Random Things

I had to take my GD one hour test this morning and I kind of loved the drink. Everyone was warning me that it was gross but I thought it tasted like orange soda. Also, the people you run into at these lab testing places at 7 am are quite diverse. I think I was the only one that didn't reek of booze and cigarettes. I plan to spend the rest of my day watching tv and making fondant zoo animals for a jungle baby shower cake.

. What are your randoms for the day?

Re: Random Things

  • I didn't mind the first few sips of it but it was the amount I had to drink in such a short about of time that made me want to gag.
  • My boss and primary coworker are both out today. I thought that would make today boring and probably stressful, but I'm delighting in the quiet.

  • Candy Cane Hershey Kisses are like Christmas in my mouth.

  • I can't figure out what is wrong with my siggy and it's giving me unnecessary rage.

    Tomorrow is my 4th wedding anniversary and amazingly, both my H and I have the day off. Our big plans for the day include going to yoga together. My H never goes with me and I am so excited about it.

    I want so badly to buy some tall (probably flat) boots but I can't pull the trigger, 1) because I don't want to commit to the shopping, 2) they are very fashionable and I am not, 3) I would probably have to buy a new pair of jeans and that is irritating, and 4) I doubt any would zip over my ginormous calves.

    Mmmmmmmm. I was just telling my coworker about those yesterday.

  • My random #2:  I had a dream last night, entitled "Mr. Spidrman hates me." 

    I went to Cali's house to listen to dance music and to go sledding using those metal discs that they use in Christmas Vacation.  Before we did any of that, we looked at The Nest.  Kristen had posted that she had a third baby, a boy, who had a small moustache.  Everyone was responding that they were shocked that she had another baby already.  Fallin posted, "He looks OK."  Hezz sent Cali an email saying that as former mod of AFSB, Cali should make sure that everyone tells Kristen her baby is beautiful. 

    Then we went into the kitchen/living room to eat ice cream sundaes.  I needed a step stool to reach the bowls in the cabinet.  Cali told me to get Mr. Spidrman's step stool from the other side of the room.  He heard this and was like, "Well, the step stool stays there for a reason, but FINE, if you need it, I guess you can use it.  I doubt you'll put it back."

    Then I realized I needed to check my email.  Mr. Spidrman got angry at me again because my checking my email messed up his automatic login to Gmail on the computer.

    The End

  • My 3 foot person just looked me straight in the eye, smirked, reached out sideways with a hidden crayon and started coloring the wall while never breaking eye contact.
  • I am amazed at the level of detail you can remember from your dreams. Bravo.

  • I'm sorry my husband was such a jerk to you, HT.  He totally ruined ice cream sundae night.

    I wonder what Kristen's new mustachioed baby is named?

  • I'm planning some travel for my boss in sYRacUsE, and I keep wanting to make jokes about it (like finding a hotel outside of town because a hotel in the 'Cuse is probably too crazy).

    I burned the crap out of my pinky on the waffle iron a few weeks ago. I managed to not pop the blister, but now it's starting to get all dry and the skin is cracking. Gross.

    One of Lorne's cousins won't be at Thanksgiving. Because he's going to be in rehab for heroin addiction. He's 18 and just graduated from HS. He wants to quit but he doesn't know how; I guess the last several nights he's tried sleeping on his parents' floor so they can keep an eye on him, but by the time they fall asleep he ends up sneaking away to get a fix. My mind is blown. He always seemed like kind of a stoner, but I wouldn't have ever guessed he was into anything like that.

    The Needle and the Damage Done just came on my Pandora as I was reading your post,Noisy. That gave me the chills. How sad for him. It's so scary how heroin is making such a big comeback amongst middle class kids.

  • Your new baby is BEAUTIFUL, Kristen.  *looks pointedly at Hezz*

    image
  • I think a mustache on a baby could work.  Thank you for sharing your dream HT. 

    Noisy, that sucks.  I hope he's able to kick his addiction.

    We put in yet another offer on a house yesterday, and the seller's agent has said that they will be in touch.  I'm so not getting my hopes up, but it would be lovely.

  • I'll get my hopes up for you Nov.

  • Mustache baby is really cute!  Everyone be sure to tell Kristen how cute her baby is or else!

    I'll be excited with Noisy for you, November.  We've got you covered.

  • Aww, thanks guys!

  • I am sitting in my cube with my pants un-buttoned. They are pants I've had for 5 years and they seem to fit everywhere but the waist. I buttoned them for my class about an hour ago, but now they are back to un-buttoned.

    Hope the house thing works out, Nov. And the rehab thing, Noisy.

  • That is a cute baby despite the facial hair.

    Good luck with the house November.

    Noisy's new pic is killing me. Will and Evie look so sweet together.

  • My baby's moustache wishes you well. 
    image Ready to rumble.
  • November, I hope it happens!

    Noisy, I hope he gets the help he needs.  Heroin is a horrible drug and it i tough to see another young person using it.  If you ever need to talk let me know.  Some of my brother's friends did get clean and are doing quite well now.

     

  • I also did not mind the taste of the GD test drink, at least at the beginning.  It did make me feel like I was going to pass out, though.

    HT's dream and the picture of Kristen's mustachioed baby made me chuckle so hard I woke the baby.  She registered her disapproval by shooting me her pirate face (mouth open as if to say "Arrr!" and one eye squinted shut--I hope to capture it on film soon).

    Good luck with the house, November.  I hope this is the one!

    I'm going to miss the hospital bed.  Having to sit up on my own is way less fun than having a button that does it for me.  Especially a button that is right next to a built-in TV remote.  Not being able to lose the remote in the covers is pretty sweet.
