Soooo....

[FEJ]

What are you doing right now?

[wendybeth]

Posting.

Actually, just finished dinner, and avoiding cleaning the kitchen.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Swanking off.

[Not Afraid]

Thinking about dinner, recovering from bleach sniffing and eating peanutbutter pretzles while folding laundry, cleaning the bedroom and reading 3 different boards.

[Baileykat]

It's commercial on West Wing..so of course I'm checking the boards!

[MerryPrankster]

Trying to warm up my frozen feet! I ran around today with shoes and no socks. The sun was shining, but it was like really chilly outside, man. My dogs are like popsicles and I don't dig it!

[UvaGirl]

Swanking off.

Bwahahah:D

Me? I'm (not) working.

[dsnylndmom]

Reading three different boards, trying to stay awake and now thinking of peanut butter pretzels, thanks NA.

Hey at least I'm lost in the lusting over my Coach Bag(on sale :eek: )anymore

[MickeyD]

Working. Multi-tasking. Reviewing a talk I have to give this weekend. Overseeing a class. Drinking coffee. Posting.

EDIT: I'd probably be writing a paper too, but I accidentally left my bag with my reading & assignment at home today. Probably subconsciously on purpose, since today has been the busy day from hell.

[~MS~]

multi tasking....reading several boards, hanging out in a chat room with some other moms, on yahoo with a couple people.. my usual evening routine.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Stealing a moment at work to check the boards...shhhhhh

[dsnylndmom]

Stealing a moment at work to check the boards...shhhhhh

It's taking all my self control not to yell "oooohhh CP's postin' at work" :D yeah I'm a dork, at least I admit it.

[mamabot]

Trying to get the kids ready for bed. So there is a general theme of chaos surrounding me at the moment.

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm digesting my dinner.

[SacTown Chronic]

Watching The Daily Show.

[wendybeth]

Watching The Daily Show.

Haven't seen that in a while. Is Jon still cute?

[SacTown Chronic]

Not really. Was he ever?

[Stan4dSteph]

Going to bed.

[Kim]

Watching Lost. Can't believe they did what they just did. Just got home from baseball signups and going through all of the apps to see what we are going to do about teams. Checking the boards. I'm multitasking. :D

[wendybeth]

Not really. Was he ever?


(Finger poised to strike the neg mojo tab....Damn! Can't do it- he's too nice! Must try to reason with him...)

Yes.
:D

[FEJ]

Learning Perl, playing in Illustrator.
Watching Mythbusters

[belleh5]

Searching the web for a new job.

[Scrooge McSam]

Eating breakfast (granola and coffee) while checking out last night's happenings in LoT.

[blueerica]

Getting ready for work. YUCK!!!

[Baileykat]

Enjoying my coffee, catching up on the LoT..thinking I need to go get the Wonder Kids out of bed...remembering that Kat didn't have a shower last night before bed...so she'll have to do it this morning...ugh!

[MerryPrankster]

Enjoying my coffee, catching up on the LoT..thinking I need to go get the Wonder Kids out of bed...remembering that Kat didn't have a shower last night before bed...so she'll have to do it this morning...ugh!

Thinking that it is the 13th -- Baillykat's B-day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Baileykat!! :D

Waking up, checking out the day outside, it's cold and smells like skunk. I have to get my garbage cans out by the curb, collection day.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Attempting to get conscious before work.

[libraryvixen]

Getting B ready for school.

Need to make her lunch.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Suppressing any guilt I have that I'm not doing my work.

[libraryvixen]

Suppressing any guilt I have that I'm not doing my work.

This is my future... I work 1-8 today.
CP, I wish on you NO drunk folks in the library today (because that was my yesterday!)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Restoring a few gigs of data from tape over fibre channel, then verifying the data integrity.

[Disguy]

Drinking very bitter coffee and reading posts on this swanky place :cool:

[Claire]

Reading and posting on too many boards instead of making phone calls for Chloe's preschool auction. Procrastination, basically. I'm also drinking black chai tea (black teeth tea) and not feeling a buzz because I'm only on my third cup and I need at least 2 more to wake up.....at 11 am.

And IMing. :D

[MerryPrankster]

This is my future... I work 1-8 today.
CP, I wish on you NO drunk folks in the library today (because that was my yesterday!)

Tell your friends to quit visiting you at work! :D

I'm going to make some hot cocoa with mini marshmallows on top. Like Tina said in another thread, it's really cold today!

[Claire]

I'm going to make some hot cocoa with mini marshmallows on top. Like Tina said in another thread, it's really cold today!

Mmmmm, Chloe and I made some this morning....we put marshmallow creme and cinnamon on mine and marshmallows and cake sprinkes on hers. I love hot chocolate.

It's so freaking cold today. :(

[libraryvixen]

Tell your friends to quit visiting you at work! :D


How did you know?!?!? :eek:

[Ghoulish Delight]

Demonstrating restraint.

[Baileykat]

I'm doing NOTHING! Zip..zada..zilch!

(well actually I'm posting here..but that's beside the point)

I'm thinking of taking a bubble bath, then doing my nails, then perhaps having Starbucks for lunch...but who knows...

[Not Afraid]

Reading stuff I both do and do not want to read.
Drinking coffee
Making my to do list

[UvaGirl]

Eating a cinnamon rasin bagel (breakfast) & thinking about work...

[Ghoulish Delight]

Finishing lunch (Trader Joe's Fiesta Chicken and Vegetable salad), and relaxing.

[Prudence]

Avoiding work.

[UvaGirl]

Just finished booking a cottage to stay in over Wellington Anniversary Weekend.

Grrrrrrrr.Can't. Post. Link.

Technically. Challenged. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.:mad:

[SusieP.]

Pretending to work on the computer. Thinking about what I have to turn in at class tonight.

[MickeyD]

I'm assembling nametags. Of course, I'd probably be done assembling nametags if I was just assembling them, not assembling them and posting/lurking at the same time, but whatever.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Continuing to laugh about MickeyD's jeans.

[UvaGirl]

Eating lunch (paella):)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Being incredibly jealous of UvaGirl's paella.

[UvaGirl]

Being incredibly jealous of UvaGirl's paella.

Yeah, that paella doesn't know it's made, being eaten by me...:D

Pssst...it's good, too:D

[Not Afraid]

Worrying about a friend's dog.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Coughing.

Since before Christmas.

Mayhaps I have romantic consumption.

Perhaps I should get me to a doctor.

[Kels]

Yawning uncontrollably. This has been the longest.afternoon.ever! Where for art thou 4:30?

[MerryPrankster]

Losing things on eBay because I am overly consumed with the LoT. Damn, I guess NA's virtual shopping thread is helping me to save money. :)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Losing things on eBay because I am overly consumed with the LoT. Damn, I guess NA's virtual shopping thread is helping me to save money. :)Don't worry, you've got about 5 and a half hours left to lay claim to this (http://www.xenarchy.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=151).

Meanwhile, I'm waiting for an OS image to ghost, then I'll be configuring Netbackup to run some recurring backups overnight.

[UvaGirl]

I'm now counting the minutes until my massage...:D

[SacTown Chronic]

Playing Texas Hold 'Em online.

[Gemini Cricket]

For the last hour, I was watching Oprah and then checking LoT during the commercials.
Have you ever noticed that she has 500 commercial breaks during the last half hour?
:D

[Prudence]

I just finished being the designated victim in civil procedure. There is no deeper circle of hell. An hour of grilling on "Teamsters Local N. 391 v. Terry." Based on the number of "ums" uttered, you'd never know I did well on the exam. I want to crawl into a corner and die. Or eat lots of chocolate.
I'm currently pretending I'm invisible.

[~MS~]

Just finished dinner/dishes, time to catch up on all the message boards before the Thursday line up starts.

[Mousey Girl]

I am playing with avatars and having a pity party.

[Tref]

Eating a bowl of cereal for dinner -- shredded wheat. Waiting for the kettle to boil. The good life.


... and the kettle is whistling. Ahh, how I do love that sound. I even love it when, early in the morning, I hear that beloved call to water coming from other apartments. Someone, somewhere is making themselves some coffee. 0r, perhaps its tea? I would like to think its gonna be some instant oatmeal, but then I'm a romantic.

[blueerica]

Trying to figure out what to eat for dinner, and hoping her friend Kevin gets off the plane soon. Yeah.

[UvaGirl]

Getting ready to go to the gym (Pump class tonight)

[wendybeth]

Just got home from work a bit ago, and am still trying to warm up. My fingers are so cold I can hardly type. The Girl just came in and excitedly said "Mom! It's gonna be 5 degrees naked tonight!" I assume she meant negative.

[Not Afraid]

I'm eating haystacks, catching up and having 4 too many one line conversations at once. I'm so busy I can't seem to put socks on my freezing feet!

[belleh5]

I am waiting for my bf to call me. His show should be over by now. :rolleyes:

[dsnylndmom]

Posting and IMing.
It's an addiction
A monkey on my back
Can't stop Clowns Will Eat Me

[Ghoulish Delight]

Recovring from watching a terrible movie, and slogging through DNS details.

[belleh5]

right now I'm shopping at Sephora.com

Thanks to dsnylndmom ;)

[MerryPrankster]

OMG...I'm watching a story on Primetime Live. It's one of those scary stories about germs that they find from samples taken from any given place. They are focusing on gyms tonight. They just described a deadly germ found on a medicine ball at a swanky gym in NYC. They said swanky -- yikes! Deadly germs in a swanky gym. What will we do?

Frightening story! :eek: It's beyond me why people don't wash their hands after they use the bathroom???? Very un-swanky....

[dsnylndmom]

right now I'm shopping at Sephora.com

Thanks to dsnylndmom ;)
Glad to have been of service!!

Sephora Sales are THE BEST!

[€uroMeinke]

Wondering when I will ever get some sleep

[MickeyD]

Shopping online for new jeans.

[Not Afraid]

Wondering when I will ever get some sleep


Ummmm, NOW. God to BED! Zombies are NOT swanky!

[MerryPrankster]

Shopping online for new jeans.

I found some cute styles at gap.com yesterday. $39.99 on sale. :)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Noticing the time!

Admiring a certain groovy bree's handywork with those previously unswank buttons. Some of them seem to have lost their white aura of forboding (hint hint).

[€uroMeinke]

Ummmm, NOW. God to BED! Zombies are NOT swanky!

Oh I don't know about that:

http://www.shag.com/AtoZ/z.jpg

[MerryPrankster]

I could definitely be a member of the Swanky Zombie Clique. :D

Ummmm....let's see, today. Just finished eating my oatmeal with blueberries and soymilk. 9:17 am already? Sheesh! Need to get in the shower then put together a swanky outfit for the day. :cool:

[Stan4dSteph]

Contemplating what to have for lunch.

[wendybeth]

I'm feeling a bit zombie-ish this morning as well. Worked an 11 hour day yesterday, and now I'm getting a cold. Luckily, my shop called to say my first appointment had to cancel, so I get extra p.j. time. It's a blistering 7 degrees outside, so I'm thinking of breaking out the shorts.:rolleyes:

[Cadaverous Pallor]

On a tea caffeine high. Can't wait to get home and tackle laundry, the messy kitchen, and the dead ants, as well as packing for a trip to Seattle, plus perhaps more photoshop service for swank's sake.

I'm also wishing I could be on a caffeine high everyday, but it totally screws with my system. I guess I'll be less productive most days. Sigh.

[Baileykat]

Just got back from walking 4 miles in Sabino Canyon National Park..it's so beautiful there! Makes you forget you live in the desert!

Re-Fluffing the load of laundry in the dryer (I think this is like the 4th time! :rolleyes: )
Then I'm gonna think about lunch and clean my 8 year old teenager's room! :(

[Gn2Dlnd]

Finally reading this thread. Looking at my bed over there, with my covers turned down, my electric blanket turned up to 5. Cursing my Obsessive Computer Disorder that keeps me so very far away from electric blanketland.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Suffering from insommnia. :mad: :mad: :mad: Have to be awake in 4.5 hours for a full day's work. :mad: :mad: :mad: Too late to take sleeping pills. :mad: :mad: :mad: Fvck, I am so screwed.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I know the feeling. I have a job interview tomorrow and I just can't seem to sleep. Instead, I've been pouring over the company's website all night, trying to learn little tidbits about them and appear knowledgeable.

I'm going to go try but I can tell I'm going to just lay there. Not tired in the least. :(

[blueerica]

Waking up far too early for my own tastes.

[Scrooge McSam]

... wondering why the 3 days I've just had off seem shorter than this one 9 hour day I've got ahead of me.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Drinking tea after my three hour sleep. I swear, I started hallucinating bugs on my face at one point. :eek:

Wondering if I'll sneak in a 45 min nap on my break between jobs.

[MerryPrankster]

I'm thinking about how I need to be super productive today. I don't drink them very often, but this might be the day for a double latte. I need a good dose of some "get up and go!!". :eek:

[Ghoulish Delight]

Kicking myself for thinking it's Monday, not Tuesday, and therefore skipping breakfast expecting the usual monday donuts at the office. Looking forward to department lunch to welcome new employee that will make up for missing breakfast.

[Baileykat]

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with Elaine and the cakes!


I'm basically doing nothing when I need to be doing something ...like laundry or cleaning house. :rolleyes:

[Tref]

... just started eating breakfast (cheese & onion bagel, toasted w/ butter. A bowl of oatmeal, cup of green Superfood drink and coffee). Its my day off and I have nothing to do and all day to do it. The good life.

[Mousey Girl]

...putting off picking up The Boy for as long as possible. He knows I am off today so he will be peeved.

[UvaGirl]

Thinking about lunch...today it's thai chicken & brown rice salad (leftovers;) ). It's such a nice day outside...why am I at work again???

[wendybeth]

Now that the Big Thaw is on (hopefully), we are going to try doing that movie thing again. It's very foggy out, though. Having a slow-mo kind of day- still in jammies.:D

[Not Afraid]

In sweats and about to change Himachi's water.

I would rather be reading magazines than doing ANYTHING I am supposed to be doing.

[dsnylndmom]

Changed into flannel pants(it's coollllldddd)finish organizing Shawn's room, yay, and about to do dishes and then............nothing :D

[belleh5]

I'm a surfing the web and waiting for my bf to come over.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Enjoying the need for only 1 shirt.

[UvaGirl]

I'm now looking forward to hometime...4 more hours to go....

[Not Afraid]

Himachi is happy. The dishes are happy. Can I stop now????????

[Ghoulish Delight]

Thinking of dalmations

[Mousey Girl]

Himachi is happy. The dishes are happy. Can I stop now????????

Yes you can!! I personally give you permission! :D

[Not Afraid]

Wheeee!


I actually did pretty good today.

Soooooooo, now, I am sitting here being content......except.....

Thinking of dalmations

I'm thinking about Heroin Chicken~

[Matterhorn Fan]

I'm preparing to watch the first episode of American Idol. Yes, it's lame, but I like it. All the bad people will be on tonight.

[belleh5]

I am waiting for the last episode of High School Reunion 3 to air @ 9pm on the WB.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Just finished watching Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. I'm avoiding putting dinner away and doing the dishes. Dogs are sleeping- nothing needed there until Ottis needs his night-time medication (thyroid pill). Otherwise I'm just surfing the net and catching up on stuff that I didn't do yesterday. Watching that chocolate stare at me.

Tomorrow I have to pay bills, mow the lawn, vaccuum, and actually catch up on doing some housework. Bleh. Re-watch the Queer Eye, fast-forwarding to the parts with Honey in them.

Get ready for work later this week. I think this week we have the Symphony in. Easy week.

[MerryPrankster]

Re-watch the Queer Eye, fast-forwarding to the parts with Honey in them.



I haven't seen the show yet. But that Honey is quite a hottie, isn't she?

[alphabassettgrrl]

Oh. My. Gods. Mommy, I want one.

[Tramspotter]

I'm in EMT class till 10 PM. Trying to stimulate my Vagus Nerve.

Or is that my other boyfriend?

Right now, I'm advocating to my two younger sisters the virtues of cleaning up the last mess before making the next. Or at least cleaning up the mess from two messes ago... :rolleyes:

[UvaGirl]

Drinking peppermint tea:)

[MerryPrankster]

I am IMing with my husband, he's out of town. I'm also enjoying the silence...ahhhh....silence. :)

[MickeyD]

I'm eating my dinner (it's so unhealthy, I'm not going to say what it is), trying not to cry because I'm feeling really overwhelmed at work, and praying that the presenter for tonights class is still showing up, even though I've left her four messages to double check and she hasn't returned my call.

[lashbear]

Eating lunch - I'm about to go on Lite N Easy delivered food program, so it's kind of like a last supper - sausage tortillas with BBQ sauce & jalapenos.

...oh and checking the boards. :D

[wendybeth]

Had to get a tooth drilled- owie!!! Didn't hurt so much at the time, but now my jaw is killing me. So far, no root canal, so I am counting my blessings. Had to take Tori to speech after, where I learned that a friend of her's from speech and the deaf pre-school is seriously ill. She's been in the hospital for six weeks in a drug-induced coma, because of uncontrollable seizures that just started out of the blue. They had to remove her Cochlear implant, and they were hoping she was getting better, but now they have to put her back into the coma for several more weeks. She's the same age as the Girl, and just a little go-getter. They can't figure out what is wrong, and no one knows if she'll pull through or have residual impaiments if she does. Ughh. I feel so badly for her parents! Anyway, now that I've bummed everyone out.... (sorry!)
Now, I am in the process of burning dinner and putting pink (temporary) stripes in the Girl's hair. :rolleyes:

[lashbear]

Wendybeth: Oil of Cloves, or a large Gin & Tonic ought to do it ! :D

[wendybeth]

I'm hoping some white wine will work. (Say that three times fast-lol!) Fresh outa gin, Lash.;)

(Actually, can't stand the stuff. I do, of course, have some tequila- hmmmm.....)

[UvaGirl]

Oooh! WB, I know what I've been meaning to tell you! We got given a big bottle of tequila overseas - Don Julio, I think it is. It's really nice - I think I've got the tequila bug:D

[wendybeth]

Heh heh...My work here is done.;)

[MerryPrankster]

WB~ That's very sad about the little girl. I really feel for her family. Give T an extra big hug tonight. Sounds like you're ready for some tequila.

I'm vacuuming family room sofa thoroughly -- down comforter blankets and brushed corduroy seem to like each other. These little feathers are everywhere and they don't want to come up. Vacuuming floor and swiffing. Ahhh now the lampshades...

[lashbear]

Swiffing ? Do you mean Sniffing ?

[belleh5]

Right now I am searching the web for a catering company, who makes/serves tropical type foods

[Ghoulish Delight]

Swiffing ? Do you mean Sniffing ?Nope, swiffering (http://www.homemadesimple.com/swiffer/index.html)

[MerryPrankster]

Swiffing ? Do you mean Sniffing ?

No, not sniffing. I'm swiffing or maybe it's called swiffering. :D I'm using a Swiffer to clean the wood floors.

Right now I'm making room on my hard drive and deleting pictures that became duplicated somehow...
Urrgh.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Trying to read the script for "Angels in America." It's so overwhelming and upsetting, I've put it off for far too long. The production I'm stage managing opens mid-February, and it would probably be a good idea for me to get as much crying out of the way beforehand as possible.

[Scrooge McSam]

Sitting here sipping Frangelico and listening to Rickie Lee Jones

Company, by Rickie Lee Jones


I'll remember you too clearly
But I'll survive another day
Conversations to share
When there's no one there
I'll imagine what you'd say

I'll see you in another life now, baby
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company

Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company

So now you're going off to live your life
You say we'll meet each other now and then
But we'll never be the same
And I know I'll never have this chance again
No, not like you

So, I'll see you in another life now baby,
I'll free you in my dreams
But when I reach across the galaxy
I will miss your company

Company
I'll be looking for company
Look and listen
Through the years
Someday you may hear me
Still crying for company

Melancholy? Maybe, just a little

[Not Afraid]

Ahhhhhhhhh! I remember when that album came out and, even in my punk rock angst, I was loving it.

[Scrooge McSam]

Remember when she accepted her grammy?

Homegirl had that better buzz going, I'm thinking :)

Oh yeah!

Looking for a job, getting 2nd interviews just to be turned down, Monterey is gloomy grey & overcast... Bleh.

Right there with you, wendybeth! I had a tooth drilled last Wednesday and now it HURTS. Dentist adjusted the bite today and we're hoping that's it and it's not my FOURTH root canal. (And I'm only just 30.)

All the while realizing I always get like this in the dead of winter... down, introspective, picky about everything, as you said, bleh. I'm doing my best Scarlett, as I am after all a Southern girl. I'll deal with it tomorrow. Because, after all, tomorrow is another day {sniff sniff}

As for you, young cricket, at least you're in Monterey :)

And the job search? Ugh Best of luck to you there. It can be trying.

Yes, a friend of mine pointed out that I get like this every winter. She's right. Monterey's okay, now Hawai'i... that's better! :)

There doesn't seem to be a job opening anywhere in Monterey. I've been to 2nd interviews for jobs that barely need a first interview! They just need to pick a monkey and that's it. No, but someone who thinks their job is more important than it is has to scrutinize everything. And then, like BarTopDancer was saying, have a meeting about me and then say, 'No thanks.'

I think even my dog Frodo is depressed. I'm rubbing off on him. Wow, it must be bad! :D

Yep, tomorrow. Scarlett was right. But at the same time, she was loaded and didn't need to find a job. She just needed a new husband from time to time. :D

[Scrooge McSam]

Yep, tomorrow. Scarlett was right. But at the same time, she was loaded and didn't need to find a job. She just needed a new husband from time to time. :D

Plus she gets huge snaps for living in Paris, getting fat and still being cool.

Actually, since I'm Irish Catholic, I'll drink to anything. :cheers:

[Mousey Girl]

I've been feeling down, too. Although, with me it could be because I haven't had my prozac in the last few days :blush: .

I have to go back to work tomorrow...I need sleep.

Good thing Friday night is just around the corner!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :D

I should be going to bed...but I'm updating some auction crap on the database, so I'm playing here while printing.

After two days of work and two evenings of play, I'm really exhausted!!! :p

I've always loved that the Black Knight is guarding a bridge over a river which could easily be crossed elsewhere without a bridge. The scene might've been just as good if Arthur just walked around him and splashed across.

Well, it makes the whole getting dental work thing done more of a reality, and I've never had anything really ever done. I only have sealants... :eek:

UGH!

I'll have to get anesthetized!

Who wants to come to NYC and go see Spamalot with me?

[Prudence]

Thanks to repeated listenings of Monty Python's Instant Record Collection in high school, I can STILL to this day recite, from memory, the entire Constitutional Peasant scene. Complete with funny voices. If only that were a useful talent in my on-going quest for a job that doesn't suck.

Now, where did I put that copy of "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying"?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Feeling motivated....to do chores. I'm still at work though, so I'm not doing much here. :D Perhaps I'll actually get something done today? Or maybe I'll just go to DL. :p

LOL! Urban Outfiters were selling a plush version of this last December. I wish I'd bought it.

Right now I'm back at work after a long weekend, which is always hard. I need more coffee. And I'm ringing round all my credit card companies/banks/etc, because yesterday some *insert bad word here* broke into our car, vandalised it and stole my bag. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:mad:

Right now, I'm eating lunch, listening to my iPod*, updating an address database, making an attendance sheet & browsing the board.

(you can really hear yourself chew when you eat lunch wearing earbuds!)

[dsnylndmom]

Cleaning my house and dreading the fact that I have company coming over tonight :rolleyes: company I'm not looking forward to, checking the boards & sending email. I have to start thinking about what to make for dinner too, :( because aforementioned company didn't say what time they would be here. Yay again :rolleyes:

I was so glad we had a couple of emergency patients come in and no crown on my teeth. They've been feeling remarkably better, so I never had the crown.

Then I get on the bus and it's complete crash time. By the time I'm home I'm ready to do anything but chores.

[Scrooge McSam]

Trying to make some decisions about the house. I need to get some plans down on paper before going to the architect. My mom may need to live here in the next few years so I better get cracking.

But am I? Nooooooo

You're a good son, McSam. I always have the thought in the back of my mind that one of my parents or in-laws might have to live with us one day. Only one at a time, please! :rolleyes:

Me? Right now I'm procrastinating. I took a break from the task at hand and I don't feel like going back to it right now.

[Scrooge McSam]

<blush> Thanks, MP

I'd by lying if I said I wasn't concerned about us living semi-together. We're both very much our own people. But I figure if I can remodel/add on enough to get a seperate 1bed/1bath flat, she can have her own place to go and come as she pleases. We'll see. And even if it doesn't happen, I'll have a small rental to add to the monthly cash flow.

[wendybeth]

Hey, we share a home with my MIL, and it (so far) is working nicely. We've all had to make adjustments, but it works fine. Families used to do this all the time, and I think the fact that the Girl gets to be so close to her grandma is very cool.

I'm rapidly losing enthusiasm for work now...it's 2:30pm and I want to go home!:birdy:

[Prudence]

It is 8:55pm and I am in my office. My second class of the evening was cancelled, but my husband doesn't get out of his class until 9:30. Just enough time for me to drive home and turn around and drive back. So I'm here, using state resources for entertainment purposes. And listening to El Bando En Fuego because there's no one here to stop me.

[Scrooge McSam]

Just finished watching CNBC report on the Disney/shareholders case (Thank you, Tivo!!) and I'm more curious than ever.

I am watching the Real World on MTV.

Parents living with you? Hope you have better luck than we did. My father-in-law lived with us for a while but really, I wanted to kill him most days. He even had his own bathroom but he's just such an annoying person... even my husband had issues. Maybe more than I did. And he *knows* the guy, and what his quirks are, and supposedly had coping mechanisms in place.

I'm sitting here trying desperately to keep my eyes open long enough to read all the threads I haven't read since the last time I logged in, which was several days ago so there are a lot of unread threads and I don't want to miss anything good even though chances are that I WILL miss something which will make me feel very left out and unloved, something which I have had too much of in my life and work very hard to not let happen again so I do everything in my power to prevent it while at the same time realizing that not everything in life is controllable; in fact most things are out of my control and I should just let them happen and not wory about it but then I lose all control and things just get all screwy so then I have to unscrew them which reminds me that you can't unscrew a pregnant woman but I digress with that old joke and should just get back to what I was originally talking about which was what I am doing which appears to be just rambling on nonsensically which some people would argue is about all I do anyways and most peple have probably stopped reading by now since this is one big ol' honkin run-on sentence and I pretty much have run out of things to say.

(sigh)

Cohen Brothers = cool. I've loved them forever - or since I laid eyes on Blood Simple.

Zucker Brothers? ? and again ?

I am also clueless about most TV shows and cooresponding commercials, sports - unless it is the Tour de France - Muppets, Pop Music, The Simpsons and their animated kin, Pop Idols, Boy Bands, Billboard Music Charts, Jim Carrey, Reality TV and generally all Pop Culture. Oh, and I also hate most comedy.

I do know Ab Fab, The Avengers, James Bond, Woody Allen, Pedro Almodolvar, Hitchcock, and other odd and wonderful things that people either have never heard of or think I'm strange for liking.

But, then, you all knew the "strange" part! :p

Don't be alarmed, Wendy. I am uneducatable to the ways of Pop Culture.

I think I need to start a support group for the "differently cultured" or maybe just one for their friends. ;)

[wendybeth]

I feel a little better- at least you like the Cohens. And AB Fab. Okay, I'll try not to worry about you so much.


(Jim Carrey??)

[Not Afraid]

Ugh, Jim Carrey! He is among the most despised at the moment. I have a hard time with over-acting anyways, and he is the most annoying.

[wendybeth]

Lol! Teach me to read too fast....I thought that was a list of things you liked! Okay- I definitely won't worry about you anymore. I'm clueless about a lot of current pop culture, unless it's on Nickelodeon or Toon Disney. Never watch TV anymore- bores the hell out of me.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Hey, I've based my whole life's philosophy on Mel Brooks films...

I am sitting in my den listening to the rain pour down on the roof. It's really soothing actually. I'm getting over a cold I acquired in Anaheim and am anxious about a new job I'm starting on Monday. I have laundry to attend to and dishes to put away. Bleh.
I am also in the middle of watching 'The Lion in Winter' remake which stars Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close. It's going to be a long 167 minutes because I have become accustomed to the way Katharine Hepburn delivered all those juicy lines.
:)

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Ugh, Jim Carrey! He is among the most despised at the moment. I have a hard time with over-acting anyways, and he is the most annoying.

I might normally agree with you, though I was quite moved by his performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think everybody in that gem of a film was delightful to watch. Even Dunst, who I haven't liked much, at least not since her lovely performance in The Virgin Suicides.

[MerryPrankster]

I'm getting ready to take my mom to a movie, she picked Million Dollar Baby. I wanted to see Sideways, but I guess we'll see that one next. Oh yeah, it's pouring rain outside.

I normally have wednesdays off, but I was going to go in and do three h/c's for some friends.... I shouldn't be happy, because they cancelled due to illness, but I am glad I don't have to go in! The Girl still has her regular speech therapy appt. this afternoon, but until then I plan on just hanging out, relaxing.
