M/C Tuesday

 This day is CRAP!

Started at 8 this morning. I do not get up till 10!!! The school I signed Samantha up at called and said they couldnt take kids out of district. EXCUSE ME!! I have a Buffalo address and phone number. You are the Buffalo school!! She is supposed to go to that school!! So I tried the other elementary school but understandably they can't take Samantha because they are the Hodgenville school and have to take their kids first.

If I have confused anyone I will try to make some since of all this. So LaRue County has 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. There are 3 towns in LaRue County. Buffalo, Magnolia, and Hodgenville. I have a Buffalo address and phone number but apparently Im on the county line to the next county so apparently Samantha is supposed to go to that school.

ONE: That school is 25 miles the other direction. I dont even know where it is and I never go to Green County. LaRue County schools are 10 miles away.

TWO: Their school system is not all that great. Which will not benefit Samantha one bit.

Three: My 2 babysitters are in LaRue County so how in the world is Samantha supposed to get to either sitters while Im at work?!! And all the people that can pick Samantha up if need be are in LaRue County.

I hate this crap.

Has anybody figured out yet what *Lost* was actually about?  I think everyone on the island was dead, but when did  they die?

My best friend & I spent a while yesterday hashing this out, but I think we both generally got the idea.

Here's the scoop; my interpretation:

Life on the island was a reality.  Everything that happened there, did in fact happen.  If someone died on the island, that's when they died.

The flash-sideways stuff this season, that was the "limbo" time the survivors created for themselves, after their deaths.  That stuff was not real.  As Christian told Jack in the church scene, they all created "this place" so they could find each other.  When each person "remembered" the island, that is when they realized they were dead, and they were happy, because they were ready to move on at that point.  Desmond sped up the process for everyone (running Locke over, etc) to get them to move on faster.  Christian told Jack that they all were all dead, but that some had died before him, and some after.  He also said, "There is no 'now' here."  So some of them may have died of old age, but were represented at the church the way they all remembered each other from the island.

So the final scene, when Jack died on the island (with Vincent keeping him company, tears!!), is when he died, but it took him a long, long time to be ready to move on.

Does that help?  LOL, a confusing answer for a confusing show.

I never could get in to lost. And reading your take on what it was all about makes me thankful I never watched it lol! That is too confusing.

Today has been....unexpected. We will see what the rest of today and tomorrow brings.

Busy morning..

I ordered tags for Lindsey and Nina- their name, home again chip number, and gps number..

The lady calls me back.. " GPS number?" .. I said yes- its a GPS chip, and explained used for years, and sold by several companies..

 I guess she didn't know a dog could have a GPS microchip. The dog still needs a regular chip to prove ownership contacts, but GPS is great- especially with sighthounds that can run so far so fast.

today I smell like.... vinegar and cocoa butter. yuck.

I took a vinegar bath last night - and it SO helped, so a huge thank you to whoever suggested that! Although... and not-so-thank-you for the midnight run I had to make to the store for some vinegar chips... 

alright, ladies.

help me out here. anyone know where I could find a pair of pompoms (preferably in pink)? I can't order online... wont be here in time. Any ideas?

Oddly enough, Target has some in their $1 bins right now.  You'd need to buy a few in order to make them big enough, but, shoot, pink is a nice easy color to find in the kids/toys sections anywhere.  Lots of kids like dress-up!

cocoa butter and vinegar does sound gross.  The olive butter stuff doesn't smell as strong (and not nearly as sweet) as the cocoa butter, but the antioxidants in the olive oil is really helping with its anti-inflammatory properties.  Feel better soon!

Julie - good thoughts for Abbie....

Try a party supply store! I won't ask as to their intended purpose... :-p

 oooh - great! I'll check Target! I was thinking party store, that'll be my next stop if I can't find them.

I tried to find the olive oil - but had no luck. BBB didn't have anything, but I did find Palmer's at walmart - much thicker than what I was using before - much better!

Cita - my friend and I are 'cheering' for our friends hockey tournament this weekend - we did it a few years back, and are going all out this time! She's got an airhorn app on her phone too - going to be fabulous (since they don't allow the real things in the rink)

As I type there is a nice guy in my living room making a huge mess with HUGE noise.  He's cutting the stone on my fireplace wall to make room for a new gas insert. 

The noise is horrendous and Baily was in the middle of the room...sleeping!  This is the god that runs from the vacuum.  LOL !

I put some cotton in his ears and sat out there for a while....but finally decided to remove us both from the area.   Goofy dog.

The stone mason was very nice to Baily and actually greeted him before me!

Thanks, Heather!  Actually, that does make sense.  I'd hate to think I've watched a show for six seasons and couldn't figure out the ending.

I didn't get the apartment I wanted, with the cute yard... :( The place went on the market Thursday, I saw it on Friday, I emailed Friday night asking if I could sign the lease Saturday, went back to the place on Saturday and met with the landlord... only to be told the lease documents weren't ready. Since I was leaving town, I asked if he would send them, so I could overnight them back with a check. He said yes. I hadn't heard from him, so I called back, and apparently they're now waiting for someone ELSE to return lease documents..... Freaking JERKS. I understand "first with the money gets it," but when I show up with checkbook in hand and *they're* the ones not ready, you'd think they would extend the courtesy of at least giving me priority. Arrrgh. Now I will probably have to drive the 4 hours back down there to go apartment hunting yet AGAIN, and yet again deal with the 2 out of 3 places that categorically don't allow pets. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Thanks alot! I havent watched but 6 episodes of the last season. Now I have to wait till stupid Hulu puts the rest on their site.

LOL

I figured it would make sense to anyone who's watched the whole series.  I don't know how many times I cried during that episode!  Every time someone "remembered," the last scene with Jack & Vincent...oy.  I watched the Jimmy Kimmel show he did right after the finale, and he & Matthew Fox pretty much verified that what I said above is what happened.

I am kinda interested to know what happened to Richard after he left the island!  I mean, he'd been on that island for, what, 100 years, and now he's off to LA?  Talk about culture shock!

Kimberly, ABC has 9 of the episodes on their website.  Hope I didn't spoil the ending for you (whoops!).

Man, I'm so sorry. If the people are going to be jerks though, better to know now than when you're all moved in. Still, it's a bummer. I hope you can find another place that you like without too much hassle.

MIL just emailed me to say she might drop by DH's BD pecan rolls and is it okay if he's sleeping if she just slips them inside the door. I emailed her right back to remind her that Sassy would probably be inside with DH and would either go nuts or be thrilled to see a plate of rolls by the front door. I hope she got the email before she left.  DH takes the phone off the hook when he gets off his shift but I told her to call him first, so hopefully he's awake by now.
