Re: Tuesday randoms

  • Well, the CL seller accepted my offer.  Sweet. 

    This is what it looks like.  :)

  • Good morning.

    We went furniture shopping last night and determined that all normal size bedroom furniture is too big for our small bedroom.  I think we have to keep our small, old furniture or else our bedroom would become too crowded with furniture.  Disappointing.  Sad

    What type of look are you going for?  Maybe just a upholstered headboard and a simple dresser/night stand set is what you need. 

    I feel your pain though.  We have a VERY small bedroom (a very small house for that matter) and it's hard to find stuff that will fit.

    Well, we don't need a new bed.  We have a metal headboard that I like.

    But we were looking to replace our two small dressers and two night stands.  I was hoping to find taller dressers for more storage space, but they all seem to be much bigger all around. 

    Ah, well.  I do have some sentimental attachment to our current furniture, though, so I guess it's not the end of the world to keep it for awhile longer.  My grandparents bought these dressers for me when I was two-years-old and my soon-to-be born brother took over my baby furniture.  Smile  My grandparents (or my parents, or whoever picked them out) thought ahead though, and the furniture doesn't look childish at all, it's just on the smaller side.  And by now, it's a tad dated. 

  • Hope everyone got to work ok. I think I am getting sick - blah!

  • It's so beautiful outside! I love the big fluffy snowflakes and the way all the trees look covered with perfect snow.

    Me too!  I love fresh snow.

  • A random question for the Randoms:

    Can a AVI file be emailed or does it need to be saved as something else?  (Its a 6 sec stop action film)

    It is pretty.  I wish there was a way we could direct all the snowflakes to the trees and away from the roads.

    You should've seen the snow in Petoskey over the weekend. A lot of it but beautiful.

  • I watched a 3 month old baby overnight last night last night. It was fun, but I'm tired! I love kids, but I'm so not ready for my own 24/7.

    DH was kind of impressed that I knew to swaddle the baby. He kept asking how I knew he wanted to be swaddled and how did I know how to swaddle and stuff.

    He's so cute :)

  • Anyone have any recommendations for medication for runny nose, coughing, and possible sore throat (maybe be from runny nose)? Due to other medications, I cannot take a Nyquil that has alcohol in it.

    Since you have complications with standard cold medicines, you may want to call your doctor's office and ask for their recommendation.

    If you don't want to take anything internally, what about Vick's vapor rub and a humidifier at night?   I had been coughing for close to 6 weeks, and when I started putting some moisture back in the air, I started feeling a lot better.

  • Dear Comcast,

    Thank you for not showing up for our schedule install yesterday. I highly enjoyed sitting in a cold empty office waiting for your tech NOT to show up. I also enjoy seeing my normally cool as a cucumber DH turn in to my abnormally upset DH, which makes me run and hide until he looks like he no longer wants to break something. 

    Sincerely Deeder 

  • I had the GROSSEST lunch today. A microwave Thai thing by a brand I usually like. And now I am hungry again because it did nothing for me. Blerg.

  • Dude, I'm not sure how I'm going to make it another hour and a half.  This day is SO boring.

    I hate it when I have lunches like that.  I kind of feel like that today.  I had vegetable beef soup, and it was fine, but so boring.  I ate some yogurt later, but I'm still starving, mostly because I really want some cheesy pizza.
