Three random facts:

[Obsidian_Cat]

My head hurts all the way down to my toes...

Yet I keep staring at the computer screen!

I should do laundry...

[gwensmom]

Oh God. I just read Jennifer's (Othellosmom) post that Othello has died. :'(

Gwen has not felt good all week and may miss the first day of school tomorrow if she's not better.

Today I was thinking about people who aren't around any more like Hainlam, Ohpossum and Insipid.

[Larrissa]

i havent thought of the way i butted in here like that in a long time ...

i work 7 freaking hours today. who is a wuss?

this is getting a little strange. i dont know what to decide about it still ...

[Obsidian_Cat]

I know it's Sunday morning, but...

How come nobody's answering their phones - doesn't anybody want to go to Wal-Mart with me?

Fine... I go to hick-central by myself... :P

[Larrissa]

i went to walmart yesterday and bought black pants and shoes for w :P rk ...

i plan on doing a whole lot of nothing until its time to go

allegedly i was on the phone most the night

[chaoticcrafts]

I'd like to go to Wal-Mart, but son still asleep, hate to go alone

Went to OzzFest yesterday w/ex :( love of my life...had fun tho...made me forget (for a while) why I dumped him

wish he would get his shit straight as I would like to try again...am I insane? :unsure:

[Lilac]

I don't want to do anymore work today! Waaaaaaaaaa :'(

My father's horse scares me. I hated going out there this morning and putting him in the pasture. He knows I'm afraid of him, too, the bastard.

I have blisters between my thumbs. :(

[kamoke]

Today was the first sunday I've had off since, honestly, forever.

I'm making no name macaronie and cheese
yum!

I'm supposed to call this random girl because she wants to drink liquids and talk about art. She is going to be highly upset me thinks :lol:

[Cuilanië]

I just woke up from a nap. I didn't sleep much last night.

I think I forgot to have coffee today.

I need a shower to put my mind back into working order.

[kamoke]

I wanna go get some paint

i fear I won't be in the mood when I get home

I haven't made my mind up on this whole logan thing yet

[Larrissa]

:D ahh, deep breath and a purposeless grin just happened.

i had a mountain of fruit and scrambled eggs for breakfast

i refuse to be productive today, until work anyway ...

[Larrissa]

i just realized, i need to wash these pants as they are coated in cat hair

assboy is mowing the lawn right now

i finally changed the cd in the stereo from outkast to a mix cd .. was going on 2 weeks with speakerboxx .... the computer music is always different though - 800 songs on shuffle/repeat ...

[Lilac]

My son won't go out biking with me. I guess that means I have to stay home and mow the lawn. Work, work, work.

I need a friend, that lives close, that doesnt have kids, who likes doing the things I like, who is spontaneous....

I just want to have fun. :(

[tanagee]

I also read the post about Othello, I never "knew" him or his mom but it makes me really sad, and scared for Harrison.

It also makes me feel so blessed to have my bratty but still perfect in every way Megan.

I am also scared for the future baby I want to have...Off to take my folic acid and vitamins.

[tanagee]

I had to go to Kinko's last night and make copies of my hubby's price list for the swap meet today. He stayed home and got Megan ready for bed.

I took the opportunity of Megan not being with me and bought her 2 My Little Pony's for our trip to Chicago. I am going to keep them a surprize until she gets fussy on the plane.

I picked one of them because it had a triad on its flank, and I have a tattoo of one on my back. :P

[Larrissa]

the joys of "wasted" hours online ...

the fact is these arent facts, just in the style "three lines"

i need to sort my mountain of papers, again. art paper, collage paper, personal paper, and would you believe i have kept every note and envelope from nervousness mail? its a small mountain by itself.

[Bugitha]

1. I never like salads that I make as much as I like salads other people make.

2. I ran into 2 guys I used to work with at the store today. I remebered I had a terrible crush on one of them the whole time we worked together, but standing in the store today I couldn't remember why.

3. last time I checked in on 3RF, there were fewer than a thousand pages.

[Cuilanië]

There are days when I'm annoyed with myself for not accomplishing much, and there are days I'm not. Today, I'm not.

My feet need soaking and care. Comes from being barefoot or in sandals all the time.

I think I put on a few pounds, but nothing I can't manage...

[Cuilanië]

5

and

1/2

[Dalmaney]

5.

All my kids have gone home and it is very quiet here.

We're having a BBBQ for the tutors in a few minutes. Should be fun.

[siafu]

i went to mediation training yesterday

i slept like fourteen hours afterward

i had vivid dreams of being chased by the fbi. i wouldn't kill them. i duct taped one into a phone booth.

[Larrissa]

i havent remembered my dreams for months

this makes me feel cheated

i ate a feast just then

[Lilac]

For all those who are wondering, that is not my real hair in my avatar. :lol: I just like the way I look as a blonde and think I'll keep that picture up there for awhile. (since I'd never be brave enought to actually do something that drastic with my hair!)

My son and I went to the park and rode bikes. He refuses to ride out back, up in the fields with me anymore since he wiped out. But guess what, he wiped out twice at the park today!

I guess Larrissa is "sandwich slinging" about now. Poor child.

[Skilyne]

I'm home from camping...it was a lot of fun, and I wish I could have stayed down there.

The rest of my family and relatives are down there for the rest of the week, but naturally...I've got work. Ahhh...such is life.

I feel kinda cheated that the site was up this weekend...I was so glad I was going to miss the downtime, and now I didn't... :P

[kamoke]

my night turned out to be so damn hilarious :lol:

I wish you all could have been there!

and now, I watch a filum: Triplets of belleville

[sarahkate]

~ This past week just sucked and I'm glad to be leaving it behind. :(

~ I went to my cowoker/friend's funeral on Friday. That was a very sad thing. :'(

~ I have a new obsession with the band Coheed and Cambria. :wub:

[Helquin]

Existential gears are shifting. In acknowledgement of that fact, I repackaged myself. New avatar, new signature, new profile pic.

I would show Lilac how I looked as a platinum blonde, but I'm still not clear about how to get pics to appear here ---> :wave:

I ended up having a pretty productive day after all.

Don't ask me how that happened... :huh:

[Lilac]

Wow! I love the new profile pic, Helquin!

I also love your artwork! I couldnt help but take a peek at the gallery when I heard that you had posted!

Hooray for Helquin's new scanner!!!!

[Helquin]

Aw, thanks Lilac :blush:

I gotta admit, now that I'm posting in the gallery I want everyone to check it compulsively. :lol:

I hadn't looked in there since they first started, and there is so much great work on display! I'm loving it.

Also loving the scanner now that I've read the instructions. :lol:

[Lilac]

My son loves to make "coupons."

I used this one to make him go bike riding with me today.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/bikeride.jpg

Ha!

[Skilyne]

LOL Lilac! :D

Helquin...I really like your artwork!

I'm going to post some of mine one of these days, but for now I am stuck on photos. :P I just posted more in the family thread...

[Lilac]

The rabbit cage needs to be cleaned...desperately!

I need a Tums...I have wicked heartburn!

Maybe if I'd have eaten a normal dinner I wouldnt be suffering right now.

[Skilyne]

It's already 10:55!!! :o Where does the time go??!!

I am not entirely looking forward to work tommorow, but I am not entirely dreading it either.

I've got some crummy music playing on the radio, but I'm feeling to lazy to get up and change it.

[Gingersmack]

It's 9:10 pm

Two of my three kidlets are in bed.

I made two groovy decos thus far today - woot!

[Lilac]

I can't sleep again. I'm getting the "Monday morning jitters" already.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. :(

boo hoo for me.

[Helquin]

I'd like to register an official complaint: my life keeps interrupting these chain games. :lol:

I know mentioning cigs on a message board is practically an invitation to be flamed, but I gotta say I'm enjoying these Camel "Twista Lime" cigarettes I bought today. Plus they come in a great little 3" x 3.5" tin. woohoo!

I found some old pics last night & got a kick out of how much I've changed in just 7 years.

[Lilac]

Okay, I'm going to post a picture from my little artist and then I'm going to go to bed.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/man.jpg

And now Goodnight to all!

[Lilac]

*Can you tell I've been playing with my scanner tonight? :lol:

[Helquin]

That pic is great! :lol: I especially love the eyes.

Sorry work is such a bummer, Lilac... Sending good thoughts eastward. Hope they reach you by morning. ;)

Otherwise we're gonna have to rely on those jock-itch pixies Larrissa was unleashing yesterday... :o

[Larrissa]

heheh you people make me laugh. so much.

work wasnt so bad. its making me tougher.

though a few times tonight some sort of tension would build up behind my eyes and i would have to breath instead of cry.

thing is, it was a very slow night. very slow. its just i am being trained in a couple days with information that should reasonably take a month.

so much more than slinging sandwiches miss lilac .. :D

and helquin, you look quite satisfied on that porch.

im going to say, its nice to get home and then come over and sit down to see all of you ...

"see", yeah. you know what i meant.

[Helquin]

I am the poster boy for satisfaction! :lol:

That is the porch of 387 East Water Street. I'm waiting on the mailman! ;)

I think I've reached my plateau at #7 in the post-count rankings. :rolleyes:

[Dalmaney]

I should be sleeping, but can't.

I miss the Boy and want to see him... but can't.

I want to get a new haircut... but can't. At least until I go home to Saskatoon.

[tanagee]

Helquin, Skilyne and I are scanning fools with our new scanners.

My hubby and I spent an hour trying to decide where to go for dinner, he was so tired he didn't have a taste for anything special and I was so hungry I could have eaten anything at that point.

We ended up just going to Coco's down the street and I got the appetizer sampler. I had a craving for gooey Mozzerella cheeze sticks and chicken fingers and it was perfect!

[hammerquill]

Depending on how you count it, I had a 48 or 54 or maybe 60-65 hour week. Then again, I also worked both days last weekend, though not anywhere near full time.

This week also began and ended with long days of hard work. I got home tonight after 11pm, at the end of the last and hardest day of the show (six hours of tear-down, packing, and unloading, at the end of a seven hour day, at the end of a two-week week...)

I'm tired.

[hammerquill]

At the show I got to see my ex whom I haven't seen in years, and her family, and my high-school art teacher, and several friends expected and unexpected, and got to meet Meika for the first time.

I didn't sell anything of mine, but I have to try making flower sconces again to see how much I don't want to make them, and therefore how much I'll ask this shop to pay for them...

I just managed to avoid running over one of the stupidest (o)possums around, on the way home tonight.

[Cuilanië]

I have a crick in the neck that started yesterday. I tried all kinds of things to get rid of it, but no luck so far. Time to put the hot-water bottle to work, I guess...

I also woke up with a tearing headache, though that's settling down into a manageable ache.

Morning weather here: cool and humid. Rain later on would not surprise me much.

[Cuilanië]

Coffee. I can feel it waking up my cells...

I'm still out of cereal and bananas. No breakfast until I go to the grocery store.

Looking outside, I realised that we had rain sometime in the early hours of the morning...

[Helquin]

Has anyone ever thought of making a Nervousness mix CD based on the "What Song is Playing Right Now" thread?

Do people post there only when a really good song is playing, or just at random? Does it matter?

Are these facts?

It feels random anyway. :huh:

[Cuilanië]

Yup, I've thought of it. I'm sure other peeps have considered it too... :D

I used to post at random, now I tend to wait until an interesting song is playing...

Okay, I'm going now. Sleep tight, see y'all later! :wave:

[gwensmom]

Watch out for that evil rabbit cage!

I just took Gwen to her first day of school. I had barely gotten home and breathed a sigh of relief when they called and told me I have to come back and sign some things or they can't give Gwen her medicine. :angry:

I was hoping the school would have a new principal this year, but no such luck.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Cool idea for the mix cd.

Like the new avatar, Helquin!

I post my songs randomly, but since I'm listening at work and have no radio reception, I listen to LaunchCast, which picks songs based on how I rate them - so it tends to play things I like....

:D

[Lilac]

I hate my job. I really, truly hate this place.

Well, not the job so much, but the office politics, gossip, pettiness, cattiness...

Calgon - Take Me Away!!!!!

[kamoke]

isn't calgon something you clean your floors with.. ;)

I got asked to photograph a wedding but turned it down. Im not quite sure why though..

it's beautiful here today

[kamoke]

I'm seriously starting to think a tornado has come through this place.. it's a disaster

hot dogs for breakfast was great! and I think fruit cocktail is in order as well!

the last two days I have been feeling motivated! I rock!

[Dalmaney]

I think I will get to go home tomorrow! All I have to stick around for is a meeting with the boss folk at 10:30 am. I should be on the road by noon.

That is really three facts right there, but I'm very excited about leaving, so I'll add a bit more.

We need to get into the high school basement to store stuff, but it is locked.

[Lilac]

Arrrgghhh! I am this><close to walking out of this place!

My head feels like it's about to explode from pent up anger and frustration.

I just want to crawl iinto a hole! :'(

[Obsidian_Cat]

I was starting to feel hungry until I read kamoke's post... :o

I've had a couple of jobs I hated with a passion. The last one I finally gave up and left, wrote my manager a long letter about how I didn't feel I owed them sticking out my notice, since the open hostility was so obvious...

Now I make no money, but I like my job! :P

[Larrissa]

today i woke up jubilant at the fact i dont have to work. :yay:

but i also have the dread of tomowrros closing shift ... :'(

work is wrong. i mean really.

[hammerquill]

I am very glad I don't have to work today, but am somehow not really in the mood for a day off.

It's kind of cloudy and cold here, too, and generally un-day-offish.

I have a project for the Nness Cafepress store, but I don't know if I'll be able to finish it. The deadline (both versions) have just been at the wrong time for me.

[Cuilanië]

The headache that was threatening to split my head down the line from shoulder to shoulder and making my teeth ache is finally loosening its grip.

Too bad it's kinda late now to have a really productive day.

I did buy my ticket to Montréal, though.

[Cuilanië]

Hugs to Lilac and Larrissa for bad job situations!

I'm hungry. But I didn't go to the grocery store. There's still time, though...

I wish Paris would live up to its August reputation and be DRY, damnit.

[tanagee]

I need an intervention.

I am addicted to my scanner.

I guess there are worse things to be addicted to.

[kamoke]

Lilac.. yuck.. but we've all had those days.. ;)

The library didn't have my book, so now I'm sad..

However, I did buy paint and cool postcards so it's alright!

[Larrissa]

ACK! she has the keys! KEYS! to our apartment. granted i wont be there for a month, but still ...

"tell it all" nooooooooooooo

no third for you!

[Larrissa]

i sent it. and now i wait with a nervous belly for it to arrive

this is so silly

and also freaking great

[Cuilanië]

Keerrrist, I'll be divorced in four weeks.

I don't know where I thought I'd be at this age, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't one of the options.

Life has a twisted sense of humour.

[Larrissa]

:o divorced?? i know i should know this story and i know i have heard it awhile back ...

telemundo!

my face hurts. grins aplenty.

[Helquin]

I got great random mail from GwensMom today -- something I've been coveting for my Fortune Teller LMAO. :) Thanks Sarah!

Otherwise my life kinda took a wacky detour into chaos today, so the rest of this week should be unnecessarily hectic as I wrestle with roadmaps <_<

We've been having the weirdest weather around here lately...

[Cuilanië]

Originally posted by Larrissa@Aug 9 2004, 09:50 PM

Well yeah, it's kind of all over my posts here... and about time that legal detail was taken care of. It's been nearly two years since my ex left.

Speaking of whom, he shocked me today with talk of maybe moving back in here after I leave...

I think I'll have soup for dinner. I feel that headache lurking, lurking...

[zanna]

i've got less than 2 weeks until i move up to the dorms in atlanta.

i'm so excited and scared.

i've never moved in my life. i've always lived in the same town, in the same house since i was born. :unsure:

[Dalmaney]

Everything has been moved into storage.

Except my stuff which I have to move home instead.

I get free supper tonight. Woohoo!

[Cuilanië]

See, I've a hard time fathoming that. I've never lived within the same walls for more than five years. The average is 3 years, two months. And I'll be moving again in two months.

I'm using R.E.M. as a musical counter-measure tonight.

Gonna get that soup now.

[indigo]

I miss being able to just pick up my phone and call my sister on my breaks at work. I want them HOME!!! :'(

I am anxiously awaiting a telephone call regarding another job. They have called two of my references which is a REALLY good sing but still I am scared to think it might actually be true... :unsure:

I am still chilled to the bone from the other day at the fair when I walked around with my son and his friend in the POURING RAIN for nine hours!!!!!!!!! :blink:

[tanagee]

I broke a little votive candle sending shards of glass all over the kitchen.I now either still have a sliver of glass in the bottom of my foot, or it still hurts really bad.

I really need to buy printer ink before my printer revolts from me printing on fumes.

I have the munchies 'cuz I am bored, maybe I should go fold laundry to keep me occupied. :P

Same here! Since birth I don't think I've inhabited the same house for more than 5 years, and as an adult my record is just shy of 3 years.

Last month was my 3rd anniversary in this house, so I've set a new record. :lol:

I almost never get headaches, but I've got a wicked one today and it's not responding to aspirin. <_<

[kamoke]

I made a weird supper.. but it tastes great!

apparently everyone wants to make plans with me tonight

VK

[siafu]

omg omg i won tickets!

i won them responding to this: according to glamour magazine, 75% of women secretly like it when men do this--catcall or wolf whistle, i said!!!

i also got a $100 gift certificate to a burrito place. lotsa burritos!

(oh ya. the tickets are for the ineffable joan jett!!)

!!!!!

:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

[velma]

Congrats! Enjoy the show! :)

I went flea-ing yesterday and found some good ephemera--also took lots of photos.

We built a walkway over the edge of the pond today--the better to interact with the ducks! (There's also lovely dragonflies, like the one below who was kind enough to hold still for his portrait:)


http://guerillart.org/nness/dragonfly1.jpg

[Skilyne]

BIG HUGS for Lilac and her troubles at work!!!

I've had a weird sort of day...and I still have not reached a verdict on how I feel about it. It's a long story. But I just don't know...it feels like I just don't know anything.

I hate this feeling. Or, I WOULD hate it if I even knew what it was.

[Larrissa]

feelings! those intrusive bastards wont leave me alone lately ... <_<

i went on a walk, long walk, saw a pelican :o

had a chicken sandwich from burger king for dinner

[Dalmaney]

I have prepared my car for my escape and put about half my stuff into it.

I don't want to go drinkin' tonight, so I think I'll just do my laundry and maybe watch a video in peace.

*happy dance* Going home going home going home.

[Lilac]

I just freaking got home! I had the nasty surprise of two slashed tires when I left work today. I'm so F*cking pissed off right now it's not even funny. I can't even think straight.

So I get home and my hyper religous grandmother is here watching my son because my mom couldnt stay. The TV is blaring because she's half deaf, she starts preaching to me before I'm even halfway through the front door, the dogs are barking, there is dog pee on the floor, my son is so full of sugar he's bouncing off the walls.... and my head is about to split in half!

I'm trying real hard to be positive about the tire incident and not jump to conclusions thinking that someone I work with would stoop so low as to do such a thing.

[Skilyne]

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Hugs, hugs, and more hugs for Lilac. I'm SO SORRY to hear that happened to you! *more hugs*

My friend in NYC called me and I just spent the last 45 minutes on the phone with her...that was nice.

I'm still not certain how I feel about my issue. I think I won't really know until I go to work tommorow...since it involves 2 of the guys there...one in particular.

[namelessgirl]

i got the keys to my new place today!

so much to do so much to do

i can't wait to have a roomie

[namelessgirl]

i realized that, since moving out of my parents' house when i was 17, i average one move every 7 months. damn!

my fingers don't want to work tonite.

i have much to say, yet no journal updates. hm.

[kamoke]

I have so much going through me that I've become so mellow.. things are about to make an impact soon and it should be overwhelming. I'd like to talk.. but I feel that I'm probably the perfect one to listen right now.
This has just been a day full of information and feelings..

[Helquin]

omg -- Lilac, I'm so sorry to hear about your tires getting slashed. Well, the whole crappy situation, actually: I've had days like that myself. :(

Very weird vibe in the southern Ohio region... An edgy day. Grumpy weather. <_<

Write your ideas down. I know I had a really good idea this afternoon but I can't remember it now. :lol:

[Dalmaney]

I have freshly washed pajamas that are all nice and soft.

I was on the phone for a long time tonight.

My computer is the heaviest thing I have to pack.

[Lilac]

I'm off to bed.

Feeling reeeelaxed, finally.

Larrissa knows why. ;) :lol:

[bluecrayon]

I am in Santa Barbara spinning through the scenery

The triangle has crashed

I'm wondering where I'm landing....

[Helquin]

Blue: :hug:

[frizball]

It's been a while. Got home from the fam. reunion last night and it was good.

I have so much to do and not enough time to do it in. I feel like I get nothing done b/c there are so many things on my list of things to do. As soon as i get one thing on my list scratched off, I remember 20 other things I need to do. :wacko:

All I really want to do is see my friends before I leave. Esp my best friend Matt. I havent seen him but 3 times this summer and maybe that much during the year. It's really hard. I miss him. :(

[CheekilyYours]

I drew for the first time today...for the Mermaid ATC swap.

I also painted for the first time for the Outer Space ATC swap.

I had a lot of fun doing these things and I was pleased because they turned out rather well and it surprised me because I thought that I couldn't do those things. So, now I'm excited about drawing and painting.

[Cuilanië]

cb and Lilac, big, big hugs for the both of you.

Theresa, that's great good news! :)

McAfee drives me bonkers.

[kamoke]

i've been putting off a shower all morning.. but I have to leave for work in about 15 minutes, so I guess it's now or never

my sisters birthday is today

work work work

[wildcherr]

my nose is stuffed up

my feet are cold

and I'm still tired in the morning!

[Lilac]

I had a very frank discussion this morning with two of my superiors about "my situation here in the office." They admitted that they were aware that there was some tension going on and I guess they are going to confront those people involved. I kind of feel like the tattletale kid back in grade school because of this, but I'm just at the end of my rope. We're all supposed to be intelligent people here. There is absolutley no excuse for the behavoir I've been dealing with.

So anyhow, I'll be working on site the rest of this week...and while I'm gone, there's going to be a meeting on "office ettiquette."

I'm sure I'm not going to be any more popular with the group that dislikes me, but at least they'll have to act civil towards me. (hopefully!)

[siafu]

goodonya lilac! the platypus and i are rooting for you.

hi blue! :wub:

i finally have permission to hire domestic help. i'm thrilled.

[Larrissa]

i want a few days away from *that*

i want a month when i get *there*

im so freaking excited about it really ^_^

[tanagee]

:hug: to my big sis!

I am supposed to be at the park right now, but I have a killer headache and it is just too muggy to go anywhere.

I know what I need to do, so why don't I just do it and get it over with!?!

I am so sick of reading the same stories over and over again to Megan that I have started reading them in really goofy voices. She is obsessed with the 3 Pigs right now.

[Cuilanië]

I have the weirdest bits of trivia tucked away in my brain.

I think I'm going to make lemon bars tonight. :)

I need to clear my desk to get stuff done.

[Larrissa]

i am confounded so much so suddenly im dizzy

i need to get started on my day, its after noon already

ive had 8 altoids while sitting here so far this morning, make that 9

[siafu]

ok, so my prize comes with a mexican food party for nine friends. what does mexican food have to do with penises? i got a penis/mexican food tshirt with my prize. :blink:

i talked to a childhood chum this morning. he and his wife have a baby named brooke. he asked me if there was a man in my life. i said.....no, not really. i felt bad for cutting him out of a whole chunk of my life. :ph34r: but...outing oneself is always optional.

the radio station had a really nice couch.

ps list.

breathe, larrissa
tana, i hope you feel better
go lilac, go lilac, go!!
lemon bars! save me one! :wave:

i'll be back later to catch up on nervous correspondence, if anyone wonders.

[Skilyne]

Hugs to all who need them!

Good Job Lilac! You go! :D

Today...eh. It was alright. But I STILL don't know how I feel about certain things...so I am just trying not to think of them. That is a hard task.

[kamoke]

I saw a girl at work that looked like skilyne..

I also got told off for wearing jeans :lol:

and I got out of there a half hour earlier then expected

[kamoke]

My sisters friends are throwing her a party tonight.. I'm too tired right now to drink, but I'm sure to drop down

I need some supper really bad!

which means - you guessed it- I'm hungry!

[Larrissa]

admitting these things is so great. and difficult. i am grinning. :D

and got so distracted i forgot its almost Time. for Work.

i have other things to tell someone else, but havent yet. havent decided to yet. im embarrassed really.

[bluecrayon]

I think I have other colors around myself today instead of only blue

I'm not sure where there is, but I know where here is

I am surrounded by palm trees and people with big teeth...

[Larrissa]

:'( i will live through it

i dont understand how people live lives that dont make them happy

oh wait, i do. it happens. to too many people. im happy, damnit! happy! no really i am. but this work thing is kicking my ass.

i hope to see wonky on msn tonight, so if you see this missy, sign on!

[kittymao]

I think the Gods are smiling on me and it's kind of nice.

It must be because I saw the Camo cat today. He's so sneaky, and wise. He watched me ride my bike by as he sat in his driveway. I said howdy, he just watched.

I miss cats. I REALLY MISS CATS.
sigh.

[bluecrayon]

happy is one of the words I don't trust too much and I don't know what it means exactly...

one's life is an amalgam of lots of colors, not all of them bright and hopeful

for me the struggle is to get to a there I can breathe in and know I am recognized in...

I don't ever expect life to be sanguine.

[Cuilanië]

Tell you what, Theresa, I'll make you some lemon bars when I meet you, wherever that happens. ;) They're still cooling, so I don't really know how they turned out yet.

Hugs (and virtual lemon bars) to anyone who need them... :)

I need to see my chiro. He'll be back from vacation next week, I hope...

[siafu]

what a good deal! i'm sure they're good.

i don't know what to take for snack to mediation class.

is it lame if i take a sleeve of ritz crackers?

[siafu]

why the people got big teeth?

my friend claire got big teeth. it makes her look wholesome

i'm waiting for godot...i mean, the small bus.

[Skilyne]

I love Ritz Crackers...I don't think that would be lame at all. Or maybe it is...but I still wouldn't care! :)

I need to make some rice. I'm craving rice with cheese...and chocolate milk to drink.

I haven't had any rice in about a week...some sort of record!

[Cuilanië]

I'm going to bed now. I only stayed up so I could taste the lemon bars (of course... :rolleyes:).

They turned out okay. I think I messed up the crust a little, but the topping is fine. Verrry good.

The night's kinda cold. I'll be better off under my covers. 'Night everyone! :)

[Helquin]

I always get so temporally disoriented when I read Cuilanië's posts :lol:

I mentally adjust for "California time" quite easily -- it just doesn't work the other way :rolleyes:

Still feeling a very funky vibe prevailing. As Mary Poppins might say, the wind is changing. :huh:

[Skilyne]

I don't know Helquin...perhaps that strange wind is blowing East as well. Things have been so strange here lately...an odd feeling around.

I just successfully completed 8 ATCs that I am quite happy with!

My triangle has become a square of sorts. How do I get myself INTO things like this???!!!

[Helquin]

I'm starting to wonder if the vibe isn't just election-season tension... politics has become such an inflamed topic lately.

I've been wondering what people felt like on the day before the Renaissance started. Likewise: the day before Rome fell.

I had an epiphany today. :lol: Woohoo!

[gwensmom]

We just got back from Baskin-Robbins.

Today was Gwen's first day of staying all day at school! I took a 3 hour nap this morning and almost feel human again.

I made a huuuuuge batch of chicken and rice casserole and will try selling half of it to the girls in my ballet class tomorrow. They said they would buy it, so we'll see.

I bought a new brand of hair color and did a strand test today. Good thing, because it came out much darker than the pic on the box. I liked the product though, because it did not have stinky ammonia in it. So I will get a lighter color and do another test.

In the grocery store today I walked down the aisle with hamburger helper and thought of Hammerquill.

Thinking of cb and hoping she is ok.

Back to work tomorrow after being off for over a week. This is good because my brain needs re-booting.

I hope those freaks in Lilac's office get what's coming to them!

[hammerquill]

I am almost done with my clock face design which was begun for the Nness Cafepress store.

Unfortunately, that was due yesterday. Bad timing.

I'll finish it anyway.

[hammerquill]

Today I printed out my next installment of quotes to research, Eliot through the end of F

This includes Folk Songs.

I therefore have songs I haven't heard since my hippie childhood running through my brain.

[kamoke]

3:40am.. im drunk and happy

me and my sisters friends had a great time tonight

Im ready for bed now though

:)

[Cuilanië]

Time disorientation and distortion is a daily fact of my life.

If I'm not careful, lemon bars will be breakfast.

My fingers are even less awake than the rest of me, owing to the fact that I slept with my arms tucked under the pillow.

[Cuilanië]

I'm not being careful. ^_^

I'm going to make coffee now rather than later.

I have a good reason to go check the gallery today. :)

[Cuilanië]

Reed's design would make a beautiful clock. ^_^

I'm having coffee and trying to recover from the sugar shock of four lemon bars. :)

I've got an 80's French rock-type song running in my head, thanks to my neighbours. Well, better that than the song I woke up with... <_<

[Larrissa]

i talked on the phone three hours last night ... :D :D

i have an address to send harrassment to

the monkey is still loading

[MisaLady]

I'm going to be making shortbread cookies tonight.

Two of my little sisters are spending the night.

We're going swimming soon.

[Larrissa]

i cant believe only misalady posted since then! :o

in our house, not a day goes by without someone walking around singing to themselves, usually moving around in a rocking out manner as well ...

dorkiness appears to be hereditary

[Obsidian_Cat]

Lemon Bars... shortbread... I've gained 5 pounds just reading these posts!

Larrissa, if the monkey's loading, it's time to run for cover.

I wish our staff would stop scaring off my interns!

[Larrissa]

:lol: the monkey was a good monkey ... wonkys tattoo ...

hurricanes, eh? never considered that part of living next to the ocean :o

"gettin camaro" i think thats good news

[Obsidian_Cat]

You just gave me a great idea... must go to the toy store!!!

Now I'm excited...

I've actually done a lot of work today, imagine that. :P

[Larrissa]

i just remember the days mission. cleaning the garage. i started it ...

now im just hanging out online waiting for him to get back and for her to quit working so we can talk

whew, life moves too fast for me

[siafu]

i'll be your intern, obsidian

i shined my sink

i have to make reservations for the small bus tomorrow

[bluecrayon]

I am "hiding out" in a library in Malibu today...

I am supposed to be editing someone's screenplay...

but I am needing to take a break after 2 hours of slogging through the gunplay.

[tanagee]

I am so f@*king pissed I could spit!!! :angry: :yell:

One of the mom's (I am assuming, because I doubt a 2-4 year-old would do that) STOLE $10 bucks out of my wallet today at Megan's class!!!!

Now I cannot mail out my Freaky Geekies and ATC's! :'(

:wave: to cb who is on the other side of the hills from me.

[Curlita]

I can't find my work keys and it's driving me crazy. I've called everyplace I was yesterday and now I need to hope that they are somewhere in my house.

We signed all the papers for buying and selling houses last night. We're getting more money back than we thought!

That means that we might be able to buy a new car to replace my husband's sad, tired 1968 VW Bug, which has been known to spontaneously combust. Occasionally the windshield wiper motor just dies, too.

[siafu]

aw tana. i'm sorry!

yay for mr. curlita.

on a completely unrelated note, my house is looking spicker and spanner. sweeet.

[Catski]

1. Tomorrow I must walk almost a mile to post three parcels!
2. I'm currently reading Bridget Jones' Diary - again.
3. I'm addicted to the old Disney cartoons - Sword In The Stone, anyone?

[Curlita]

Heh heh. I should point out that we would get rid of his flammable VW and he would get my somewhat newer 1993 Dodge Shadow, and I would get the new (well, new to us) car.

To eat my yogurt or not to eat my yogurt? That is the question.

Only one more hour until I can go home. Whee!

[Larrissa]

i am here again.

one can only be right where they are.

i have the garage half done.

[zanna]

i cried today.

i haven't for a very long time.

please don't tell anyone.

[tanagee]

Well, I called Megan's teacher and left her a message about my $$.

I just washed my car, it gets sooo dirty in my "driveway" (my dirt backyard).

Megan and I are drinking ice water and watching the news.

[Larrissa]

lately my crying has been caused by something that makes absolutely no sense. and i still havent told him.

i havent told because its embarrassing.

but doesnt a person deserve to know what other feel about them???

[Obsidian_Cat]

Thanks Siafu - I promise I'll make it interesting, not all filing and clerical work!

Tana - sorry to hear about your theft, that happened to me once. It was $20, and it just felt like a huge violation!

I'm hosting my first exchange as a real girl, how exciting! :P

[Skilyne]

My nose has been bloody all day. I don't know why.

I haven't cried in awhile...which is actually quite good considering all that has gone on lately.

I'm happy to see Erica I back...and I am sorry that happened Tana!

[Larrissa]

it hurts! damn my emotions!

i must spill it

its going to make things awkward ...

[Skilyne]

My nose is still bloody. This is getting annoying.

I've been working hard on my Tagalog lessons.

Mahilig akong na nasa bahay lang.

[tanagee]

I am thinking of selling some blood products so I can send out my mail and get my hair cut...did you actually do it T?

I bought a garbage disposal today, I put it on my visa and will worry about paying for it next month.

The local news pimped that they were going to run a story about a woman that hadn't gotten off her couch in so long she actually GREW in to the couch and I missed the story.

[Lilac]

Must go get things ready...:(

Good Luck to Larrissa ;) :hug:

Skilyne, maybe you should check your blood pressure! I know that sometimes nosebleeds are casued by a sudden rise in BP! :hug:

[Skilyne]

I might have missed something. Where is Lilac going?

I should be going to bed soon, because I was so tired at work today.

Will I? No...I am stubborn and will probably stay up for at least another hour or so.

[Larrissa]

damn! i am reminded of the mission. we were having innocent conversation and then you have to remind me. :lol:

i have to i have to i have to

we have a right to know the things going on in the psychic landscape about ourselves, right??

[MisaLady]

Somehow, the swimming and my nap has caused my the tightness that I felt in my back for the past two days to be gone.

I don't know how that happened.

Alton Brown is on TV now!

[Obsidian_Cat]

Alton Brown... :wub:

Now I'm hungry...

Why don't I just go to bed, why?

[gwensmom]

Oh god, she is loading up her shotgun and will give those nasty co-workers what's coming to them!

In a series of random comic errors, gwensdad and I both made mistakes setting our alarm clocks last night. This resulted in our getting up at 1:15 a.m. thinking it was 5:00 a.m.

I did my workout and took a shower. Gwensdad dragged the poor old dog out of bed (dog is usually waiting at the door) and they went around the block. When Gwensdad got home he noticed that it was not getting any lighter and checked the kitchen clock. He came in the bathroom where I was drying my hair to tell me it was freaking 2:00 a.m.

We went back to bed and I stayed there until 5:45 because I had already exercised and showered.

They bought all my casseroles tonight and want me to make them low carb casseroles. That does not sound tasty to me at all!

[Skilyne]

OH WOW Sarah! That would suck! But...at least you got showering and working out done early :)

I just posted a piece of my artwork in the gallery.

I am still REALLY enjoying my scanner.

[Larrissa]

i dont think im going to tell tonight, unless somehow the subject of :wub: comes up ...

:huh: why must i have two situations at once!?

im chilling here, and have been for hours

[bluecrayon]

love is making me crazy and cranky and sad...

it's like this million piece puzzle and all the pieces are colorless and clueless

sometimes I wish that part of me would just go get drunk and dance with a rich stranger...

:lol: Naw, nothing so sinister...ahhh, but I can fantasize!

Going out of town for work, that's all.

I don't really want to, but at least it gets me out of the office. I havent been back since the "office etiquette meeting." Yikes! I'm scared to go back!!!!

[siafu]

tana, i emailed you the details of a bloodless coup.

i should go drink some ice water too!

i watched some stupid movie about genetically altered killer babboons tonight.

[Gingersmack]

It's official, as of today, I will be moving asap.

New city, new home...

My head is spinning a bit...

[zanna]

i've had a beer.

not everything seems so bad.

especially now that i watched some x-files.

[Helquin]

I promised myself I'd go to bed at midnight, and here I am spinning through chain games at 1:30 a.m. <_<

I don't feel tired at all. :mellow:

I made a cool card today and I think I know just where to send it... :ph34r:

[frizball]

I hung out with some friends tonight and it was fun...most of the time

I suck BALLS at bowling. I cannot seem to figure out how to...roll the ball down the lane in a straight line. I just hum it and it goes all over :ph34r:


We have made a habit of getting together and watching the Sunday Night Sex Show on oxygen. Ol' sue cracks us up, and so do the callers asking about putting pickles up thier bum :lol:

[Cuilanië]

Good morning! (This to time-confuse y'all) :P

I made coffee. Now I will drink it. Maybe I'll even have breakfast.

Sarah Gwen's Mom's story about getting up in the middle of the night was hilarious. Not comfortable for them I guess, but still... I'm usually just starting to consider going to bed at that kind of hour. ;)

[Obsidian_Cat]

:lol: Looks like morning to me!!!

Oh, that means I should be grouchy... :o

Who wants to bring me some blueberry pancakes? I'm hungry.

[kamoke]

i've been cleaning and things are starting to shape up

Thankfully I am not working at all today on this most wonderful day!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/brownley/niceday.jpg

well, I must eat and finish what needs to be done! :D

[Serenity]

I'm at work right now (do others check nervounsess while working?!)

The place smells of coffee (coffee break just over)

I hate coffee.

lol :lol:

[siafu]

obsidian, i'm the intern, i'll bring the pancakes

bluuuuuuuuuue, i hope you feel better soon!

jon bon jovi is going to be in the park on friday. i think it will be too far to walk, and i doubt the small bus will be able to get close enough, so i will have to miss asking jon for hair tips. we'll see. prognosis: poor.

zzzzzzzzz l8r g8rs.

[zanna]

i think i may be going to the club tonight.

i've been 18 for at least half a year and i've yet to go to one single club.

i also think i may be going to meet this kid named scott that i met on the internet a few days ago. i just don't get it ..as soon as i've got to move off for college i meet all these cool people i didn't know lived so close by! grrr!!

[Obsidian_Cat]

Siafu, you are the best intern I've had by far!!!

I could use some hair tips today, mine has fallen flat. The curls have taken a vacation. And I forgot my dorky barrette!

It's hot and humid here, but my office is freezing. My toes are actually cold! Brrrrrrr....

[Larrissa]

i have to post to mark my place for future reading ...

its the first post of the day

i should pack some more today

[Skilyne]

I am in so much pain it is not even funny...stupid period. This is the worst I've had it in years. Seriously it hurts so bad that I keep having to catch my breath. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH............

I'm laying here with my laptop on my abdomen hoping that the weight and the heat helps.

I miss him.

In happier news, I got mail today!!! YIPPEE!!!

[tanagee]

Hubby and I installed the disposal last night...boy what a can of worms we opened with this household repair. sigh.

I forgot about the meteor shower last night so we were out at 1 am trying to see if it was still visible. Only saw one streaking across the sky. It did not help that we have a streetlight right outside our yard.

There is some jack-hammering going on down the street...must investigate.

[tanagee]

Hope Erica II feels better soon. :hug:

Thanks for the bloodless coup idea Theresa.

And I would take you to see JBJ if I was in Portland, I also wish I could go to your Mexican food fiesta. I :wub: Mexican food.

[Skilyne]

Thanks Tana! :)

I'm laying here now...laptop still on my lap and watching trashy TV.

I'm also uploading more photos...so I can add another picture or 2 of my art in the gallery.

[zanna]

goddamn rain and clouds prevented me from being able to see it :(

i was really sad.

but now i'm just hungry.

[bluecrayon]

I have sent some postcards off -- but I have no address for Larrissa and Gwensmom! So either or you or both of you email me your addresses!!!! well, only if you want a postcard from me, I guess... :D

I am off to Malibu once more today to work with my client...

I don't even want to think about love today or him or there or this or it or me...

[Skilyne]

Hugs to CB! :hug:

For some unknown reason, my room smells like lettuce. I haven't had any lettuce around for about a week!!!

I should really eat something...I haven't been eating well for a few days. Maybe I'll go make myself some tea and make a sandwich.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Last night was too cloudy for meteors, tonite looks to be too cloudy as well.... PPpppfffttt. :P

Skilyne - I feel your pain, more often than I'd like! This sounds weird, but you know what helps? Sit-ups. Try ten or so, it actually loosens the muscles that contract and cause the cramps. Other than that, heavy drugs and sleep for a week! :o

My right hand is strangely bruised - wonder what I did there?

[zanna]

i'm going to go meet another person i met off the internet in about an hour.

sheesh. i swear i want to tell all of you to go visit myspace.com ..it really has some great people, but then i think about the age group that it's really geared towards ..

but if you like early twenty-ish people ..you really should have a look. i didn't know so many cool people lived near me!

[Skilyne]

WOW! THANKS Obsidian_Cat! Doing a few sit-ups helped a bit. Not completely, but the pain is a bit relieved. Very happy. :D

I'm going to take some pain meds as well.

I'm also going to see if I can make some ATCs...I'm feeling inspired, but it all depends on if I feel like sitting up that long. :P

[Cuilanië]

Ok, that's it. I've had it. I'm cleaning my desk.

I hope this impulse will last long enough for me to get off the computer and actually do it...

I have a real longing to be elsewhere right now.

[Cuilanië]

<-- queen procrastinator. I'm still here, ain't I?

I'm going to make lemon bars again this weekend. To improve my technique, of course.

I often type 'my' when I mean 'by'. Weird typo to make...

Special bonus on the heels of that last fact: I am not looking forward to having to switch back, AGAIN, to a North American keyboard. But it must be done.

[stale_laughter]

not sure if this is still going on here, but three random facts about myself:
1. when i tell a story, i tend to give many details and drift from whatever point i may have had
2.i own a pair of green pants with white polka dots and orange stitching
3. once, when i was about 7 years old, me and my friend crazy glued our index fingers to each other :blush:

Good, glad it helped. See, I am good for some things! :P

stale_laughter: Really, we try to post facts about ourselves. That's a fact!

It's also a fact that lemon bars are one of my favoritest things in the world.

[siafu]

1--i sent the muggle next door to get me change; i'm buying him a soda as compensation.

2--ok, i need a little bit of help to get my house in shape, right? i put an ad on craigslist. i got a ton of responses--including from people with two degrees that speak three languages. noooo...if you clean my house, i'll feel bad! so, a college student wrote me. and her references were stellar. so i wrote someone back and said, thanks for writing but i made arrangements for the month of august.

they wrote back and said, well, by september i probably won't have a house.

hey! no trying to make me feel guilty. a couple of hours a week cleaning my house isn't going to make all those problems go away! i'm upset that they wrote that, but admittedly probably not as upset as they are to possibly lose their house.

3--i had wendy's. it would be good if i would stop eatiing crap.

ok, i cheated, but it is the ferenghi way.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'd be worried about someone that's in that desperate of financial shape anyway. I think your college student was a wise move!

I don't want to wish my life away, but I realllly wish August was over with! :o

I've been sleeping so badly this week that last night I dreamed my doctor sent me a bag of sleeping pills.... even my subconscious wants a break!! :lol:

[kamoke]

the other night i dreamt I killed my landlord and there were kung-fu masters sleeping in his house

i wish i could figure out how to use the sewing maching! I want to make silly clothes!

and.. i ate the rest of my fruit cocktail! yum!!

[kittymao]

my legs were stiff when I woke up (never wearing those shoes again...) so i called in to work.

i slept in to 11, and then did some much needed nervy work. I still am shocked at how much free time I still have.

And then, I feel guilty. I should not be on this machine.

[Curlita]

I stopped at the store on the way in and bought a latte, a salad, pesto tortellini, and two chocolate chip cookies. The decadence!

Two more nights in our house and then I get to start sleeping in my NEW room in my NEW house - the one I got to help pick out, not J's first wife!

My best friend is coming to visit me next weekend AND she just found a house too! These are all happy things.

[Curlita]

Is anyone else going nuts wondering how Julie is doing??

My back aches. I need to do some yoga.

I am wondering where Gingersmack is moving to...

[gwensmom]

I have a sinus infection! :angry: I hate being sick because I can't stop slogging and rest.

My sister lives in FL and I am worried that the hurricanes will get her.

It is a glorious day here- sunny and unseasonably cool.

[Cuilanië]

We're having winter weather. Well, okay... late fall weather. Cold enough to sting. I closed my window for the first time in weeks.

Sorry to hear about the sinus infection, Sarah... :( Hope you get well quick!

My roommate is listening to 'yo' music - you know, the kind where you hear 'yo, yo, come on!' every 10 seconds... oh jeez, it's a medley. :wacko:

[Larrissa]

yo! i say :lol: i got called into work early damn it damn it damn it

i got another bill for my hospital visit, the total is up to 1500.00 now ..

i really need to contact CICP and get this taken care of soon. but not today.

[Cuilanië]

I do wonder how Julie is doing... I want to see baby pics!!!

34 days. I'll join Obsidian Cat in wishing August was over and done with!

I've already decided what I'll wear to go to the airport. This is most uncharacteristic of me. :blush:

[Skilyne]

La-La-La...took some pain meds and now I am not in any pain!!! But I am also feeling slightly...strange. :P

I hope you feel better Sarah! Sinus infections are no fun...

I just finished 5 ATCs...so some progress has been made.

[gwensmom]

I just want to eat everything I see. Some people stop eating when they get sick, but I do the opposite.

I'm making cookies tonight if I am not too tired.

I should have bought some popsicles for my sore throat.

[Larrissa]

the fact that this bothers me so little makes things a little if-y

i must remember to dry my work clothes in a few minutes.

i better as fuck not be closing by myself tonight. im so not ready.

[Larrissa]

ive been dizzy the past two days. alot. i dont know why.

i have a few minutes until the prep time of work

productive actions today: a load of laundry. talked to sara. ate food. showered. ummm, not much else.

[Skilyne]

I just filled out the FridayFive.org questions...WOW! That is a long one!

It is the perfect night out there...but as I don't feel well enough to drag my body outside, I've got the windows open and the curtains open...and I'm enjoying it all from in here.

Tommorow is FRIDAY!!!

[zanna]

i feel so horrible.

i just found out that i have almost no chance of getting any help from the courts on my speeding ticket.

it looks like i will loose my license for at least a year ..and i go to college in a week! :'( :'( :'( :'( oh god i need my car. :'( :'( :'(

[siafu]

i'm hot

i have class

open swim is half price tomorrow

[Helquin]

I sent surprise mail today in a new (to me) kind of handmade envelope... I hope it gets to its destination in one piece!

I had an insane online shopping splurge last night. When I saw the e-mail order confirmations this morning I wondered what in the heck I was thinking! :huh:

The weather around here is just perverse; the mood even moreso. People are scaring me. :ph34r:

:lol:

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'm not staying, must do some creating tonite!

I swear, I'm just catching up... I'm not here to play.

Just one or two posts, that's all. :lol:

Been there, done that! :lol:

I tried that looong Friday Five thing again... started from the bottom this time & made it to 5 before my head exploded :lol:

I'm making handmade envies tonight. Who wants mail? :lol:

[Skilyne]

Ohhh...MAIL! Me Helquin! Over here! :wave:

I'm going to write a few letters in a minute...I'm feeling wordy.

I'm also going to take some more pain meds so I can sleep tonight...and off to work tommorow again! Oh yippee. :P

[tanagee]

I want to buy a bathing suit from Lands End, but it is $60 (on sale) and I can't rationalize spending that much money on a suit.

The other issue I am having with the suit is that the top half, middle and bottom half of my body all require different sizes :wacko:

I also do not want to be THIS size so I don't want to spend that much money on something that I either won't be able to wear next summer because I will be PG or skinnier...although PG it might still fit.

Oh, cool -- I have a great idea for Skilyne. B)

I made a Fortune Teller (or "Cootie Catcher") out of cardstock & discovered today that the structure is strong enough to support a heavy crystal bowl... this could have rich potential...

Betty calls across the cosmos to say that our funky flux is Mercury's retrograde motion (9 August through 2 September). Um, ok. <_<

Oh yeah! I am excited... :)

I am heading off to bed soon, but not before I eat something. Hmmm...what to eat?

I know what you mean about bathing suits Tana. I couldn't spend that much on a suit either! And I hate buying suits anyways...because I've got such a small chest and I don't feel they flatter me nicely. :P Oh well.

[zanna]

i'm going out to the club tonight.

never been in all my months of being 18.

all i'm hoping is to forgot about how crappy i really feel ..

[hammerquill]

I spent most of today at the studio cleaning up. And just cleaning one little bit, too.

I also did a little work on the website, and found more that needs doing (as ever), though some of it has already been done, and then undone. GRR.

Fennel-fig sourdough bread from Arizmendi for dinner. GOOD.

[kamoke]

The head, it duth ache!

4 hours of work tomorrow sounds like fun!

im going to bed. i want to swear a lot. yehow! :naughty:

[oreogrl1]

Just finished a handmade photo postie
I want to upload pics of my new atc's and postie
I need some chapstick

[tanagee]

Found a cool bathing suit for $37.98, $46.97 with shipping ...technically it is shorts and a tank. But that is what I have been searching for.

Had to *gasp* talk to a real live person to order it because every time I would try to checkout on the website I would get a C++ run time error and it would kick me off the internet. GRRR. :angry:

Now I start to worry about if it is going to fit me ok, because I may not have enough time to re-order before I leave on my trip. :unsure:

Well, at least if worse comes to worse and I have to wear my other suit I won't have to worry about Greenpeace trying to roll me back into the water since Lake Michigan doesn't have whales. :lol:

[chiquitaban]

-i am still soaked because i stupidly twirled around in the rain like a 5 year old when i got out of the car

-the only thing keeping me warm is my handmade nerd sweatshirt and fuzzy rainbow slippers

-i am so tired that i cant sleep.
<3

[Cuilanië]

I'm not awake yet. It's easy to confuse me.

I'm cold.

I don't want coffee this morning. Weird.

[Larrissa]

i am so exhausted i can do nothing but this

i closed the freaking store myself

it was a little scary

[bluecrayon]

sliding under the radar feeling my invisiblity

he wants the other side of the triangle and he wants all of the triangle

but I have to be the other even though I was first...

maybe this explains why I am speeding down the Coastal Highway away from there?

[Larrissa]

i just honestly expressed something. though it was online and hes not a dumb person, he so knows ...

im going to go sit on the roof now

if im not tempted too much by en empty bed ... -_-

[Cuilanië]

My hair is wild. I'm hungry. I'm still cold.

I think I use this thread more as a journal than anything - and I think I'm not the only one.

The first hugs today go to zanna and cb - thinking good thoughts for you.

[Helquin]

No journaling here... I'm secret-agent man :ph34r:

ditto on the good thoughts to Zanna & BlueCrayon... and Florida people!

I think I'll be ready to immolate myself in the middle of Water Street by the time Election Day finally rolls around <_<

[siafu]

i too am shopping for a swimsuit

i hate the feeling of resentment in my heart. i feel bad and then guilty for having resentment.

i had tamales for supper

[frizball]

I finally got some sheets today. I really wanted the jersey ones so I had to settle for what they had, and that was white and some with butterfiles on them... which is really bizarre since i'm totally grossed out by butterflies.

I bet i will wake up one morning and take one look at the sheets and flip my shat with all the bugs on my bed. :ph34r:

We all got together and ended up watching the sunday night sex show for the 3rd night in a row. They talked about cock rings- sounded painful.

[frizball]

I have listened to enough Billy Joel for one night.

My back hurts from sittin on the floor b/c my desk broke <_<

GOOD NIGHT!

[gwensmom]

Zanna, I made it through 4 years of college in a pretty big city without a car. It can be done. But still, :hug:

Staying home from work today because my throat hurts and I am tired of dragging myself around while sick and exhausted.

This morning I noticed that someone has put a huge dent in the front of my car! :angry: It probably happened in the parking lot at work on Wednesday.

I am going to try a new recipe called "Two cheese squash casserole" this weekend. It sounds soooooooo good.

Last night I made cookie dough, spooned it onto the trays and froze it. Now I have cookie dough blobs to bake whenever I want.

I had to put a sweater on Gwen this morning. In Memphis in August! I wish I weren't sick because it is perfect weather to work in the yard.

I cried last night because I was afraid the hurricane was going to get my sister. I called her and she said it was going to be ok. But on those maps, it looks like the storm is heading right to her! :unsure:

[Helquin]

I'm also feeling uncharacteristically unwell today

I think my body is telling me I need massive amounts of sleep

Bodies are pretty cool but they need so darned much maintenance...

[Obsidian_Cat]

This thread needs massive hugs, antibiotics, some chicken soup and some comfy blankets and pillows.

It's Friday the 13th, and I'm having the bad luck of a REALLY bad hair day! :P

Not only do our staff scares off my interns, and now our board members think they can schedule and run community events without my involvement. :angry:

[Larrissa]

alive

well

work is pending

[siafu]

someone needs a talkin to. you want me to do it, obsidian? i can't get fired.

i'm out of potatoes.

i'm hatching a potato plot.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Go get 'em, Siafu!

Is that a potato plot, as in the Irish thing? Or a plot in the back garden? Or an evilly feindish plot?

Yay, Larrissa survived closing! And she's going back for more....

:lol:

[Larrissa]

:P stupid work

i was thinking last night just how cool it is that we all share this thread and our lives.

its quite awesome and i cant go a day without it

[bluecrayon]

road trip to LA today -- Getty Museum and friends and food and color and crazy rhythms to get lost in for awhile...

I feel the need to never go "home"

I heard someone saying that dirt got in their third eye and I knew I was on a strange wonderful trip...

[Larrissa]

its on!

and its freaking me out

:blink: so weird this is

[tanagee]

my poptarts are done but still sitting in the toaster

I think Megan has an artistic future ahead of her, she's not even 2 1/2 yet.
This is her Octopus and Birdie, and you can actually kinda tell that's what they are :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/tanagee/octopus.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v117/tanagee/bird.jpg
She started to erase the octopus

I felt really creative last night so I gathered up all my stuff, sat down at the table and...poof! Nothing!

[tanagee]

:wave: again to cb who will be 24 miles, 1 freeway and 31 minutes away from me. ;)

PopTarts gone with the help of Meggie the Moocher.

MUST. GET. DRESSED. GO. RUN. ERRANDS.

[sarahkate]

~ I feel like I haven't posted in 3RF in a long time, when in reality it's probably only been a couple of days.

~ This Friday the 13th is sucking hardcore. Much like Obsidian_Cat, I'm having a bad hair day as well. I also locked myself out of the house this morning in the pouring rain (which contributed to my bad hair day), luckily I found a spare key though. I have had mounds of crazy work to do, my stapler ran out of staples, and while I was adding new staples I smashed my finger in said stapler. Oy! And there is more but I won't get into it all.

~ Aww! Megan is a great artist! :D

No doubt it's like the nefarious gunpowder plot of Guy Fawkes. Only she's using potatoes. Like those little spud guns from the novelty companies that advertise in the back of comic books, y'know?

I have lots of outside-of-work work to get started on.

I need a workout.

[Cuilanië]

Ah, Friday the 13th. That might explain the dry eyes, the queasy stomach this morning after I had my coffee, and the fact that my body shut down and made me sleep all afternoon...

I'm having roasted garlic for dinner, and it's starting to scent up the apartment... :)

I think I'll add to my list of 'unwise beverages for today' and have some wine with the garlic and bread...

[Cuilanië]

Otoh, my hair is actually sort of behaving today.

I picked up my plane ticket at the post office today. I wasn't expecting it until early October... :blink:

I'm looking at cornbread recipes. :)

[frizball]

I'm listening to this great Salsa from around the World cd...it makes me want to get up and DANCE! :thewave:

I found a new way to sit so my back doesnt hurt when i'm on the laptop: lay on my back. It works


I am being sloth. I need to take a shower so everyone doesnt come home from work/school and see me in my pajamas :ph34r:

[Serenity]

Got my second altered book back today.

I'm absolutely in :wub: with it!!!

Leaving for St. John's earlier then I expected (Sept. 3) and the sooner the better

[Cuilanië]

I put the garlic back in the oven for an extra 20 minutes.

My roommate just acquired a serious storage problem.

Cooking for one is just no fun.

[frizball]

I'm going to see Garden State tonight.

My friend wants to leave an hour early.

I'm the type of person to get there right as it starts... I can't do the early thing.


Whats a girl to do? :huh:

[gwensmom]

That damn hurricane is going to land farther south than anticipated.

This means it is closer to my sister.

I'm nervously watching the weather channel and stuffing my face with chips and salsa.

[Skilyne]

Like Larrissa said, I also can't imagine going long without this thread. I use it as a journal of sorts and I enjoy sharing in everyone else's lives as well.

I am missing him, and wanted to get together with him tonight...but sadly, that is not possible to happen. Well, it probably COULD be done, but due to a variety of reasons and circumstances, I suspect that it won't. Oh...it's a long story!

I can already tell my evening and night are going to be full of thoughts of him. *sigh*

Amen to that!!! I love cooking for other people, but when it's just me its a bowl of cereal or something easy... and therefore generally not so healthy!

Frizball - have your friend pick you up, and then stall...

I think I'm going to apply for a part-time job tonite. :(

Hugs to Gwensmom and her sister!!! And everyone else in the path of the hurricane...

I mailed out 5 pieces of mail today...YIPPEE! If I get my butt in gear, there will be more going out tommorow.

Ready for a BIG SURPRISE????!!! I miss him... LOL...sorry...had to stick it in there. :P

[frizball]

lol good idea obsidian_cat

I might tell them to save me a seat and show up at showtime ;)

Is 9 dollars for a movie ticket rediculous? b/c i think it is!

[Cuilanië]

It's George Michael's latest tonight. sigh.

I'm enjoying the last of the bottle of wine. Good, intense, dark, almost port-y in flavour... mmm.

I'll have to locate another bottle of this vintage... :)
