My mom just hung up on me. WTF?!

Back story: today is Grandparents Day. She called to see if she could come over for a while. I already have my day planned out with necessary shopping, my daughter's nap time, and seeing my dad this afternoon. My dad, by the way, hasn't seen Thera in weeks. My mom sees her every Wednesday and Thursday. So I said I'm ( Read more... )

I kid, I kid!  Out of sight, out of mind is more likely.

Ok, enough self deprecation.

My pregnancy is moving along nicely.  I went to see my OB this week and got to hear Baby's heartbeat.  142 beats per minute.  Sounds crazy fast for someone just lying around, doesn't it?  But at the 11-week ultrasound, it was beating at about 182.  My OB says ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm really spamming your flists today.  Sorry about that.  But there's just one more thing I have to say.

Portraying Obama as a chimpanzee in a political cartoon is not racist!  Want to know why?  Go to Google and type these three words: George Bush chimp.  I did just that, and I got 1,710,000 results.  For those of you who don't like to count ( Read more... )

So I emailed this business yesterday (which shall not be named to protect the stoopid) and asked them to send me shipping instructions and payment forms.  A guy called me back after business hours last night and said, "if you call me back, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have ( Read more... )

The charity bug seems to have hit my husband.  We took in Wally, and now we're apparently taking in an old friend of my dear husband's ( Read more... )

Curse you!!!!!!!!

Sorry.  As you may or may not know, the weather-predicting groundhog said on Saturday we'd have six more weeks of winter.  Today, we have a big snow storm.  Huge, wet snow, making for very bad roads.  I blame it on Phil.  Sure, he looks cute and harmless, but how many times have we heard that?  People said about both Ted Bundy and ( Read more... )

A couple of weeks ago, I received a jury summons in the mail.  I was on my county's grand jury once, but we were never asked to do anything.  So I'm kind of excited about the possibility of serving on a regular jury.  I like taking part in civic duties.  I like voting.  I like to make sure I'm informed on current issues.  I don't even mind filing ( Read more... )

What the heck?  Were you jealous about Monday getting all the attention or something?  Honestly, I expected better from you.  I'm quite disappointed with your behavior thus far.  Flooding my bathroom this morning was extremely rude.  And I'm not even going to go into all the things you did after that.  I will not tolerate this behavior from you.  ( Read more... )

I think it's time we had a talk.  I know you feel neglected, disrespected, and ostracized.  I know most people say you're the worst day of the week, and I don't know anyone who thinks you're the best day.  But have you ever considered the possibility that people dislike you because you're mean to them ( Read more... )

I feel like putting a sign on my desk when I leave work at night that says "DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF".  Every so often, the cleaning crew rearranges my desk, and it really annoys me.  When I came in yesterday morning, my three stacks of paper (which were in three stacks for a reason) were combined into one stack, many of my decorations were moved, my ( Read more... )
