Am I really as neurotic as I feel?

I just broke 11,000 visits (or 11.000 visits for my European friends ).  You voyeurs rock, you know that?

Things I learned this wekeend

• I miss my friends
• The Perfect Ten, a kickass combination of Trivial Pursuit and MasterMind on crack, is, well, kickass...even before the 5th round, which is when you finally figure out how to play the game
• I really want a statue of Anubis in my house when I grow up
• It's okay to go all out with food and drink once in a while...even if it means you're still in pain the next morning, and your stomach isn't quite right two days after the fact
• A really, really cute Australian guy is soooo much fun to listen to...especially if he's selling wine
• It's a ploy to make you buy wine
• It works
• Well, the wine was good anyway
• Who would've thought a mall would have a wine store?
• With a really, really cute Australian guy selling the wine?
• Pride and Prejudice (the 6-hour miniseries) is pretty good, even if the audio wasn't that great
• Or maybe it was because my ears were full...not just my stomach
• Yes, I ate that much
• My nephew still doesn't get that his nana is my mom
• And that just cracks me up
• He's a big show off
• I miss him dearly
• He feels likewise
• I'm a bit anxious about going to my parents' house, whenever that will be, because it will be my first time there (ever) that the bup isn't there
• "Oh, it got on my pants" is absolutely hilarious when said very plainly
• "It's a big country" is a perfectly valid reason for choosing Brazil...in reference to a question about the book "The Mission"
• We don't do this nearly enough

So true...

The measure of a person is how much someone will do for someone else when they have absolutely nothing to gain.

I'm still alive, doing my thing and stuff, just haven't felt like posting anything lately.  I made a birthday cake for my friend T who works at a running store, and he hooked me up with a sweet deal on running shoes...and they fit so well, it's amazing.  My friends loved their wedding cakes...their baby is still all warm and cozy....he's not quite ready to come out, but he's not even due for another 2 weeks or so.  Umm...pants are looser, very nice.  I get to go hang out with the boys for a while this weekend, then hang out with the girls for the rest of the weekend.  The book I'm reading right now really shows that phi is a kickass number.  I transplanted my grandma's plant into a bigger pot...it was looong overdue.  It looks so huge now.  It's the one my friends had delivered to her funeral a year and a half ago.  It's waist high.  I'm paranoid about it dying, especially since I'm not exactly the best at keeping plants alive, but it's still growing so I'm happy about that.  I love how they pronounce the Colbert Report as the "Colber Repore"...so funny.  Tomorrow is Thursday, so it's Office day!  God, I love that show.

Toodles!

From the mouths of babes...

My mom called a little bit ago.  My 4-year-old nephew was walking around with her phone and my SIL's phone clipped to his waistband (he loves cell phones and likes to call people, say hi, then hang up).  He went to dial a number, turned to her, and asked, "What's the number for oven?"

 "Oven?  Who's oven?"

"You know...Oven...where the bup is."

*sniff*

I love that kid.

E and S went off and got married this morning.  Had it planned for a couple of weeks, didn't tell anybody (except their parents and the 2 people who stood for them), got married, went out for breakfast, and went to work.  Those crazy kids!!!

At least I get to make the wedding cake!!

I had a dream last night.  Most of it was very, very weird, but there was a small part that made me smile in my sleep.  I looked out the window to check on Bup...he was snoozing in the sun, he wagged his tail and chased bunnies in his sleep, then he rolled over onto his back and wriggled around a bit.  So I think he's doing pretty good now.

I'm watching Dr. Phil.  It's about cheaters.  The 2nd couple on there...she just found out he was cheating because he got a rash on his hoo hoo dilly.  Now he's all "Oh, I'm so sorry, I want to save my marriage, I hope I can forgive myself."

You know what?  I think that's fucking bullshit.  If you can't respect the person you're with enough that you can't be faithful to him or her, and then not be honext about it (the first lady on wouldn't admit to cheating on her husband until they showed her with the other guy) until the proof is thrown right in your face (like, say, in rash-form), you can just sit and fester and rot and not forgive yourself.  God, I hope she doesn't stay with him.  He doesn't deserve her.



And I really hope I go to Chicago next Saturday.  *crossing fingers*
