Three random facts:

[Cuilanië]

:hug: Tana... being allergic to banana bread sucks. :(

Sarah is NOT, repeat NOT a bad mommy. Everyone gets distracted sometimes. That's called human.

Sometimes it freaks me out a little to think that, had my marriage not gone down the drain, I'd probably have a toddler now. :blink:

[Cuilanië]

The great vanishing post mystery again. :rolleyes:

I had a tuna salad for dinner, but this time with tomatoes and carrots.

I wish that guy would stop hawking and spitting so disgustingly. It's GROSS.

[Cuilanië]

In fact, it's horrible. Sometimes he sounds like he's trying to spit his lungs out. (TMI, I know, I know...)

One monkey leg completed, the other on its way. The instructions for assembly are a bit sketchy, so there's lots of figuring out to do along the way.

I'm wearing a wide black velvet headband in an attempt to solve the hair-on-forehead-in-muggy-weather problem. I put it on while my hair was still wet, and the ends are curling over it quite nicely. :)

[tanagee]

I ate a piece of banana bread :o and so far I have not died :crossed:

I am basing my experiment on the fact that 2 years ago I was unknowingly given a strawberry-banana margarita and I had no reaction to the 'nanna.

On the one hand I am happy I did not have a reaction, but on the other hand it made my hubby think the wheezing was all in my head.

[Cuilanië]

The alcohol in one case, the baking in the other might make the difference by modifying whatever compound it is you're allergic to in bananas. Food and metabolism are delicate chemistries.

I had to help a nocturnal butterfly - gorgeous but creepy in the way it flew - find its way outside. This involved catching it in a rag, and I think I rubbed some of its scales off.

I'm going to bed soon - 'night everyone!

[Obsidian_Cat]

I once had a very severe reaction to an antibiotic, and I was hyper-sensitive for months afterwards.

I was very sad because nuts caused the reaction to come back, and I'd never had a reaction to nuts before!

Now nuts are ok again, but most antibiotics are not... :(

[Curlita]

I'm glad that Tana could eat a piece of banana bread. I LOVE nanner bread.

I'm also glad that my father is out of the hospital and okay.

I'm also glad to hear that someone is writing a bid for our house, which has been on the market all of 48 hours.

[Curlita]

I have restless legs. I hate that. It's the only pregnancy symptom that really makes me nuts.

I wish I'd gotten a half-caff mocha, as I'm on my way to an evening meeting and I don't know if I will be able to stay awake.

The baby is doing his afternoon calisthenics.

[siafu]

wooohoo curlita! congrats on your bid!!!!

i'm getting my haircut tomorrow. it's so on my nerves in the front. i have to go to a professional, or there will be problems.

honey's home. bye.

[Skilyne]

I get restless legs too...and I'm not even pregnant. Oh heaven help me when I am!!! :o I HATE those stupid restless legs!

I posted my picture on the picture thread...and I have uploaded a few more of my time in NYC. I can already tell I am going to become obsessed with posting photos one of these days, and I am going to have to buy myself a digital camera.

I am SO HAPPY for you Curlita...it's great to have a bid after only 48 hours! WOW!

[tanagee]

I am still not dead :yay:

I need a color cartridge for my printer

:rock: for Curlita's pending offer!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

It smells fishy outside

It rained today...lots of little earthworms popped up out of the ground...they're not looking to happy right now

When I was little and this happened I used to try to put them all back in the ground...It made sense at the time...

[velma]

Insomnia has become my nightly companion.

Last night I was channel surfing from informercial to infomercial.

My insomniac friend told me my favorite "X-Files" episode was on at the same time I was listening to women rave about the perfect skin foundation.

<_<

[Skilyne]

When I was little, my brother and I used to take gummi worms, bury them in the dirt, then dig them up and eat them. That went on until my Mom happened to notice that I was unusually interested in getting more gummi worms. :lol:

I am on my 3rd glass of chocolate milk this evening.

All day, I kept thinking it was Friday...and then when I realized it wasn't, I would feel slightly sad about it. Now, I keep thinking it is only Wednesday. My days are just all screwed up!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

I also forgot today was thursay...I was still stuck on wednesday 'till just now :P

Do I really have three random facts?

I don't think I really do...but I like to take up the space in this thread anyway :P

[Gingersmack]

I have much to and little time to do it.

I may be moving... again

I am okay with that :)

[Larrissa]

my lj is a book.

"wonky says" thats a little obvious. despite the "Anonymous" comment.

consenting adult sex is not a secret dude.

[gwensmom]

I am making some big bucks on ebay tonight! Too bad I am selling stuff from work and don't get to keep the money.

I'm about to die to know how Robyn and Harrison are.

Tanna, are you still with us? :unsure:

[kamoke]

I as well am making big bucks via ebay

I called her... and for possibly the first time in my life I was breathing deep and my heart was pumping so fast... there was no answer though..

I'm dying here..

[Gingersmack]

Damn, I ought to get an Ebay account.

I have several art dolls to make in the coming months.

It is still hot here!

[sarahkate]

~ Awww. That's so sweet. I wish there was a boy out there who was nervous about calling me. My boy & I are way, way, waaaay past the being-nervous-around-each-other-stage. :'(

~ N'ness just might be my new Thursday night hang out. Normally I would be in bed or be going to bed by now since normally I would have to work tomorrow but now I am working 4 days per week - 10 hours per day instead of 5 - 8 hour days. Fridays are my day off. YAY! I probably already mentioned that here a million times.

~ We signed up for DSL today. We should have it by next week. Woot! Speedy Internet!

[Lilac]

I'm in a crummy mood...my legs ache...my head hurts...I'm tired but I don't want to go to bed...It's hot...I wish I had a little weed...

But on the brighter side of things...I don't have to go into the office tomorrow. I'll be working from home!!!!!! Halleluja!

I sent out some Nervousness mail today, and it was about time!

[frizball]

I am going to florida with my dad tomorrow

I'll be gone till next weekend

Just wanted to say GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD BYE AND I'LL TALK TO EVERYONE WHEN I RETURN!!!!! :wave:


--Leah

[Curlita]

Thanks for the group enthusiasm on the house bid! I'm relieved, although it looks like the showings will continue for at least the next week, since e never know if something will fall through or not.

When I got home my husband was very grumpy because he had to spend the entire evening wandering around the streets of Seattle with our dog. "If it weren't for the dog I could at least go to a movie." I refrained (nobly) from pointing out that getting a dog was his idea.

Now I'm thirsty for chocolate milk, although I don't know if we have enough milk...

[Cuilanië]

I actually managed to sleep a whole night's sleep with the light off. Go me. :)

I woke up with a major crick in my neck, though.

Now I'm going after coffee. And maybe, just maybe, breakfast.

[Curlita]

I hate having insomnia. I've had it every night this week but one. I keep thinking that if I just get tired enough, I should be able to fall asleep.

It's very hot here and the cats are sleeping on the wood floor, all stretched out, instead of curled into little balls like usual.

I have a prenatal appointment tomorrow. I'm going in every other week now. Yikes!

[Cuilanië]

Insomnia's not so bad for me, but lately I've been falling asleep with the light on, and it's not very restful...

Weather prediction for today: hot & humid. It's still cool atm, but that won't last.

I should make some iced coffee.

[Cuilanië]

I had to draw my curtain across the open window - someone's cigarette smoke was wafting in. <_<

I had to open my roommate's window to evacuate the excess perfume...

There's an artificial beach in Paris for a month. Too bad the Seine is too polluted to swim.

[Obsidian_Cat]

It's Friday - it's Friday - doin' the Happy Friday dance. http://www.obsidiancat.com/smile/bounce.gif

I spent all last night making ATCs, and the cats spent the night tearing the house up.

Tonite I'm going to buy "Customer Goofs" paint for $5 per gallon... my apartment will be a rainbow soon!

[Dalmaney]

I had a great great time in Winnipeg, and wrote about it in my blog if you want more detail than that.

I love staying in hostels. It reaffirms my belief that the best people are cheap people.

I want to go back to sleep and soon I will.

[zanna]

so in about an hour i'm leaving for the weekend with dave, the guy i met over the internet a week ago today.

i never knew it took so small of an amount of time for someone like me to fall ..

anyway, this is where we'll be going. a lovely little cabin up in the helen mountains of north georgia ..7 of his friends are going as well, and it seems like it shall be much fun. take a look! the cabin i'll be staying at this weekend. (http://www.premiervacationrental.com/RentalListingDetail.asp?PropertyID=2629b)

[Lilac]

Congratulations to Curlita on her house bid!!!! (I just now read through like 5 pages of TRF!) :yay:

I'm working from home today, yay, yay, yay!!!

....and, well...can't think of a third fact.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i leave in 2 hours, or so. back on sunday.

2 many things left to do before i go.

3 gully's gone 'on vacation' again (ie hasn't been home in 2 days).

[siafu]

i dont ever wanna feel like i did that day.

cool cabin, zanna.

go lilac!

bonusss: i really want to see the bourne supremacy.

[Larrissa]

its morning. i hope YOU are having a good one!

licourice altoids turned out to be heavenly

the chair hasnt completely broke yet, but it will

[siafu]

wellll, git yer bum out of it before it breaks.

yeh, i like the licorice ones too. i like the peppery flavor.

i'm getting my haircut today. short.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Woo-hoo, cabins with hot-tubs!!!

It's so humid here I feel like I'm living in a tropical rainforest, with out the colorful birds...

Perhaps it's time for a new chair?

[Larrissa]

it is tim e for new chair. i didnt break it damn it and im certainly not paying for a new one, i will use a kitchen chair when this breaks. :P

i dont appreciate his silence

i have this small booklet letter thing almost filled, finally. its 4inches square and 40 pages ... damn thats alot of writing.

[tanagee]

Still not dead. ;)

I faxed my resume off for a 'real' job today. It makes me really sad not to be able to be with Megan all day...

but it is more upsetting that we can't pay our bills.

And hey, I will have 'my own' money for 'ness postage so I won't feel all secretive and guilty when I mail things out.

[siafu]

maybe you're undead, tana.

don't bite me.

*hides*

[kamoke]

It's never this hot here.. but I love it!

I'm finally doing laundry! It's pretty bad when you find clothes at the bottom of your hamper that you had forgot you owned..

yikes.. I hope my clothes will be done for work [!] :huh:

What a great idea! I'm more likely to obsess about finding the perfect color swatch and then getting it up on the wall and deciding I don't like it anyway...

Good news: blood pressure normal, no gestational diabetes, and my weight gain is leveling off!

Bad news: the itchy red bumps on my belly will probably not go away until after the baby is born.

Bonus: Theresa makes me laugh.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I have an unused office chair.... but I think the postage would be more than buying a new one! :lol:

I often sit on the floor with my laptop, but that's not so comfy with a desktop.

Do we need to hang garlic in this forum??

[Larrissa]

warm buns :o

he passes out at his freaking computer :o

thres been a car wreck or comething at her work

*the unknown person update.

[Dalmaney]

All I really have to do today is go buy beach food.

I should go for a run.

Three weeks until I see the Boy.

[Obsidian_Cat]

And so the rain begins... pittapat.

Miss Dara's coming for a visit tomorrow - yay!

I should go to the store tonite - in the rain - yuk.

:huh:

[tanagee]

:yay: :yay: I GOT MY SCANNER!!!! :yay: :yay:

I got crappy mail today.

Megan is crying because I ate her 'nanna bread she left on the table from breakfast 3 hours ago.

[Cuilanië]

Garlic? Why garlic? Seen any vampires around here? :ph34r:

I'm hungry. I think I'll give in and have pasta for dinner. (:rolleyes: -- I had noodle soup for lunch...)

I have one grapefruit, one carrot, and half a bunch of chives left in the fresh stuff department. I've learned not to buy too much at a time, but now I'm stuck.

[kamoke]

There was a dance party in the shower this afternoon! I had a blast!

well, I'm off to work for whats sure to be a funny eveing on cash at the wal-mart

Aaron P. Brownlee, Ph.D.
It looks good, you can't deny that :lol:

[Larrissa]

i am laughing myself silly again

i can be unproductive right now

i have an appt with the counselor dude and thats my thing for the day

[Dalmaney]

I went for a run.

I have now earned being lazy for the rest of the day.

Still 21 days until I can see the Boy... sometimes I miss him entirely too much.

[kittymao]

blah. I think I'm suffering a sugar crash.

I have artystuff to doooooooooooooo.

Uhm. Yea. wanna play morrowind. I'm such a geek.

[Curlita]

Lunch is a turkey sand, peach, baked Lay's and M&Ms.

I suspect it may be counterproductive to reward my merely moderate weight gain in the past two weeks with M&Ms.

But I care not a whit.

[Curlita]

I have had "Teddy Bear's Picnic" stuck in my head for the past three days.

I blame my husband.

I like substituting other words for "picnic" in the song and coming up with lyrics like, "Christmas time for the teddy bears, the little teddy bears are having a lovely holiday." Etc.

[Skilyne]

"Watch them-catch them unawares...and see them picnic on their..." (ok, I had to)

Now I've got that song stuck in my head too!!!

There was a fire at work last night, and I spent all of today cleaning ash off of things.

I'm filthy and need to take a shower, but I decided to come online first.

[Curlita]

Sorry! You can blame my husband too.

Although it would make more sense to blame me.

This reminds me of the day I cruelly got "You Can't Hurry Love" stuck in Lilac's craw. Hee hee. And she still seems to like me!

[Skilyne]

I will blame only myself...for being able to be so easily impressionable. :P That used to be one of the songs I would sing when I was really little, and I used to think it went, "Catch their underwears" instead of "Catch them unawares." And all I could picture was bears tossing about underwear.

I am torn between two choices...and I know that either one could make me equally as happy or ultimately upset. This is a problem...

It is nice and sunny here!!! YIPPEE! It has been gloomy all day long, and the sun finally came out.

[Cuilanië]

I'm glad I don't know that teddy bear song, that way it can't get stuck in my head. haha!

I talked to my grandmother on the phone earlier, about my grandfather's 80th birthday (which celebration I'm going to miss...).

I have the makings of ginger lemonade. I've been meaning to make some. But I haven't yet. So now I want some, and it's not ready. :rolleyes: Typical...

[Curlita]

"Breakfast time for the teddy bears, the little teddy bears are having a lovely waffle today..."

My intense jealousy of Eve's being in Paris continues. I'm sure it's different living there than being on vacation there.... but I'm still jealous.

The day is going very slowly, and I'm not sure how badly I want to go home considering how hot the house will be tonight.

[Skilyne]

I am STILL needing to take a shower...but STILL feeling lazy.

I smell like smoke, ash, and grease.

Nice.

[Cuilanië]

Trade ya... I'd rather be on the US West Coast. Life's just not fair. :mellow:

I caved in. I had pasta for dinner instead of going out to the store for greens and other salad-ables.

Someone just let off a firecracker. Guess they're happy it's Friday...

[siafu]

could be worse, erica. you could smell like a goblin's armpit or something.

i got my haircut. i also got a lot of studying done while i waited for the bus to come back. then i got soooo funny feeling. i think it was hungry, so i ate a sandwich. now i'm waiting for the sandwich to register with the requisite body parts. yeah. so. i can't find my mini review. i am going to plead with my gf to help me look for it. the thing about the effing mini review is that it is about four inches fat. how can i lose such a fat ass mini review. argh. maybe it's in my bedroom.

i am embarrassed that i can't find it. you still like me, right?

[Curlita]

Theresa, I lost some work papers for two weeks and just finally found them today. At least you are the only person who really needs the review and you don't have a bunch of other people asking, "Did you find it yet? Huh? Did you?"

I'm very drowsy. If it weren't so hot, I'd go home early, but I would rather be in the air conditioning than in my hot house.

I wonder what we will have for dinner tonight, and how many people have looked at the house today.

[Curlita]

Proof that I am anal-retentive: I just figured out how many posts I would need to make in order to raise my daily average from 2.9 to 3 (40).

I wish I had more M&Ms.

I wish the fairies would come and clean my desk.

[siafu]

:lol: thanks, curlita.

i think i am done sitting around for the mo.

but i can't work in here. too hot. see yas later. when the sun goes away!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

The boy is mowing the lawn...it's making me all sneezy

I just read some Milk And Cheese comics...pure silliness

I need to make something...my hands are itching to create...I hate to tell them that they generally create crap :P

[gwensmom]

We need some rain here to blow out this oppressive haze.

I took Gwen to the Dr. for her school checkup and it turns out she is getting sick again. It's a good thing we caught it now or else the weekend would have been totally miserable. My poor baby has had a really hard summer. :(

But it's almost over! There are only two more weeks until school starts again.

I had to bring lot of work home this weekend. I hope I do some of it!

[Skilyne]

I hope Gwen gets to feeling better!

Theresa, I am VERY glad I didn't smell like a goblin's armpit. I suspect that is not one of the better smells. :lol:

I had a delicious sub for dinner. And 2 glasses of chocolate milk.

[kittymao]

I did arty stuff- and I got to show it off to the Bro and sis in law. they were very awed, and that feels good.

I alos got some fun mail, whee! I lub da mail.

Tomorrows the Gilroy Garlic Festival. It's international, dontchakno. I didn't.

[Dalmaney]

I am being pathetic and waiting for the phone to ring.

Even though I know he's out with Lexi and possibly Mike and she's moving out of town soon and I shouldn't really ask him to go home ridiculously early just to call me on the phone.

But I want to.

[frizball]

My dad and I went to a little place called Angelo Brocatta's Italian Ice cream in New Orleans where we used to go every sunday when I was a kid. It brings back many wonderful memories, and is a truly and wonderfully unique place that is naturally nawlins :D

After brocattas we drove by the house where my parents lived when i was born, and I lived until i was 2. Our old neighbor and friend was outside so we stopped and chatted for an hour or so. His daughter and I were best friends as kids.

I love this city-even with all the crime and shit that goes down in it. Theres no place like it on earth.

[Curlita]

Leah, that sounds like a great day!

Got home and met dog and husband on the street - house showings all evening long, so we went immediately out to dinner and then for ice cream.

I told the guy behind me in line that I knew the person who invented Primary Berry Graham (our on ezerd) and talked him into getting it.

Realistically, I would also need you to gift me with your language skills. The things I do to the French language qualify as cruel and unusual. :(

I bet it's 90 degrees up here. And we're supposed to sleep here? Ha!

Today was the hottest day on record in Seattle in 6 years.

[Skilyne]

The shop that I work in is without air-conditioning.

The mix of the heat, humidity, all the machines running, and the plastic ovens (over 200 degrees each) causes it to be easily over 95 degrees on many days in the summer.

There are times that even my FINGERS are dripping sweat! But I've been there for 3 years...and it is only that bad in the summer.

But...AGGGHHHHH!

[hammerquill]

I'm supposed to be baking French Almond Tea Cakes tonight for an unofficial MoveOn Bake Back the White House sale tomorrow.

I actually had to go to Safeway for the first time in quite awhile, because I didn't notice I was too low on powdered sugar until most stores were closed.

Damn. I just realized I don't have anything proper to bring them to the sale in.

[hammerquill]

My watchband broke this evening. The cheap plastic one on my cheap digital watch I wear to work.

I cannot stand being without a watch, though, so I'll have to get a new band pdq.

I hate fruit flies.

[Skilyne]

I am finding it difficult to go to bed. So...here I still am.

I STILL have the "Teddy Bear Picnic" song in my head! Thanks Erica #1 and her husband! :lol:

I made 10 ATCs tonight...this makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

I've decorated one page in a deco today....that's it...I haven't done squat

The dog is wanting to go out. I can never tell if she actually HAS to go, or if she just wants to smell things and chase my cats

I can't stop yawning...this does not mean that I intend on going to bed anytime soon...

Sorry Erica... but that gave me a good laugh. :hug:

3RFacts just don't stay in my head this morning. I had two fair ones, but by the time I get around to posting, they're gone.

Well, it's a cool morning with a bit of a breeze here...

I just realised what I'm doing with that headband of mine: I'm training the hair on top of my head to lie back instead of forward. Important step in the growing-out process. :)

[Skilyne]

WOW! Nobody has posted in 8 hours!

I wouldn't be either, but I woke up because I was cold and then I couldn't get back to sleep.

I went to the post office already this morning, and mailed out 3 letters and a package...all for Nness.

I think filling out a customs form for something going to Canada is silly.

[Dalmaney]

I talked to him last night from 1:45 to 2:45.

I got up this morning at 8.

Now I have to coordinate 25 people to Grand Beach and back. It will only be grand if there's a nap on the beach for me.

[gwensmom]

Ice cream sandwiches were marked down today so I got 2 boxes. :drool:

Shipped out lots of ebay sales today and my junk room looks a little emptier.

The babysitter couldn't get here last night because it was pouring rain and the streets were flooded. It was Gwensdad's turn to stay with Gwen, but I had to get up at 5:15 on a Saturday :'(

I can't wait to hear from Robyn - it must be almost time for them to get back from Edmonton.

[Curlita]

Amazing! It's actually out of my head - maybe I passed it to you like a virus.

Whenever I get a song stuck in my head, I start singing Lola to myself. It works like a musical crowbar, and never seems to get stuck itself.

I'm sitting here in the blessed air conditioning of the office with my feet in a tub of water and epsom salts in hopes of getting the swelling to go down.

[siafu]

i've been meaning to suggest high tops, erica. are you wearing very good shoes on your swelly feet? something to consider.

i'm very sleepy.

i went to tjmaxx last night. i was looking for some cute little clothes to wear to the test. heidi picked out clothes that were good for meeting with clients. i got one new pair of shorts. i have two pairs of shorts now.

[medeous]

i've been having trouble falling asleep, but when i eventually do, my dreams are happy.

i have a lot to do, but don't plan on doing any of it soon.

things seem to work out for me.

[Curlita]

Theresa, I've been wearing Birkenstocks. I was wearing my Rockports - if I put them on early enough, then they would keep my feet from swelling. But it's just been so hot, I get up in the AM and they are already big and puffy.

I'm waiting for the caffeine in my half-caf mocha to kick in.

I have to go outside into the heat in a few minutes to open the other museum. :(

[siafu]

yeah, that sucks. the same thing happens to me, getting up and having already swelly feet. and i know what you mean about the heat. i have been wearing my crap slides even though my skater shoes would prevent any swelling at all.

i want to go to old navy. i know they suck. i just like their sales and clearances.

only 8 more minutes before i have to go write panic outlines.

[velma]

Thanks Curlita, now I have "Lola" in my head! (But, it's kind of OK, 'cause I like that song...I may change my mind a few hours from now, though...) :P


I'm craving a cigarette and I hardly ever smoke.

It poured like hell last night and we're due for more (could that have anything to do with the bottle of Captain Morgan's & the Barcardi strawberry dacquiri mix I bought?)

I got my new camera!! YAAAYYYY! :D

[tanagee]

I bought Primary Berry at the store yesterday evening. It is not my usual cup-o-tea, but it was nice and light for a hot summer night.

I have been trying to change the way I eat and I have lost 5 or so pounds in the last week, although I was PMSing last week so all of it doesn't count.

I got really crabby and pissy with my hubby this morning for no reason other than he was emptying the dishwasher differenly than me. And I was feeling guilty that I wasn't cleaning up the kitchen and he was. :wacko:

[Cuilanië]

I'm making good wishes for Theresa's test. No panic allowed outside those outlines! ;)

I realise I haven't been outside the apartment in at least two or three days, and the last time was for grocery shopping. Pathetic I am...

I drank down the whole pot of coffee this morning, instead of my usual half (1 pot = 2 mugs). What with the extra nap this morning, I'm all set for a late night. :rolleyes:

[velma]

I'm spending way too much time in Quizzes and Questions today.

Who cares?

I want some peanut butter-butterscotch rice krispy bars.

[tanagee]

Just went out to get the mail and my hubby got a check from Schwab for a whopping .14! :wacko: It cost more to print and mail the check than the check is worth itself.

There is so much else I need to be doing.

Truly random fact: I have ugly toes.

[Curlita]

Ditto that!

I don't know anyone who cares either.

I am wondering what I should have for lunch.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

there's a strong smell of gasoline coming in through the window...the neighbor was mowing his lawn :P

I'm feeling a little light-headed :blink:

I'm going to get to work on some decos soon, cause I'm a good girl....really I am...

[Curlita]

Jaime, has anyone ever told you that you are like great fried chicken?

Oh wait, I see they have.

I've been soaking my feet for an hour now and they are still fat. Shouldn't they be getting all shriveled and withered like they do in a long bath? Hmph.

[Skilyne]

Erica, have you tried rotating your ankles and wiggling your toes? When I used to get swollen feet, that usually helped me a bit...because it encourages blood flow.

Also, drink lots of water!!! Being more hydrated helps you retain less water...which sounds strange, but it is true.

I ate FAR TOO MUCH just now, and I feel as if I am going to burst. It's a gross feeling.

I went to the craft store, and they were having a sale on paper!!! I got a nice big stack for $3.95.

[Curlita]

Yes, indeed, I wiggle, I rotate, I gyrate, I flex my calves, and I've been trying to drink like crazy. One thing that seems to help is swimming a couple times a week, but our schedule has been so weird with all the house stuff, I haven't been in a week or so.

I haven't done one constructive work thing today.

I'm going to visit my mommy and daddy tomorrow. :)

[Lilac]

I'm not home!

I'm not even in Pennsylvania.

I ran away.

[siafu]

you have a good time, lilac

you deserve it.

call me collect if you need anything.

[chunkymonkey]

I'm still behind but I need to be in the forums to blow off some steam. :ph34r:

an important person in my life isn't talking to me

cheddar cheese cracker combos rock!

ps :wave:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

whoa! It's chunkymonkey! yippie! alloooo :P

I just spent all day working on decos...all oh my entries kinda look the same :huh:

I got a paper cute from a piece of star confetti....is this something that happens to others, or am I just really accident prone? :blink:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

paper cute aye? well It's obvious I'm queen of the spelling bees

I have a headache from that darn gasoline

I wonder if it's safe to light a match :ph34r:

[Larrissa]

he is awesome, and i think he knows it

ummm, it hasnt been that long

im disturbed at my depth of feeling

[chunkymonkey]

doa :yay: (keep an eye on your mail box)


I wish I was down the shore.

I wish a lot of things lately that are completely out of my reach.

I started an audio diary last week and found out that i talk too much.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

I've always wanted to do an audio diary...something i never quit got around too

but i talk too much anyway for somone with nothing to say...i certainly talk to myself plentay already....

queen of the spelling bees! :P

[chunkymonkey]

The aud di is not exactly productive because I can't stand the sound of my voice so it's not like I will ever listen to what I recorded.

I just feel like talking sometimes without actually talking to another person.

:wacko:

[Dalmaney]

The beach was fun, but there was no nap there.

I am really tired but can't quite sleep yet.

I have two people to talk to on the phone, and neither is home.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

I'm craving the beach...

i was hoping to make it to florida this summer...stupid money-never enough-can't take trips-broke-stupid-grrrr

i always wanted to be the voice for a muppet...i doubt that's ever gonna happen, but man...it'd be swell

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad went to a movie with a former neighbor and didn't tell me until he was walking out the door.

I'm watching Chicken Run

I get to sleep in tomorrow! :yay:

[Larrissa]

i have two people to talk to on the phone, but their service has been suspened, damn them <_<

an hour and a half phone conversation that went well, really well, ummmm, why so well?? :wub:

theres not the slightest chance hes going to come in here and read this ^_^

[Gingersmack]

Kidlets are driving me buggy tonight...

Hubby has secluded himself in the bedroom, damn him :P

I have gotten many LMAO projects finished today, start again tomorrow, weekend is mine.


(too humid, blasted heat!)

[gwensmom]

Today's lesson: Use your marketing skills!

I listed this item on ebay and it didn't sell: Marimba 100% Wool Fingering Yarn by Novita of Finland

So I relisted it with an opening bid of one dollar less than before and changed the description to capitalize on the current sock knitting craze: 14 skeins Wool Fingering Sock Yarn in 3 colors

Now it has one bid and 10 people watching it. This just cracks me up.

[kamoke]

um, work was long, I don't spend enough time here, and theres a credit card in my hand. ;)

[Dalmaney]

I am once again waiting for him to call.

Except the phone here is busy, so to call he'll have to MSN me, and then I'll go demand my phone back.

If all I can have is the sound of his voice, I want more of it.

[Gingersmack]

Listening to a brand new cd, Soma.

Having a glass of wine.

Kidlets are amused by their own company, I am so pleased.

[medeous]

yesterday, i sat on the bathroom floor while my daughter fretted in the tub about puberty.

today, i bought her a book about it and are you there god, it's me margeret.

cutie bookstore guy helped me find a book (not the puberty one!) and flirted a bit.

[medeous]

so, this DSL thing is kind of neat and i like Launch

i stay up way too late

i hacked (heh, ooh i'm baaad...it's not really hacking...more sneaking) into rustell's KoL account and used a bunch of her turns since she couldn't accrue anymore.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

Alloooooo medeous! :)

I remember reading are you there god, it's me margeret when I was going through that stage :P i remember the book fondly

I forgot to take my sleepy-time pills again...so I'm up until they kick in :P

(saying hi to medeous counts as a fact.)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i dunno what to do with myself

the rest of the house is sleeping

if he wakes up and notices i'm not there he'll grumble...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

yep...it's just me and googlebot...

we're having a great time!

I'm bored.....

[Cuilanië]

And just when I walk in, she leaves. :lol: :wave:

I fell asleep to the sound of his voice last night. :wub:

Which means I didn't get much sleep, but who cares... ^_^

[Larrissa]

greetings, i say :D

bash.org has made me laugh myself to tears

the computer chair is in two peices, i am in a dining room chair.

[Curlita]

I kept an audio diary on a three week solo cross-country trip. A lot of it was boring observations about my speed, mileage, and state of mind, but I also spent a lot of time analyzing a relationship that I was on my way to either consummate or not. It's very hard to listen to now, as I keep thinking, "Don't do it! Don't do it!" even though I know I did.

We sold our house! We got a great offer with no contingencies and now we don't need to show our house anymore! We can leave our underpants in the middle of the living room if we want! Whoo hoo!

I just got peanut butter on my skirt. <_<

[Cuilanië]

I'm feeling quite accomplished. I decided, since my roommate didn't seem to want to do it, that I'd do the caulking in the kitchen and the bottom of the shower. It turned out good. :)

My fingers are now waterproof, though. :lol:

I'm hungry. I have a way of not discovering this until I'm ravenous. :rolleyes:

[Cuilanië]

:yay: Erica, congratulations for the house. That was pretty quick, wasn't it?

The last two times my parents sold their house, it went really fast, too.

My eyes are all puffy and red - lack of sleep. I'll just go have another coffee...

You make me laugh Erica!

Although after keeping the house clean to show it, I would want to leave my underwear laying about also.

I went to Cleveland last night to see Chris Isaak in concert...it was GREAT!

I wonder where Lilac ran off to...

Eve, it was very quick! Four days - I'm very grateful for our good fortune.

Erica, you and I are laughing, but a pair of my husband's boxers are hanging on the newel post at the bottom of the stairs as I type. He leaves for work in the early AM and just leaves them there when he's done with his shower, the puts them away later.

He got annoyed at me when I made up our daily checklist for leaving the house during showing and put, "Panties on the newel post?" on the list. For some reason he gets offended when I call his underwear panties. So sensitive.

[Skilyne]

LOL Erica! Men are so funny that way...I know the guys I work with are!

I am laying here in my bed...hungry, bored, and antsy. There are so many things I wanted to do today, but I can't seem to get up the initiative to start any of them.

Perhaps I will get dressed and go to the bookstore...that's always a good place to start.

[velma]

Congrats on the house selling, Curlita! We went through that earlier this year and I SO hated having people traipsing in & out, having to keep it clean, be nice to potential buyers when I just wanted to bark at them, etc.

I'm very twitchy today and don't know what to do with myself.

...which is why I'm hanging out in Quizzes & Questions listening to tunes on my iPod.

<_<

[tanagee]

If I have gas appliances does that mean I am still supposed to "give them the afternoon off" to save electricity? The dryer maybe, but my oven is not sucking any juice...

I was vegging on the couch last night when the motion sensor light popped on, I sneaked over to the screen door and spotted a little grey tabby cat on my porch. He ran away, seems like he's more of a little scaredy cat instead. :lol:

Being an advanced reader, I read Are You There God... way before it was relevant. I think I was 9 or 10 and I didn't get "it" until I was 13. (I read Forever when I was 11 or 12, and it wasn't until I re-read it at 17 that it made more sense.)

There are enough facts in there to overide the question! ;)

[kittymao]

I had a dream that it was the end of the world. and I was using Dave Chapelle's studio as kind of a bomb shelter as I decided whether to go to my family or Rudy. I wound up going to Rudy ( I was convinced my sister, brother and Mother would be raptured but my dad would't give a crap) and found him in the card section of walgreens with Eric. Rudy said his mother was gone and that he would go too, so I should go check on my family- and as I left him the sky lit up with the beginnings of a pentagram...

So, Now that Rudy has gone to work today, I'm really missing him.

I think I'm going to be crafty until he gets home. I really want doughnuts for breakfast but have none.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

arg...wanting to play chain games

being shoved out the dood

i don't know what dood is...it must be code for door

[kittymao]

well, depends on the context. I use dood, as replacement for Dude.

uhm. I had me some popcorn chicken. yum.

Am also looking for hieroglyphs on the internet. yaay!

[Dalmaney]

I am currently baking homemade stuffed chicken breasts for 20.

19.

It is possible that in one year's time, I will be an old married woman.

[kamoke]

I'm growing up

I should clean up my room..

I want to buy a house, and sit on the roof under the warm night


;)

[Dalmaney]

I went for a run.

Then I went and jumped in the river.

Shhh... don't tell anyone that my bikini top was actually my sports bra.

[Skilyne]

One of my best friends is moving to New York City tommorow morning. I am going to miss her a lot, but at the same time, I am so incredibly happy for her!!!

I spent awile at the bookstore today, and I got another book on Tagalog...so I will be able to refresh myself on the language so that I ACE the NYPD language exam.

I am not feeling so good right now, but I think that is just general end-of-the-weekend crap. I don't want to go to work tommorow either.

Where are Blue and Lilac?

[Larrissa]

my sister thats 21 is losing it

im at my dads

and realize i cant message sara :'(

[siafu]

my laptop works now. as does the portable printer.

i cried this morning out of being afraid.

i mean, the small bus could have a wreck or something on the way to the test.

i have a plan and a back up plan if that should happen.

tired.

going to go read outlines.

[Skilyne]

I am wishing Theresa all the best in the world! She's going to do great, she will get to the test safely, and everything will work out...I just know it!

I have spent the last hour looking up jobs in NYC. My big thing is still health insurance...and I am looking for a job that provides that for me. I'm flexible otherwise, a quick learner, and a hard worker. I'm sure one of these days I'll find something.

But I do still worry that I won't be able to live out my dream of living in NYC. I worry that I won't find a job that provides benefits.

I worry a lot about a lot.

I should really work on that.

[Skilyne]

I am really not feeling like going into work tommorow.

Dealing with the secretary is overwhelming me...because I feel like I am being unfairly targeted for things beyond my control.

If any of you are the praying type, I'd really appreciate you keeping my work situation in your prayers.

I am also concerned that I might be too comfortable and complacent in my current job. The thought of leaving scares me, and that fact alone scares me. I know that I need to leave the shop one of these days, and I don't want to ever feel that I will be unable to work without those crazy boys.

[Curlita]

Job woes seem to be going around here at n-ness. Persevere! Jobs can feel like traps sometimes.

I have made what feel like Major Decisions tonight about what kind of diapers and bottles (when I go back to work and am pumping milk like a moo cow) I will use with baby.

My cat is sleeping in my recycling box.

BONUS: Good luck to Theresa - is the test tomorrow? I know I've asked the date, but now cannot remember it. I will think good thoughts tomorrow, just in cae.

[siafu]

being a cat is very tiring.

the test is tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday.

the memo writing portion of the test is first.

[tanagee]

Wishing Theresa luck on her exams next week.

Wishing good things for Harrisons transplant tomorrow!!

Going nite-nite right now.

[hammerquill]

Do you bring your own Post-It notes to that, or do they provide them?



I've finally finished as much as I can currently do on the letter B of the quotation dictionary.

It's fun. Good thing, since the pay is a joke compared to the amount of work.

I'm re-addicting myself to the UC Berkeley libraries. It was over a year since I'd last gone! :o

fingers are crossed for Theresa (as if she needed the help). toes are crossed for Harrison and Robyn.

[Helquin]

Sending good thoughts to Skilyne, Nymphette & Siafu...

Looking forward to Blue's return. Soon, I hope. :D

Feeling creatively restless today: energized but without focus.

[kaishowing]

Sent off my first roll of non C-41 B&W negs to get developed today.Can't wait for the results! :wacko:

Heard a great new song on the radio today, but can't remember what it's called or who it's by, so I'm waiting for the playlist to recycle again! <_<

Sitting watching Heather doing her craft projects, and listening to her swear as she keeps having to redo some delicate work!!! :unsure:

[Obsidian_Cat]

My eyes are dilated... everything looks funky.

I bought a carpet remnant for the living room, so I can drip hot glue and paint on it instead of the wall-to-wall...

I've missed a couple of days, so I have many postings to read up on...

http://www.obsidiancat.com/smile/noevil.gif

[zanna]

i had an awesome weekend up at the cabin.

i think i've grown very fond of dave, yes, very fond indeed ..

yep.

[nymphette]

we are still waiting to hear what is going on with harrison's surgery-no news is good news though right???

nothing much to report right now- we are lucky that there is a resource room with internet (YAY) for us to use... at least i can pop on a couple times a week and try to regain a bit of sanity.... <_<

i'll update when i know more... i just psent most of my (self-alotted)time updating my LMAO stuff and member page, so.... i'll come back later, after we know what is happening...

i dont' know what we'll get to find out about the donor either- as to whether it was a child or adult, etc- which has somebearing on how long the surgery itself willt ake- it's less time going straight from child to child than dividing an adult liver....

more later everyone.. thanks for all the good wishes and thoughts and prayers....

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i had a lovely peaceful weekend.

2 gully's not well. he's been wheezy for a couple weeks. he went to the vet this morning, and she's not sure what's wrong. so, the next thing is to decide what tests to do for the poor lil' kitty.

3 the air's very heavy, it's quite humid... and i'm really noticing the difference between this city air, and how the air was at the cottage... :(

[Dalmaney]

My friend is coming to visit me tonight!

Today is my day off, so I am lounging in my pj's, drinking a cup of coffee, wondering when said friend will call to say she's leaving.

I wish it was the Boy coming instead, but Jill is the next best thing.

[Obsidian_Cat]

"Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so."

My lunchtime is over.

Perhaps it really isn't though....

[siafu]

Do you bring your own Post-It notes to that, or do they provide them?

can you believe i have to bring my own? well...considering i have to bring my own printer i guess i'm not surprised. dorks. once i'm practicing, maybe i'll shame them into providing equipment.

thanks for the kind words everyone. i'm not so nervous today. just tired.

my choices for coffee today are impeded--instant or whole bean that i have to grind myself, though with a grinder, not by hand.

[gwensmom]

The only wreck there is going to be will be those bar exam people when they see that Theresa aced their test and make it look like a cakewalk.

Gwen was up all night and crying this morning so I kept her home from school. I got her to sleep about 5 hours ago. I should wake her up now but I am enjoying the peace and quiet.

There's nothing interesting to eat in the house and I am pretty much stuck here all day!

[gwensmom]

The paper said that Dick Cheney will be in Portland today.

No wonder Theresa's karma is all messed up.

Don't worry, he will be gone before the bar exam starts!

Do we know where Lilac ran off to? And with whom?

[siafu]

icky poo jabba the hut man

i made beans and rice. that's good mojo food

i got a cd at church yesterday. also good for keeping spirits up.

[Skilyne]

YUM! Beans and rice! Anything involving rice is always welcome food.

I am sending all sorts of good vibes to Theresa for her test. I know she doesn't need them though...she's going to ACE this thing!

I'm hoping all is well with Nymphette and her family. Sending good wishes to them as well!

I had an alright day at work...nothing major to complain about...so I just won't complain about the minor stuff either! :D

3rf is becoming more like 4 or 5 random facts for me lately.

[nymphette]

things are going good so far

i got a shower and a littl emental health break- once i saw him and touched him and saw he was 'okay' i could go for a bit... he's sedated, so....

going to him now... back later!!!

[Curlita]

What a huge week this is... transplant for Harrison, Theresa's big test, and Julie's baby arriving anytime now!

I have been researching doulas and daycare today.

I have no creative dinner ideas, and we've been eating out almost every night because of the house showings.

[siafu]

i got my period in time for the test. :angry:

of all the ridiculous things... :'(

i wouldn't care if it didn't make me feel moderately sick. :ill:

:insert little icon of mad person kicking cans:

[Skilyne]

Oh...those damn periods! Always lurking about and visiting when they are not at all welcome!

There really is not too much exciting going on here. I worked on a bit of art earlier, made a few ATCs, and listened to some music.

I am going to make up some study cards tonight and make up a tentative schedule of when I am going to study for this NYPD test. I am determined to do well.

[tanagee]

When I was 11 and in Girl Scouts we had a secret Santa exchange and I did not recieve a gift, someone picked my name but 'thought' they had someone else so they bought them a present.

So there I am at the troop Christmas party sitting on the couch while everyone is giggling gleefully over their cute Hello Kitty stuff, trying not to cry.

My leader noticed me sitting quietly on the couch and rectified the situation by having the girl who got 'my' present and the one that was rightfully hers give me one of hers. Somehow, that made it much worse.

[Gingersmack]

Two of three of my kidlets are in the room with me now.

I am watching the Democratic Convention on mute.

Listening to music :P

[hammerquill]

I finally had an excuse to start playing with InDesign - postcards to send to our studio mailing list for the upcoming ACC show in San Francisco.

So I spent almost my whole workday playing with it. I should do something other than sit at the computer now I'm home.

I need a haircut before the show.

[hammerquill]

I have lots of other things I'd like to get done before the show, too.

Tonight I'm going to do piles and piles of dishes.

Yesterday I found a wheat cent among the change in my pocket, for the first time in years.

[Curlita]

I'm tired and feeling downtrodden about daycare options.

Here I thought I was going to be such a great mom for arranging my schedule so that I only needed daycare for one day a week.

Turns out that most daycares want you to commit to at least three days for infant daycare - which I don't want to do and which we cannot afford. :(

[Death_Or_Aldona]

my mother-in-law made tasty pineapple-upside-down cupcakes tonight

I'm-a-big-fan-of-the-hyphen

I-have-a-third-fact-but-it's-a-secret-shhhhhh....

[Gingersmack]

I am now alone.

Democratic Convention is still on mute, although I caught most of it by now...

I am STILL listening to music :)

[kamoke]

i figure that art bug has been cured.. I suck

street art gets the adrenaline going

I really love listening to the Cure! I've recently discovered them and they're amazing..

disco

[Gingersmack]

Went to a Cure concert in High School.

Was in "like" with Steve then.

Didn't work out.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

AHHHHH!!!! I had a dream I went to a Cure concert last night

Mr. Smith was wearing soooo much lipstick and it kept changing color throughout the show

I got to talk to him and he signed a CD for me, but by time he was done signing it, it had turned into a large blue poster...things are always changing like that in my dreams...it's hard to keep up with it all :P

[Gingersmack]

I have, and have access to, most Cure schtuff out today.

Still listen to them.

Last cd in my collection was Bloodflowers, methinks.

[kamoke]

three fandom cure facts

that was a typo, but I felt it fit..

[Death_Or_Aldona]

mmm...bloodflowers was good

i just found out about 2 weeks ago that they have another album out...i need it...yep

hmmm....most of my cure stuff in on cassette tape..it's well past time to upgrade methinks

[Death_Or_Aldona]

3 random facts unrelated to the cure:

i don't think i'm going to sleep tonight

i have an early appointment

too stressed to sleep and too hyper to sleep and no sleep 'til brooklyn so sleep is prolly not going to happen

[Gingersmack]

Let me know if you wish to upgrade ;)

My favorite colors are earthyand jewel tones, black and silver...

Lenny Kravitz is still playing :wub:

[kamoke]

I stole my cure hits from the internet! I'm scum! yeehaw!

Im going to eat and go to sleep. its 4am

i have a love for shoes. a newly found one

[Gingersmack]

Still listening to Lenny.

Getting a bit sleepy.

Gonna go make nachos, methinks.

[siafu]

my computer, printer, and paper are packed.

i can't take any home packed food to the test, so i have lunchables and juice boxes and little packs of cookies and carrots.

i had wine with dinner. i feel fine.

[hammerquill]

Go Theresa!! Have fun killing the zombies!

I find it strange you can bring a computer but not a homemade meal...

I still have dishes and cooking to do.

I too had wine with dinner.

[Cuilanië]

Go T - kick 'em.

Coffee. That's a fact.

Got lots of wabbit food in my fwidge. :lol:

[Cuilanië]

I think the roommate is thinking of renting an apartment with a friend of his. Despite having been my roommate for 16 months more than anticipated (was supposed to last 8 months), I don't think he realises the disruptive potential of roommating on friendships. But he's right about one thing: it's the only way to get a decent-sized apartment in Paris for a decent-sized rent...

Speaking of the roommate... He listened to his Shakira CD on Saturday, and three of the songs have been stuck in my head ever since. It's driving me nuts, they keep coming back no matter what I do to evict them. CDs like that ought to be made illegal. <_<

I have four days to decide whether I'm staying here or going back to Montréal in October. Well, that's the deadline I set myself, anyway - either way there are things to set in motion, so I can't put off deciding too much.

[Obsidian_Cat]

You know you might write the answers on your baloney sandwich in mustard....

It's raining.... again.

No tea... no TEA... NO TEA!!!! :'(

[Lilac]

I'm back.

Went to Maine with my sister.

Wish I was still there.

[sarahkate]

~ Lucky Lilac! I wish I could go to Maine. I suppose I could since it's only about 6 hours away but I'm lacking the funds.

~ I had chocolate pudding and pizza flavored Goldfish crackers for breakfast.

~ I think siafu is going to kick some serious ass on her test! B)

[gwensmom]

Theresa is probably acing that bar exam as we speak.

I can't imagine taking tests all day for three days.

I missed Gore and Carter's speeches but got to hear both of the Clintons last night. Bill was pretty funny.

I am going to force myself to sit through at least the keynote speeches of the Republican convention as well. It's only fair to at least hear both sides even though it makes you want to throw bricks at the TV.

[kamoke]

I don't wanna work :(

I need breakfast and a shower

I think I'm going to start waxing :lol:


:lol:

[sarahkate]

~ kamoke - unless you are some crazy masochist-type then I wouldn't suggest waxing. Ouch! :wacko: (wondering what kamoke would like to wax :huh:)

~ When I was driving back to work at lunch time I heard, on the radio, Brimful of Asha by Cornershop. That's a great song. "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" :lol:

~ I'm having leftover macaroni & tomato soup for lunch. Mmmm.

I never thought of myself as particularly masochistic... True enough, I'm too chicken to do it myself, I get it done by a pro. It's not that bad... though I have it on good authority that it hurts more for guys. More hair, coarser and all that...

Wondering how the muppet fists are faring on the bar exam. Pretty well, I'm thinking. :)

Salad and roast chicken for dinner. Yum. I might indulge in a beer afterwards. Yum indeed. ^_^

I'm trying to be good about eating enough wabbit food. I like the stuff, but it takes so long to prepare... :rolleyes:

I've laid out the pros and cons for the Paris vs. Montréal issue. I think the rational decision is pretty obvious, but still I hesitate.

I'm in a math mood. I could do calculus.

(<-- freak) :lol:

I love Calculus!

We could have a math party!

Yippeeee!

[Cuilanië]

Arghissima. Just as I was finally getting rid of Shakira (3 days stuck in my head!!! :wacko: <_< ), the roommate comes home early, and puts the CD back on.

I think I put too much balsamic vinegar in my salad, but I don't care. I'm developing an addiction to that stuff.

I'll have to buy more garlic. I just discovered that mine's all dried and shriveled up.

[Cuilanië]

Two thumbs up to a math party, Lilac. :D Yay! I'll bring the beer... :lol:

The inside of my lips where I nibble them all the time when I'm thinking is burning from the vinegar. Wonder if it'll heal faster that way. ;)

I have a crochet experiment going. :)

[sarahkate]

~ Oooh. Eve's food facts are making me hungry again. You know what's good? Putting some olive oil & balsamic vinegar on a plate and dipping italian or french bread in it. Mmm. I wish I had some right now.

~ I saw a boy I used to have a crush on when I was about 14 working at Panera Bread the other day. He's still cute & he has a tattoo. :blush:

~ On Friday I watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time ever. It was pretty good and is it strange that I found Tim Roth strangely attractive? :huh:

[Cuilanië]

Sorry... it's dinner time here. ;) Now I wish I had some proper bread to mop up the excess vinegar... but both my favourite bakeries are closed today.

Flies are incredibly stupid. The window's wide open, yet it takes them five good minutes of flying around - and annoying me - to find it...

This is my considered and official opinion: constant Shakira's worse than constant Madonna. I paid for that knowledge in precious ounces of sanity.

That's not creepy...

1. I am a huge Tarantino fan, but hadn't seen Reservior Dogs until the 10th anniversary edition came out on DVD.

2. I love Michael Madsen (Mr. Blonde).

3. Talking about Calculus has made me think of a song with the chorus "I know my calculus, it says u plus me equals us" and it was from some dumb MTV boyband show.

[Larrissa]

i ate hot dogs for dinner and my body aint happy with me

my sister is getting help today

he is just so damn cute

[Skilyne]

I would like to know exactly who it was that supplied "my boys" at work with crack. They come up with some of the STRANGEST stuff...and I assure you that it takes some assistance of some kind (drug or otherwise) to even think of these things...much less say them. (see facts below)

My hair is growing out, and today it was kinda puffy on top...looked to me like a mushroom. I tried to fix it, but then gave up and went to work. I was informed that my head looked like a penis...not a mushroom. *sigh*

I also had to use the guy's bathroom today because the one I usually use was being worked on due to the recent fire. UGH...their bathroom is SO GROSS! Well, do the math...15 men + 2 toilets + 6 months without cleaning = Something nobody should have to see. I asked why it was that there was pee around, and was informed that "you can't always aim a short barrel well Erica."

What I don't understand is how they can kill a small animal with a single shot...hitting one of it's vital organs from 100 yards...but they can't hit the toilet correctly.

[sarahkate]

~ Oooh stargal & I can go on a double date - I will take Tim Roth & she will take Michael Madsen. It will be wonderfully gangsta-licious. :P


What I don't understand is how they can kill a small animal with a single shot...hitting one of it's vital organs from 100 yards...but they can't hit the toilet correctly.

~ Ha! That's so true! You would think men would find peeing to be a sport of sorts, so they would actually TRY to hit the target. Target being a very large bowl. How hard is that anyway?!

~ The other day I ran over a can of beer in a parking lot (it was in a paper bag which I thought was empty) and later on that day I drove over a pack of cigarettes. I told my boyfriend we better watch out because the next thing my car is going to run over is a whore, since he is a boy car afterall. Get it? Booze, cigarettes and whores? Ahh.. guess you had to be there.

*just had to say - I hate using the word "whore" but "tramp" or "hooker" just didn't have the same effect.

[stargal1998]

1. Though it's only been 10 days out of 22, I think Nick REALLY NEEDS TO COME HOME...

2. I keep blushing whenever I talk to boys.

3. Nick REALLY needs to come HOME! :wub:

[Curlita]

So, Erica, your co-workers basically called you a dickhead? :lol: (sorry, couldn't resist).

We are intervewing a potential doula tonight.

I'm anxious to hear from everyone who has major, life-altering events happening this week (Robyn, Theresa, Julie). So hard to be patient.

[Skilyne]

*laughing* Yeah Erica...they basically did! :lol: It made me laugh too...I was just in awe at the way their minds work.

They also offered to allow me to aim for them as they went to the bathroom-so that I could see how difficult it is for them. (awww...poor babies!)

I kindly declined that offer. :P

[Larrissa]

i fell asleep on the couch and woke up because its HOT in here

waiting patiently for a phone call, very unpatiently

somehow i used 40 minutes of the phone card and we talked of nothing ... it was still cool missy.

[Cuilanië]

the roommate is using up the charge on the cordless... <_< (he has his own phone, but he has it set up so's he can't sit on his bed to talk) bet he's going to talk until 4am again.

then he has the gall of moralising at ME for an unhealthy sleep cycle.

I had my beer. Was good. :)

[kittymao]

i should be doing something artsy.

but I am not.

i am hungry.

[kittymao]

got a waitress job at the irish pub down the road.

Shoaib's coming over tomorrow.

as for both- I wonder if it will be weird.

[kittymao]

brain is fracturing facts. good thing for fast reply.

want to go swimming.

but no Rudy yet. He should come home, yep.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i have a raging headache...

i talked on the phone alot today...which is quite unusual...cryptaesia called, my mom called, a girly i just met in town called, the doctor called to yell at me for missing an appointment...i doubt this is why i have a headache...

i think i need to do something...i dunno what...feeling a bit manic lately...i've got busy fingers...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

my internet is the slowest ever...sooooo slooow...

the boy- he's mumbing to himself...something about Modrons...and immortality...

i think i need a popsicle.

[Larrissa]

why the hell did cryptaesia call from a newspaper? that was a little weird and i forgot to ask

hungry/dizzy/lazy, whoo!

i am supposed to show J pictures of my dads halloween costume, but i keep forgetting

[Curlita]

I need more friends who either a) have kids or B) are willing to maintain friendships with people with kids. I'm afraid that several of my good friends are going to just write me off after I give birth.

I'm sleepy. I woke up way early, and then got up at 5:30 to have breakfast with my husband.

I am wearing closed shoes today, which seem to squeeze the swelling right out of my feet. It isn't entirely comfortable, but better than the alternative.

[Larrissa]

i forgot to mention, i am always forgetting things, yes, what was it? oh yeah. the eloquent thing made me laugh. hard. :lol:

nearly every young (and at least partially together) boy i see is immensely cute. i think i have a problem. and amazingly, sometimes i even say things to them.

uh oh. decisions. damn me.

[Lilac]

A bird pooped on my face as I left the office today.

"That" group of people from work who resent me witnessed the event.

Damn it.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

[Larrissa]

boredom = boring.

i want to message him, but we have much more fun on the phone and his is charging still.

i love that he will never come in here.

[Skilyne]

Welcome back Lilac! I'm sorry about the bird pooping on your face though...tell "them" to mind their own business.

La-La-La...I'm feeling antsy and artistic, but I have not been able to channel my energies into anything constructive.

I wish tommorow was Thursday.

[Larrissa]

made me blush.

i should go

my sister is always late

[kamoke]

hot dogs are awesome, i could eat them all day long

I've come to the realization that work is trying to tear my self down.. i hate it

im going to eat some hot dogs and watch big brother with heather. maybe I'll find a million dollars and be able to quit work

[Larrissa]

stupid slave jobs. i need one soon.

i wish i had the money to send lots of random mail

ummm, why am i posting so much in here? yeah, thats why. the FL J cant see this. ahahahaha excellent.

bonus?? i just knocked the keyboard part of the desk to the floor and screamed like a baby. i knew i shouldnt have drank that caffiene this morning.

[Larrissa]

i think im feeling too lazy to actually chain game right now, despite this fast ass connection

my dad and i are going back to my sisters to convince her to take a walk with us

i finished lies and the lying liars who tell them, funny funny

and another bonus :o i just tried to turn off the monitor when he came over to get a candy from the bag. privacy is awesomely necessary.

[Larrissa]

oh and i showed him the picture of my dads halloween costume, and he says: christmas lights, ENGAGED.

i cant shut up about him, please forgive me

im going now :D

[velma]

Just got back from 2 days in Ptown. Took all kinds of cool pics.

My cat is trying to take my mouse from me--seriously!

It's raining again; mushrooms will soon sprout from my head.

[siafu]

hi, honey, i'm home.

the first day went O.K. the memo turned out to be easy. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aetsch/cheeky-smiley-026.gif number three, not so much. http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/sauer/angry-smiley-004.gif

i am in a room with a guy who uses a typewriter that makes LOTS of noise. i happen to not think that's similar to an ink jet printer.http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/sauer/angry-smiley-008.gif at least i have blue earplugs.

right before the test i tripped and crashed into the corner of a room. it cut my arm. i cleaned it and put a bandaid on it. :o

i think tomorrow is multiple choice. i'm going to go read and think. thanks for thinking of me and wishing me all kinds of good luck. it really made me happy. :wub: :lol:

ps. the noisy typewriter man has taken it three times. i was like, aw crap, get away from me. :blink:

[kamoke]

I got my book! Europe is mine.. um, in a year :unsure:

I think I'll go for a bike ride..

"..you're too foolish.."

[Death_Or_Aldona]

soda is yummy

i'm drinking some now

mmm...bubbles

[hammerquill]

This evening I'm using Internet Explorer. EEEEeeeewww!!

Netscape decided to crash on startup, and continued doing so on restarts, so I'm downloading a new copy of it. Sigh.

I think I left the baking soda out of the muffins.

[hammerquill]

Go Theresa! Those zombies haven't a chance. Even with their allies with noisy typewriters. And that's a fact.

The Berkeley Public Library just found itself short of funds, and for the first time in years it cut its hours. Without warning.

Generally they warn us in advance and the Berkeley voters vote to tax themselves to keep the libraries open.

[Lilac]

I really, really, REALLY need to go to bed.

I'm sending out an envie of "goodies" to someone tomorrow....

I'm not telling who it is!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the boy is acting funny

not funny 'ha-ha'...i think he's depressed

i hate it...grrrr...

[Larrissa]

im drinking coffee and hoping for a long night

oh my, i looked over and see a huge roll, h u g e roll, of stamps. mmmm, mail.

eh, time for another journal post :lol:

[kamoke]

I ended up hanging out at the airport for most of the night.. surprisingly there where poeple there, but they were in the international section.. they looked like soldiers..

people have been after me to get in the skate comp, but I don't even skate.. <_<

hot chocolate sounds nice..

and, um, my room still hasn't gone back to normal

Seattle libraries have started shutting down for two weeks every year, in addition to cutting hours. I hate it. We passed a property levy to do capital improvements, but we can't keep all the shiny new buildings over due to a lack of operating funds.

I have insomnia and restless legs.

I need to come up with a fetus-friendly cure for insomnia that does not involve wandering around the house eating various food items.

I wonder... If that stands for Provincetown, I wonder if you ran into my aunt. She's camping there right now. Fat chance, I know... :rolleyes:

Well I'm sort of awake, but the only difference with sleeping seems to be that I'm sitting in a chair typing instead of lying in bed...

3 squares done, either 5 or 9 to go. And trimming. Then do it again.

[hammerquill]

My normal electric mixer is from the late 1930s or thereabouts. Streamline style and all that. Nowadays they're putting things like that in museums.

This evening it decided to turn its beaters into modern art. Emphatically.

I hope I'll be able to find another pair that'll fit it. It's got plenty of problems, and isn't that great, but I like it.

[Obsidian_Cat]

It's raining... yet again.

My hair keeps curling into my eyes - I guess I need to find a headband if it's going to keep growing!

There's some kinda hubbub going on down the hall. Perhaps I should investigatel.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Damn... my LaunchCast isn't working this morning!!!

No tea, no music, nobody here.

This is not an auspicious start to the day! :o

[chaoticcrafts]

I forgot to bring my lunch to work today

I miss my mom

I love this site because there is more than just 1 type of art going on (did I mention I am a Gemini?)

[stargal1998]

1. I am growing out my fingernails, trying not to bite them.

2. I need to fight the urge not to go out to eat for lunch.

3. Eating at home all the time doesn't sound very appealing...Especially since I really want A Big Mac (Maybe since I'm also trying not to eat greasy fast food my body is going through withdrawal).

[stargal1998]

1. Maxis announced the Sims 2 will be out September 16.

2. OOOOOH :wub: Another SIMS game that I can drool over.

3. This one's got genetics, I may just die right now...

[sarahkate]

~ I love The Sims also. The 2nd one is released the day after my birthday. B)

~ I work on the 1st floor of a building. The closest bathroom (since it's right next to the elevator) is on the 5th floor. I got up there to find that it was closed for some reason so I went down to the 4th floor. There is no one working on that floor anymore so I had to walk down a LONG empty hallway to get to the ladies room and the only sound to be heard was the clip - clop of my sandals. It was very scary. Especially when I turned the knob on the sink to see brownish gold colored water pouring out since it hadn't been used in so long. Eeek! Oh and I was walking out I noticed a note, hand written by the maintanence staff, saying "You should not be in this bathroom because no one is working on this floor. Please use the bathroom on the 5th floor" :unsure:

~ I'm super hungry. I have no clue what I will eat for lunch though.

[Larrissa]

who the hell let the paranoia in all quick like that? oh yeah it must have been me

PMS is simply evil

what else? the cat howled all night

[Obsidian_Cat]

Hmmm.... SIMS with gentics, now even I might like that!

Fiddler's Green, or no Fiddler's Green - I can't decide.

Lunch was frozen and shaped like a box, feh.
<_<

[chaoticcrafts]

1 I need to get offline @ work

2. Nervousness.org is addicting

3. I am getting hungry for my forgotten lunch

[Larrissa]

my daddy-o made french toast for breakfast

going back to longmont today, already

i hope theres mail waiting for me

[Obsidian_Cat]

Lunchtime is almost over...

I have to pack for a high school event on Saturday.

I don't feel like loading the car!

[namelessgirl]

i have a presentation and a paper due tomorrow. ugh.

why isn't larrissa on IM? :o

sandwiches are good but french toast would have been better :P

[Curlita]

Now I am hungry for french toast.

Have been consumed with what our post-baby budget will look like. 80% of my current income seemed like a lot until I actually started budgetting with it.

Need more sleep. Too grumpy to be around people.

[Cuilanië]

PMS has claimed me.

And Shakira's been replaced with something worse. I don't even want to know what the 'artist' is called.

Call that music? This makes me want to retaliate with Ministry or something...

:evil:
