All we need is a little patience
I'm tired, hungry and I need to pee, but I'm stuck waiting by the phone for my mother to return my call. See, I called when my mom wasn't available and I told my dad I'd call back in fifteen minutes. But that was three hours before I remembered to call. And when I did call, they were just sitting down to dinner. And then they had another incoming ( Read more... ) -
Random bitchery (because what else is the internet for?)
Someone stuck a very stupid note on the coffee vending machine downstairs. It read: "This is not a change machine. It is unfair to the coffee customers." It made me roll my eyes and snort a little. There are three reasons why this note is stupid ( Read more... ) -
Burnt out a bit
So, I've been watching the Olympics every single stinking day. And as a result, I haven't gotten to bed before midnight in nearly two weeks. (Except for last Wednesday- after driving 250 miles to my parents' house, and in anticipation of a 3:00 AM alarm, we all opted to save any recordings for the next day.) Last night, I was up until 12:30 AM. It' ( Read more... ) -
Weird realization recently
So, I can't help but notice a big kerfuffle about a particular book recently released. I was trying to figure out if I should read the Twilight series to be in the know, pop culturally speaking. I'd say my Friends list is split about 50/50 between enjoying the books and enjoying mocking the books, so surely I'd find a group to align myself with. ( Read more... ) -
Yeah, so maybe not so much.
So, there my family was- at the hospital at 5:00 AM. We'd woken up at 3:00 AM, so we were a little wacky, especially those of us who'd driven 200+ miles to be there. My sister-in-law had a bout of hysterical laughter in the shower because the water pressure was too strong and the handheld unit kept popping off the hook and spraying water everywhere ( Read more... ) -
Mom update
My mom just called me (left a message at 2:03, actually). Surgery is a go! But not "a-go-go" because that would be weird. Unfortunately, she has to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning! Since the hospital is about an hour from my parents' house, we've got to wake up and start getting ready at 3:00 AM. After a four hour drive. Yeah. Guess who's ( Read more... ) -
Mom
Yesterday, my mother got news that her surgery may be postponed. One of her pre-surgery tests came back with contaminants. She had to go for another test yesterday to confirm the results and won't get the results of that test until 2:00 today. Her surgery is supposed to be tomorrow! She's supposed to call at 2:00 today to find out what time her ( Read more... ) -
Best lunch in months
So, at lunch I went across the road to the new Ulta store and bought some stuff- eye shadow, brow gel, powder. Just things I needed. I tried on some perfume and explored the store a bit. It's very nice. Afterward, I went next door and got some Vitamin E capsules at GNC, then progressed next door to that and got lunch from Panera ( Read more... ) -
Last days of the reading program
So, the summer reading program at my library officially ends tomorrow at 9:00 PM. I'm pleased to say that I made it all the way to the end. I'm in the 2000s. I have two movies that I need to watch, but I'm putting them on entry forms because I intend to watch them by the official end of the program.
( So here, finally, is the complete list of stuff I read, watched or listened to: )
