Happy Birthday, evie_0!

Once again, I'm posting a birthday message early--but I must b/c lately I totally suck at getting anything done on time.

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY evie_0 (T!)!

You and your excellent VM stories brought me into the LJ world and I really want to thank you for that. I hope your birthday is the best and that you get all your heart desire's this year. :)

Happy, happy BIRTHDAY!

Happy HAPPY Birthday to Alexis!

Okay, yes, it's a day early but with my luck, I wouldn't be able to get to my computer until after the actual day. So, flisters, join me in wishing our pal Alexis (a_h_c) a wonderful birthday.

Thanks for always making me laugh and for always knowing just what to say to make me feel better. :)

I hope this birthday is a fantastically happy start to a great year.

Happy Birthday!

Because this cracked me up...

Gakked from a_h_c :

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now consider yourself obligated (even if we don't speak often or ever) then you should post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ saying who you snagged it from and see what your friends come up with.

Friday Night, Time to Cry

So, it appears that Thursday night is my night to laugh and Friday is my night to cry.
I have The Office on Thursday and FNL & BSG on Fridays--so, yes, I'm crying all night long.

Here's why:

Finally saw FNL

I was watching Friday's episode of FNL and Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer came to mind. I read something Joss Whedon supposedly had said--something about creating immediate drama when he needed it by putting Willow in danger. It instantly would draw the viewers' attention.

(no subject)

Four years ago at this very moment I was calling my ob-gyn to tell her my water broke.

I remember the excitement and nervousness I felt as I made that call. I kept fear pretty much at bay by focusing on the anticipation I was feeling, instead.

I have to tell you, four years went by pretty quickly...and that? That, for me, is scarier than labor and delivery ever was.

Happy birthday, baby. Mommy loves you.

Who is this guy?



Yes, it looks like my dad and dresses like him, but I have never seen this guy.

I wonder...

As a kid, I hated Battlestar Galactica. HATED it. The robots, the space travel, the fighting-- It held no appeal for me whatsoever, and I had relegated it to the list of "boy" shows I would not watch. It didn't last long on the air,and two years later would be resurrected again into a show I would not watch either. Little did I know then that nearly thirty years later, it would be reborn into one my absolutely favorite shows.

I was thinking about this as I finished Friday's episode: Which or our favorite shows is timeless enough to be revisited nearly 30 years later? The one that immediately came to mind was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don't you think?

What else do you think might work? Can you envision a new Veronica Mars years down the line? Maybe this time, Logan will be a woman. Let's see how the old fans handle that. :)

Fashion Don't for Daddy

Tonight, I was lying in bed checking my e-mail when M entered the bedroom carrying E in his arms. Dangling from his ears were a pair of fake pearl drop earrings E had received from Santa.

"I have to take these off," said M, rubbing his earlobes.

"Why?" E whined.

My response? "Because Daddy's not a pirate."

No other explanation needed, right? :)

Stuff of Horror Films

I creep out pretty easily so imagine my unease when at 1 a.m., everyone (but me, of course) is asleep and suddenly I hear one of the baby toy phones suddenly ringing.

It's one of the little LeapFrog phones that speaks once you press the buttons. Do you know how creepy it is to hear that little kiddie voice speaking from somewhere in the dark when NO one could possibly be pressing the buttons?! You KNOW what happens in the horror film, right? The mom walks into the kitchen and sees some ghastly/ghoulish dead baby apparition playing with the phone. Eeesh.

I figured it had been thrown into the playpen and was now under some other toy that was pressing down on it.

Uh-uh. It was all alone on the kitchen floor...absolutely quiet once I saw it...and saying "Bye Bye!" the minute I walked away from it!

No effin' way. I'm shuddering now just thinking about it.

Being the wuss I am, I took said phone and placed it on the window ledge outside my front door. :)

Panic Sets In

M got laid off today. He'll be out of work for at least a month, but with everything so slow, it may be longer. He's a union carpenter foreman, but even with a union, it will be difficult to find work right now.

I have to tell you, I'm freaking out a little bit. Unemployment won't even bring in half of his salary and with it being the middle of the school year, it isn't as if I can go back to teaching right now.

Like I said, kinda freakin' out here. I take care of all the bills since every time he's been in charge, he just walks around loudly complaining about ONE MORE THING he has to do. (Ass.) Anyway, he really has no idea how tight everything is right now. I'm trying to stay calm since my breakdown certainly won't help anything, but it's difficult.

I hate the thought of living on our savings; I look at these kids and get really nervous about just how we're going to do it. I know it can be done--live simply, live cautiously, spend responsibly-- but I still worry.

I hope this ends quickly.

If Only She Knew...

I had parent-teacher conferences on Tuesday for E's first year of preschool.

Thankfully, she's doing well, advancing as she should, still working on things that most 3 year olds are working on, but overall, seems to be on target.

Miss Joan: Yes, Emma's doing really well. Her vocabulary is excellent. It is much more extensive that that of most 3 year olds. She really knows the words and meanings to many words most kids her age have never heard.

I nodded proudly but said nothing. I was thinking of last week when I was downstairs working on a scrapbook layout and through the baby monitor heard E say to M, "Where the fuck are my shoes?"

Oh, you're definitely right, Miss Joan. She certainly seems to have a more advanced vocabulary than most 3 year olds.

VM MOVIE; Where have I been?

Does everyone know about this but me?

Veronica Mars Movie Finally in the WorksRead more... )

Now while I'm still a big enough fan to want to see this, why does it sound like RT's doing this ONLY b/c he's desperate for some work? Am I right?

Proof I'm Evil...

Been a little rough around here lately b/c I'm not sleeping. We had a stretch of time where the kids would wake up early in the night and later in the morning. This gave me time to get at least a little sleep in between there. Well, something's up with everyone's sleep cycle and I feel as if I'm up all the time. Needless to say, I am insanely cranky.

I have all the patience in the world for the babies, but for M? None. Read more... )

It's a New Day...

Hello, LJ pals!

Alexis has reminded me how long I've been gone. But honestly, I've been such a shrew lately, I'm not fit company for anyone, not even the Internet. Nothing awful happening, just losing more sleep than usual which makes me unbearable.

The kids have been sick on and off since the last time I posted (yes, since NOVEMBER) and Sabrina is back to not sleeping through the night and Aidan's new thing is to wake up especially early. Dude, they're out to drive me insane.

My house is a disaster, I can't tell you the last time I had a really decent (HOT) meal, E's turning into a ginormous brat, M's getting on my last freakin' nerve, my mom (though wonderful for helping me still) is driving me nuts, and blahblahblah--well, there's too much to mention and it's all too freaking depressing and stupid, so I won't bother.

There are still good things happening, of course, I haven't totally forgotten. Read more... )

Question for my Computer-Literate friends

Does this make any sense?

I'm trying to create a photo collage that I can upload to a store to print. I don't want to use my own printer since the quality is never as crisp as I want. Typically, I upload my photos as jpeg files and print them with a local store. Now, what I'm trying to do is create a photo collage so I can upload it and print it.

I work in Microsoft Word on my MacBook--is it possible to create such a file and save it as a jpeg to be uploaded? I've been unable to do it. Or must I create this in a different program?

I keep reading this over and I don't seem to be clear. Sorry about that...
