December 2009
I will sign off now, not knowing when I will see my tumblr friends again (soon, if I can score some free wifi at my mother-in-law’s house). Everyone have a great early winter holiday.  Whatever it might be, however you celebrate or don’t. I should have unbelievably cute nephew pictures when I get back.

physicsphysics: My personal favorite: “I’m hung like a Foucault pendulum.” It is a good thing I put down the milk before reading this page.

Observations
A few more observations, while I procrastinate nothing: I suck at house keeping and so does Craig. If I thought I could get away with dipping ham into miracle whip, I would not eat much bread. I have probably consumed enough preservatives in my life to live until I’m 300, and I don’t intend to stop any time soon. Ham is delicious.

Someday, I will post a post for yins with all of the spelling mistakes left in, so you can see how much editing I have to do to post something.  Dictionary.com is not just book marked, it is a button on my browser.

Worrier
Craig isn’t online.  This always worries me.  He was on this morning, so I know he made it to work okay.  ARGH!!!!  It is almost assuredly absolutely nothing (like he had to reboot his computer), but I’ll worry just the same. Thirty Seconds Later:  He is back online.  You have now had a little glimpse into the scary fabricator of worry that is my brain.  Constantly.  All of the...

What did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a marine fighter pilot leading to a career as an astronaut.  Of course, I also wanted to be an astrophysicist and a behavioral zoologist.  Math instructor was nowhere on the list.

Lots of little things to do, some errands to run, but then we’re ready!  I’m very excited!  Oh, but we have to get up at 3am, which kinda sucks.  I’ll be sleeping for at least the first leg of the flight.

I caught up on the double episodes of Dollhouse yesterday and today.  I can’t say I like what they did with Echo and Ballard.  I’ve just never really liked Ballard that much.  Something about him just gets under my skin. Topher and Alpha are entirely different stories. ;-) I am sorry they are canceling it, but at least they get to wrap things up this time…

I was tired when I got home, so I took a long nap.
gilmoure: scitchet: constantreader: Now I can’t sleep and it’s 4 in the morning, and I have to get up at 8. I will likely come home tomorrow and take another long nap, and then not be able to sleep again. It’s a vicious cycle. Blah. You should get you some narcolepsy.  I can nap from seven to nine, go to bed, sleep until 5:30, and still not be able to get up (that happened Tuesday).  Over...

Craig rarely gets mad.  Only when he is driving or playing video games.  He is playing grand theft auto something.  There is a lot of swearing in our house this morning. I am going to go play Heroes of Might and Magic while I eat this beautiful cholesterol filled breakfast of two eggs (whole) scrambled with milk, cooked in real butter.  MMMMMMMMM!

Heathens!
gilmoure: “Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen…For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.” — Jeremiah the prophet

I don't usually get very angry.
contramundum: But fuck, I fucking hate it when my brother does this. That fucking capo and my guitar tuner get so scratched and shitty when he borrows it. And you wonder why I don’t let you borrow my insanely expensive guitar. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU- Younger brother?  Yeah, they are like that.

Gaming, reading Mason-Dixon, and knitting, with football on in the next room.  Even when I relax, I can’t relax.  Oh, and laundry.

The husband unit is playing one of the grand theft autos.  I always find the soundtrack unbelievably amusing.  I find myself snickering most of the time he is playing.

Updates
I feel much better today. We got an e-mail yesterday.  It said that the “higher powers” had found a way to work around all of the bureaucratic bullshit they have been feeding us.  Which, in itself was good news.  Very good news.  But, I’d been hoping to use that very bullshit to get out of working an overload next semester…  Crap there goes that excuse. Oh, I should...

Our weekend morning routine is that one of use gets up with the dogs at 5:30 and lets them out and then sleeps on the couch (we try to be good neighbors and not let them bark at ungodly hours).  Inevitably, the person who stayed in bed is up and moving before the person who is on the couch.  That is me this morning.  Trying to keep quite and not wake hubby up.  But I am getting HUNGRY!  So,...

Apparently, they think I’m a “grassroots” republican. *snort*  I’m not even sure what that means.  I am most definitely not a republican.  It was fun to fill out.  The husband unit was upset that there wasn’t a space to write in that I wanted gay marriage to be legal and abortions for everybody.  It was fun to fill out though.  The letter accompanying it was...

I'm really sad today
For so many reasons. 1)  It was a crap semester, and now that it is officially done, I’ve got lost of emotion leaking out. 2)  It was a crap semester for the people around me too.  And that just sucks. 3)  It has been crappy for my family since the beginning of summer (when my grandmother, the matriarch got sick), and now they are facing the first Christmas without Popcorn.  Not to...
