I woke up at 2:30 am feelin funny. Not good funny, hot and cold funny, scratchy throat and rumbly stomach funny. And then I threw up. So, yay, I’ve got the flu. No fairie costume for me. No trick or treat. And I have a midterm Tuesday, so if I’m laying around I really feel [...]
I like several Fall Out Boy songs. A lot.
I ate yogurt with oatmeal and rasins for dinner yesterday. I made the kids Top Ramen.
I have more zits now, at 28, then I ever did as a teenager.
I really hate parties.
I still love Weezer. Seriously. One of the BEST BANDS EVER.
I really need new underwear.
I talk [...]
Have you ever been surrounded by friends and family, hell, just people, all the time and still find yourself lonely for some reason?
I feel sad. Ok, I’m just going to say it: I miss my brother. He moved to Wisconsin last week, and while I am glad he is doing what he wants to do, [...]
Or get a really big dog. Or something.
Around 1:30 this morning Jason dragged me off our bed into the hallway and told me to get down. Not the best way to wake up. He had just gone to bed, heard a bunch of sirens and glanced out the window to see a cop car drive [...]
… or at least the people at HBO must think so. I’ve been reading Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels for a few years now and just finished one last night. Since I’m pretty compulsive about reading an entire series and knowing what happens with all “my” characters, after a rather weepy weekend (and morning) I [...]
Ivy has amassed quite a collection of makeup supplies lately. A couple of the homes we’ve cleaned out had all kinds of Mary Kay and Avon makeup samples in them, clean and sealed, so I let her have some of them. She has a special box, full of her jewelry and makeup.
(Her dad very nearly [...]
A House Elf. I already have a basement and he could sleep on my piles of winter clothes and drink the 15 zillion cases of Pepsi my husband bought (can’t pass up a good sale!) before realizing that Pepsi might be rotting his gut.
Perfect eyesight or at least really good eye care insurance. It’s [...]
I think I was born without a confrontation gene. Because ya know, when someone is rude to me, or hurts my feelings, or needlesly rips me a new one over some percieved slight I always ALWAYS smile, nod and try to diffuse the situation gracefully. Often while sacrificing my own feelings. Somehow, I just end [...]
Sunday I had the bright idea to try and sort all of my neglected flower beds out in the space of a single day. (Note to self: Plant something that doesn’t require weeding.) And so, for the first time in several months, I am having back spasms. I almost forgot how much those suck.
Luckily, I [...]
My dad just called to let me know my Great-Grandma Dora passed away. While I’m sad for our family I am glad she’s at peace now and not trapped in her body anymore. Last week I stopped by to visit her and she smiled at me and I couldn’t help but exclaim “There’s Grandma!”. She [...]
