It's bound to get better soon! Hugs... :hug: :hug: :hug:

~ I have catalpa trees in my yard too! They have pretty white flowers all over them right now.

~ Damn it's hot out today. I half considered turning on the AC in my car when I went out at lunch, but I convinced myself not to since I wasn't going to be in the car for very long. I almost never use the AC in my car since it's such a huge waste of gas.

~ Ocean Spray Juice & Tea (http://www.oceanspray.com/prod_juicetea.asp) is GOOD! I highly recommend Wildberry flavor. I'm sure the others are good too, but that's the only one I have had so far.

[ibiddy_boo]

Must be something in the air Skilyne...i'm sick also. Last night it was a tummy ache. Dang thing is still upset today, and now i'm dizzy on top of it all.

That means no trip to town.

Which means i don't get the parcel that's waiting at the post office for me.

[Skilyne]

Ocean Spray Juice & Tea is GOOD! I highly recommend Wildberry flavor. I'm sure the others are good too, but that's the only one I have had so far. I agree there! It is really good stuff.

I hope you get to feeling better ibiddy_boo!!!

I didn't get any fun mail today. :( I was kind of hoping...

[Larrissa]

well i am off! i should be off. i am going now. PULLYOURSELFAWAY *rip* aahhhh! it hurts! no please, let me stay :'(

would he have asked that if him and her had been around to read my posts the last month?? :huh: this i truly wonder.

NO NO NO i dont want to be a slave. please dont make me. i have morals damnit! MORALS! i dont want to work. sooooo much. any suggestions?

[nymphette]

1: hugs to everyone who's sick.. :(

2: and gwensmom- yes, shouldn't house insurance cover that??? though, who knows....

3: when we bought a new bed a few years ago, the mattress warranty was NOT warrantied for 'ACTS OF GOD'......... <_< so like if a tornado ripped it out of our house, and it got set on fire by lightning and then soaked and ruined the rest of the way by a freak tsunami in saskatchewan, then too bad... no warranty.... :P

[ibiddy_boo]

Ooooh...thanks for that tidbit sarahkate! i saw the commercial for the Ocean Spray juice/tea, and have been curious. i shall buy some next trip to town.

i began (another) diet today. So far so good....unless you're going to count the small bag of chips i ate, then it's not so good. Chocolate doesn't count though, does it? i mean seriously, can one be expected to completely give that up?? i think not!

This desk is in desperate need of cleaning and organizing, and i'm tired of looking at the mess. i might clean it up in a few minutes. But then i might not.

[sarahkate]

~ Don't worry too much Larrissa - jobs usually all suck, but your coworkers might be really cool people, people just like you who don't want to be there but they have to because they need money & blah...blah...blah. So, you never know...you might actually have FUN wherever you work. I would recommend trying to work someplace that isn't a big corporation, go with a privately owned small business if you can because you are more likely to have a nice boss who will get to know you & care about you & they will probably be less strict so you will get to goof off & have fun! Good luck!

~ I think many home owners insurance policies won't cover "acts of god" either, which is ridiculous. So, if you accidentally burn down your house because you knock over a candle they will cover it, but if lightning strikes and your house bursts into flames then you are screwed. Damn insurance companies! :angry:

Edited because:

~ Ha! I forgot to post a 3rd fact (though those previous 2 were quite long enough anyway) so I will say (now that I see Cindy's last post) that of course chocolate doesn't count...it's good for you...it makes you happy so no one should be able to cut it out of their diet! ;) :P

[ibiddy_boo]

Thank you sarahkate :hug:

And Larrissa...it's true about the job....once you get to know everyone there and get into a routine, you'll be much more comfortable and will realize that it's no big deal at all. It's just the initial thought of going through the motions of applying, interviews, etc. i'm beaming lots of good wishes your way. :)

Ok.....no more games for me until this desk is tidy and organized.

[Larrissa]

yeah yeah, you all say the same things. :P :P :D :D i know the points are valid but it doesnt stop the beating in my chest and anxiety that clouds my brain. thanks though. :wub:

i wonder if its "clouddead" or "cloudead" i have heard it put both ways.

so yes, i am here again. leaving for the bus stop in fifteen minutes.

[indigo]

I wish I could play on here all day. Every time I leave and then come back there are soooo many new pages of TRF that if I were to go back and go through them I would not have time to post anything! :D

It is cool and cloudy outside and FREEZING cold in here! (I hate when the AC gets blasted in here... <_<

I am eating a yummy pasta salad that I made all by myself. (Yes I did nymphette so just you never mind about it!!!) ^_^

[Skilyne]

I wish you all the luck Larrissa!

I am eating fried rice and warm croissants...and chocolate milk. Very good.

I am getting sleepy again...might be time for another nap.

[chunkymonkey]

warm croissants goooooood

self help books baaaaaad

ditto to sarahkate's advice to work someplace small. Usually the atmosphere, etc is more casual and relaxed. That's always a good thing.

[Skilyne]

I agree with the small workplace. I work with 14 men...so a shop of 15 employees is nice and small. We all get along for the most part, the benefits are great, and my boss is pretty laid-back...most of the time.

It is a beautiful day outside. It figures it would be, since I am stuck in bed. :P The cruelty of it all!!!

Today is Tuesday.

[ibiddy_boo]

My friend is sick....scary sick! :(

i'm very worried....especially so because her phone is shut off and i cannot get ahold of her. :(

:'(

i wonder what nymphette's company vegetables are.

1: make a white sauce with 2 T butter and 2 T flour and 1 1/2 cups milk... add 4-8 (however much you want... :) oz cream cheese until melted... meanwhile, measure out 10 cups mixed frozen veggies (i'm lazy and won't chop for this casserole!!!) and chop a 1/2 medium onion and a stalk or two of celery finely... add to the sauce with 1-2 cups grated cheese (cheddar is good, but jalapeno jack is better!!!!)... put in a greased casserole dish and make topping: 1 1/2-2 cups crushed snack (ritz) crackers, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and 1/2 tsp garlic powder- drizzle with 2 T melted butter and mix well... top and cook at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour-45 minutes....

2: though i am pretty sure it's high in carbs!!! all those cracker crumbs on top especially!!!

3: it's soooo yummy..... oh yeah....

[kamoke]

i was raised by women

i am in the middle there or something. I've got the parts but my mind is woman

mom finally got some food today. I want ice cream though, or cold fruit, or anything cold i think

[siafu]

nymphette, that sounds awesome! i'll be sure to squeeze it onto the menu before i cut the carbs again.

i finished another lecture.

i need to make phone calls.

[Larrissa]

[kamoke]

ADD is kickass!

im not a huge fan of math though

[Larrissa]

i would curse for months if lightning fried my stuff. i like my stuff.

whats for dinner? im hungry.

[Larrissa]

so now im wasting the rest of my time. an hour left and what to do? oooooh yeah kingdom of loathing, i could play that.

i could send long babbling pm's to people

i could sit and watch the cursor blink

[siafu]

sometimes i think my stepson is an ass.

i am an ass sometimes too.

being an ass sucks.

[Larrissa]

i agree about being an ass sucking. im an ass often.

like about this LMAO which was due five days ago, but shes being nice about it.

i should spend less time being an ass, but i dont really know how. maybe i could just shut up ever once in awhile.

[indigo]

I just noticed that nymphette joined nervousness on her birthday! :birthday:

I also noticed that Larissa has over 4000 posts and has only been a member for about 3 months! :yay:

I am envious of Larissa's number of posts... :blush:

[Cuilanië]

Good day today.

Can't stay here very long... :(

Hope everyone's doing OK!

[siafu]

there's eve!

eve, i was thinking about you while i was making dinner, hoping you were fine.

and now i know you're fine and having a good day! :yay:

[kamoke]

im eating the leftover wedge fries

theres a math problem on the top of the box, i was trying to show mom something

i didn't wash my hands.. i dont care ;)

[kamoke]

theres a little beetle walking accross the floor

im wondering where its going

instead of killing it I will just let it go on it's way. I dont think it has any friends

[ibiddy_boo]

i just got off the phone with Meika!

She's so cool and sweet and nice and funny as all heck, and well...she's Meika!

This has really made my night! :)

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm feeling very lonely... and I can't even call my mom 'cause she's still in Australia.

2. I am trying very hard not to cry, as I am sitting in a semi-public area and don't feel like explaining myself to strangers.

3. This whole moving-away-for-summer thing was a perfectly good idea in February when I accepted the job.

[ibiddy_boo]

Sending you a :hug: Dalmaney

Being away from home and lonesome isn't much fun at all.

You're just going to have to stay online and play in ness so everyone can take your mind off it.

[Larrissa]

i passed 4 thousand without notice

i have 3 minutes

hello!

:wave:

[velvetcrawdad]

I have a super nasty sunburn

You mentioned not answering your phone in one of your first posts if I remember correctly...

[tanagee]

My hubby is having issues with one of his friends, and while I was cooking dinner I came to the realization that while I do get kinda lonely having no REAL friends to do things with on a regular basis, it is much less complicated.

Examples:

My best friend (and I use that term lightly) since Jr High scammed me to get me to put her on my CC I never used so that she would have one "just in case" for when she went to Ireland...she paid for her trip by taking out $4000 in cash advances, then lost her job and stuck me with the bill.

Another friend since Jr High called me up and asked if she could borrow $1200 to pay her mortgage...when I said I couldn't she asked if my mom could do it. WTF?!?

This same friend tried to set me up with other guys while I was dating my hubby because he didn't like her.

[siafu]

those people were mean, tana!

i am thinking about getting a degree in art law. but i'd have to come to LA to do it.

then we could hang out, but i won't borrow money.

i wonder is rustell likes to eat her words.... are they yummy????

I and wearing a tie-dyed skirt today.
er. usually eating ones words comes after they make a verbal mistake....

didn't happen...

glad to have the cds now...

[Astabeth]

I was trying to remember through the last four pages who all I wanted to send good wishes to but I gave up so :hug: :hug: to everybody.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you respond to a minor comment from four pages ago. No one remembers what you're talking about.

I have a bug phobia. I won't squish them or let anyone use anything of mine to squish them. I don't want anyone's shoes on my floor if they've been used to squish a bug. If I see one, and no one's there to rescue me, I have to watch him until someone arrives. If not, he'll get away and there's no telling where he'll be. If I can, I set a cup upside down over them until my hubby gets home. But only if they move slow and don't jump. I prefer that they be flushed down the toilet.

[Astabeth]

I am CAUGHT UP!!!

But I can't send anything until Friday when we have $ (I had to raid Lorelei's piggy bank to buy caffeine today - BAD mommy).

I have 10 things ready to mail!

[Cuilanië]

:wave: Theresa! (and everyone!)

- Ever since I spent Sunday convinced it was Monday, I've been confused. NTS: today is Wednesday.

- I'm feeling a bit stiff from all the walking I've been doing. I really need to get out more.

- Sometimes I think having a car would be nice, but most of the time it would only be a hassle.

[kflorathorne]

Yesterday I left my job working at a gas station.

I also decided to move out and live with my Pagan god/goddess parents.

I'm having bite sized Kit Kats for breakfast.

[Larrissa]

"all the time one minute" well damnit im not going to sign off immediately at your freaking call, ya jerk. one minute. yeah, hold on!

its dark and cold outside today. 8:00 am.

last night was the first night in months that i didnt spend at LEAST an hour arting. it was strange to remember before nervousness took over my life, i would go for weeks without making art :o what a thing to admit. i like making stuff and it was a little bit sad to feel like just laying and listening to music. oh well.

[gwensmom]

Good news- I think the VCR is ok and only the TV is fried. We had that TV for 3 months. <_<

Homeowners insurance would probably cover it but I'm afraid that if we submit a claim they will raise our rates.

Gwensdad bought new surge protector yesterday.

I had to log off early last night because there was more thunder and lightening

I have started on a Christmas gift! It is a hat for a baby in the colors of his dad's hockey team. It is mostly dark navy blue and I have to wear glasses and sit under a lamp to see well enough to knit it.

I had to work yesterday on my day off and couldn't take today off because I am behind.

But I'm leaving early to get my hair cut AND go to the chiropractor. I will be feeling much better after a hair and back adjustment :)

Tanna- those people are not friends!

[kamoke]

macaronie for lunch, no sauce, just macaronie

i have to work in three hours and 15 minutes ;)

my exam was good. I ended up just ranting on the last question and not even answering it properly, but my teacher loves me and will give me a good mark on it

[kamoke]

I hope CB is having a good time with him

adbusters is an amazing magazine, pick it up sometime :D

Im going to do something borderline productive

[Skilyne]

Yes Kamoke, I agree. Adbusters is a great magazine.

I stayed home from work again today, because I didn't want to push it and have whatever happened happen all over again. I'll go back tommorow. I have to...I miss it. Go figure. :P

I just took a nice hot shower...that always feels good. I smell much better too!

[Larrissa]

i have never read an adbusters magazine, though i think ive seen their site. theres a couple sites to do with the media, i dont remember exactly what they were, a few with the altered billboards and all that ... :huh:

i wrote a letter to rustell.

im trying to remember to call people by their real names.

[Skilyne]

:evil: My period is the DEVIL SPAWN :evil:

Ok...just had to let that out.

I want some mail! I've not gotten any for almost a week! (well, I got 2 bills, but they don't count)

[Larrissa]

its still dark and cold. i like the cold sunny days or the warm dark days. not this!

the coffee did nothing for me. maybe it stopped me from falling asleep involuntarily, i dont know.

i have to go edit away a post i keep forgetting to edit away now.

[Curlita]

Robyn, I'm sorry I missed dinner last night, but next time you make that casserole, let me know and I will show up on your doorstep!! You are always making nummy food!

Larrissa and I have the same birthday, but she is exactly ten years younger than me.

Tana deserves much, much better friends than she has.

[ibiddy_boo]

:hug: Hello everyone :)

Tana i have to agree....those people are not your friends....shame on them! :angry:

Dang Robyn....next time i go home, i'm going to call & find out what time supper is on and race over there! i can't cook to save my soul, and i love casseroles and veggies!

Curlita, how are you and baby today?

[ibiddy_boo]

:spank: flood control

Skilyne if you pm me your addy, i will send you mail. :)

i just over ate. So much for my diet. <_<

[amylyn]

I hope the crazy guy who stalks me doesn't go into my work today!!!!!!

I hate doctors for perscribing narcotics to addicts.
What are they thinking, that just because the addict is really in pain he won't abuse the pills?

I am so hungry, and my freezers full of food, but I can't eat.

[Larrissa]

amy, im sorry. :hug:

cindy i would cook for you when we hang out. what do ya want?

i have so many nervous little fidgeting habits i cant keep track of them.

[ibiddy_boo]

Why can't you eat, amylyn?

You seriously have a stalker??? In my lifetime to date, i've had 3. Very scary stuff i'll tell ya.

Larrissa you're a gem! i eat anything but sour cream and dust bunnies :D And hanging out with you would be a whack load of fun!

[Larrissa]

my day began with one of the first words i read to be "sexcellent" :lol:

my teeth feel grungy but i just brushed them

my momma wears a robe and her boob just showed :o i SO dont appreciate that.

[ibiddy_boo]

i need to go hit the couch.

i somehow managed to injure my back yesterday, and it's gotten very stiff from sitting here.

My boobs aren't big enough to pop out of my robe. :(

[Larrissa]

my moms arent either, they more like hang out.

so the sister is seriously considering joining. what would this mean!!?? :huh:

i want more smilies, damnit.

[Lilac]

Just popping in to say "Hello" to everyone! :wave:

I don't have much to say...

Other than: It's too damn HOT!!!

[nymphette]

1: it hasn't rained yet today and it supposedly won't....

2: that's about the third day of non-rainy weather we've had since the snow melted.... <_<

3: and it's very hot outside!!! julian and i had a picnic with an early lunch.... though we couldn't sit on the lawn on a blanket becuse it's way too wet...

i got a bit of a burn and i was only out for half an hour and it wasn't even that hot yet!!!

[Curlita]

Cindy, thanks for asking after me! Baby has some kind of major project going on in there, either that or he is learning how to tap dance. I had a dream last night that I was bouncing him on my lap. :wub:

I am well, but very angry with the student painters who were supposed to come pressure wash the house this morning and select paint colors with me. They never showed! I waited 45 minutes and was late to work! Bastards!

AND I left my work number with them and asked them to call to reschedule and they have not called me! :yell: I told J that he needs to deal with them now, because otherwise I am afraid that the Scary Pregnant Lady Hormones will rear their ugly head and I will start stuffing painting equipment into orifices.

BONUS: this is the first time I've felt that using the :yall: icon was warranted. It feels good.

~ *visions of a furious Curlita with her cute pregnant belly, attacking those slacker students with paint rollers and paint brushes. Oh my!* :rofl: :lol:

~ I don't like feeling like a snitch but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do...and in this case I felt like I had to do something. :ph34r: :(

~ I've been lurking here, but not posting much, all day. I have had a lot of work to do and I just couldn't get myself in the posting mood.

[Skilyne]

*sigh*...not much happening here. I finished up some ATCs, wrote a letter...stuff like that. At least I've accomplished a bit more today than yesterday!

I'm listening to the "Harry Potter" soundtrack...there are some tracks on there that are really pretty.

I am eating macaroni and cheese...homemade with extra cheese! YUM!

[siafu]

i made these wonderful vanilla cupcakes (http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/getrecipe.zsp?format=print&id=89751) last night. they were easy and good.

still doing remedies. bleh. at least the professor isn't so boring.

i said i wasn't cooking dinner tonight. heh. i'll try not to feel guilty about it. i sometimes need a break though--my hand has been getting weak from cutting and mixing.

[tanagee]

I think I am bleeding to death!

I agree that my ex-friends were really bad friends...that is why they are not friends of mine anymore.

Advice to all those girls graduating from HS or college...if you have a best friend; don't get an apartment/house together because chances are she will cease to be your friend by the time it's all over. (I don't know if it's the same for boys)

[tanagee]

I was so surprised to walk out to my mailbox and not see 15 envelopes filled with puzzle pieces. sarcasm

I am too much of an anal control freak who is a nice guy push over to run an LMAO.

Megan is trying to use my little Fiskars paper trimmer... is it bad that I haven't taken it away from her?

[Cuilanië]

:wave:

replevin is the recovery of specific personal property.

my pinky is numb.

[medeous]

i feel petty
oh so petty
oh so petty and bitter and snide

~ Awww! She is a little Nervous-er in training. :D

~ Eve's yawning smilie guy is so cute!

~ I'm supposed to be taking a vacation day from work tomorrow so that my sister and I can make/bake some stuff for my dad for father's day since tomorrow is the only day she has available because she is so busy with work and finals at school. I found out that one of my coworkers has to leave early tomorrow so now I have to call in the morning to find out if one of the other coworkers will be here (she has been out on vaca and should be back tomorrow) so if for some reason she isn't in then I have to come in which means no baking fun with my sister. <_<

[Curlita]

Tana, why do you think you are bleeding to death?!?!

We were never allowed to use Mom's fiskars when we were little. It was verboten!

I FINALLY got a call from the student painters! The little snot who was supposed to paint our house quit on Saturday and never called us! Now we need to wait and see when they can fit us in with another team. More :yell: ???

[indigo]

1: i believe you jodi.... doesnt' kraft make a KD style type of pasta salad???? just kidding!!!!
I RESENT the implication dear sister... :P Although I will admit that it was the inspiration behind my own pasta salad. I read the directions on the KD Pasta salad box and sai
