Between school and life I’ve been running around like crazy this week. I have a paying job tomorrow and then I have to run my grandparents all over creation… And THEN I get a phone call tonight right after I get home from school tonight wanting to know if a client can cash in on some freebies for Saturday. :rolleyes: I can haz nap? ---

Plus I cannot learn from a piece of paper. Maybe from youtube. I learned how to crochet from Youtube. I had my Friday the 13th a day early. I also found out my friends are all tired of me and I need to drop off the face of the earth from them for a while. That’s a lovely realization to have. :mad: ---

Woke up from an awful dream this morning that in addition to everything going on I also still worked for my previous employer and they had just added a bunch of stuff to my workload. So glad it wasn’t true. **Spaz** , I’m sorry. I think your IRL friends suck. And, yes, I agree with **GT** , WE do not share their opinion. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. Also feelin’ a bit under the weather so I made the executive decision to stay home. I have a little bit of fever and feel all stuffy. I’ve talked with OYKW and he said I sounded all stuffed up and should stay home. Thus, I sought a medical opinion as well. 😃 'Tis 30 degrees Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 49 and windy. Winter hath returned. **{{{Spaz}}}** like others have said we definitely do not share that opinion. IRL friends suck sometimes. I shall partke of more caffiene now and feed rumbly tummy. Grits 'n aigs sounds good. Happy Firday the 13th :eek: Y’all! ---

Friday the 13th, huh? Good thing I’m not superstitious… _\_ I can see already it’s very windy out, and it just looks cold. Today’s big chore is to run to the convenience center, and I may start some laundry. I should probably make a pre-trip checklist - so much to do, so much to forget. And I’m concerned about how so many Mumpers are starting the new year. I will not have this. You will all have happy, carefree lives, dammit! Knock it off with the sick and the problems and stuff. I’m not kidding. Start having a good year, and I mean it! :mad: 😃 ---

Oh, well. I know it’s my destiny until I give birth. I’m pretty used to it, now. I’m also much wider front to back than side to side. It’s pretty funny. If I took a picture and photoshopped out my stomach I would look exactly the same as before I got pregnant. It’s forty-five pounds of just twins. Nothing else. It’s snowing a lot, and we’re heading out to the Science Centre in a few minutes. I should try and find some lunch to pack. I think we mostly have triscuits. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Friday the 13th, huh? Good thing I’m not superstitious… _\_ Heh, I had to get that out of my system early or else I would have turned out wicked screwed up. Today’s my birfday. I wasn’t born on a Firday though. I was born on a Sunday which just means that old poem is full of crap. Sunday’s child ain’t blithe…or gay!! I went to bed at 1am but my back and sciatica hurt too much to fall asleep. So, I took a blanket and a pillow and settled myself down on the hard wood floor. It felt SO good! However, after about an hour, my back felt much better and I decided to give the bed another try. I stood up and looked at my side of the bed and saw [this](http://s862.photobucket.com/albums/ab183/spike1380/?action=view¤t=iggyinbed.png). I slept on the couch. :smack: Why did I pick today for the day to start getting up at a normal time? I have nothing to do today. Sweetie has to work and I have no vehicle. I see a nap in my not to distant future. **LiLi** - I agree. Actually, I agree so much that I brainwashed myself into not throwing up at a very young age. What sucks even more is being completely incapable of throwing up when you desperately need to. I can’t even remember why I hated it so much (other than the fact that I was doing it repeatedly for days). {{{{ **Spaz** }}}} - **Swampy** ’s right. IRL friends DO suck sometimes. My best friend still gets on my case for breaking up with Sweetie and moving to NY for 2 years because of the fact that I left HER. I didn’t friggen leave HER. I left Sweetie because I had mental shit I had to deal with. I dealt and now I’m a happier person and back with Sweetie and I don’t need the frequent guilt trips about it…Grumble… ---

Well, then _ **Happy CongoDay!!!** _ And the puppeh pic is just adorable! awwwwwwwwwwww It’s windy like crazy here. I don’t wanna take the trash - I might get cold! It’s all of 37° out there. But this time next week, I’ll be in the Caribbean… 😃 In my swimsuit, perhaps?? 😃 ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > And the puppeh pic is just adorable! awwwwwwwwwwww Thanks! He’s very photogenic. He’s also a little shit. When we want him to go outside and he doesn’t want to, he rolls over on his back and stretches and squeaks because he knows it makes us melt. I think he was getting back at me because Sweetie had been trying to put him out before bed and Iggy was on my feet doing the cute puppy thing. So, I kicked him off my feet. 😃 He was quite annoyed with me after that. ---

I left Sweetie because I had mental shit I had to deal with. I dealt and now I’m a happier person and back with Sweetie and I don’t need the frequent guilt trips about it…Grumble… This is another very good point. Sometimes IRL friends just don’t get mental health stuff. Happy Birthday, **congo**!!! I am just about finished taking a quick break from lunch preparations. I hadn’t had a chance to eat breakfast so I just did that. After being extremely anxious and whiny all morning I went out to start my van because I needed to go to the store and buy rolls for lunch. And… I had forgotten to liberate the wipers from the windshield so one of the wipers cracked and fell off. Then I started crying. And a fat lot of good it did me, too. 😛 After I thought about it for awhile, though, I realized that honestly (even though it didn’t seem like it right then) it picked the best possible time and place to break and it could have done much more damage that just a broken blade. So, I’m glad about that, I guess. Ok, back to cooking! ---

Well whoop-de-doo - it appears the \*Xtreme \*wind has knocked a large branch on to our red shed leaving a gaping hole along one end. Once \*\*FCD \*\*finishes showering and dressing, we’ll be wandering out there to check it out and see what we have to do to protect the stuff inside. But come spring, we’ll need another shed, or we’ll need to clean out the white shed and make room for all the stuff from the red shed. Or we’ll need shelves in the garage for red-shed-stuff. Anyway, rah for the wind… :rolleyes: ---

The wind has been vicious here too. Every time it blows I worry about losing more trees. So far we’ve only lost 2 trees since September but we’ve lost a crap-ton of branches. Luckily for us though, they’ve all landed in the yard or the street \<_knocks on wood_…\> I would kinda like it if one landed on the roof though. Damn all those lucky buggers who got new roofs out of the tornado and hurricane and Halloween snow storm. 'snot fair. ☹ ---

Sweetie just gave me my birfday pressie. He gave me a gym membership. Before you ladies get all up in arms about how uncouth he is…I wanted it. I want a new vacuum too but he didn’t get me one of those. ☹ Anyway, one of the few things I don’t like about this area is how far we are away from convenience. The only gym I know of in the area isn’t open convenient hours and it’s too busy and too intimidating. Well, a new small, family owned gym is opening in Sturbridge on Feb5 and it’s gonna be open 24/7 with staff available at normal hours and key card access and no staff on off hours. I’m very excited about this. It’s only about a 8 minute drive and even shorter at 1am so it’s really close too. I can’t wait for Feb5!!! The other part of my pressie is his permission to do absolutely nothing all day…um…what does he think I’ve been doing for the last 3 weeks?? 😃 ---
