I have an impromptu day off today. We've had some heavy rains for the past few days and the town my school is in (about 30 minutes from where I live) is currently flooding and being evacuated. I have no idea what this means for school tomorrow, and I'm worried because the town as a whole is pretty disadvantaged economically (we have a pretty high free/reduced lunch count). I hope my students are ok.
I had a bizarre dream this morning that consisted of me grocery shopping and trying to pick out cereal. That was the whole dream - I couldn't decide what kind of cereal I wanted. There were so many choices! WTF, even my dreams are mundane.
I was really into Christmas and then I started decorating last night. We discovered we have mice in our basement that ate through one of my favorite stockings, I can't find some decorations, and basically I am feeling all bah-humbug now. At least I have the day now to finish decorating, but I'm looking around at the dirt and boxes and feeling like I just want to sleep all day.

Lorne is giving a presentation about his research in one of his classes today and practiced his talk on me last night. Every time I hear him talk about what he does, I'm impressed, awed, and so very proud of him.
Evie is sick. She's been waking up every 45 min. - hour to nurse back to sleep. I "went to bed" at midnight, but didn't get to sleep until well after 2. And then she woke up three times between 2 and 6 when I get up to go to work. I know she's just a sick little baby, but I was incredibly annoyed with her last night.
1. Last night I dreamed that I was walking by a construction site in NY and noticed that Jay-Z was the foreman, so I stopped to talk to him. He told me that Beyonce was pregnant and showed me an ultrasound pic on his phone. He said they were naming the baby (a girl) Halo, after Beyonce's song.
2. I continue to be annoyed with almost everything my aunt posts to me on FB. If I post a status update, she has to comment with something completely off topic.

You are not alone.
I also realized I have been pronouncing Braun (like the razors) wrong. It sounds like brown apparently.
Hmmm. Brown. Well.
Going through another "company's going down the tubes" day again and i can't stop thinking about the fact that i'd have a biotch of a time finding a job while pregnant in this economy and would possibly have to be a SAHM for at least a while and that makes me want to jump out a window.
The commercial pronounces is "Brawn"not "Brown"
That's my niece's name. We pronounce it "Eye-la" too.

Wha? How could you not have a tree? Think of all the poor non-christians who live vicariously through you on this most wonderful time of the year. CHRISTMAS TREE! CHRISTMAS TREE!
My office is doing a Christmas cookie exchange and I have decided that I MUST do iced sugar cookies. I have to do 8 dozen of these, why not just do some simple drop cookies? Because I'm stupid and try too hard, that's why.
I'm going to one of those Lia Sophia jewelery parties tomorrow night for a coworker. I am excited for female bonding and to develop my work relationships, but I went online and looked at the catalogue and holy shiznit that stuff is expensive. There's nothing under 70 bucks I'm pretty sure. I don't even really wear jewelery, and of course I'll feel obligated to support her by buying something. Bah humbug.

Cali, you need a tree.

Hey, I'm still waiting for you all to tell me how to stop flooding, not have boring dreams, and get my Christmas mojo back!

My instructions are for him to emerge between the 17th and the 21st so I can be home by Christmas, eating cookies. If he messes up this plan and causes me pain on Christmas Day, his name will be Buttface.
I had a doctor's appointment today and they stripped my membranes (mmmmmmm BrAiNs!) and it hurt a wicked lot. Then they scheduled my induction date for 12/8 sooooooooooo... Next Wednesday, or bust.
also, also... Someone is sleeeeeeeeping right now. America! FVCK Yeah!
Yay Hezz! Everything's coming up Milhouse!
HT, fess up. Are you naming your kid James because of Harry Potter?

I'm not even kidding. I think the membrane sweeping may have hurt worse than the actual labor. It just didn't last as long.
Hezz, for like 2 days, I've been tempted to post something on your FB wall like "Dear Lauren, You are a selfish beast. I hope when you finally come out no one hugs you and they all watch TV instead, and you won't know what's happening on the show they're watching because you've never seen it before." But I haven't, because I suspect it would offend your family.
Bethie--The choice of James wasn't due to Harry Potter at all. My agreement to Ronald as a middle name is like 80% due to Harry Potter, though.
The one I saw last night said Brown.
