Three random facts:

[Helquin]

I think I'm listening to too much news lately.

Sometimes crying just 2 times a day isn't nearly enough. :mellow:

I'm not tired of yourself, Blue. Send it to me in a collage. ;)

[stargal1998]

1. I think I need to qualify my last statement about crying.

2. I mean I don't think I should cry a lot, because then I feel helpless. Other people should cry a lot (See "Free to Be, You and Me" where the big burly football player sings "It's all right to cry.") because they aren't as screwed up as me :wacko: .

3. My nose gets red, and then I look like a puffy-eyed freak.

[gwensmom]

I am so tired that my brain feels numb.

Tomorrow I am going to a street fair to look for a vendor I met on craftster.org.

Gwensdad returned his new mitre saw to the store. He found out that his dad just bought the exact same saw!

I am waiting for several travelling lmao's and I hope they do not all come at once!

Reed must be in Paris now because neither of them are posting.

1. It is raining horribly in nowheresville, Ohio.
2. It usually floods when this happens.
3. Of course, this is nothing compared to Florida and the other southern parts of the country.

[gwensmom]

Oooooh Nicole- sandbag your basement!

Where is everyone?? I have no life and need to hear all the details of everyone else's!

I wish I could go visit Robyn.

[sarahkate]

~ I'm feeling all sneaky...and damn happy about it.

I have a Sept birthday, I always assumed I was a Christmas Present (or a New Years Eve celebration!)

[sarahkate]

~ I wish I could go visit Robyn too. I hope Harrison is doing well.

~ Aww I wish I could do something to cheer up stargal. I don't like when things make my personality twin sad. :(

~ I worked on an LMAO last night. Felt good to be creative. I have been neglecting my Nervousness and creative things too much lately.

[cindi1023]

1. I think the last time I posted in 3 random facts, there were only 500-ish pages...

2. I've missed all my fellow 3-random-fact buddies too much... I won't stay away again! (but I may *never* catch up on the 700-ish pages I missed!)

3. I think I'll add more than 3 facts to make up for my absense somewhat.... or maybe I'll just serial post.... :ph34r:

[gwensmom]

Go for it cindi!!!! We miss those daily updates about your wonderful co-workers.

wow ebandit, you are even older than I am!

And your altered photographs are fabulous.

[cindi1023]

4. Luckily the only damage we've had from all the hurricane wind and rain is a block of shingles that blew off my roof.

5. I forgot to put earrings on this morning, and now I feel naked.

6. I'm afraid that all these hurricaines are going to force our cruise line to cancel our trip next month..... :(

Hi, Gwensmom! I was just staring at an empty pack of M&Ms and thinking about making you a postcard! :P


7. I'm afraid of spies :ph34r: so there will be no more posts about my coworkers... sorry!

8. Maybe one more -- they still suck. But I'm trying to be careful to cover my ass as much as possible....

9. I'm helping my younger sister plan her wedding, while she hasn't been offically proposed to yet. :huh: She's created a monster, though. Within 4 hours of asking me to be a bridesmaid (or, I can hardly bear to say it -- MATRON! bleck! :wacko: ), I had a list a mile long of wedding related decisions to be made. I'm going to be a mess come April....

[sarahkate]

~ Yay! Cindi is back! :D Funny that you happened to post today because the Nervousness LMAO I was working on that I posted about earlier this morning was your mosaic coloring book LMAO! The book looks beautiful by the way. Everyone has done an awesome job. :)

~ I need to drink more fluids. It's amazing I don't get sick very often since I am probably dehydrated the majority of the time. It's Noon time here, I have been out of bed since a little before 8:00 AM, yet I haven't had a single drop of water or any liquid, to drink so far. Bad Sarah!

~ I just found out one of my coworkers broke her wrist. This means she will be out of work for quite a while (since all we do is type), which means I will have a lot more work to do and I will be the one expected to stay late all of the time. Grrr.

[cindi1023]

10. I was recently diagnosed with sleep aphena (forgive my piss-poor spelling), and now I have to sleep with a breathing machine. It scares the bejezzus out of the cats.

11. Hubs is at home recovering from a pulled absess (again with the spelling...) tooth. Hopefully the Vicadin is helping :wacko:

12. I'm finding it increasingling difficult to come up with random facts. I must be out of practice.

[Larrissa]

i dont understand it

but when i go to my brain and ask for three lines

she gives me only silence

[Larrissa]

why why oh why?!

i dont know

i felt like sharing

[gwensmom]

Jodi just posted that robyn and Harrison are going home today! woo hoo!

I was not supposed to buy any more sweaters at the thrift store but I got two more today.

I need to sell off some stuff on ebay to make room for all the new yarn I will get from these sweaters!

[Lilac]

I am a supreme grump today and barked unnecessarily at one of the drafters.

Now I feel bad and am thinking about going out to apologize to her.

But right now I'm just feeling too foolish to do it.

[kamoke]

you really have a twin? thats cool

I'm so sick.. it's so awesome

I need to eat, and enjoy the sun, which won't happen

[Lilac]

300648



Yep, I have a twin, but were fraternal (not identical). We look similar, as regular sibling do, but I'm 2 inches taller than her and have darker hair.


Why are you sick? What's wrong? I know this isnt a fact, but I'm concerned...it's that maternal thing, ya know. :lol:

No sun will be shining around here for the next couple days, either. I'm thinking about postponing my trip to Put-in-Bay.

[Lilac]

Kevin just called and says the weather forcast for Put-in-Bay is gorgeous, so the trip is still on.

Gwensmom knows one reason I don't want to go. ;)

Otherwise, I guess I'll be happy to go and get away from all the rain here.

[Lilac]

Well, nobody else is playing! I'm the only one here! I'm just going to continue posting random facts because I'm still embarrassed to go out and face Jean...and I can't really get anymore work done until I get those blueprints from her.

Okay, so...um...what random facts do i have to share?

Oh yeah - I have this strange "clicking' noise in my right ear. I'm half paranoid that a bug crawled in there last night while I was sleeping. :lol: :lol:

[Lilac]

And here's another good, juicy random fact:

I ran into one of my old college professors the other day...the one I had a little "fling" with while I was his student! :ph34r: :blush: :lol:

He's still hot.

[Lilac]

Oh well...I must go get those blueprints...so here I go.

Apology in my head...

foot in my mouth :(

[Skilyne]

I dislike making my bed, and so I have taken to folding my blankets up over the foot of the bed...doing the whole operation in reverse. My Mom asked why I hadn't been making my bed, and I told her I HAVE been...I've just been doing it dyslexically. She was not amused.

My bed is made correctly today.

I had a great day at work!

[kamoke]

theres a flu going around, even alex had it ;)

15 minutes until I'm outta here

the scary stalker girl called and her and her other stalker friend wanted to do something, but thnkfully i had to work. But i fear they will be waiting outside. I will think up a plan while working. And they wanted to know if I was going to flyers(club..) tomorrow and again, thankfully, I have no money

[kamoke]

I'm so hungry.. but the paenut butter sandwiches aren't helping any

i got a postcard from cheekilyyours today and it was awesome! t'anks missis!! :naughty:

I hope it's jeans day

[Larrissa]

wisdom tooth = OW!

1:18pm local time

must stop making mail that isnt for projects and DO THE PROJECTS, i mean really.

YES!!! I have trouble getting to sleep, and then I'm awake every two hours.

They say that this is your body preparing to get up and feed the baby at night.

Someone is kicking me in the cervix and it hurts.

I never heard that was the reason for the late pregnancey insomnia, but it makes sense.

Not much longer, eh, Curlita? I'm so excited! I'd love to be pregnant and have another child, but that is just not going to happen (anytime soon) so I live vicariously through other's pregnancies...including yours! :D Hope ya don't mind!

A good friend of mine just found out yesterday that she's expecting, and while I'm truly thrilled to death for her, I'm jealous at the same time.

[Curlita]

I am working at home today. I like that.

Except my cat keeps wanting to help me. I finally went and got out the baby sling, planning to put her in it so that we could snuggle hands-free, but then she disappeared.

J and I went out on a date last night, to the pub where we had our first date, and talked about when we first met. It was really nice. :wub:

[Lilac]

Hello Miss Ouchie Tooth!

There will be no biting into any Subway sandwiches today!

Just gruel, nothing bt gruel for you.






*Does anyone know exactly what gruel contains, by the way? :lol:

[Larrissa]

<_< damned gruel. always with the gruel. your poor son.

hello to you too. i hope you like to eat bugs.

:ph34r: ninjas will rule the world!

[Lilac]

Mmmm...bugs. Chomping on some right now!

mealworm/cicada/cockroach Chex Mix.

Eatin' good in the neighborhood.

[Larrissa]

you thought i was kidding

i need to eat soon

i feel fine, but the goosebumpsdizzinessbleeding nose say differently

[Lilac]

Oh...you're not kidding, eh?

I wonder what that means??

If I receive any food items from Larrissa, I'm going to check them EXTREMELY well! :lol:

[Lilac]

Hola to you little sis, Tana!

Still fuming about not being invited to your wedding! :angry: :lol:

Or for that matter - the delivery of my niece!

[Lilac]

I'm the welcoming committee today...

Welcome Blue! Always good to see you!

Hello Sarahkate, you old lady, you! :lol:

[Larrissa]

maybe my mom was right

maybe i cant keep my mouth shut about things

all i want to do is telltelltelltell, im not gonna though

[bluecrayon]

hmm... I guess I'm too blue and too tall to discreetly lurk around! :D

but I'm in a lousy mood and feel close to all kinds of edges and am not good company right now...

but I always like sliding in here to see how the rest of us are faring.

I am older than Gwensmom...gee thanks LOL
I am wondering what altered photos Gwensmom is talking about.
I don't mind being OLD as long as I look and feel good.

[Larrissa]

sooooo excited. muzakmusakmuzikmusic!

velma thank you for the naked whoopie cushion mailing :D

and the tracklisting file for this super mix wont open! i cant just remember the name and artsit of an entire cd of songs .... damn.

[Larrissa]

looked at the source code out of curiousity, oh my :blink:

betternotgetsickbetternotgetsickbetternotgetsick

holy mother, its four o clock already

[Skilyne]

All day today, I kept feeling more and more achy and tired. But it was a good day, and I tried to ignore it...sadly, that was to no avail.

I'm sick.

Achy, fever, weird feeling in my head...a heaviness, and just crummy in the stomach. BLECH.

[Skilyne]

My Mom went to go buy me some crackers and tea. :)

I want to know why this came on all of a sudden today.

I don't even want to move...it hurts to even move.

So I won't.

[Skilyne]

Hi Theresa! I see you down there...:)

I'm laying in a very awkward position in order to type this out.

I got new pajamas for my birthday.

[siafu]

ohhh erica

a hug for you

i'm just tired from yoga

[Skilyne]

Despite being sick, I am still in a pretty good mood.

I'm wearing his shirt.

I'm curled up underneath the quilt my Mom made for me.

[Helquin]

It's contagious! Co-host Katherine Lanpher said "kerfuffle" on Air America's Al Franken Show today! :lol:

Don't tell anyone: I fibbed on a voter poll :ph34r:

Rain rain rain. What a dreary day here. :mellow:

[Helquin]

I was shut out of the Forums this afternoon: couldn't log in. <_<

Didn't that happen to anyone else? :huh:

And the Clickable Smilies have been rearranged... :ph34r:

Anyhoo -- Larrissa, I answered your PM with a Q&A. :lol:

[bluecrayon]

I got locked out of the forums today, too!

I went home and took a nap.

I feel better now and am smiling at everyone here. :)

I do the same thing. It also applies to laughing, sneezing, coughing, hiccupping, etc. Thus, my face is usually red.

[Helquin]

My whole day is feeling kinda nap-like. :mellow:

I do too feel the texture of my convictions! :lol:

Oh jeez -- the buttons just changed color :ph34r:

[gwensmom]

I have three lmao ideas but I'm not posting them in the incubator thread. Ya'll will just have to die of curiosity until they get started.

I'm glad to hear that Blue is not so blue as she was earlier.

I couldn't get in the forums either and I hate it when that happens. I don't like to be cut off from you all.

My uncle is sicker than ever. He has infections and is on some industrial strength antibiotics. The Dr. said that in 24 hours he will either be much better or much worse. I don't know how much more my poor aunt can take.

[Larrissa]

i have found a couple crunchy spots on these pajama bottoms. gloss medium sloppiness.

SICK, it happened all quick like.

lots of water and lots of fresh garlic usually works

[Larrissa]

the way the forums keep changing the way they look .... ack! :blink:

workworkworkbetternotsuck

i wonder if hes been in yet ...

[Larrissa]

okay, "where are you moving?"
"fort walton beach"
"oh. my. god."

and then she walks away ignoring my further half ass yelled questions.

whatever mother.

[Larrissa]

i am delaying the dressing as the sandwich ho

hathair seems like it could kill a person

im just waiting happily. waiting waiting. until the inevitable PMS thing comes up. im sure that will change the waiting happily to a bit of anxiety, oh yes.

[Larrissa]

cereal posting!

drink some water

grrrrrrrr ...

[bluecrayon]

remember to keep breathing

water the garden when i get home

tie my shoelaces tighter as i have a tendency to trip over my own intensity!

[Helquin]

oh. my. god.

:lol:

Larrissa -- what do you have left to write in your livejournal?! :P

Tickle Me Castro. heheh. :D

[Helquin]

I thought I knew where Fort Walton Beach is but I was thinking of Port Saint Lucie.

So much for me and geography.

Actually, I've heard good things about the Pensacola area.

But don't get me started about Florida! :lol: I'm sure it's a very nice place!

[kamoke]

work sucked, i smiled at no one

I feel like a bag of shit

food and television will fill the void ;)

[gwensmom]

I finally made a livejournal and I need some friends! Add me and tell me who you all are on lj. I used the name gwensmom again.

This will force me to learn some more html.

I used a boxbot as my icon.

[Skilyne]

I also have a livejournal...which I write in when I remember to...:P My name on there is also Skilyne. You all can add me if you'd like.

I'm still feeling crummy and sick. At least it is the weekend now, and I won't miss any work.

I don't care for Martha Stewart...and I never have.

[siafu]

helquin, i know the seamy underbelly of pensacola...pensacola christian college

i bought a martha stewart butter dish tonight. it is just clear glass.

yesterday, i went to the goodwill outlet, where clothes are $1.39 a pound.

[kamoke]

ugh, I hate the weekends..

I can't see how people could possibly work at a job they hate for their entire life...geesh

I got a castle in brooklyn thats where I dwell

[kamoke]

I don't actually, by the way..

ahhh! work in 15 minutes!

I'm outta here! River, here I come!

[Larrissa]

i can always dredge up more for the journal :D

no one to cover for me today, i have a two hour shift in 2.5 hours

sooooooooo sick, its been years for this bad of ill

oh and the only placed we shopped for clothes when i was younger was goodwill. we were poor. it used to embarrass me terribly but now i love thrift stores. heh.

[Larrissa]

i wish i wouldnt post in the wrong journal damn it

purring cat across my foot

working until midnight when youre SICK blows so bad

i have a theme today, cant you tell?

[Larrissa]

hehehe it must be strange

i cant believe i have to work like this

somehow i made it through last night and a few minutes after getting home my body ceased health and my ass was kicked

why why why is the world set up this way? why must we WORK to live?

[gwensmom]

:yay: Fall weather is here! When I went outside to get the paper this morning it was CHILLY!

Now it is sunny and wonderful. I was planning to go to a street festival but I am not feeling good and have to go take a damn nap.

*snicker* I wonder how Lilac's romantic weekend getaway is going??

[Helquin]

Whaddaya know: as it turns out, I do need frequent reality checks. :P

My mom might have West Nile virus. She's been sick since returning from CA 2 weeks ago & the doc says her symptoms fit. Basically she's just got to tough it out: treatments are for symptoms only, not the underlying cause. <_<

It feels like Fall here, too, GwensMom! I had to fire up the boiler this morning! :lol:

[Larrissa]

ummm, ive been thinking about the hurricanes

and how strange it is that humans think we own the world

and then all these people have to run away from nature so as not to die

[Helquin]

I think if we thought we owned the world we would treat it better.

Most Americans behave more like renters or party guests: punching holes in the walls and burning the carpet.

I watch my butch neighbor give such delicate, loving attention to cleaning each bolt & ridge on his customized pickup truck... It's really poetic. :mellow:

okay that last line wouldnt be funny but that :mellow: guy is a hoot

LiveJournals scare me -- where would the life part end and the journal part begin and would they become all tangled so one didn't know anymore what was the division between the two or would the two just become a one.... and how does it feel to have strangers gliding through one's dichotomies????

I'm guessing this little patch of nness is my livejournal

Bought Sculpty clay today -- this will be my first foray into this medium since grade school. If any experts are out there, feel free to PM me with any tips or words of wisdom... :P

I witnessed a very unique fashion statement this morning -- a guy wearing camouflage pants and jacket, a huge black cowboy hat, boots, and a loud multi-colored hawaiian shirt. I guess the rational was that we couldn't see his legs because of the pants, so he could wear any shirt.

I don't have anything poetic or contemplative to add.

[chunkymonkey]

Hey there, hi and hello.

I'm sticking to anonymous.... addicted... can't help it. Don't want anyone to know how much time I actually spend here anymore.

:rock: :naughty: :ph34r: ;)

[Curlita]

I have a headache. I've been getting them more and more lately.

They make me worry, even though I got my BP taken yesterday and it was fine.

Maybe I need chocolate.

[cindi1023]

Headache or no, I know I need chocolate.

I ought to be making beautiful creations with my sculpey clay right now instead of playing around in the forums, but I'm feeling remarkably uninspired right now.

I wish they made a pill to cure procrastination.

[tanagee]

Dropped off a bunch of Junk at the thrift store today...I felt like I was losing a part of me.

Then I snapped out of it when I realized that if the junk had been piled in the back of Megan's room for months without me even remembering what was in there.

I also went to my Grammy's to hang out for a little bit, came home with a bunch of her newspapers to go in the recycle bin and a bag full of old greeting cards to be recycled in to artsy stuff.

[Larrissa]

about to ask

[Larrissa]

wow that was straightforward. felt good.

i wish i would already

its really only two though

[oreogrl1]

Damn it... how am I supposed to read all of these posts?
20 pages to go... I can't do it... can someone just give me a summary?
I have an Oliver football player to comfort... :)

[Skilyne]

The forums are all screwy here...I'm listed as having been the last to post...at 10:05pm today!!! It is only 9:33pm here...and I haven't posted all day.

This is very odd.

I'm still sick. At least it is the weekend...and I can be as lazy as I want to be.

[gwensmom]

Oh Siafu, your car! :o

I have been in a lot of pain all week. My chiropractor had to do stuff to my shoulder and both of my feet. For 21 years he has never adusted anything but my back and neck! Everything feels better but my shoulder still hurts.

All of this and some other problems with my feet and knees are because Gwen has gotten so heavy. Maybe the state will come through with some assistance when I have to go to a nursing home or something. I'm calling them Monday.

I FINALLY finished this huge scarf I have been making for several months. When I finish two more hats I will put it all up for auction to benefit nervousness.

[Skilyne]

I have been sleeping well at night...getting about 7 hours of sleep...and yet I get SO TIRED I can hardly handle it...my eyes burn out of my head and I just can't function. That can't be good. And it has been getting worse these last few days.

Plus, my body just aches. I want to curl up and sleep for days.

Ok...I am done complaining. And really...all in all...I am in a good mood. So I will focus on that end. :)

[Larrissa]

i cant believe i have nothing to post.

so im posting this.

deal *cough hack* OW.

[Skilyne]

I'm eating crackers and drinking tea.

My Mom bought me some lovely flannel pants for my birthday with little sock monkeys on them.

They are so comfy...I've got them on right now.

[gwensmom]

Sock monkey flannel pants!!! Where did she get those??

My sister told me she always wanted a sock monkey so I suppose I had better make her one for Christmas.

My sister called me today to tell me that she had been to the Joanne's in Ft. Myers. She went on and on about how great it was and all she bought was a spool of thread!

We are out of ice cream :'(

I think I will go to bed. I'm optimistic that I will feel much better tomorrow.

[Skilyne]

I just went and wrote in my Livejournal.

I really ought to update that more often.

I end up using this thread as my journal.

[Skilyne]

I'm not sure where she got the sock monkey flannel pants, but I'll ask her tommorow morning.

Once I get new batteries for my camera, I'll post a picture of them at well.

I'm getting so tired again.

[kamoke]

prrr..

scarface, 49

I feel good. Very good

[siafu]

the neighbor saw the car

heidi retrieved it

the electric wheelchair scooter was still inside

[kamoke]

so, Um, what happened?

so yeah, the H thing.
Some woman called and was like, " do you have any hair purifiers?"
I'm like, "what? Hair purifier?"
"Hair, A-I-R.."
I laughed

OK... that's what I get for posting before I read the whole thread :lol:

Glad things worked out OK, Siafu

I don't like my new signature line... but I can't think of anything else right now...

[kamoke]

list of things to fuck:
trish's wedding,
painting,
school,
walmart,
sewing,
music,
time,
money,
traveling,
the internet,
people.

[Helquin]

That list doesn't sound like as much fun as the title suggested... :huh:

I keep thinking it's Sunday night (Monday morning, whatever)

When do we "fall back"?

[Larrissa]

i cant sleep

im terribly ill

i dont like green currently :ill:

[Skilyne]

Feel better Larrissa!!!

Glad you got your car back Theresa...I would have been freaking out!

Helquin, I THINK we fall back in October...maybe around the 30th or 31st. Don't quote me on that though...

[gwensmom]

:yay: for finding siafu's car!

We are going on a tour of 3 contemporary homes today. I don't feel like it, but it is Gwensdad's birthday present. I'm sure I will have a good time once we get there.

My shoulder is a little better today, but I couldn't get to sleep last night and I am so tired. I can never get rested no matter how hard I try.

[Skilyne]

I think I'm going to take a nap.

I went to the store and bought myself a new pair of jeans today.

I hate shopping for pants, because they never seem to fit me nicely...I had to try on about 12 pairs until I had success. :P

[Skilyne]

Here are my sock monkey pajama pants:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/Skilyne/896f6d36.jpg

I don't want to go to work tommorow.

But I DO want to see the guys I work with.

[Larrissa]

thanks skilyne :)

i cant decide if im gonna call in sick yet

golly golly if there are as many people as i would think working jobs they hate, why isnt the suicide rate higher? im serious :huh:

[cindi1023]

I think I've lost some weight -- my toe ring is getting loose. :P

That would be just my luck -- as overweight as I am and losing weight in my toes, for God's sake!

Still feeling uninspired.

[Larrissa]

no calling in sick for me

have to find replacement

unavailable

[gwensmom]

The day is in shambles. No comtemporary house tour. Everyone mad. Gwensdad's birthday sucks "just like all my birthdays".

The thing is I understand what he means. When your life if not going like you want it to, having a birthday kid of rubs it in.

I made brownies. Chocolate usually helps.

[Helquin]

OK, I found out: Daylight Savings Time ends on Halloween (31 October). Oh man: this election is getting close (2 November)!

Sorry to hear that Larrissa is sick & GwensDad is having a poopy b-day.

Mating pigeons are casting a shadow-show on the wall outside my window. They seem to have quite a complicated courtship ritual for creatures with brains the size of peanuts.

[Skilyne]

Helquin's last fact made me laugh to imagine it.

I hope that Gwensdad's birthday gets better!

Last time that I went to the zoo, I saw the lions mating...and that was quite a spectacle!!!

[Helquin]

OK: scarred for life by that mental image of lions. :lol:

The pigeons were just doing all that song-&-dance flirtation.

Look how big my chest puffs up!

<span style='color:deeppink'>That's nothing: watch how fast I can bob my head!

Haha!  I'm gonna hop now.

(Giggle)  Woohoo!</span>

I'm thinking of starting a controversial new thread.... <_<

[Larrissa]

DO IT

weirdness

santiago

[Helquin]

I spent some time this weekend reading right-wing websites -- trying to achieve a genuine understanding of the "opposition" (and my mother's absurd support of a candidate whose policies she doesn't support).

I'm more than a little disturbed by some of what I've seen... No matter who wins this election, there's a scarey, regressive, anti-intellectual -- and ruthlessly activist -- "religious" element in American culture that's gonna be here long past November.

This would be a good spot for a light-hearted chuckle about Life In General. :mellow:

Tuck me in & kiss my forehead, George.

[Skilyne]

I'm laughing so hard right now...thanks Helquin! :P Go for that controversial new thread...

I think I'm going to color my hair or get it cut again...or something.

I don't know...my hair annoys me...never looks the way I wish it would.

[Larrissa]

i dont like religiousness. at all. it makes people act scary.

im gonna delete the rest of this to

t h i s

[Larrissa]

eh, im bored. gonna go make art.

i want lilac to come back!

J****Espo [5:43 AM]: at school someone told me about how a milk truck had flipped over..and i said "traffic must have been slow with all those people in the road crying" and he didnt get it

[Lilac]

I had a nice weekend...a bit chilly, but at least I had someone to keep me warm at night. ;)


I smell dog poop and I'm too tired to go look for it right now...which means I'll probably step in it later.


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

[Lilac]

The boards look strange tonight.

I don't like this.

I don't like change!

[Skilyne]

Hi Lilac! Welcome back!

I'm eating a white chocolate kit-kat. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not, but I do. Not that bad!

I drank so much water today...it is a wonder I haven't wet myself yet.

:ph34r: Hmmm Lilac...

I think I'm spending tommorow night with him...I'm planning on it at least...hopefully I am fully better by then.

I'm drinking more water.

[cryptaesia]

bah!

what the heck???


who said that?

i CAN see you!!!

[Skilyne]

I have an un-natural and overwhelming fear of snakes.

I don't know why.

But I have no interest in trying to overcome it...as then I'd have to get close to one. And that very thought makes me shudder.

[Skilyne]

My Mom sang me "Happy Birthday" in Tagalog on my birthday.

Maligayang bati!
sa inyong pagsilang
Maligaya, Maligayang
Maligayang bati!

The guys at work sang to me too...that was funny!!! They can't even stay together with the words...it was cute.

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad is not speaking to me. He will give one word answers when I say something but that's it.

My friend is going to get eggs extracted for IVF tomorrow. I am so excited for her and hope it works :crossed:

I have been working on unravelling thrift store sweaters today. Now I have tons of yarn!

[Larrissa]

actually i sincerely doubt the evil

i used thew handblender thing to make paper pulp, if you dont tell, no one will ever know

because i sit like a contortionist, sneezing is dangerous. i just hurt my nose against a knee.

[Larrissa]

AOl doesnt let me respond to comments through the email way

i had frozen custard for dinner

life is moving too quickly

[cindi1023]

I finally got pseudo-inspired and made bunches of art doll faces. 35 to be exact.

Ivan's winds left us with the most beautiful weekend. Not a cloud in the sky, brilliant blue skies in the daytime, and clearer nights than I ever remember seeing.

I wish there were a couple more days of this weekend.

[Larrissa]

its doing the font changing thing again

how can a person ever know if it was the right decision?

30 crows in a feild today

[kamoke]

I agree, it's hard to tell

where do they hide when it's scary out?

[gwensmom]

I got too pissed off to sleep so I am here. I will regret this tomorrow.

I just read the lj of some girl who is 16 and wants to marry this guy she met on the internet. *shudder*

My friend in Plano called today. when she visited here she saw some naked mail. After she left I sent it to her.

[gwensmom]

There are FOUR anonymous members lurking around here. Show yourselves you cowards!

I tried to pm Ben to tell him happy birthday but it said he was not authorized to use the pm system. Has he been a bad boy?

I e-mailed him instead and wrote the message in a combination of binary and hexadecimal.

[Lilac]

I can't sleep, eihter, Sarah.

Actually, I'm hungry and I'm debating scarfing down a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.

I wish I had something better in the house to eat...or a cook to prepare me something really good (like a big, thick cheeseburger)...but I don't...so it'll have to be peanut butter.

Oh, wait...maybe I'll have a bowl of Cheerios! YUM!

[Lilac]

Oh WOW!!!!!! Gwensmom, Nymphette and Curlita!!!!!!

:thewave:
:thewave:
:thewave:

[nymphette]

there are far too many posts for me to ever catch up on!!! and that's a fact!!!

i am glad to be home.. but have to be up early for bloodwork tomorrow morning... has to be done before he gets his tacro and that's at 9 am..........

sympathy and empathy for gwensmom regarding the whole hubby/one word answer thing.... it was easier being a 'single mom' while i was gone and ignoring the problems here.... :(

[Curlita]

CHeerios are my favorite midnight snack.

I almost completed my kitchen curtains today.

Now I'm grumpy because instead of being impressed, husband is worried about them interfering with the view. :(

[gwensmom]

Lilac did you run out of butterfingers and coors lite?

:wave: I see nymphette and curlita!

I am keeping the dog awake because his bed is in the office with the computers.

[nymphette]

<waves to lilac!>

yes, i would rather be here getting tired than in bed where i dont' feel wanted.....

and i'd like a peanut butter sandwich too... with cold dill pickles in it!!! (and that is NOT a pregnancy craving.... <_< ) yummy!!!

or a bowl of cereal... anything but cheerios... <shudder> if i didnt' hate them already, feeding them with apple juice on them instead of milk, to my neice when she was two would have done it!!! :ph34r:

[nymphette]

chocolate woul dbe good too....

mybe i'll have a chocolate milk then go to bed and feel sorry for myself.... ;) why not....

there's no chocolate bars here, so.... though i do hae some hershey's hugs..... but i dont' care for the hershey's chocolte..... :'(

[Helquin]

Lilac's food post sounds like what I go through every night. :lol:

I have some pretty good songs downloaded that I had completely forgotten :mellow:

So no one says "my, what a pretty new avatar" any more? Hmm? :P

I need a "raised-eyebrows" emoticon :lol:

[Lilac]

"my, what a pretty new avatar"

[Helquin]

:lol: You're lookin' pretty dapper in that 'stache again, too, I see!

[nymphette]

harrison's broviac was unclamped again... i dont' know what i am supposed to do when that happens!! i asked a dumbass nurse, but she didn't know.... so i better find out tomorrow, the amount he tears around, it comes undone every couple of days!!!! :o

i really wanted chris to take a few days off when we got home... now i dont'....

when's curlita due??? not that that's a fact, but the fact that it ISN'T a fact IS a fact....

[gwensmom]

OMG HELQUIN!! What a pretty new avatar!

Curlita is due in 2 weeks or so. Whimsey is due in April.

When is nymphette due?

[Lilac]

Alrighty...I need to get my butt to bed. Poo. I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Although I'm meeting Kevin for lunch, so that will be nice.

Kevin is nice. ;) :D

[nymphette]

we're due on the 10th of january, according to the last ultrasound....

so i'm saying the 9th, harrison's birthday... because it's close enough and is right according to my dates...


i wonder how my mother raised 3 kids alone.... i dont' know if i can do it, but the alternative, lately, seems more daunting than being a single mom..... :angry:

[Larrissa]

guys, it hurts to laugh, okay dokee? quit it. :mellow:

i slept well but then woke up

i wish i would sleep past five oclock tomorrow, this cant continue.

[Larrissa]

:ph34r: its my fault again

and that avatar just makes me think of that postcard which i like mucho better

there are strange sounds happening in the garage but im way too lazy to go look.

[velma]

lilac looks like christina ricci in the new avatar

it's freakin' below 50 degrees here this morning!! ARRRGGGGHHH!!!

i need my coffee :coffee

[kamoke]

I tried to walk to the doctor, but one of those hurricans is here

I'm not going to school today either

October 8th

[cindi1023]

Our server is being worked on here in the office, so I can't do any *real* work because they keep rebooting it. Hopefully my post will go through between reboots.

I came in to the office this morning to find the thermostat in my area had been turned down to 65 degrees F. WTF??? :blink: Now my fingers keep cramping up because of the cold...

I hate mondays.

[cindi1023]

all this baby talk.... I hope it's not contagious! :rolleyes:

It's not that I think babies are ookie, just none for me, thank you. :P

The Boss just brough me some work to do... so off I go!

[gwensmom]

I hate Mondays too but this one is shaping up to be pretty good. The first phone call I got this morning was from a woman at a foundation that wants to make a grant to a program that I administer!

The person who told her about my program is someone I helped out of a jam last year. Good karma makes a full circle!

My shoulders are so tight and painful that I had to bring my rice bag to work. going to heat it up now....

[Curlita]

Yay, Sarah! Grant money is always exciting.

I have a long, busy day planned: yoga, lunch with a friend, then to work, then to a city council meeting. WHew.

After Saturday I get to work from home. WHOO-HOO!

[picasso]

drank a vanilla latte for breakfast.
along with eating a blueberry muffin.
at work, working on art stuff.

[Larrissa]

hurricanes in newfoundland. riiiiight. ^_^

work in a few :(

im so sick of this nancy chick calling ten times a day <_<

[tanagee]

I made pancakes from scratch (not a mix) for breakfast yesterday morning...

then I MOPPED MY KITCHEN FLOOR :o ! I pulled 'something' in my back doing it...

That'll teach me not to do that again ;)

[tanagee]

My hubby finally fixed my POS car and it makes me sad because I was REALLY liking driving my grammy's Explorer.

This is kinda sad to say but; my self-esteem was SO much higher. (Sad because it is disapointing that my feeling of self worth is dependant on a car.)

I am not gonna give it back yet though. Don't worry she has not driven since her mild stroke 3 years ago, and since my Grandpas death 1 year ago the only person who has driven it is my stoner cousin, so she is not in any hurry to get it back.

[tanagee]

Serial posting alert...

My hubby has a new scheme...to sell the truck we JUST bought and put a new engine, transmission and complete interior in and buy a MOTORHOME. :rolleyes:

While I don't mind, since it will make racing weekends more comfortable (which will be it's primary duty) and maybe we can go away for little camping trips,

I just think he's HIGH to think that anyone will pay what he wants for it...no one wants our grey truck for what he wants for that and it is less $$.

I'm irked. I met with my insurance agent last week to re-evaluate my coverage and today I got the bill for my new policy. Turns out that for the last 4 years I've been paying $159 a year for coverage I didn't need in the first place. <_<

I will not spend the rest of today making lists of what I could have done with $634.64 over the past 4 years.

The sky was so big last night. Full of stars.

[bluecrayon]

I was suprized to arrive here just now and see that I was already here!

I guess I forgot to log out yesterday.

Just adding to the impression that I really do live inside these boxes! :D

[bluecrayon]

which I don't, of course.

but if I did, I would choose a box between Larrissa and Helquin...

I would love to live in a zone of wit and words...

[Lilac]

Oh, Kevin is sooo sweet!

He showed up at the office with a packed picknick basket, yes, a real basket with turkey sandwiches, cheese and Peanut M&M's. We walked down to Point Park ate by the fountain.

I'm definately being "woo'ed"...and I feel like a princess right now. :D

[kittymao]

blarg. stuff sucks.

Lately the waitress job has been kinda sucky. We're training some new ones right now. They're far enough along to work by themselves, but not far enough to work a shift wholly alone. So there have been the regular two waitresses, and then the trainee third. On a good saturday night I can come home with $70.

but last saturday I came home with $19. Tell me that doesn't suck huge ass.

[Lilac]

Hi Christine!

I see you hiding down there!

You should pop in more often!

[nymphette]

i need time!!! i really want to join an LMAO but i am not sure i'd be able to make a worthy contribution in time!!!

just cried for twenty minutes reading about little othello.... :'( i knew i shouldn't visit his website this soon after harrison's transplant, becuse it really hit home... so many hugs and tears for othellosmom...

i think i am going to break down and take a tylenol!! i've ignored this headache for too long and it isn't getting better.... or maybe just a cup of coffee... which could be worse, tyelnol or caffeine??? hm...

[nymphette]

i see curlita and gwensmom!!!

anyone remember 'romper room'??? the kids show from way back..... er.... well, a long time ago??? i remember that they NEVER said they could see ROBYN through their magical mirror... i was always sad...... :rolleyes:

julian is starting some kind of kids bowling lessons thing... every saturday morning... and i don't have to take him.... <cheer> my momma is going to take him in to the city with my niece who i s bowling too.... every second saturdy, chris works and i will be all alone, just me and harrison.... :D

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad came home and spoke more than one word to me. He asked me if his dog had thrown up today. Woot!

We have been trying to sell an old van through this consignment place since April. They called today and said someone had made an offer pending their brother looking at the van. I hope it sells because we need to get a new refrigerator before the old one conks out.

I have to go back to the $%^&* dentist tomorrow. :unsure: But I DON'T have to go to work :)

*swoon* those pics of post-transplant Harrison are sooooooo cute! Robyn it's great to have you back. Now go get an ultrasound so we will know if you are having a girl or a boy!!!!

[Helquin]

Woohoo -- 3 presidential debates after all!

I probably shouldn't be so excited about that, huh? :P

Kerry gave a kick-ass speech at NYU today, but I doubt it will be heard much beyond Air America Radio. <_<

[Helquin]

I think the new dental hygienist used to work on a road crew or something. I thought she was gonna chip a tooth the way she was bangin' around in my mouth. :blink:

I am so motivated to resurrect my blog, but I don't really have the time to do it up right... <_<

[Larrissa]

if the camera was working, i would show you all this smart ass postcard from dunglas. its quite funny. includes a picture of the "photoshop asskicking posse" oh and he says "BRING IT ON!" i quote.

i went into work today. oh yeah. its a long story. you wont hear it because its long. rambling in the LJ its gotta happen at least once a day.

uh, i was like thirty feet from the front door on my way home, and saw that the mail had come and the mailbox was overflowing, and despite working too long in a havok filled day, procceeded to run over and see what was there. it was worth the run ^_^

[Larrissa]

excuse me that was "BRING IT ON!!!"

you know what? i :wub: you guys

still coughing but not sick

[siafu]

i saw napoleon dynamite

it was different than i expected

and i was satisfied with it

[Helquin]

I don't know what a napoleon dynamite is, but I will post if I see one.

Larrissa, you're such a rebel! :lol: That e-mail was a hoot.

Aargh: it's getting dark already!

[Larrissa]

:lol: sooo very incredibly silly we are

i wonder what people do without something like nervousness in their lives

maybe i would study bugs

[Larrissa]

this may be the first and only time i will use this ... watch closely ...

OMG!!

I think a lot of people watch a staggering amount of television. :mellow:

I was almost sucked into popular culture at the dentist's office today. That People magazine can be very seductive... like a line of coke with an opium chaser <_<

I'm still feeling an inordinate amount of interest in Oprah's new hairstyle. :huh:

[siafu]

what does oprah's new hairstyle look like?

i have an effing lot to do in twenty minutes

so i'm here posting. yeah. ok. bleh.

oh the very fact of so much tv watching makes me wanna curse. i wont though. because theresa had the respect to say effing. :D

good luck with all the work, im thinking happy thoughts for you

and drinking mountain dew

[Helquin]

Yahoo Mountain Dew! (http://www.mountaindewbottles.com/HISTORY.HTM) It'll tickel your innards! :lol:

oh, I said I was outta here, huh :huh:

"Kerfuffle" is not in my American Heritage Dictionary. <_<

[Larrissa]

I feel the same way, Tana. When I drive my crappy old Toyota, I feel like such a bum (it is excellent on gas mileage, though), but when I drive my new Montero, I feel like King of the Road!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/montero.jpg
here's my new baby, with the crappy Toyota in the backround, where it should be!:lol:

I went out for a little hike after work. I might post a few pics later...

The pump on the fishtank broke and a bunch of water (like probably 2 gallons) spilled out all over my carpet while I was at work. Now the living room stinks...I'm going to have to get out the carpet scrubber and hope that gets the fishy odor out of my carpet.

[Larrissa]

white vinegar will take out any smell

so will baking soda

just dont mix them

[Lilac]

Oh, thanks, Larrissa! I'll try that!!!

The fish tank incident was a real bummer. At least the fish is still alive.

Worst of all, my son had his Gameboy laying beside the tank, and I think it's ruined. I hate to have to shell out 100 bucks for a new one. Damn.

[Curlita]

MY BELLY ITCHES.

I am at work because I have to go to a City Council meeting at 7:30.

I spilled food on my shirt and will need to change before the meeting. <_<

[siafu]

i am not going anywhere

i am going to use my new george foreman grill

sucks.

[siafu]

not my grill. my grill doesn't suck

the way that my life is totally planned at least 24 hours in advance

does kind of suck

[bluecrayon]

and I'm thinking my life sucks because I have no plan that deals with any block of time longer than the next 5 minutes...

I have absolutely no clue as to where I am going to live in October, for example.

I'm just heading into there

(which I guess IS a plan)

[Larrissa]

i am coughing and laughing and it hurts and its all the fault of that damned picture of dunglas, ebandit and eraserqueen

my stepdad brought me a rock :D

Ah, yes, I remember saying this to my first boyfriend when he wanted to know why we couldn't be friends even though we'd broken up.

He just didn't understand why we couldn't. HE said he really valued my friendship.

I used to theorem to explain why his banging his ex-girlfriend while we were together sort of cancelled out friendship as an option.

:lol: Dunglas hardly ever comes in here, so you should be OK.

I'm surprised to see that ebandit is another N'ness male! Welcome, Gene!

But now I'm not the "old man" around here any more. ;)

[Lilac]

I can't sleep.

I can't get this stink out of my carpet and I'm obsessing over it.

White vinager didnt work! Now, the combination vinager/old fish water kind of makes my living room smell like cat piss...unless of course a cat actually did piss in there...which I wouldnt rule out.


Speaking of the cats...they're destroying my ficus tree as I type. :yell:

[Lilac]

Eh...I think I'll change back to blonde for awhile...

This is all your fault...yes - YOU

If you had been here playing chain games I wouldnt have been bored and forced to play around with my avatar!

[Helquin]

wassamatta you?! I've been here! :lol:

those multi-question threads are eating up my chain time!

I'm starting to fade but I don't want to go to bed...

[Helquin]

I didn't know the Bush twins did a Vogue spread :huh:

I can't wrap my mind around the weirdness of the contemporary American mythos. :mellow:

If you drew a connection between those first 2 facts, that's between you & your shrink. Don't drag me into this drama! :lol:

[Curlita]

I can't sleep either.

Although my carpet doesn't stink, at least.

Tired of itchy belly and constantly full feeling bladder, but still not excited about the idea of childbirthin' and labor pains.

[tanagee]

I was at the stage Erica is at when it hit me "oh My God I am REALLY having a baby." It was all just abstract before then.

I was very exited to be pregnant and to be a mom of a BABY, I just wasn't sure if I wanted say, a 10 year old. :D

I am to stressed about $$$ to sleep, and I don't thin my carpet smells either...maybe like the dog though.

[cindi1023]

working from home today -- yippee!

I guess "working" isn't really the right word. It's 9:30 AM right now, and I haven't done one ounce of work yet... Of course, I wouldn't have gotten anything productive accomplished in the office yet, either.

Except I'd be on my second cup of coffee.

[Larrissa]

i never said no love about any gene, did i?? :blink:

oh miss tamara im so sorry about your carpet :huh:

freaking ha my ass

(i just woke up ya know, excuse me)

[Larrissa]

okay okay if i ever hear a person in real life say the term "scrot-lick" i will die laughing

i think the headache is caused by caffiene withdrawl

must have breakfast and get ready to work. its raining alot alot alot.

[Larrissa]

LaRRissa is not old enough to remember those awful Yahoo Mountain Dew commercials.

Don't worrry Helquin, Gene's advanced age is not enough to get either of us kicked out of the nervous geriatric club.

I have made the dreaded trip to the dentist. Now I am trying to pry myself out of the house to go shopping for clothes. Not sure which is worse.

I see you lurking, anonymous member!

[cindi1023]

I had to take a break from work -- I'm currently working on "dumbing down" some of our form letters because we've had complaints that our letters are harsh and hard to understand. What are these people expecting? They were written by lawyers, for god's sake!

Have to go this afternoon to have an echocardiogram. I'm not optimistic that they're going to find anything wrong. I think my current buots of very loud heart-pounding are due to anxiety... but I guess it never hurts to check, especially considering I have no idea about family history of medical problems.

that reminds me.... gotta find out what I have to do to petition the court for my birth parent's medical records. Off to do legal research! That's work-related, isn't it? :P

[Curlita]

So I want to know why some of the names at the bottom of the screen appear in italics. What is that all about?

We have a fruit fly infestation at our house. They are driving me mad. Mad, I tell you!

Tana, I can envision having a 10-year-old easier than a baby, to be honest. Maybe we should work out some kind of child rotation program? :P

The people in italics are currently posting a reply to that thread.

Still not much work getting done...

I called the courthouse to find out what the filing fees would be for me to petition for my birth parent's medical information from my adoption records. The 4th person I was transferred to put me on hold for a while, then came back and told me to consult with an attorney. WTF? I work in a law office! I already know *how* to file, I just need to know how much it's going to cost me.

:yell:

I've received several of those as well. Was all of that garbage in white at the bottom of the bitmap, so when you went to copy the text to report it, that stupid junk is all that shows up? I think the scammers do that so you look like a moron when you try to report it.

I don't care -- I still report them.

It's no fun having your credit card info stolen on the internet. Especially when the person who steals it signs up for 20 different porn sites, and when you call the 800 numbers to cancel it for an unauthorized transaction, the customer service reps are always like "sure, you didn't sign up for anal perversion turbo skanks... I believe you.... neither did the other 400,000 women I've talked to this month....Are you sure your boyfriend/husband/son doesn't have access to your credit card?"

[Lilac]

I don't think I'm interesting enough today to post three random facts. I'm so boring, I'm staying in my office for lunch. (Well, basically I'm staying in because Trish and some of the others have decided to go to McDonald's YET again...and I'm just not in the mood for that crap. WTF! I love Trish, but I'm surprised she doesnt weigh a ton or have a heart attack from all the fast food she eats!)

So, I'm eating a stale bagel...but it's really not that bad. I wish I had another.

I wish I had a lunch like yesterday...with Kev.

[Lilac]

Helquin's new avatar is adorable!

I love it!

Are you still that cute? :P

[Lilac]

I just got off the phone with a professional carpet scrubbing company.

They're coming to my house Friday to clean all my carpets really, really good.

They assured me that they will get the fishy/pissy odor out of the living room.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I just can't live with that smell!

[Lilac]

Nobody is ever here anymore!

I think Tana and I scared Skilyne away permantly with our snake pictures...

And Helquin is caught up in smoking something that is not tobacco... :lol:
send some this way

:lol:

Yeah, I'm still that adorable. :rolleyes:

:rofl:

[gwensmom]

Lilac I wish I could lend you my huge carpet cleaning machine.

Dentist and shopping are over with. I have a new crown and a new pair of shoes.

Well, the shoes are not technically new. they came from a consignment store. Unfortunately, none of the pants in the store fit me, and that means more shopping. :angry:

[stargal1998]

1. I'm wearing K-Swiss and they STINK! I even used some antibacterial bathroom spray from work, but they still STINK!

2. My heart goes out to you for dealing with the smelly carpet. I use that carpet deordorizer stuff, baking soda and that carpet foam in the silver bottle to get rid of pet odors, if that helps.

3. I'm wearing cute socks with purple and green stripes, but now they'll stink because the shoes are so bad. :-(

[indigo]

I am frustrated over some LMAO's I participated in and I don't know where or how to release the frustration to get a proper response.

I haven't been here for a long, long time.

But guess what? I got a new job!!!!!

[ebandit]

I am glad to know that Helquin is "still that cute"

I got called a "kid" yesterday ---by someone younger than I am HOORAY

I don't think I am still that "cute" (as my little picture below.)

[Skilyne]

I am SO TIRED I can't function correctly, but I keep trying in vain to do so anyways.

My brother called from Iraq at 3:00am...and wanted to talk to me...which was GREAT, but I couldn't get back to sleep until 5:00, and then I needed to be up at 6:00.

I won't complain though, because I was happy to talk to him.

Oh, I have a big old Bissell carpet scrubber...and I used it, but I still smell that stink! My son says I'm crazy and all he smells is the orange carpet shampoo I used, but no, I smell fishy piss. Something needs to be done or I'll go insane. I'd be horrified if someone came to my house and it smelled bad!

Gwensmom sounds like Cinderella...a new crown and a pair of shoes! :P

And I know Helquin is still just as cute...I saw his pic on his members page before he changed it. Nice legs, too.

[Helquin]

:ph34r:

:D

[bluecrayon]

aw, Helquin is one cute qandqer and I think he knows it!!!! ;)

9 days until I head from San Francisco to there...

I am stuffing C words into my pockets... courage, clarity, caution, chimera...

[Lilac]

Wondering where Bluecrayon's "there" is....

Hoping she packs enough C words to make the trip safely and comfortably...

Thinking Bluecrayon is the free-spirit, not me.

[siafu]

i am back from immigration legal services

nonprofits. they have an undercurrent of futiility, i think

is that supposed to be tempered with an overcurrent of hope?

[siafu]

after we found out our car was stolen, we went out for pancakes

here is the comic strip we drew on the back of the placemat

i think if my boss was younger and i was a little older, we would be good friends

she told me personal things today that made me giggle

[Larrissa]

ahh

yeah

its true

[tanagee]

I earned some Karma points today...I had a box of unopened formula and baby food and I posted it on free-cycle and it now has a new home with a mom who is having just as many financial problems as me.

Today is the first day Megan has worn her big girl panties to leave the house...so far, so good.

She wants me to go lay down with her on the couch and watch Beauty & The Beast Oh Joy! <_<

[gwensmom]

I am testing a new recipe called "Crustless spinach pie". It is in the oven and smells great.

I was walking down the hall barefoot and slipped and fell. I was drinking ice water and it got all over my face.

Gwensdad is thawing out. He came home and kissed me "because he had too much chapstick on" and needed to give me some.

[siafu]

yay for too much chapstick

ii took a bath

now i have to eat lunch, start supper, do dishes

[tanagee]

As some of you may know...I fall asleep on the couch watching TV 95% of the week, so this morning I woke up to the Shrubs address to the UN and the whole time I am listening I am adding my own foot notes to the speech.

I NEED to do laundry! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_13_5.gif

:wacko:

[kittymao]

you know. You guys make me wish I was cool enough to have weird friends like you. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

*shrugs* Every where i goes, I'm out of the loop.

I just need ta get used to it.
