Drive by posting

=1/2A^2 has made a lovely suggestion of posting more randoms on the blog to keep it alive and light for me. I'm hoping to enjoy blogging again and taking the pressure of recapping full life updates off the table here. Life is too nutty to keep full updates going here.

Moving in about a month and a half to 2 months. Don't know where. :) It'll take care of itself.

Izzy's quotes as of late which are ever so amusing to me:

"You love me? Awww, thank you Mommy! You're so nice to me." o_o
"Woooooo Doggy, It's cold out here! Where are my mittens?!?!"




Yesterday morning, she came to wake us up with Dostoyevsky's 'Notes from the Underground' book that she wanted us to start off the day reading. Oh honey, can't we just read an excerpt from The Hunger Games or something more my reading style? ((sigh))



Joaquin needs to curb his screeching when he needs something, else I may fall into that habit and just point to wine glasses in other people's hands and break out into full screeching with my eyes bulging until they give up the goods.

Snow days were not optimal here. It is EXHAUSTING to keep little people fully entertained inside the house and keep the screeching (Joaquin, I'm looking at you!) and duldrums at bay. no mas snow, for favor!

In the most patronizing tone I can muster without the use of comic sans: Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

I'll have a red breathing ... no screeching necessary.

Did I give you that Dostoevsky? Sara and I have plenty more extras of him if she's really interested... I would start off with something a little lighter/more appropriate like "The Raw Youth" though... notes can be a little heavy for toddlers, especially when he describes to the prostitute what he thinks her future will be, and then when the protagonist doesn't accept her, I think the moral ambiguity might be a little jarring.

Gibson, it totally is the one that you gave me! I thought you'd be pleased to know that someone is reading it. She sat in bed next to me (while I pressed the snooze button on her and kept sleeping) and just turned each page, pretended to read but was really looking focused as she 'read' it. She keeps telling us she's a big girl and is really trying to drill that in lately so apparently prostitution and mature topics are *not*, in fact, above her head. ((sigh)) This morning, she brought Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods' to our bed and 'read' it until I was ready to get up.

Rules for a Break Up. They're out there, which actually apply?

Image
So, which rules apply to which situations? I mean, all break ups are different, well, most breakups are different. Ok, some break ups are different. There are different circumstances as to why the couple (or one of the involved) would decide to end their relationship. It could be an amicable end of a relationship (wishful thinking usually) or one where there's a lot of finger pointing and animosity brewing under the surface. I personally, go back and forth between wishing him well in his future endeavours and wishing him and his family a cursed existence. It varies from day to day, heck, even minute to minute. Sometimes, I just need to get a meal in me to regulate my blood sugar and I'm instantly more pleasant in talking about this topic. Let me just say (as if you can stop me, right?) that this blog post was a very fun one to research. It's hilarious what anyone can post on the internet and suddenly, they're a 'source'. heh. Ok, so all that being said. There...

Does blogging work like the government holiday schedule?

Image
Ok, I have no place to say but it seems like all bloggers are already on vacation. Is everyone that blogs really a government employee? I gots nothing showing on my Bloglines for the most part ('cept for Gibson, way to set an example... Oh, and Harms, you're not too much of a slacker either but you've been a busy bee, right?) and it's making me feel like maybe I shouldn't be at work either. Maybe we should all checkout and come back after New Years? It'd be ideal, except I don't work for the government and do have to worry that if there's no work, then there's no pay. No pay = Sad/hungry/cold Clussy. Wanted a change, so I cut the head hairs. I actually walked into Hair Cuttery (I know, I'm brave... or poor, whichever you want to go with), pointed to my hair and said "cut please. make it fun. not scurred to lose some length.". At that point, the overzealous Vietnamese lady went to town. I was good w/it at first but then she kept ...

The following are excerpts from the give blood website I was checking out today (in hopes of getting info to give blood at lunch) " Donating Blood ONLINE APPOINTMENT Schedule an appointment to donate whole blood. - Why the need to specify whole blood? No half blood, no partial blood. Noted. Do not donate if any of the following apply to you: SEXUAL HISTORY * You have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977. - Hmmm, good thing I held off on the Bordello idea... QUESTIONS ABOUT ELIGIBILITY You may need to wait before donating blood if you have any of these conditions: CONDITION Alcohol Consumption No wait unless intoxicated - HA! I love that they felt the need to mention this. Don't come to give blood while drunk. Noted.
