Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
Don't feel like shovelling the ramp.
My MIL is proving to be the worst. She won't shut up about Dec. 7th (her birthday). Also the other day she was saying how she didn't like one of our name choices, and last night i got an email saying how she was sad to see it no longer on the list. What the fuck?!?!?
I'm to the point that if I have to have a schedule induction or whatever, I will make sure it's NOT on someone else's birthday. I want my kid to have her own day.
So although they are annoying you right now don't worry too much about it. It's your baby and you will see her and know what her name will be and everyone will love her regardless of what she's called. A rose by any other name, etc. etc. =P
Plus the hospital has free wireless, so if it's worth anything, I'll post updates online for you guys. =P
And the only thing out of the ordinary that I've eaten....
Eggs. We had eggs two weeks ago, went to Golden Corral last week where I had eggs, and had eggs this morning, and each day I ended up with a migraine about 8-9 hours later.
Yeah, I'll be avoiding straight eggs from now on.
Woke up this morning to no hot water, and very little water pressure overall. Went outside in the dark, flashlight in hand, to check the water heater. The heater itself looked okay, and sounded like it was on, but there was a loud 'splashing' noise coming from beneath the house (we're on a raised foundation). Sounded like a hot water pipe must have broke...and as the house next door is on a lower grade than we are, it had flooded her yard, as well as running the length of the house to the street.
My daughter is moving back here in two weeks, and into a new apartment. Two days ago she had to have unexpected car repairs of $700.
My grandmother - 95 years old and currently still living alone in her own home - about 5 hours north of us - has finally reached the time in her life when she needs to go into assisted living. We tried to get her to move closer to us over the past ten years, and she's consistently refused. Now her own house is falling apart, and she doesn't have the money to fix it up...nor should she, it's not worth it. But now she needs help in packing up what she needs to keep, and getting into 'the' local senior living complex.
*sigh*
Okay, I feel a little better being able to bitch about it :) A piece of chocolate, and I should be all right again!
My wireless mouse for my laptop died yesterday and for the life of me I could NOT figure out how to open the damn thing up! So I went searching for spare mice in our computer bins here at work and found this WAY old school microsoft mouse that my computer wouldn't even recognize.
Roz plugs in mouse.
Computer sputters and asks, 'Roz...what the fuck did you just stick in me.'
'What, it said microsoft.'
'GET IT OUT. GET IT OUT RIGHT NOW!'
So I fussed with my wireless mouse and found the little logo button spring thingy and poof! New battery =D
lol/...omg...I was just looking through here...hadn't been here much and saw this and about spit my dr pepper on the screen...
:_ipodThe hubby gave me an ipod touch for an early Christmas/Birthday present.. how cool is that?..Ive missed having an ipod.
Mike asked me where my ipod was and he asked if it was still sitting in the jeep in lik 30 degree weather.
'Oh you just want a new one, so you're going to freeze that one up.'
Dirty look, 'You mean the ipod you took with you to KYRGYSTAN right after you gave it to me for my birthday?'
:barb
He says this one isnt allowed to go to the lake with me haha.
got a bug bite last week. it got infected. then abcessed.... *grrrr* by sunday i ended up in the ER get a 1/2" hole popped in the back of my leg and all sorts of lovely stuff done to it. and it fucking HURT!!!! (why they bothered with teh novacine, I have no clue. didn't help at all, but I'll get to pay for it anyways....) they give me antibiotics and painkillers, send me home.
Only i wasn't at home, i was at a friend's house on the wrong side of town.
So I am totally fuzzy and STILL i pain come Tuesday - call in sick to work.
Get up Wednesday, determined to get to work. Only to find out that I can't drive due to the placement of the damn wound - can't use the gas/brake pedals. SO i go to my friend's Dr - who tells me that the reason it has not gotten vastly better is that they missed a pocket when they were popping it. he gives me a work release and I have to go back in today. Can't put pressure on it for more than a few minutes....
this is the least amount of fun i have had in a LONG time!!!!!
So to get them back, and to preventit from ever happening again I filtered all the really bad curse words to cuddly sweet words..
Sometimes its just the funniest thing in the world when they try to talk tough..
Jello calls us this morning asking if we want to come over and hang out tonight. Cool, we say yes and start chatting about this, that and the other till this happens...
I'm talking about the shop party Mike has planned for his airmen on the 20th when Jello says, 'Joe...stop.' (Joe being Nancy, her recently knee surgeried husband).
'What's Joe doing?'
'I'm about to get into the shower when he walked by and saw I was declothed on the bed with a belt next to me.'
'....wait, what?'
'Then he says, 'oh yeah!' and looks at the belt.'
'Wait...you're naked...on the phone...' Jello laughs, 'Ok, I'm gonna have to let you go now.'
Much laughter follows. 'Byeeeeeee!,' says Jello.
'Man, that aint right.'
