( The Movie Thinger )

( The Sex Thinger )


So, yeah. I was ever-so-lazy with my tags, but ah well. I think I tied Peanut on the movie thingie, with 91! :D And I was very fair in my sex list thingy ... not horrifyingly straight like _some_ people! :P

There is just a hell of a lot of stuff swirling through my brain right now. New job is settling down, this is my first actual part-time week. Of course, they put up a posting for a temp assignment for my old job, so I put in for that. It's just for the summer, but it would be back to my old income for a bit until my other chance at getting the old pay grade back comes through.
My friend Carol and I are booking a weekend getaway to a B&B in Northern Ontario for a scrapbooking weekend. It's so cool. Very cheap for a weekend away, and we can scrapbook all weekend without having kids or husbands bugging us. And someone else will cook for us and all! :D We're going at teh end of August. I thought I wasn't going to be able to go, because we have to book like now and I'm broke for a few more weeks, but my Mom is the bestest ever and will use her credit card to book me. I'll just pay her back when I finally get all my pay straightened out.
I have a doctor's appointment this week to get a couple things checked out. My worse knee (they're both bad) has been acting up and Naproxen is starting to eat away my tummy, so I need some anti-inflammatories. I'm going to have him look at my ears and also see about getting my hearing checked. There was an issue at work recently about the volume I speak at, and I had no idea that I was being loud. This has been an ongoing problem for me, so I thik I need to look into it. And last but not least, I have been having lower abdominal pains that I associate with past pains that were actually from a big-ass ovarian cyst (or three). So I need to get that checked out. Last thing I need is for another one of those to rupture ... last time I was out of commmission for about a week. Yay for Demerol, though.

So yeah, weird shit is going on, physically and mentally ... but I am REALLY looking forward to a chance to get away, even if only for a weekend.

Pistooooooooooooooons!

Changes are brewing.

I have decisions to make and I hope they don't even effect anyone but me, but if they do I guess I'm just sorry.

First day went well. I actually kind of like the job and it was so uplifting to have so many people say how glad they were to see me back. My friend Zita was so happy to see me, it made me feel really good. We've seen each other a couple times snce I left work, we're not just work friends any more, but she was so happy I was there.

I had a really good weekend too. Went to post about it yesterday but the Ronald Reagan thing came out instead.

Friday --- my sister's friend Liza graduated from teacher's college. I didn't get to go, but Aims did and then we went to the movies in the evening. Saw PoA.

Oh, and Cyn has officially spoiled me from the innocent enjoyment of HP movies. I kept eying Draco and Harry and thinking, "Hmmmm ... what if?" :P

Saturday we went to a free Finger Eleven show at the LaSalle Strawberry Festival. It was a great show, totally made up for them not being at SnoCore. Mmmmmm, strawberries and ice cream ... even if they never get local berries ripened in time and we were eating Cali berries.

Sunday we made brunch for Mom and Dad's anniversary (Sat, but they went out to dinner). It was yummy. :) Mmmmm, Cinnabon.

So, all in all, a pleasant weekend, and today was much better than expected. I'm feeling pretty OK these days. :)

I think somehow I was managing not to think about Ronald Reagan. You know I'm not American, so the death of a President doesn't have the same meaning. But my Nanna has Alzheimer's disease and is turning 90 years old this year. I know exactly what that family has gone through, with the one difference being they had the resources to have him properly cared for at home. We have to go to a stinky scary nursing home to see her and it's hard. I liked Ronald Reagan. I'm glad his suffering has ended peacefully. I just hate the way it makes me feel.

how the hell did we ever find out where places were before the internet?

You know what my biggest problem with LJ drama is?

There's someone on my friends list, unrelated to recent shit vs. fan situations, and she's sad because she's lost someone she loved. And I feel so sad for her, at work and upset because of the pain she's feeling. And above and below her entries are a bunch of people that I keep trying and trying to be friends with, all fighting with each other.
I have a hard time putting this stuff into perspective.



Jules, I haven't commented because I didn't know what to say. But, now I do. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope the great memories you obviously have of your friend will eventually bring you solace.

Some of you are getting spammed with these reminders, I know, but...

JOIN NOW! Blood-lust Forums and support dearest Sadie! :D

When you've all joined, we'll stop bugging you! :D

Say you were an lj-user and now you're an lj-user ... hope you see this so I can say Welcome back and you were missed! :D

It snowed here yesterday.

Yes, on April 27th. Yes, real snow. Yes, it melted right away.

But it was snow.

Just thought you all should know. :)

More randomness from me ...

Fuck ambrosia or whatever ... Shrek M&Ms (Shrekinems, I call 'em) are the new food of the gods.

It sucks to go to work and do a good job when the fuckers are letting you go next Friday.

Cleaning carpet is no fun.

FFXI still fucking rules.

I swear a lot lately because I'm a bitter, bitter woman.

I fucking love all of you and I'm sorry I haven't been around/supportive/whatever. Just don't seem to have much in me lately.
And now I have PMS, so don't expect anything much except bitterness and bitchiness for another week.

OK, I couldn't resist ... stolen from everyone:
