I Really Need to Get a Life
I find it very difficult to stay away from making journal entries when I am home all day. I wish I could work. It is impossible for me to sub when I am this pregnant. When would I have time to go pee? My life revolves around the pee.
Are you all ready to keel over in shock? I have a phone. Not sure what my phone number is, but I do have a phone and it is working and I am sure if I just called my cell phone I could see the number. of course, that would require knowing my cell phone number.
I also have my new quilt! And it is pretty! It totally clashes with my bed skirt because the blues were not as bright as I thought they were and I’m not sure what to do. I could take the quilt back and start my search again or I could buy a new bed skirt. I made the bed skirt. I love the bed skirt. The bed skirt clashed with EVERYTHING. If I got a new bed skirt and used the quilt that I love love love I could probably find curtains for the bedroom because the quilt isn’t nearly so clashy as the bed skirt. Maybe I could sell the bed skirt on e-bay. It was an extremely expensive bed skirt because I used really good material. Actually, I would not sell it on e-bay. I would cut it up and use it for quilting fabric! Duh! What was I thinking. Ok, I will keep the quilt and buy a new bed skirt and get curtains and be almost all set to live like a grown up, if only I didn’t have crap scattered all over my house from here to kingdom come.
Mike was a bad boy and didn’t sign the paper I needed him to sign so I could get the car registered today. That means I get to skip going to the DMV today! This makes me happy. I get to procrastinate and it’s not even my fault. It’s Uber-Responsible Boy’s fault. Things are rarely his fault.
I figured out how to make a phone post on LiveJournal, so if you see a phone post from me on LJ you can assume I am in labor or have just given birth. I do have a babysitter set up for my blog, but I may call in for myself just because I can. Or I might not. Hard to tell what will happen.
Of course, this would require me to write down or memorize the phone number I’m supposed to call. You may have noticed I don’t do well with phone numbers. I’m a word person, not a number person. Actually, a lot of my lack of phone number-knowingness is caused by the simple fact that I never actually dial any numbers. I just hit speed dial. Speed dial is a bad thing.
I have been crampy all day. I feel like I need to go and scrounge up my box of Insteads and take some midol, but I don’t think those things would help. As anxious as I am to see Thumper, I really hope he doesn’t make me miss the season premier of Lost tonight!
Now that I have an actual cover for my bed, does this mean I have to make it on occasion? That’s the joy of a “Swedish sleep system”–you just have two big ol’ duvets on the bed and can straighten them or not as desired. Maybe I don’t need a quilt after all. But it’s PRETTY. Gosh darn it, I like PRETTY.
There’s a man on my balcony. I’m glad I have some clothes on. I hope he didn’t notice that my pansies are all dead. This is supposed to be the last step in the roofing work. I hope so. It is noisy around these here parts.

You. Have. A. Working. PHONE.
I seriously thought the day would never come. Congratulations! Celebrate!

‘Grats on the working phone. I don’t know how you’ve coped so long – I NEED my phone on a daily basis.
Hmmmm, crampy you say? I never had those Braxton Hicks contractions – I just started with the menstrual cramps and everything ramped up from there. Can’t wait to see this new boy (I’m sure you’re of the same sentiment)!

I must admit. The link to the Insteads kept me occupied for quite a while. I have never seen/heard of them.
Just goes to show, you learn something every day.
I’d hope for some excitement for you tomorrow, but I am afraid that would involve a phone call to Verizon and screaming “I hate you” at them and that’s not good.

Oh, I hope dear Thumper comes soon!

I read that as, “I hope he didn’t notice that my panties are all dead,” and laughed and laughed and laughed, then wondered what the HELL you were talking about, and went back and read it again.
I don’t know whether to be disappointed or relieved.
