Queen of Rambles

I have copious amounts of snot pouring out my nose. Snot somehow makes me stupid. Stupidity leads to a house covered in little bits of styrofoam. This weekend we went to Ikea and couldn’t find a damned thing. I came home, hopped on the computer, did a search for “free shipping [items I want]” and [...]

I sort of almost had a heart attack today. Not really, but it felt like it. We went on a St. Patty’s Family Fun Walk, which turned into a nightmare sprint up a muddy hill, dodging wee babies in strollers and their oblivious mothers. All my elliptical training didn’t give me the endurance I needed [...]

My computer is about to die. I guess it will be good for me. I’ll have to go out and live life, or some such nonsense. Mike and I will have to fight over the desktop. At least it is in the basement with all of Erik’s toys. My tooth stopped hurting for about five [...]

Oh three and a half, how I loathe you. I love the boy, don’t get me wrong, but three and a half is every bit as bad as the books claim. I thought Erik would sort of skip that step since he is my perfect little snowflake, but no. Klutzy? Check. Moody? Check. Doesn’t want [...]

I talked to a real, live insurance guy today. Amazing! I started sending e-mails last week and finally graduated to real calls. You’d think with the economy being in the shitter and everyone begging for jobs, someone would want to take my money. I didn’t even mention our Allstate situation in the e-mails, yet no [...]

I’ve finally found something that I don’t think I want to share with the whole wide world web. Amazing. I share (almost) everything with whoever happens to be reading this site, but the very idea of posting a public fertility chart sends my head spinning. My friend is very into the fertility game and has [...]

I’ve been so busy doing the five things meme that I haven’t had time to tell you all my woes. My woes haven’t changed much in the past week. We still don’t have full access to cable, though we do have an order confirmation number and a tech’s personal cell phone number. Maybe she really [...]

How many people have posted a “facebook is weird” post lately? Just about everyone I know. Guess what? Facebook is weird. Worlds collide! Blog readers suddenly have access to pictures of fourth grade Carrie, which brings back memories of being hit over the head by a murderer. Things need to be explained. Did that make [...]

I’m told that iron red dirt is really hard to get out of clothes. If that’s true, Erik ruined three pairs of jeans today. It was gorgeous out today so our little Friday playgroup (not preschool, a different regular group) decided to take a hike. Hiking and I don’t mix, but if it is friendly [...]

Apologies to my feed readers. I thought this post was lost due to a computer meltdown, but apparently LJ posted it even though the computer was frozen. I’ll delete the entry I wrote to replace it, but feed readers will see two entries. Oh yeah. . . you bloggers out there realize that when you [...]
