Hello?
Is this thing on? Is anybody in here?
What say you? Randoms? Weekend plans? What do you got? How many more questions can I ask?
I'll start with randoms.
H and I had a "talk" last night. We are thinking of holding off on the baby numero dos thing for another year. His work has been really unstable lately, so we want to see where we are later. Also, life has been so sweet, we are both scared $hitless to mess that up. I'm a little sad about it, but I'm also very content at the same time.
I was watching IFC last night and enjoying my favorite move from the old days (Heathers). There I sat, drinking a glass of wine, reciting every line, when to my horror, a commercial came on. When the f*ck did IFC sell air time, in the middle of movies, to advertisers. It pissed me off so I turned the channel to RHOBH. How have I not been watching this train wreak all season?
Can't get more random then those two right there. Now go.
Re: Hello?
I have nothing positive to add. I'm tired of Ian being sick and I'm praying that he gets the all-clear to go back to daycare on Monday. I'm swamped at work and was only there two days this week.
F went to the doctor today and has an ear and throat infection. He IM'd me a few minutes ago to tell me just threw up. It probably wasn't a good idea that he was sharing his Chapstick with Ian this week.
I think my dog gave herself a concussion this morning. She turned around and slammed into the doorway. She's so graceful. Even better, about 5 minutes later my H and I were playing around and hit her in the face with the bathroom door (he kept closing the door and I was opening it, and she chose the wrong moment to attempt to join us in the bathroom).
Tomorrow I'm bringing some buffalo chicken mac & cheese to my friend who just had her baby (2 weeks late!). The dining room is getting painted on Sunday. Exciting stuff.

"Rocksisterwives" is awesome.
Sorry to hear your weeks are not going well Kay and Kristen.
Andy is still waking up in the middle of the night (rather than 11-12, he is now making it 3-4). We just immediately bring him to our bed. Aside from his shuffling around, I am starting to enjoy the extra time with. Ah, just another mark in the mommy column of "what I always said I would never do."

The "age when getting married" thread on ML reminded me that I was annoyed about this:
My little (BTW, it took me three attempts to type little. My fingers kept doing litltle) brother is engaged. To a girl I met about two minutes before I found out. That he has been dating since the summer. It was announced in a kind of roundabout way on Christmas Day because my aunt noticed my brother had changed his relationship status on FB.
My brother is 24 and has a 5 year old daughter he never sees or supports. Hasn't finished college. Fiance is 21 and didn't finish HS. They work at a pizza place together. Everyone in my family is just so excited and happy. My aunt was encouraging her to get pregnant right away. Yeah, encourage the 21 year old dropout with no health insurance to get knocked up. Brilliant idea.
I mentioned privately to my dad that I had some concerns, and he actually said, "well, they've been through a lot together this fall." I forsee much tongue biting in my future.
More randoms -- I have the song from the SNL skit they reran last week with Shy Ronnie and Clyde stuck in my head. Boner alert!
I had a dream last night with Betty White in it. I don't remember the exact details, but I do know that we killed two old people who were evil clones trying to take over the lives of the real old people. But then we realized we had made a mistake and had killed the wrong ones. Then I woke up.

11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
We had snow last night which meant a two-hour delay this morning, which was AWESOME. I wish I could go into work at 9:30 every morning.
Bad headache + Tylenol only because you're pregnant = still bad headache. Tylenol does nothing.
I would rate my day an A+ so far. We went in for our adoption interview this morning (things have really changed in the past six years since we adopted our last pet). And we came home with this dude, Mowgli.
I've been hanging out with him most of the day, and he's pretty much non-stop purring. And rubbing his head on me. He's the sweetest little guy!
His hidden talents are falling off the couch repeatedly, and extremely smelly farts.
We let one of our cats in to see him for a minute, and it went as well as can be expected. Hissing but no hits or attacking. I think they'll all be okay after a few days.
The nerve!

That class Lorne had to take that I had to rearrange my work schedule around because the professor ended up scheduling it at noon and not one? The professor moved it to two. All my worrying and rearranging and discussing with my bosses was for naught. But I'm not going to worry about re-rearranging it back. It's just going to stay like this at least for this quarter.
I'm sick. Bad stuff is going on in my stomach. I want to take a nap. I was just about to lay down, and now I hear Evie on the monitor. =/
This is lame: I always get sad and jealous when Fent and Christin hang out. Why can't they live HERE. This goes for a lot of you, BTW. (Yes, I realize how stupid this is).
I have zero weekend plans and that is ok by me. This week at work was so effing busy and I am exhausted.

Pfft, says the girl who has all kinds of people in the area she can hang out with and can drive to most GTGs. :P But yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

I had a dream the other night that my H and I were being stalked by some pyscho and we kept running from them. From an apt or hotel to a house, where we were sitting on a couch in front of windows explaining to this random guy that the girl he was engaged to was a deranged killer. Then I catch a glimpse of her through the window behind us and jump and freak out. She came through the window and I started to shoot at her.
My stalker was Tiffani Amber Thiessen and no I wasn't watching Lifetime movies before bed. How's that for random?
Oh I know, I just like to whine.
SB, your cat is real cute!

See if I ever bring pretzels to your house again, ho!
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.

I want some pretzels and cheese...whine..
I'm really whiny today. I got a Lululemon gift card for Christmas, which I was torn about, because I think it's effing ridiculous to charge 100 bucks for a pair of damn stretchy pants, 60+ bucks for a t-shirt, etc., so I don't really like supporting their insanity. But there is a store close to my work, so I strolled over there at lunch to spend my card, and I left wanting to commit suicide. The dressing room had these spotlights, and just about 360 degree mirrors. Seeing yourself half naked in them, and all you have to try on is sh*t made of lycra. Seriously, do not recommend, close to tears.
So if that didn't kick my asss enough, I had the bright idea tonight that in order to motivate myself to get serious about healthy lifestyle changes, I would look up some celebrities born the same year as me and use their bods as inspiration. If they look that way at my age, I can too!
Yeah, other 1984 babies include the likes of Olivia Wilde and Karolina Kurkova, I left that experiment feeling reeeaal good about myself. So, all in all I'm having a day full of bright ideas and emotionally healthy choices.
