Wrote 5 pages of a paper that isn’t due until December. Ugh…writing about my family and my childhood. Thanks for bringing back all those :rolleyes:happy:rolleyes: memories Mr. Professorman. I’ll finish the paper in a few weeks, when I’m ready to start analyzing my upbringing. Started a fire with the last of the dry wood and brought some wet wood in to dry. Now snuggled up on the couch with Sweetie, Ginger, Holly, and the Terrible Iggy Dammit and getting ready to play CoH for a few hours on this dreary day. ---

**Yay for girls!!** {{ **Shadow** }} We’ve been down the kidney disease road before and know that doesn’t turn out well. ☹ The panini maker sounds great, **Ashes** [sup]2[/sup]! I don’t want to do work. I know I always say that when I’m here, but I’m only here when I don’t want to do work. 😛 ---

Congrats on the Girls, Girls, …etc., etc. **LiLi**! Looking forward to baby pics when the blessed day comes! Not much today. It was the last day of a 3 day vacation even though I irked some Tuesday morning. I got my car taken care of and did some vital napping earlier. I had some nacho chips and cheese dip as a snack. I also discovered taco sauce is a cost-effective substitute for salsa. I’m not sure what’s on the menu for supper. **rosie’s** sig to all. Remember, we’re a day closer to the weekend. Bri2k ---

**Bob** , ick ick ick. 😃 Good thing their dad is a third degree black belt in three martial arts, isn’t it? We will devote time to figuring out which twin is the evil one. It’s top priority. ---

**Hooray for Lil’ LiLis**! Today it rained. Tourists are stupid when it rains. You would have thought lava or sulfuric acid was falling from the sky. :smack: On the good side, I think I finally figured out what direction to go with on my first LJ Idol topic. By the way, for those of you on LJ, I’m doing [LJ Idol](http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/profile) this year. ---

Yay for **girls** **LiLi**! Yay for irk bein’ over but boo for not seein’ OYKW for two days in a row now. He’s dealin’ with irk stuff this evenin’. ☹ Oh well. Gotta make a livin’ and all that there stuff. Thus, I swiped the General’s dindin. Plus, I gave enough leftover for **N.O.L.** tomorrow. In a bit I shall head over to the church house for Evenin’ Prayer. That shall be good also. **Ashes[sup]2[/sup]** it looks a little like a colonial bedpan warmer. ---

Yay for **girls**! Tisiphone has inflammatory cystitis. I’m supposed to reduce the stress in her life and increase fluids and in the meantime, she gets the good drugs. It will probably recur throughout her life, so I’ll just have to budget for it from now on. The vet tech told me she was a spitfire. Well, [Tisiphone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisiphone) wasn’t known for her [virtues](http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/tgodsandgoddesses/g/062909TisiphoneErinyes.htm), [after all](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Tisiphone). ---

That sucks **Shadow** A comic I did some art for as an internship is finally getting printed. I don’t think any of my art is left (I only did a few pages), but I’m in the credits. It’s about the Green Bay Packers and how they got started, which was weird for because my family doesn’t _do_ sports. But it’s called Gridiron and it’ll be out very soon and I’m getting a free copy. Going to a party Saturday night. Half nervous about it. I invited a previous boyfriend to go with me and fool around. Thinking strongly about going to bed early. ---

So… turns out that I didn’t have to wait until Halloween to find out about the job I interviewed for a week ago. I accepted their offer yesterday 🙂 I’m still going to my other interview scheduled for Friday, though, because that job is Sat-Sun only and my new one is Tues-Thurs. I’m not sure yet how my current employers are going to react to me dropping to the night shift only (there are _occasional_ contracts that run from 5:30-9:30, maybe 50 days of work the last year) but with this new job I’ve taken I’m going to be making a dollar less than twice an hour what I do now. If they really wanted to keep me around on the day shift, they should have offered me one of the many non-contract positions I’ve applied for over the past 4 years, huh? **lissla** , your older kids are boys, right? Congrats on the soon-to-be new additions 😃 ---

Woo hoo! The **MMP** is in bed and I’m the only one runnin’ around! Here I’m walking like an Egyptian and now like Pee Wee Herman. Watch out! I’m going to dance like the kids from Peanuts, bobbing my head and sticking my arms out like a hipster zombie. The code to the parental control is Nosebud! Violent movies are better when viewed whilst wearing a funny hat and Dad’s boots-- only. Sugary caffeinated drinks for me and my friend bartender! Of _course_ it’ll be fine, dogs looove lots of soda after midnight. Smiley attack!!! :)😕🆒:rolleyes: :(:p:eek::(:smack: ⭕mad::dubious: 😛 Y’know, it’d be a cinch to climb down from my balcony so’s to run free fighting crime.

Hope she’s better soon. Why are there empty soda cans all over the livin’ room?
