I had an epiphany this morning. I have been SO lackluster about doing anything around the house and I think I figured out why. I think deep in my subconscience I felt the nicer I made the house look the faster it will sell. We're supposed to move to San Antonio Texas in February and I just don't want to move!! I don't want to lose the house I have ( Read more... )

I hate stupid teenagers with jobs. I hate how they absolutely have no idea what is going on and yet they act like YOU are the one with the problem. I hate how they say their credit card machine isn't working and proceed to swipe your card over and over again. I hate how when you get home you have 7 duplicate charges on your account because in fact ( Read more... )

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged.

1) Dave Matthews has been my absolute favorite singer since 1994!

2) I have some sort of invisible stray cat beacon on every house I have ever lived in.

3) I refuse to talk about death, my own ( Read more... )

So yesterday I was at a Wawa (like a 7-11 w/gas pumps) under suspicion of counterfeiting. I kid you not. I went to a Wawa at the beginning of Delaware and got a $20 back in change that looked a bit wonky. I mention it to the cashier who laughs it off and says "oh it must have been washed a hundred times". So skip ahead an hour and I am visiting ( Read more... )

Being sick sucks. When the old fogies say "If you have your health, you have everything", its really true. And of course the other side of the same coin...if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. I was sick yesterday, sick as a dog, fever, vomiting, chills, and well...other not-pretty things. At first I thought it was food poisoning ( Read more... )

My mother-in-law got here a week ago for a month long stay. Last night she got really upset because no one in New Jersey would pick up the phone. She called everyone she could think of, she was worried about her husband. Big Karl, my FIL, has never been in the best of health so she had a right to be worried. But we never would have dreamed the ( Read more... )

Doctors. I hate them too.
So my test results came back. The endocrinologist thought I had an insulin problem which was causing my infertility and weight issues. She sent me for a 3 hour glucose test (imagine drinking fruit punch concentrate that someone forgot to add water to, and then getting your blood drawn 5 times over the course of 3 hours...oh ( Read more... )

I don't think I will ever understand the allure of a big cardboard box to kids. I know that makes me an unimaginative old frump, but the thousands of dollars in toys that fill this house couldn't keep her as occupied as a stupid cardboard box. Two hours she has been working on this box, using a butter knife and a box of markers, and I've hardly ( Read more... )

I've got the the blues. Not the real blues, I'm way too medicated for that. Just the kind that makes you want to sing a little. I have a rip roaring migraine, and though it is also medicated I can still feel it "lurking underneath". Why am I on here? I probably shouldn't be, the computer always makes my migraine worse but I don't want to clean ( Read more... )

Why is it when you don't have time to sleep, its the most luxurious thing in the world. At 5am on a weekend, when sleeping is not only allowed but thoroughly encouraged, my eyes are wide open. Laying awake in bed at 5am on a Sunday is torturous. If I were alone it would be one thing, I could read, pet a cat, watch a movie but trying to be quiet and ( Read more... )
