There was a lot of hot chocolate, though

Jan 03, 2008 18:49

Arghhh. It was 17 F this morning (we finally got up to a high of 40 by late this afternoon), and may I remind you, I live in Alabama. I couldn't let the dogs play outside very long, so they spent most of the day driving me crazy. Thanks for all the get-well wishes for Mom, by the way; she's weak and a little feverish, but she seems a lot better, ( Read more... )

wtf, oscars, books, norovirus, scout, my mother, shelby, house of bark, research, health

The bookstore I work in sells Webkinz - and they are quite literally the bane of my existance. ESPECIALLY around the holidays. My god. It was insanity. I saw a woman body check another woman to get the last collie(maybe?).

either way, this made my day.

HEE! I can believe it. These are kind of the new Cabbage Patch Kids/Beanie Babies/what have you. I gotta warn you--they're discontinuing the raccoon and the monkey, so there's gonna be a run on those (I don't think they've officially announced it yet), and they're going to be adding several new ones--a schnauzer, a Himalayan cat, a pink cat, a kangaroo, and a b/w "cheeky" dog. I also heard something about a duck for Easter, and they'll probably put out something for Valentine's Day again as well. Oh, and the February Pet of the Month will be the cow. Batten the hatches, is what I'm saying.

Oh yeah - I remember the Black Cat saga of this past Halloween (I think?) -the animals themselves I can understand. I bought a husky for my neice because I think they are particularly cute. The pug is a little...off looking, I guess. What really weirds me out are the acessories? Webkinz lipgloss and body spray? Oh dear.

Yeah, those weird me out a little, until you consider that they're probably for eight year olds. I actually got the husky for my sister, and I still wish I had the black cat.

there was a point where I just ate lunch standing up, plate in hand, because it was just easier to deal with them that way

I've done that on far too many occasions...I'm the (very) proud stay-at-home mum to a rowdy two yr old son.

I wish your mum a speedy recovery.

Oh, and yeah...it's cold here too (was around 50F in Sarasota, FL today). I'm not 'that' cold b/c I lived in NE Ohio for all of my life, and this is nothing. LOL

Well, it could be worse. It was 1 degree this morning here in MA. Of course, we're used to it.

Ugh, my sympathies about the dogs. When I dogsat my aunt's poorly trained puppy for a week, I had to lock up everything I owned and never take off my shoes (she likes to eat your feet if you don't pay enough attention to her). I was ready to drop kick the thing by the end of the week.

And spending four years of my life neopets was more than enough. No more cute animals! Except for LOLcats!

Lastly, OMG I FINALLY GET TO SEE THAT CLIP! I've been hearing about it for years and it was the surrealist exhibition I always dreamed it would be! (Lily Tomlin, why did he through a shoe at you?)

Um... in conclusion, totally cousins?
