Ramblings, Moods & Nonsense

• Haven't felt like blogging much. Hence the last 7 days with no posts from moi. Just feeling a little disconnected from it all. And feeling a little blah.


• My computer monitor died a few days ago. Luckily, my brother had one he wasn't using. So that saved me from buying a new one. But I still went thru mad withdrawals for the day that I couldn't get on the computer. Just one day. Can you say intervention?


• I'm worried about some of my friends who are having a rough time right now. You know who you are. And you know I love you.


• I'm recovering from a nasty case of poison ivy on my forearms. I know I'm terribly allergic to it. I know I have it in my yard. I trimmed some bushes and I thought I was being careful. I swear that stuff can eat thru my clothes to attack me. I hate it.


• Painting the living and dining rooms took 5 days. So glad I paid someone else to do it. Totally worth it. I'm almost all put back together now. Still have a few pictures to re-hang. When I'm all finished, I'll post some photos. It's spectacular.... if I do say so.


• Can you believe Mariah Car*ey eloped with Nick Can-non after only dating for 6 weeks or something? I read that she didn't even get a pre-nup done. Holy shitakes. That may cost her dearly. Not that I'm saying it won't last. But c'mon... anyone care to take a bet on how long it takes them to get to Splitsville?


• Speaking of celebrities... for all those AI fans out there, I think you'd agree that Jason Castr*o fell apart this week. It was way past his time to go.


• And I like David A's singing talent but am so over his dumb aw shucks smiling all the time. It's on my last nerves. And a little creepy.


• Gas is up to $3.79 a gallon here. It's expected to go over $4 by the summer. Which really sucks seeing how I'm taking 2 road trips in the next few months.


• Griffey's eye seems to be all better. Thank God for that.


• I got my $600 incentive check from the government. I love free money. It went into the adoption fund.


• The china cabinet I special ordered back the first week of January finally got delivered. It's monstrous. I chose it by looking at a picture. I didn't see the actual piece assembled. It's big. Really big. But I love it. Pics later.


• I got tired of having acrylic nails. Tired of the maintenance and trying to find time to go and get them filled. So I took them off. Not sure if I'll last or not without them though. My nails are really soft and damaged after wearing acrylic for the last 6 yrs or so. Feels weird.


• My wonderful next door neighbors put their house up for sale again. I'm sad about that. I know it's selfish to hope that it doesn't sell. But I hope it doesn't sell.


• Mother's Day is this weekend. If I psycho analyze my mood this week, it could partially be contributed to this, I suppose. My third holiday since starting my paperwork to become a mom. Still not there yet.


• It's a rainy, gray day here today. Not helping my mood.


• I'm off work today because I worked last Sunday. That's how the rotation works. You get the following Friday off.


• I'll be spending the day running errands. I have an appointment to get my hair done. Then I have to work 2 hours at the 2nd job. And I'll wrap up the day at my nephew's baseball game. Although right now it looks like it may be rained out.


• Thrilling news. I know. Contain yourselves.
