    L said "oh ***" and "bitches" this afternoon, in about a 5 minute span. And she used them both correctly. 

    I'm so divorced. Or punched in the face.

    LOL  

    Cooper quoted me yesterday.  Thankfully he knows what a bad word is.  His teacher thought it would be funny to teach him "Go Horns" so we said to tell her it was a bad word.  Now if one of us gets caught saying a bad word, Cooper will say "that's bad word - like go horns.  Mommy can't say bad words."

    L doesn't understand "bad word" yet... but maybe it's a concept that's close. I nearly choked trying not to laugh when she said, "It's cold outside bitches!"

    And then I was totally ashamed.

    I would have had to leave the room.

     

  • i'm in my friendswood office.  the office next to me is a masseuse.

    for the last 2 hours, i have been hearing the pan flute music through the wall.  i'm about to crank up some metallica in here.

    ok, not really, but i'm tired of panflute!

  • I think I want to cut my hair.  Nothing drastic, but I need a pick-me-up.

    I can assure you it's not nearly as fun as it sounds.  Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, I have to because I sure don't get paid well, but the reality of historic research is that it's mostly tedious. Big Smile

  • THANK YOU GOD!  THERE IS NO CANCER IN MY MOM'S BRAIN.

     spine, yes, still... but i was really afraid to hear that it might have spread to her brain.  they are now attacking her nausea from a few different angles so that maybe she can eat happily again.  step 1, combat dehydration.  she is in this evening for 2 liters of fluid via IV.

    Such good news! I hope the nausea wanes soon.

  • well crap.  they're keeping her overnight and medicating her heavily for back pain (effing cancer in the spine).

  • Great news Jax, but still many t&p for her.

    Has anyone heard about any premieres for Hunger Games next month? Like the Amex Twilight screening or the Rayskit HP7 thing. I cannot wait to see this movie!

    I hope the pain has subsided enough for her to go home.  :( I'm so glad to hear the cancer hasn't spread. 

    Big hugs to you, Jax.  Take care of yourself!

  • Suddenly, I am SO ready to move back to Houston.  We've always been up in the air over whether to return after DH's project is complete, or to try to get him on another project instead (either here in Singapore or in another country).  We started talking about some other options the other day, which would result in us moving back, and I got so utterly excited about the prospect. It's been a fun adventure, but I really am ready to come home. We do still have at least 1 1/2 years here though, so it won't be anytime soon; but still. At least it's more concrete.

    I'm so sorry.  But it is great that it hasn't spread to her brain.  I am really, really hating cancer right now.

  • I have a FB friend who is a constant Obama basher.  I feel so-so about the guy, but it gets quite amusing to see the lengths to which she'll go to slam the guy. Today, she posted a link to a commercial on youtube for Chantix, claiming that they were using subliminal messaging in their advertising to help get Obama re-elected.  She insisted that the narrator says, "(Obama support) Chantix has been proven to help smokers quit..." I found great pleasure in letting her know that it said, "Along with support."

    I'm still chuckling.

    I bet she'll say you only think it says "along with support" and it's really about obama. that is a really deep paranoia for her. $10 says she heard it from someone and soon it will be all over the internet how chantix is pro obama. we'll be reading it on snopes soon.

    At first she laughed and said, "Are you sure?  It sounds like "Obama support." So I told her to google "Chantix along with support" so she could see that they regularly use that phrase in their marketing.  She acknowledged her mistake, begrudgingly.  :) She's funny.

  • My old jeans fit again! Granted, they used to be my "fat pants" and I have a looooooong way to go before I can get back into my pre-DS clothes, but it's a start. I'm on a diet and I'm craving carbs like crazy right now. DH is eating pizza and it smells amazing. So I locked the bedroom door and I'm soaking in the tub with a bath bomb from my secret Santa gift (thanks again, Harmony!)

  • AT&T sucks so bad.....sooooooo bad. I want to throat punch someone over there with the heat of a million suns. It has been 3 weeks and we still don't have Internet and tv in our new house and now we don't have telephone either. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
  • On a complete ADD tangent, did y'all hear they're remaking The Princess Bride? Paul Rudd is playing the part of Wesley.

    From what I understand, that was reported mistakenly.  They're not remaking it.  They just did a public table-reading of it back in December with Paul Rudd, Mindy Kaling and some others reading the parts.

  • I went to a naturalization ceremony today. It was interesting and melted my heart to see all the people that have taken the steps to become an American citizen. 1,800 of them.

    Also it made me so proud of my friend. She moved to Colorado the middle of freshmen year of High School from Venezuela. She didn't know english and had only warm weather clothes as her mother spent all her earnings for herself and two children to come to America. Since then My friend has learned english, you would never know it was her second language. She graduated from college while working three jobs and almost two years ago she was accepted into the Teach for America program. This coming summer she will have attained her maters degree. All of that while studying for her citizenship. If that is not the American dream I do not know what is.  

    It kind of makes me feel like a slacker, ha!
