Let's get it started in here peeps!
This week seems so long and I am exhausted every day - daylight savings time change? Ughhhh!
Re: Hump Day say anythings
The bottom Frodo has been me all week.
Here's my say anything: I'm addicted to the app Draw Something. It's like pictionary but better.
Anyone wanna play? Bowies, PPD, and ESD were playing with me last night, and they can vouch for my mad drawing skillz.
My husband has decided to get vegetarian with me and start working out again. I'm thrilled. I know better than to try to push him in to taking care of himself so I've been patiently waiting to see if he makes the choice on his own. The day has come!
ETA: Just want to clarify, I don't think that eating meat isn't taking care of yourself. I do think that animal protein is a normal part of the human diet. When I said I was waiting for him to start taking care of himself I was referring to exercise. I'm mostly excited about him going veggie because it stops being "my idea" to eat more veggies and starts being "our idea".
How do you play? Computer or phone??
I am dying laughing at that Frodo picture, Interro. Omg I've lost it. Seriously, f[_]ck DST.
My dad's birthday/parents anniversary are in the next two weeks... I don't really want to see my family and I feel HUGELY guilty about it. I was supposed to go see them the weekend before last for my nephew's bday but it was canceled because of my brother's allergic reaction. Then I was supposed to go last weekend instead and I ended up not going anyway because no one was communicating. Balls.
I bought the hot rollers BBE recommended the other day and tried them out this morning. The curls are wonky due to my own ineptitude, but I can tell once I get the hang of it they'll be perfect. This saves me so much time with a damn curling iron.
I'm really judging my brother lately.
My New Years resolution was to judge people less.
You must provide details.
I think just phone, but you can get it for iphone/ipad or for droid.
Maybe this is because my H and I don't drink (OK, he never drinks; I drink maybe twice a year), but I have zero sympathy for anyone who drives drunk, gets a DUI, etc. This article sent me into a rage more than anything I've read recently:
http://gma.yahoo.com/john-goodman-wasnt-drunk-bentley-malfunctioned-defense-says-011739817--abc-news.html
"It's not that I was drunk, even though hours after the crash my BAC was twice the legal limit...it's that my Bentley malfunctioned and made me kill that kid and leave him in a canal to drown and I didn't call 911 until over an hour later."
Boo fwcking hoo. You KILLED a man with your irresponsibility. Fwcking own it.
My Lunch Blog
This makes me sad:
http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/64263045.aspx
There are still occasions where I need to look something up and I have to stop myself from thinking "OMG WHERE IS MY ENCYCLOPEDIA?!"
That's sad.
I admit I would probably never buy a set of encyclopedias, but I still think they should be a staple in any library. Which reminds me of something else but I'm going to start a new thread on it.
I'm restless and bored so I'm PW-ing.
Its so fracking cold in this damn office I feel like that second picture of Frodo.
Battery acid voiced CW makes me want to weep with her mispronunciations and horrific gravelly whine. There are seriously days I want to lay down and cry and flail because hearing her talk is like a million tiny paper cuts on my eyeball covered in lemon juice painful.
That being said, I got a $400 bonus last paycheck because my productivity is so high.
@smock I love Draw Something too! I'm terrible at the drawing part though. I tried to draw Snooki the other day and it was a disaster, although in my defense, I don't yet have the color orange in my palette.
I'm getting ready to do my Fug Madness bracket. Anyone else play?

I found you through FB! I apologize for my drawings in advance.
How do you submit a guess? I'm confused.
ETA - I made a guess, but I don' tknow if it was submitted.
Yay! I'm sure you'll figure them out quickly. I find that using all of the rollers makes my hair Shirley Temple curly, so I usually leave 6 or so in the tray. I actually just used them yesterday
You type it in and if you're correct it says hurrah you did it, if not it makes you keep trying.
I have an ass-ton of hair with lots of layers. I think I used 16 of the 20 and it was just about right. I could probably use all 20 if I wanted to, but I don't think I'd *need* to.
This is seriously going to make my life so much easier when I want to curl my hair before going out, because now I won't have to spend an hour+ with a curling iron and sore arms.
I'm going to Disneyland this weekend.
My period is due to start in the next day or 4 and I just want it to come so I can get it over with. I don't want to have my period in Vegas next week. I plan on using that hotel room to its full advantage and tampons are NOT on the agenda. Hear me, ute?
I wish I had a smart phone so I could play with you bishes. Although Da Vinci I am not. More like his slow-minded 2nd cousin thrice removed.
There's a guy I put firmly into the "let's be friends" category and he's really pushing my limits in terms of flirting, asking me "what his dream meant about us"...it's a huge bummer, because we get along so well, but don't be clingy, dude. I'm not into you that way.
I am meeting LDG for coffee tonight. He's bringing some things I left at his place - like a DVD player and my childhood vhs tapes, etc. I haven't seen him since November. Did I mention the lady he started seeing about 5 weeks after we broke up... is now living with him? As in, she moved from AZ to CA to live with him in his grandmother's guest house?
Word vomit over.
