Eternal sunshine of my spotless mind

Ugh, have stupid comments to delete. Thankfully they don't appear until I approve them, which I don't. I am sure all my former friends have given up on me and my brain. Maybe it is spotless... ha ha ha

I will be optimistic and say that I'm back and will dust off my brain and think of wonderful and witty things to say... ha ha ha

Do I have anything insightful to add after my several-month hiatus? Unfortunately NO, just the usual blathering of pretty much nothing (kind of like that show Seinfeld--which I hated).

OH, I can say that I was disappointed that James was kicked off of AI, I thought it would be him & Scotty in the end, but I guess girl power ruled over heavy metal after all.

I see my sister has also squeezed in a few seconds out of her BUSY day to also post a blip. We want BABY NEWS! And she still needs to send me PICTURES!

My mood: HAPPY to have a 3-day weekend!!!!!!

Ugh, this morning I woke up and had a slight headache and that little tickle in the back of my throat. I have since plumetted into a fluish hell-- complete with the runny nose, headache and pressure between my eyes and I'm cold (and it's NOT cold outside). NOOOOO!

To top it off, last night I had one of those dreams where you're busy and when you wake up you feel as if you never even went to bed. I was stuck at work in an endless loop of facility problems, dealing with repair people and patrons who needed help. The power went off and I couldn't get people to leave. I even woke myself up and went back to bed and the dream just continued.

My mood: tired, cranky, yucky

Looked at a bunch of comments I've missed that are not published until I approve them. Funny how spam seeps into your life through whatever cracks it can. I deleted those and a really rude one I won't even bother to talk about. Thanks to my sis for adding the approval feature onto the comments.

My mood: junkie

As the new year begins and I lazily create resolutions in my head I will disregard a few moments later, I decided I should jot some of them down so that I can laugh at them at the end of next year...

1. Eat better (I say this as I have already consumed 2 peanut butter/chocolate mochis and 3 mini spam musubis)
2. Drink more water (this I can do)
3. Take better care of myself (get a haircut)
4. Be more patient (with people, especially my family)
5. Get a passport (and go to Euro Disney---Ha ha ha!)
6. Clean up my office (at least once)
7. Get rid of clutter (beginning w/the room downstairs)
8. Have fun (don't I always?)

My mood: Wishing everyone a wonderful new year full of good health, laughter and joy. I have lots here.

Well, the family is staying here again for the holidays. I still haven't seen him once in all the times he's come to visit. One of my facebook friends posted that he's going to get to cook dinner for them during their stay (he's a chef). That's very cool, considering when I knew him in high school, his reputation was questionable (although he was a really nice guy). Too bad my brother didn't offer up his services and cook up the first family a breakfast meal--- even if he doesn't know the recipe for the "secret" macadamia nut sauce...

There's a house on the main road that posts up a sign that reads "The Bush's (no relation) ♥ the Obamas!"

My mood: hopeful that someday I'll run into the family

That I love my child:

He insists on watching Santa Buddies in SPANISH. Does he speak (or understand) the language?

NO!

My mood: waterlogged but grateful that it finally stopped raining!

After I got Auntie Margie's Christmas card in the mail I had a brief panic that I have yet to make my Christmas card. The next day, I head outside with the child plus doggies and TRY to get some sort of picture of them together. No such luck, so this year I had to settle for Little One with Zin and then another shot of him with Kima. Next we head upstairs to take a shot in front of the FAKE Christmas tree I bought after NO SLEEP on Black Friday!

That night after my usual wasted hour of farming & mobstering on Facebook, I get on Snapfish and make my Christmas card for the year. I usually like variety and 20 cards are never enough, so I use the same pictures, but order 2 different styles. By the time I had browsed through all 300+ styles it was after midnight and I was getting loopy. Loopy enough that I should have given up and gone to bed... but NO. I had order the cards. So I order them and find out that I can't pick them up at Walgreens here, I have to have them shipped. No big deal right? Uh, duh... It's 11 days before Christmas and I kinda need them by the end of the week.

This morning when I woke up, I had a big dose of shoppers remorse as I browsed the website and found out that after 2 hours, they are unable to make changes to any orders. I even tried the live chat, but Suresh (yes, even in live chat, you get someone from India!) gave me the preform answer I was dreading--- NO they cannot cancel my order. Boohoo.

So if you're one of the lucky ones who get to see my wonderful child & doggies, cross your fingers that the USPS will persevere. I have faith in you (please)!

My mood: off to farm... looking for FVA (Farmville Anonymous)

I have too much of it. Everywhere. I have things I don't even remember buying and then when I need something, I can't remember whether I already gave it to someone or used it up myself. I say this because Little One has a project due tomorrow and I really need a feather! In 2008, I bought a bag of craft feathers for a project for his birthday party. Where are the leftover feathers? Hell if I know...

My mood: really irritated with myself and my crap!

This is not an annual thing for us... I thought I'd get a few caterpillars for his classroom this year. Luckily, we had a finite amount of them. 10 in all and no little babies stowing away on the leaves I brought home. We brought home 9 lovely friends and then one baby stowaway. Tiny (the babe), is now in a chrysalis state, so no new ones! Yippee! We've let a few go and they will all be gone shortly. It's fairly early in the season for them? I think that's why I didn't bring home the babies.

Before...

After...

Butterfly whisperer at it again

It was a windy, but sunny day for freedom

My mood: free as a butterfly
