(no subject)
so i haven't made an update in ages, yes? so here's a list of condensed happenings:
Christmas-
- in short, i didn't get what i wanted. it makes me sound greedy or whatever, but it's the idea behind it. i must have showed my mother four calenders i liked. the calender i open has something cheesy, like baby animals or something. then i asked for books. we get a catolog of cheap books, and i noted dozens of picks. christmas morning i watched as other people opened my books. it was just depressing.
- i did get this sweet cordless phone (you know, a house phone). it's a set of two actually, which is overkill in my small apartment, so i've put one phone away.
- the kids acted ungreatful and unappreciative at first, but in the end they were little gentlmen. they had four distinct gift opportunities and came away with a rather large booty of treasure.
- my grandfather is a very grumpy old man who hates children. however, the rest of my realitives were, dare i say, decent. and some were cool. i didn't know my cousin was pregnant (let alone due next month), my little baby cousin is 17 and wanted me to bum ciggs for her, my cousin's kid is a teenage emo boy (lol). all diffrent cousins, by the way. i have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
That's Gall, Folks!!
- so my gallbladder still isn't out, but is scheduled to in a couple weeks. meanwhile i have supposedly a UTI. i say supposedly because i have no symptoms at all. it took me two weeks to get pills because of various reschedulings, additional tests, faxes not faxing, and national shortages. i really need to get a new doctor.
- i'm losing some of myself. no, i mean, my pants are way too big now. i bought a new pair four sizes smaller than my previously purchased pair. amazing what happens when long undiagnosed weight gain is recognized!
New Year's:
- i've made a resolution. this contradicts what i believe in, which is not to make them (i try to be my best every day). this resolution is to stop giving psychiatric advice to my parents. they will not listen, it frustrates me, and this is sort of a passive-aggressive way to say fuck it, i'm through trying.
- we spent the evening at my parent's. i let the kids stay up until miidnight. Hunter passed out around ten-thirty but Alecx stayed up until we both went to bed. we watched the ball drop on TV. a big dammit for Dick Clark for beating my death pool for yet another year. he sounded like shit, but by god he was there, with a tan no less!
Other Shit:
- i wore fake glue-on nails for six weeks, and now i seriously need to grow them out.
- the kids aren't doing so well in school (they know it all and don't feel the need to prove it ;) ) so i've implemented a sticker chart. a $5 bill is taped to the wall above it, a bride for whomever gets the most stickers at the end of... well, when we run out of room on the chart. which i estimate to take two plus weeks.
- i think Kitty is pregnant.
- speaking of pregnant cats, there was a random one sleeping in my back hallway this afternoon. she was huddled on the pile of dirty blankets there. i removed her back down the stairs and onto the back porch. she was very pregnant and i hope she has a real home :(
- i'm going to change my profile page, and start making more frequent, but shorter, twit-like posts.
