    Mindless chatter Thursday

    Moan, groan!  My bladder started to wake me up about 6AM.  Usually I can ignore it for a bit, but today, I kept getting a whif of something really gross.  At first I thought that maybe DH REALLY needed a shower, but then it penetrated that the smell was MUCH worse than he could actually smell.  Yep, someone had a liquid poop in the hallway.  And of course, I stepped in it on the way to the bathroom.  Luckily it was on a runner rug that I just stuck outside for now, but, man, what a way to wake up.  Ain't NO smell like liquid poop!   Poor DH!  Maybe I won't tell him I thought it was HIM stinking up the room.

    Am going to run up to pick up my mail today, storm or no storm, and DS is going to go with me so that he can pick up some supplies from storage to run a phone jack to my friends basement for her computer.  Her not so DH had the high speed shut off so he'll get her set up with dial up for now.

    Did my usual strip in bed last night and could NOT for the life of me find my pants.  Somewhere in the covers are my sweat pants, so ended up grabbing a pair of DH's pj bottoms out of the bathroom for something on my legs so I didn't freeze out here.  These are older pj's so an extra large mans, and I'm NOT, so I look a bit odd hiking the dared things up!  Of course, I put the things ON after pouring cold water over my foot to clean the liquid poop off it.......am not looking forward to the bucket brigade this time around!  But, had to wash my foot SOMEPLACE and I know that the toilet tank isn't frozen so washed it over that.  Man, warmer weather is REALLY looking good about now.

    I really need Spring.  Of course, I really need a real house again too!  The funny thing is, a smallish house is going to seem HUGE after almost a year in this RV!

    Agh Glenda! sounds like an awful morning!  I agree, spring needs to hurry up and get here!!

    I am excited because today I will go try on the wedding dress I LOVE after work, it's just up the street from my work and I'm so excited!! I really hope it looks good, because it is a very decent price and the store (if I order through them) will give me free alterations, which really really helps!  My friend, whom I'm maid of honour for for her wedding this august, spent 1200$ (before taxes) on her dress, and that doesn't include storage or alterations.  tooo much money!  I just hope it looks good!!

    If anyone wants to see a picture, give me your email address and i'll send it to you, BF sometimes reads the forum lol

    On a not so good note, I have a wisdom tooth coming out sideways on the upper left part of my mouth, which rubs against the inside of my mouth creating pain, i have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow and although I'm terrified of having my tooth pulled, i think i'm ready to get it out of my mouth!

    Well.....it could have been worse.  I could have stepped in it with BOTH feet and then would have had to CRAWL the last few steps to the bathroom, and knowing me, probably would have gotten it all over my knees and lower legs too!  LOL!

    • Gold Top Dog

    lol!! oh that would have been awful!  so instead you just had to hop around?

    last night when i came home from work Maddie was sick all up the stairs and a lot at the top of the stairs, her stomach has been off lately and so she has been on chicken and rice the past few days, but was re introduced to a little bit of kibble in her rice.  luckily we have a shampooer vaccuum

    I want to see your dress!

    Its freezing rain here this morning and my sinus headache is still hanging around. Ok that's all my complaining for the day

    Abbie did really well in training last night. Maybe there is hope for her yet. I might try to go to class twice a week with her next session. She mostly just needs the exposure and socialization.

    Did I mention that I paid off 1.5 cc's with my taxes? It feels so liberating!

    The adhd meds are really working. I feel so much calmer and am able to focus at work now. Its amazing

    The lady behind me in line at Panera this morning rushed me - I hate when people do that! Lucky for me, a nice caffeinated beverage makes it better.

    I am going to make a rice bag, I think. Thanks for the help Glenda and Joyce :)

    YAYAYAYAY for Bevo being off Pred!

    I pm'd you the link julie!!  :D

    Ah, I hate when people rush you in line, i feel like swinging around and telling them to back off.  I also hate when people stand too close to me in line

    • Gold Top Dog
    Me too!! I come to this Panera Bread 2-3x a week so I KNOW that standing at the register won't get someone to come any faster. I was just standing in line and she told me, 'go on honey, that register is open'. YEAH, BUT NO ONE IS THERE! They are all busy! That, and I hate when people call me honey. I am not a toddler, please don't talk to me like one.

     I'm doing some much needed gardening, including cleaning up all of Ben's...er...stuff which I can now get to because our snow is melted.  Ben's very annoyed that I won't let him come outside and "help", he saw a cat out there with me (belongs to a neighbour) and now he wants to be out so he can protect me from the evil garden-invading kitties.

    ugh, there was a client that used to call me 'sweetie' i finally told him one day that my name is Lauren, not 'sweetie, sweetheart or darling'

    I literally have meetings from 9:30 this morning until 3:30 this afternoon.  I hate these kinds of days, totally useless. 

    I am so looking forward to this weekend.  Riley is spending the night at my mom's on Saturday and we don't have to pick her up until 10:00 which means I get to sleep in until at least 9:00!  Whoo Hoo!!  I haven't slept that late for months.  I am going to work on painting a wooden step stool DH made for her.  I am so uncrafty so I hope it comes out OK.  I am paiting it white and I think I am going to buy polka dot sickers to put on the stool part and then clear coat it.  Hoepefully that will look nice.

    Had a wonderful (NOT) converstaion with the MIL last night.  She is driving me insane!  For someone that doesn't care enough to see Riley in the past 6-7 months (over a year for my FIL) she has so many opinions on how we are not raising her right - and yes she lives close enough (only about 4 hours away and yes we have asked them to come down and vice versa).  I am so sick and tired of her telling me we are doing something wrong because she isn't talking much yet.  I feel like lying and telling her she talking up a storm just to shut her up.  But with my luck she will want to see her next week and then know I lied.

    I've got a weird pain in my right ear today.  I hope it doesn't get infected.

    It's a beautiful day though, and it's closer to the weekend.  So I'm grateful for that, and I have some OT to leave early tomorrow.

    Glenda, there is nothing quite like the feeling of stepping in something runny in the dark, even worse is the sensation as it squishes up between your toes.  Laughing at your description of trying to find your pants in the bed and trying to keep your DH's pants on. LOL

    Lauren, I'm so happy for you that you found your dress! 

    I had a strange, disturbing dream about Twister last night and it was one of those dreams you can't get out of your mind the next morning.  Oh well, time will fade it away.  I have lots to do today so better get busy.  Have a good day everyone!

    I had a new john installed in my downstairs bathroom on Monday.  Guess what doesn't work on Thursday??   Sigh  . . . . . . .

     woohoo Bevo is off the prednisone!!!!

    Oh Glenda - just yuck!

    I hobbled around the neighborhood today with Bugsy, he really wasn't going to make it another day without performing his 3 mile inspection.  He was super annoying yesterday, I decided the pain of walking was preferable to another day of his antics.  He loves to meet the kids at the bus stops, he has a fan club at every one - very cool.

    DH is in the air however my excitement is dulled by the fact that he sent a preflight email saying he was dying of a cold.  He is AWFUL when he is sick.  Now I am wishing he had stayed a few more days Embarrassed  Terrible I know but I am not up to dealing with his misery. Ah well.

    Picked up a copy of Stanley Coren How to Speak Dog from my library yesterday and am really enjoying it

    sun is out today!!! Cool
