I think there’s a dumpster in Shadow’sLR because **LiLi **is having a baby. Note we have NOT heard from her this morning. She’s going to have the baby on #1 son’s Bday–TODAY! I talked to tnc and it’s all arranged.
I will post pics of my wild hair (no pincurls involved) later. I think I need a haircut.
I have to make a cake today, buy some mozarella cheese for #1 son’s fav dinner, and go with him to rent an electric guitar, and buy the crap that goes with and electric guitar (straps are $50? As if!).
Nice, sun shiny day outside. Cooler, with a frost last night.
Official baby pool (unless he comes today, in which case, my post stands): Jan 10 at 10pm, Canadian time.
Um, Canada has more than one time zone, rigsy.
I bet on November 1? 
TNC pool: 1/13 at 0345. (Hey, both my babies were born at seriously inconvenient hours!)
The Idiots got me up early today, barking their fool heads off. Probably because it’s insanely warm outside – currently 67° and apparently getting warmer since it was 66° half an hour ago – and they saw an Evil Attack Squirrel that needed chasing or something. I have no idea. But I really, really hated being pulled out of my warm bed – apparently the weather is starting to change (it’s supposed to start cooling off rather dramatically in a couple hours), and my knee ached all night as a result. Stoopid knee. 
I was hoping that I wouldn’t get all that “I’m feeling a weather change in my bones” thing with it after it got bionicized, but apparently it’s worse than ever. So I had a very, VERY restless night. It finally settled down at about 7:00 this morning and stopped hurting, only to have the Idiots go off barely an hour later. So they are definitely on my List this morning.
ANyway, off to caffeinate some more and contemplate the day.
I’ll take today, 5:00 EST.
**
Achod**? That’s a new one. Whatever does it mean? A chocolate herring of dirt?
**
rigs**, how can a guitar strap cost that much? When I bought one it was significantly less. As a matter of fact, there’s a music store right next door to my shop and they sell them for $5! Heck, I could mail you one and you’d still come out ahead. If you want me to, let me know.
All the food is happily cooking. I’m just biding my time for another few minutes before I begin packing for my delivery.
ETA: Bold move,** DB**!
gt’s right, swampy, I’m de-cluttering. The dumpster is 7/8 full, and I’m going to see how much more I can cram in. They’re going to drop off another when they pick this one up later this week. I hope that two is enough. The leaders of my OCD group are pleased with the progress I’m making. I am, too, actually.
Once the absolute crap is gone, the rest will be boxed up for charity. I got a flyer in the mail yesterday for a local charity, HOPE Services, that will be coming through the neighborhood at the end of the month. All I have to do is box everything up on the appointed day and put out on the curb for them to pick up. They’ll take the clothes and other housewares. Once that’s gone, Goodwill can come and get my mom’s dead, abusive ex-boyfriend’s furniture. Since every time I look at it, I think of him, it’s long past time to get rid of it. Besides that, it’s ugly.
In the meantime, I’m considering what I want the house to look like afterwards. Drapes? Curtains? New blinds? Couch or loveseat? Currently, the only seating in the house is my computer chair, so chairs for the kitchen table would be a good start. I just have to get all the junk out of the kitchen first. I am keeping the kitchen table. It belonged to my great-grandmother and it’s very pretty.
tnc pool: January 13 at 6:05 pm EST.
I have no idea where LiLi lives in Canuckland, so choose one! Let’s say CST. (central time, not Canadian time… besides I have it on good authority that Canada is just one big country). 
Here is my hair today, taken just minutes ago. I gave this hair to #1 son as part of my genetic legacy. On him, budding axe man that he is, it looks great. Me? Not so much.
Flashdance lives!
Thoughts? Should I shave my head? cut it all off? Grow it like Rapunzel and eat granola? Die it pink? What? I need to do Something.
“One”, in Hebrew 
Not yet, guys. Calm down. Although I did have a whole bunch of contractions around two this morning. Unfortunately they petered out.
So today I’m going to do some baking and some slow, unenthusiastic tidying. No heavy scrubbing, and no gin. 
And pack my bag of freezer food to take to the hospital.
I will update you if I’m actually going into labour! I will not leave for the hospital without letting you know!
Okay, I’ll play the TNC game…1/14 at 1:14 a.m.
swampy, did you see my birfday song to ACBG?? And I sang in my best off-key voice, too.
Stoopit pug dawg got me out of bed at 4:20 ayem! :mad: That was after she laid there for 20 minutes giving me a nudge every five. :mad: Why, may you ask? Did she need to go out? Noooooooooooooo! She was hungry. Stoopit dawg.
Today is department staff meeting. So I will probably be sitting in an overheated room with too many people breathing my oxygen and trying not to fall asleep. Oh and it’s a lunch meeting, too, so it will be a long day. :rolleyes:
I have used my quota of smilies for this post.
Tupug
I am of two minds about this:
- Sure you will-as if your water suddenly breaking will not take precedence over your little internest friends…
AND
2. a strange visual in my head of **LiLi **typing madly away, yelling at her hubby and the cats–“wait, wait, I can’t leave yet! the board is down and I. Must. Post.!”
Hee.
I can’t believe you’re making me do this. And I hope that you realize that these ‘hat hair’ pictures were taken just for color effect.
So, anyways, I vote, dye it purple, pink, and blue.
I like your hair rigs. It just seems to need to be tamed down a bit, maybe.
Note: In the 2nd picture I totally look like my mom.
Let me try this again. I was mid-post when my bosses walked into the VunderCube…
As part of my morning ritual, I cruise by the Wikipedia home page to see what they have up. In the Random Article section, this item on Swedish Emigration to the US is featured. It’s the story of my mother’s family, who came here just over 100 years ago. Given that my grandmother was born on the boat during passage, that makes me just 2 generations down from the events…
Kinda cool in general, waaaay cool for me.
Your hair is fine, and your butt isn’t too fat.
::looks at Rigs:: ::wolf whistles::
Chug the gin, woman, my prediction expires in 7 hours!
I have the morning off. I awokw to a certain beagle snapping a rubber glove in the bathroom. My finger looks much less hideous without all the blood. Three more days, and I get the weekend off. Is is Firday, yet?
rigs, don’t shave it, you look too cute!
Happy (belated( birhtday to ACBG and kaiwikson!!
you can’t see my butt, so what exactly are you saying? Are you saying that you think my butt IS too big? That it doesn’t look too big in these pants, but that is does in other pants? You bastard!
<goes off weeping>
why does doggio have a bloody finger? No one tells me anything around here!
Pie–I was kidding about the dye. Only half kidding about the shaving it off. I am antsy about it, which tells me to Leave It Alone–Bad Things happen to me when I am impulsive re my hair…
But thanks, all for the nice comments. <off to walk off my fat butt…>
