I went to get more stamps for E's TY cards. I had Disney (are Cars, Toy Story, etc Disney?? I don't know) ones but was a bunch short. I went to go get stamps this morning. I'm not feeling great and had about 2 min to get to work. I grabbed the stamps and left. Giant Ronald Reagan faces! Seriously? I'm supposed to put Ronald Reagan faces on my TY's. No I'm sorry, I cannot do that. No ginormous Ron-faces. I don't want any president faces.
They couldn't just give me hearts or flags? I mean, if they were normal size I guess it wouldn't matter but for some reason, stamps are super-sized now. I just don't want to be making a political statement with my TY's. Unless they want to put out pro-choice or marriage equality stamps. Then I'd think about it.
Re: Randoms
That's funny. Usually when I get stamps they give me the forever ones, which aren't so bad. And I'll admit that for family here, I put Christmas stamps on E's birthday invites. Whatev.

I just ate a Klondike bar and it was heavenly. This was post Hot Pocket lunch. I need a food intervention.
My appliances are getting delivered Friday. Weeee! I've never been so excited about a damned refrigerator before.
Winged got me addicted to Scramble with Friends. I have dreams about word combinations. I also need a iphone app intervention.

That's hilarious. I though they just gave you the liberty bell if you didn't request a specific design. Can you return them?
I want to buy some art, from one particular artist. Her stuff isn't cheap but it's not like she's some wildly famous artist whose work is flying off the shelves. I emailed her over the weekend and so far have heard nothing. I've reached out to two galleries who have carried her stuff in the past and have heard nothing. Hello? Don't you want my money lady?

my neice had a baby this morning, she has a 3rd degree tear, I think that qualifies as a vaganus.
Riley goes for his 2 biopsies tomorrow morning and I'm very nervous it's going to be something terrible.
My effing co-worker left for vacation without finishing a project, but saying she had it done. So, because it is due tomorrow (which coincidentally is when she's back) I have to effing do all this work for her. It's not that I mind filling in, but this particular project sucks giant donkey balls. Plus, my boss is all pissed at me because it's not done when I wasn't even supposed to do it in the first place.
I told my boss about the Kristen Bell sloth video, she then gave me about 300 facts on sloths, and told me she stands at the zoo cage for hours hoping to get a glimpse of one when she goes there.
our DCP's father passed away last night and it is giving me the sads. Derek works at the hospice where he was staying, and he was having a hard time keeping it together, since this is the first time a patient was connected to someone we are so closely associated with.
other randoms,
there is a group of young (contractors? consultants? i don't know what the hell they are) that have been occupying the conference room adjacent to my desk for the last week or so. they annoy the piss out of me. they seem to come on an occasional basis. they just have their laptops and their daily subway lunches and beepity boopity beeping devices and loud conversations replete with shouted swears (!) and the reasons for their presence remains shrouded in mystery.
i have 60 cents in my pocket and i plan on going to the vending machine later. this is much more noteworthy than it would be for most people, i never have loose change.
There's some talk about rearranging offices and I'm so excited to get a new office and start from scratch.
I'm making up a $700 deposit for work. It a bit ridiculous and normally I wouldn't bother until a few more checks come in, but I want the excuse to walk to the bank since its so damn nice out.
We were better for about three days and now we all have colds. ::grumble:: I'll take it over the ridiculousness of last week though.
I have no idea what to do for Trav for Valentine's Day. He always gets me something sweet, but I don't want to just get him more "stuff" even if its something he'd like. We're trying to declutter, so I don't want to add to that, but I have no idea what to do instead.
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

I was super excited to wear my newest dress today (it was a smidge too tight when I bought it, but now it fits....yay!), but the tights I wanted to wear with it had a big old hole in them. So I had to put on a different light colored pair and now I don't think I look as cute. Harshing on my outfit buzz.
I just realized the 499 tron elevator is available to me now!
If you had to choose between seeing The Descendants and The Artist, which would you see?
Mashed -- I bet he's going to be fine! My dog is a lumpy puppy, so I will have her send Riley lumpy-but-nothing vibezz.

I wouldn't worry about the stamps. I was planning to use flower stamps for my cousin's bridal shower invites, but I ended up just using the regular old flags and Lady Liberties. I doubt anyone but you would notice.
Speaking of my cousin's bridal shower, here's some randoms. I offered to host her a shower as soon as she got engaged, in early fall, and my mom said she would help. They were planning to get married in September, so we had plenty of time. Well, they've changed plans a few times (Vegas came up, and a few other dates). Then two weeks ago, they decide they're getting married at his grandmother's nursing home on V-day.
Which, honestly, I totally understand, and I think it's really sweet. But now just the parents and grandparents are going. I know my family will still want to go to shower for her, so we we're scrambling to get this stuff ready. And now, three weeks out, his mom wants to help us host. And she wants to have a money tree. Made of yarn and paperclips. At a shower.
That is not happening at a party I'm hosting. No effing way.

I sent some christmas cards out with wedding cake stamps on them this year. I'd been saving them, because they were worth more than regular stamps, but I finally decided that was stupid because I was never going to send anyone anything that required 61 cents postage.
Yesterday morning, I got in an argument with my H, and we had to leave for work before we resolved anything. I spent all day being angry with him, and was ready to continue our fight when we got home. Then as soon as he walked in the door last night he apologized, and offered a good compromise. He's a much nicer person than I am.

I only bought 4. B is going to exchange with me from his work stash. There are just some things I can't do and one of those is sending anything with Ron Reagan's face on it. I don't need people at E's school thinking I'm a republican or better, that with my bumper magnets, that I'm very confused.
Pirates often have parrots. Maybe he just took a logically leap forward. Kristen Bell is a weird chick.
Had my year end discussion with my boss this afternoon and got my bonus info. 2011 was a good year
Now I'm clock watching til 5 pm and trying not to fritter away too much time checking out camera goodies.

Id bet its more likely that somewhere (daycare) he saw a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder and thinks the two just go together always.
My random: I'm so effing fed up with connor's daycare. Did you guys know it's ok for them to leave school aged kids alone with no teacher for up to 10 minutes? WTMF? I learned this upon finding children with no teacher when I tried to drop him off the other day (you may remember he gets placed with older or younger age groups until his regular teacher arrives every day because ive reported the pre-k teacher there when I drop him off for jerking him up by the arm twice now and their solution was to segregate him from that teacher).

I made a complaint to their district manager. She backed the alone up to ten minutes as being allowable by state law.
Hi guys, hi. I've been taking care of my momma, she had back surgery last Thursday. She was supposed to stay till tomorrow, but I think she's sick of me feeding her kale so she's leaving today.
Also, and this is huge... Kenzie doesn't have cancer. Like none. Like completely unheard of for a dog to beat cancer. All her scans and blood work came back completely normal. It was enough that the local vet called up the specialist and the specialist said misdiagnosis (which would be FVCKED UP!) but all her initial paperwork and blood work and tests all indicate cancer. It's a mothereffing miracle, for real, yo.
That's pretty much it because, you know, it's kind of hard to top beating cancer.
