Irony Should Be My Middle Name Since PIC is all moved in to a gorgeous apartment (right next to me,) I decided I should attempt to clean mine up a bit. Go through stuff. Throw things out, etc, etc. Last night for example, we threw out my dad's old love seat that noone sits on:) We rented a steam cleaner to clean up. My rugs came up really good. Brand spanking new. I love em and oh my goodness were they dirty! How did this happen? I vacuum just about EVERY DAY! Then I decide to rearrange my living room. Yes, I move furniture single handedly. This is what I did on my day off. I'm going though all of DJ's old tapes throwing many of them out. I'm talking tapes that have sat in the exact same box since we moved here 18 months ago. Evidently he doesn't want them anymore:) I'm double checking titles and I come across Godzilla and Son. Sound familiar? This was the exact same tape I went crazy looking for back in July because DJ just had to have it and HE ALREADY OWNED IT! Actually I don't think it was something I bought for him. Either the The Ex bought it for him or The Ex left it here when he moved and I never threw it out. mental note: add The Ex to the Cast Page and/or make post How ironic is this? Now we have two copies of the same tape and I could have saved my money. I wonder how many other Godzilla tapes we have floating around here... Tuesday, November 16, 2004
How Many People Does It Take.... ....to screw in a light bulb? Besides me? One. A set of my kitchen lights went out. I tried really hard the other night to replace the light bulbs myself but I can't pull the light fixture all the way off nor can I stick my hand in there and change it myself. I'm too short, even WITH the step stool I have. For those of you who do not know, I am 4'11. I call Mr. Big (remember him?) the other day to ask to borrow his hand truck for this weekend. I was telling him about my kitchen experience. Guess who's coming over tomorrow night to screw in some light bulbs? Did I mention he's 6'0? Why does he always feel the need to run to my rescue? Why do I always feel the need to let him? Monday, November 15, 2004
TGIM! Never thought you'd see that, would you? It was one of those weekends. I had a list of what I wanted to get accomplished. Suffice to say, I helped PIC move and that's about it. I did get to play Candy Land a few times though. This upcoming weekend is going to be JUST as hectic. I need to get my hands on a van, or something similar. I'm going to my mom's house to clear out everything that belongs to me. I remembered I had a few boxes and things and I thought I'd be able to do it with just my car and PIC's car. Then, on Saturday, I remembered the refrigerator is mine, as is the washing machine. Sorry, Mommy Dearest, what goes around, comes around. I'm taking both of them. Of course, PIC and I, are the only ones moving things. We're Superwomen! I also have to go out and pick up a new winter jacket for DJ. I'm probably going to do that task on Friday night. I have two winter coats for him, one is too small; the other, too big. Murphy's Law. So far I'm open Saturday night but I'll probably fill that with grocery shopping. On Sunday is the Thanksgiving Day parade. I know it's a little early. But some neighborhoods do things ass backwards. Isn't it sad that I'm feeling gleeful about taking out the fridge and washer this Saturday? Friday, November 12, 2004
I Laughed Myself Silly, Now It's Your Turn For those with no children---this is totally hysterical! For those who already have children past this age---this is hilarious. For those who have children this age---this is not funny. For those who have children nearing this age---this is a warning. For those who have not yet had children---this is birth control. The following came from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas: Things I've learned from my children (honest and no kidding): 1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000-sq. ft. house four inches deep. 2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. 3. A 3-year old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. 4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room. 5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way. 6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan. 7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh," it's already too late. (No matter how old the child!) 8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it. 9. A six-year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies. 10. Certain Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old. 11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence. 12. Super glue is forever. 13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. 14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O. 15. VCRs do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do. 16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes. 17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving. 18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is. 19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens. 20. The fire department in Austin, TX, has a 5-minute response time. 21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy. 22. It will, however, make cats dizzy. 23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy. 24. The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade... true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "..And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said...'Holy crap! A talking pig!' The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes. 25. 60% of men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid Jingle Bell Rock THIS! If DJ plays Jingle Bell Rock one more time tonight, Santa is not coming down our chimney. Wait...we don't have a chimney. Speaking of Santa and chimneys, has anyone watched Christmas Eve on Sesame Street? Remember that scene where Grover (was it Grover?) was asking all the kids how does Santa get in the house if there is no chimney. For those of you who have not seen it, this was Big Bird's biggest fear throughout the movie thanks to Oscar the Grouch. DJ started this on me the other day. I told him I'd leave the door unlocked and he could use the front door. Now I'm going to have to remember to lock it Christmas Eve AFTER I unlock it when DJ reminds me. Even Busier Weekend And so it begins... PIC is starting to move her stuff tomorrow, I think. I'm never really sure. I do know I have to be at her apartment at 8 to wait for her couch, her washer and dryer, and the cable guy. She's coming straight back to the apartment around 1ish after her class is finished to finish waiting for the cable guy if he's not there yet. I have no clue when we're moving stuff. I think tomorrow is going to be a LONG day. Tonight I applied for a 2nd a job at Walmart. For those of you who don't know why, go to this entry. I'm a little worried because I have no retail experience whatsoever. I've been doing computer since right out of high school. I'm hoping to get to the mall tomorrow to pick up applications to fill out. If not tomorrow, definitely Sunday. Walmart would be the way to go, though. It's open 24 hours during the holidays. I figure I could work 3rd shift Friday and Saturday, then on Sunday work the 1st or 2nd shift. I'm not picky. Then I'd have time to spend with DJ and do my homework. Who needs to sleep? I'm also not picky about what I do. Well, to some extent. Get your mind out of the gutter! So I checked off every position. I'm teachable. Just pay me!!!!! Don't worry, I'm not desperate enough to put up my paypal link though. Just wait until it gets closer to the holidays:) Thursday, November 11, 2004
Busy Week.... I feel like I should work from home all the time. I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday. Tuesday I left work early because of the stomach flu (my laptop has recovered nicely, thank you.) Wednesday I was scheduled off because I was supposed to have a dentist appointment but I figured the dentist would be a little perturbed if I puked on him, so I rescheduled. Today I am working from home. Why? Well, since Mommy Dearest decided to sue Pops out of house and home (MY house and home, I might add), he needs to go see a lawyer today. Since DJ was off school, I had to work from home or bring him in with me. I chose to stay home:) After I'm finished my work (in approximately 1/2 hour), I'm taking DJ to get his karate uniform. He has karate tonight and it's been a month and he still wants to stick with it. I'm all for it. He doesn't pay attention much during class but the Sensei told me that's ok. They're working with him alot and hopefully this will improve some of his characteristics. I also started DJ yesterday on 1/2 caplet of Super NuThera in the morning. It's a multivitamin with higher doses of B6 and Magnesium. Parent observations have shown that helps with many of the characterists of Autism, such as, anger/frustration and attention. Yesterday I noticed a HUGE improvement in his frustration level. Thought today it was a little "normal". I think Pops contributes a little to his frustrations. I'm keeping a close eye out and hoping it will improve once he leaves for his appointment and work. Some have noticed an increase in hyperactivity, but I haven't noticed that yet. In my blog readings, I stumbled upon Brandon's blog and went directly to his link for anti-Bush t-shirts. I love them:) Problem is, I don't know which one to pick! We all know I can only afford one due to all the taxes Bush hit me with :D Here are some of the more priceless ones:
Honestly, they are all very, very funny, but those are my personal favorites. On to check the balance in my checkbook! United States of Canada
Personally, I'm all for it. Let's secede! We'll still have NY and California. Nine of the original 13 colonies are for it (doesn't that say something?) We'll make history! Wednesday, November 10, 2004
Find Another Profession!!!! What is this world coming to? Not only is abortion controversial, but now birth control is as well. Excerpt from full article: For a year, Julee Lacey stopped in a CVS pharmacy near her home in a Fort Worth suburb to get refills of her birth-control pills. Then one day last March, the pharmacist refused to fill Lacey's prescription because she did not believe in birth control.What's sad is I didn't realize pharmacists could do this. This just amazes me. We women have it rough. First government does not want us to have abortions, now they're ok'ing that pharmacists can refuse to fill birth control pills. What the hell is wrong with these people? It's none of my pharmacist's business what I'm getting filled. It's your job! If you don't like it, you know where you can shove it:) I should try that. I'll tell my boss that I can't create a database because it's against my religious beliefs. That's how asinine this is. I'm speechless. Dear readers, it goes beyond that as well. Take a peep at this article as well. What the heck, I'm in a giving mood. Here's another excerpt: Only four more years of this nonsense?
Are You Feeling Secure? Quote from John Aschoft's resignation letter: "The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved." Are you feeling secure? What a bunch of malarky!
