Pups, Sleep Deprivation, and Memes - Intro Post for Me! Sort of.
oh my god, I have two furry toddlers that are highly motivated, very mobile, and don't wear diapers. *headdesk* The potty training? Yeah. Not going so well at the moment and considering a) one of the little monsters peed the bed (again) last night, b) I've been up since 4:30 because they've been up since 4:30 , and c) the number of messes I've cleaned up in that time - well, it's a damn good thing they're cute at the moment. The goals for today are to hit the potty training hard and keep them AWAKE through the evening so they're too tired to even stir until after dawn.
*yawn*
Holy terrors. This is markedly interfering with the whole sleeping concept as well, and that's less than useful right now. *sigh* Yet they still manage to look at me and cock their heads just so and be forgiven anything. Monsters.

Nap Time! (oh thank god...)
Plus, while I'm actually posting for a change, a couple of memes!
10 Things I'm Grateful For
1. My fiance
2. Bangkok, Shadow, Jack, and River (feline, feline, canine, and canine, respectively)
3. Diagnosis! Woot!
4. Psychotherapy :)
5. Fandoms & LJ which equal fun, entertainment, and lots of reading material... probably some learning experiences, too.
6. The wonders of e-mail and instant messaging that allows me to have very good friends from, quite literally, around the world.
7. Imagination
8. Small notebooks, PDAs, watches with alarms... the things that keep me from forgetting my own name.
9. Coffee and tea (mmmm... coffff-feee)
10. Chocolate. GOOD chocolate. Oh yeah.
10 Things You Might Not Know About Me
Okay, so this one is a repeat and a kind of cop out to an introductory post, but up since 4:30 am, damnit!
1. I can operate a forklift. It's not terribly difficult but not something I should do unless I'm, you know, AWAKE.
2. Narcoleptic, although I think everyone knows this now! Have been for at least 15 years.
3. I love music as much as I love silence.
4. I turn 30 this year and I'm thrilled about it! I figure every year older is another year I win and, like fine wine, I have only improved as a person. It's like levels in a video game. Hearing people whine about getting older occasionally annoys me, but I try to remember not everyone has had a memory like a sieve and aches and pains since they were a teenager. I do try not to call people wusses when they're angsting over the aging process.
5. I read fast. Too fast occasionally - books often leave me unsatisfied. Fanfic and LJ solve this problem by simply being huge with more contributors than I can shake a stick at.
6. I'm a jack of all trades and a master of none. I can do a little of a hell of a lot of things but generally don't have the attention span or patience to learn things in detail.
7. I'm a natural calico (red, blond, brown... my hair is confused so it just tries to be all of them at once), and usually pale as a ghost. Although I haven't had any strangers ask me if I was feeling okay recently. So I suppose that's an improvement.
8. Once upon a time, I was studying museum administration. I love ancient history, archaeology, and art history. I also love physics, whether it's astrophysics or particle physics (I'm a heathen that way). The truly observant may be seeing a few reasons why I was a goner for SG-1 and SGA as soon as I paid attention to them.
9. I'm more a tomboy than not and regularly wear flannel. I also know how to clean and sharpen a chainsaw.
10. I have the memory and attention span of a gnat.
*yawn*
