Random

no nightmares last night.

i think we're cloe to agreeing on a name for a boy: James.   i've been gunning for this one since before Lila but Andy was resistant.   Last night i found the achilles heel.   I told him to think of his favourite guitar gods and that seemed to do it.   Who can argue with logic like that?  Jimmy Page, Jimi Jendrix.   The only weird thing might be that it's my nephew's middle name but I care not.

The coffee shop gave me an extra breakfast sandwich this morning and i didn't notice the extra bag on my passenger seat until i got to work.   it's frightening that i'm driving with that level of conciousness

Re: Random

  • Can you drop that extra sandwich off by me? Thanks!

    My great uncle died and I'm a mess. But my pup is being overly adorable. 

    I'm watching Ellen and she has this couple on that wrote a letter and basically they got married, moved in with her parents to save up for a house 2 years ago, AND THEY JUST HAD A BABY. They live in a single bedroom.

    I can't bring myself to judge too badly because who knows what happened, but I can't help but compare how these kinds of stories go in "the real world" vs. on The Nest.

    Here: Girl would get roasted and told how poor her life choices are.

    Rwal world: Ellen gives them $10k.

  • Jimi Jendrix was a juitar jiant.

    I like the name James! It's my dad's name.

  • I'm really sorry about your uncle, Moo.

  • I like James. My best bud when I was little was Jimmy down the street. I wouldn't care if it was my nephew's middle name either.

    Moo, sorry to hear about your Uncle :(

    I am getting stupid excited for Vegas next week. I have the urge to party like a rock star since this will likely be our last solo getaway for a while.

  • I'm sorry about your uncle, Moo.  :( But there's something about an animal's comfort and snuggles that helps ease a little of the pain.

    We moved a few months ago and I had 2 HUGE boxes of DVD's that I made my teenage nephews pick through and take what they wanted.  I was going to donate the remaining but discovered that on Amazon you can trade books, DVD's and video games.  So last night I spent 2 hours listing the DVD's.  Some of the trade-in values crack me up. 

    For example, Ice Cube's Critically Acclaimed Classic "Are We There Yet" fetched .50, while "A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" was a quarter.  "Blair Witch Project" got $1.00 but the "Hairspray" remake (don't judge) got .25.  It's like a fun game to figure out what's going to be worth more.  I also received 61 cents for a textbook that cost me $75.00 2 semesters ago.

  • Also, Lila saw a big blue/green vein on my leg yesterday and said "I lika you pretty colour"

    You should, kid, 'cause you made that vein vericose.

  • Also, the new Neosporin commercial with the puppets makes me smile every single time I see it.  It's cute and happy.

  • I got a foffing speeding ticket a quater of a mile from work today, for going about 10 miles over the limit. Probably flameful, but I'm pissed he didn't just give me a warning. It's obvious I work here, I was headed to work, no other cars were around, etc. UGH, this is hard to explain without going into too many details about my specific place of work. Anyway, PISSED.
  • I'm sorry Moo.  Also, I can't believe I haven't told you how cute the puppy is yet!  She's adorable!

    I woke up at 1 am and Mabel was lying at the foot of the bed with her eyes opened.  I initially feared she was dead, but it turns out she just forgot to close her eyes before falling asleep.  That is one lazy dog.

    We're supposed to get our bonus info sometime this week (likely today or tomorrow) and I'm on pins and needles waiting.

  • I'm sorry about your uncle moocifer

    I like James.

    I am in a great mood today. I am not sure why. I mean, not that I should be in a bad mood, but I just feel exceptionally chipper. I realized this when I was singing loudly in my car and drivedancing. 

  • I'm sorry about your uncle Moo.

    My eyes are itchy. I'm really hoping that it's just random itchiness and that I'm not allergic to the new makeup I got. I also hope I don't have whatever it is Evie has that's making her eye all goopy.

    I got more sleep last night than I usually do and I'm WAY more tired than I usually am this morning. Wtf.

    It's probably still residual effects of the glitter bomb.

  • Oh hi there. I'm fixing mistakes at work that happened when our catalog went on line...in 1999. Super fun.

    I found a kickass apartment that I want to look at but we agreed to not start looking until March. Sigh.

  • You know, it may be. I'm still finding glitter everywhere today.

  • I'm so sorry about your uncle, moo.

    I'm curious why Coley thought we would judge Hairspray, but not Are We There Yet?

  • Ice Cube dares you to judge him.

  • Sorry about Uncle Moo. I also like the name James.

    Noisy, Evie looks exactly like Will in that picture!

    I dropped Charlotte off for her first day at day care today. I has a sad.

    None of my access is working at work. Lotus Notes is the devil.

    I made eggplant parm risotto for dinner and am fancying myself quite the chef.

    All I can smell is asparagus pee, and it is really starting to chap my bum.

  • You can't name your baby James.  James is taken already.  You'll just have to think of something else.

    The new Peanut Butter Snickers commercial (with the sharks) made me laugh so hard that I actually went out and bought one.  I haven't tried it just yet, but I will let you guys know if it's any good.  I don't plan on going near the ocean anytime afterward, just in case.

  • Fun fact about asparagus pee:

    Some people have the gene that makes their pee smell funny after they eat asparagus.

    Some people have the gene that gives them the ability to detect funny smelling asparagus pee.

    But that gene is not the same, so there are people out there that can smell others' asparagus pee without necessarily being asparagus pee-ers, and others that are asparagus pee-ers that cannot detect their funky asparagus pee smell.

    The more you know!

    UGH. I did this, too. A friend and I are thinking of getting a place together when my lease with my current roomie runs out in May. I just happened to peak at craigslist last week and found the PERFECT place. Awesome location, great price, etc. Maybe it will still be available in 5 months?

  • Thanks guys. I know it's probably for the best, and he's with my Aunt Eileen now, but it still hurts. It's almost 2 years since my Aunt Eileen died and I'm still grieving over that.

    All this talk of Are We There Yet? has the commercial song for the TV version of the movie in my head. CURSE YOU, CONAN, FOR BEING ON TBS.

  • SB, I think it was because Hairspray was mine, but the rest of the movies were my H's.  He had (at one point) every horrible movie that had ever been released. 

    Cali, I was so excited about the new Snickers and I'm sorry to say, I was disappointed.  For me, there was not enough peanut butter.  There is never enough peanut butter.

  • Are We There Yet is now a TV show, too.  ETA:  Moo beat me to that fun fact, and to mentioning the song.  Are we there yet?  Are we are we there yet?  ::dances::

     

    James is a stupid name,

  • Bob, that is lovely.

    I can't believe they are making Are We There Yet? into a TV show. I weep for what Ice Cube once was.

  • I think that would make a lovely surprise for Tim.
