I caught myself using my dad’s old-timey term for light outer jacket: windbreaker.
My body is jellied from skiing and hiking. Here’s what hurts: my knees, back, ankles, feet, head, eyes…etc. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mom would be proud. I’ve been diligently applying sunscreen to my face & neck and am sunburn free. And it has been really sunny here. I’d have been positively crimson without my trusy SPF50.
The House Warming is in June, I’m offering rooms and floors, and anywhere one might crash! All mumpers will have top choice of course.
I was one of those silly home buyers. I fall in love with a home in no time. But within minutes of being in this house, both Jim and I knew it was meant to be. Thanks for the compliments on the house everyone! I’ll be boring you with after pictures in the months to come, and I’ll be celebrating when we cover that shamrock green.
I’m going to miss that little gremlin, he’ll be going to school next year. sniffle He’s my constant companion, my Little Guy.
News flash: I’m hosting Easter. Argggghhhhh. I was really hoping Local Best Friend would want to host, but she’s all stressed out, what with (relatively) new kid and stuff. I was feeling all spring-cleany this afternoon. Guess I’ll have to follow through on that impulse.
Two minutes was too long though. I’m sure playing with kitty cat for two minutes is fun, but we suffer from short attention spans. Perhaps a compilation of stuff.
Allow me to direct:
Play with kitty (14 seconds)
Chase kitty (8 seconds)
Squirt kitty in the face with water bottle (3 seconds)
Quickly cut to rewarding kitty with it’s favorite treat, nom nom nom (10 seconds)
Capture a squirrell, then RELEASE in your home (20+ seconds)
Show victorious kitty and it’s kill (1 second, you want to tease this shot)
Then open a propane tank and set the kitty’s tail on fire (THIS can be 2 minutes, plus the audience will appreciate the big budget explosion at the end)
I may have mentioned yesterday that stoopit HMO called me at home yesterday while I was at work. This morning I called the nurse back to see what the dealio was. She wanted to inform me that my potassium levels were a little low, but that wouldn’t have anything to do with the edema. Additionally, the doc was concerned because my urine was very diluted. They wanted to know if perhaps I was drinking too *much * water.
So, yet again, I went through my fluid intake with the consulting nurse. She allowed as to how I certainly wasn’t drinking too much water.
She also told me the doctor said not to be concerned about the nodule on my thyroid. Apparently, they’re quite common, and, seeing as how my thyroid tests came out normal, I shouldn’t worry. Whatever…I still have an appointment next week.
Pugs, nope, I don’t wear any kind of spandex under my workout, or even work clothes. I do wear a sports bra to help keep the girls from flopping everywhere when I run, but that’s it.
My daughter told me another piece of good news today. It seems one of her teachers is nominating her for a scholarship. It’s only $500.00 bucks, but every bit helps. I guess we’ll find out in May if she receives it or not.
I guess I should get a move on. I’ve got laundry going and some other stuff I’m trying to do.
I’ve never managed to be first on a page except when I wasn’t trying.
I went to see the kitties today. And I ended up with cat hair everywhere! Yeah, I know, I grew up with cats, but one or two at a time. When you have, oh, four or five all over you at once you get a lot more hair. Lucky for them I think it’s hilarious!
Taters, I’m worried about you. It sounds like your doc isn’t doing much. I’d be looking for another.
it’s not her doctor, snowbunny, it’s her HMO. HMOs suck ass.
But, yeah, Taters, it sounds like you need a full work up, and not piecemeal testing, done.
OMG, I am so tired but terribly excited–the project I’m working on with my friend has taken a turn for the even better; we’re talking something which has the potential to revolutionize the world and I am not indulging in hyperbole. It’s scary and exhilarating and mind boggling and just freaking amazing… Wow.
I keep telling my friend that we have a tiger by the tail and the main thing is never to let go–just keep tapdancing, man, no matter what. I realize this is a tad incoherent but my brain is going about a zillion miles an hour–I feel like Alice right now!
Hope the rest of you are well! I’m going to bed–I really need some sleep right now. I was planning on going with my daughter, son in law and grandkid to see Barack Obama speak tomorrow morning but we couldn’t get more than three tix for the event so I gave mine up so the kid can go. I have my mind made up already, and I can go to the event in Eugene later on. Junior’s writing a school paper about Obama so it’s much more important for him to go than me anyway! He’s very excited and I think this is something he’ll remember forever–kids need these moments.
For reference: He claims he was a medieval assassin, she says she was an imp, or a pixie.
Normally, these would (hopefully!) get uploaded sometime before the end of 2009. You guys make me actually get my ass in gear sometimes :).
Or something…
Morning all. Still no gas, so breakfast consisted of falafel sandwiches from a little shop down the road. All good. HRH is finally down for her nap and I am flying under the radar since hubby has some kind of grump on this morning. I think he needs to retreat to his cave and whack something with a chunk of wood!
Smarty, it sounds like something very exciting is happening for you! Fingers crossed you can take the world by storm!
Lunch, cute kids! I foresee lots of headaches in your future!!!
