Things that make me go Wooooooooooooooo

God, how much do I LOVE Britney Spears? She just makes normal life appear so, well, NORMAL.
One of my unfavorite blondes has decided to go without a prenup for her surprising nuptials to Kevin Federline. That means that should their marriage fail (god forbid), Federline is up for at least HALF of her 100 million dollar fortune.
I'm suddenly glad that I have no money and rely completely on my hub-unit's income. Gotta love those community property laws!
So I jumped on the hubby last night for a quick "this is the last time before I feel better about myself" romantic interlude, and somehow, I don't know HOW, I upset him. Apparently he thought that because I hopped up immediately afterward and ran for the shower and then started loading the dishwasher that I didn't get anything out of it.
Well of COURSE I didn't. But NOOOO, it can't be just about him for once, I HAVE to get something out of it. If I had to get something out of it every time I had sex, we'd never have freaking sex. I don't get guys sometimes. Anyway, so even though he should have been doing the post-orgasmic glow thing, he was grumpy instead. Did I mention that I don't get guys sometimes? Let me reiterate.
And who the fuck was the genius who invented pantyliner? What the fuck kind of WASTE OF TIME are those ridiculous things? They don't stay put, the leak, they don't have enough adhesive to hold them in any one place for more than a few hours. It's like the manufacturers expect us to stop moving once we start bleeding. Sorry, guys, that's really NOT how it works. I hate 'em.

I hate this computer.
My gazelle has shipped today, which means it will be here by the 12th. I'm almost excited about working out, because maybe just maybe I'll be able to fit back into that Morticia Addams panel skirt I bought back in 2000. I was HOT in that skirt, not to mention pretty Goth-y.
My fat monkey-cat decided that 3 AM is the perfect time to move her hoard of purr-loined shiny things onto the bed. That is specifically, the crack between my bare back and the mattress. It was fun rolling over. After ceremoniously dumping the mass on the floor, I heard the tinklings and dinglings that signify her moving them to an even sneakier place somewhere down the hall. Pretty soon we're gonna need a bigger apartment.
My friend with the gallbladder problems was moved back up here to the Island for a few days, only to be moved back to Seattle when she developed a heart murmur. She's home now, resting up for a few weeks before surgery, when she'll go back to Seattle. God, that's gotta suck.
My Bestest Best friend is still bedridden and pregnant. Diagnosed with an "incompetent cervix". COME ON NOW. As a female, I'm almost offended by that term. Almost. They might as well just call it a stupid cervix and have done with it.
I'm doing fine, thank you for asking. Still leaking the silly putty-colored stuff, but that could be from the onset of yet ANOTHER monthly feminine problem. Any physical contact attempted by the hub-unit is rewarded by a high-pitched and Gollum-like squeal of "Unclean! UNCLEAN!", retaliated by a gentle bonk to the noggin.
Sometimes, I abhor being a female almost as much as I hate my computer.

My Inner Hero - Rogue!





It's a good thing I use my powers for good and not evil, because quite frankly, I could get away with murder. I'm clever, tricky, and charming. I know how to make you laugh with one hand and pick your pocket with the other. Not that I'd ever DO that, of course...



How about you? Click here to find your own inner hero.

This is SO me it hurts. (snork)

A Change of Plans
Mood:  caffeinated
I've had coffee, so I feel better.
I hate Windows XP, but it's better than Windows 95.
After telling the hub-unit not to touch me because it's illegal to have sex with pasty bullfrogs, he dragged me out of bed at 3 am to get online and search for exercise equipment.
After an hour of searching within our spatial and financial limitations, we decided on a Tony Little Gazelle Elite, and some Phenolox pills to regulate my appetite.
I want to work out, I do. But I don't have access to the car during the day, if the weather's crappy I don't want to go (crappy weather in Washington? NEVER!), and the fact remains that all the people at the gym are already skinny. I don't know where they went before they were skinny, but watching them maintain their skinnyness only made me feel like a bloated toad. With a home gym-thing, it eradicates the obstacle of working out in front of people. I don't need to be self-conscious while working on the self-improvement. The hub-unit said he'd go to the gym with me, but the motherfucker weighs 20 pounds LESS than me so he can go spit up a rope.
I'll be keeping track of my progress, because as god as my witness I will be a size 9 before flying to Florida for New Year's. Shit, a size 11 would make me happy.

EEEEEWWWW

Now Playing: Coming Clean, Hillary Duff (HOW appropriate)
OMG I got my first yeast infection. How do you women DEAL with that???? I blame my hub-unit for getting creative romantically.
Seriously. There's itchy burning stuff going on, and there's this pink silly putty STUFF, and my mom told the Hub to put me in a vinegar bath....
So now I'm sitting here waiting for the Monistat to show up (hubby's got the car), itching like crazy and not scratching and smelling like a pickled bullfrog. I am NEVER going through this again. EVER. I don't care if I have to take drastic measures. DRASTIC I tell you.

Testing...Testing....

Awright, I went and wrote this huge entry, and then my computer fucked up. I REFUSE to write it again, so here's a synopsis:
Go buy a Chillow because they're awesome. I'm stupid because I should have bought one for my hubby AND me.
A friend of mine went to the hospital after a long night of partying with me and some others because her gall bladder gave out. They shipped her to Seattle and we haven't heard anything in 24 hours.
Welcome to Col. Mustard, who became an official tenant of the Rantsville Apartments after posting more than once. See how easy it is to move in here?
Check out The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin. Fucking Funny.
Till Tomorrow, when I'm not so cranky.

HOT! HOTCHA HOT!!!

Hey, my options changed! Suddnely I have all this cool stuff to add to my blog, and it's neat! Well, rock me Amadeus...
The last threee days have been HOT up here. I mean CRAZY hot. Not a breeze in sight, and for the last three days we've actually gone to sleep with the back door wide open. Yesterday it got so hot that I had heat exhaustion and didn't notice it (I'm not good at diagnosing myself). I was laying on the couch all day sucking down bottled water, like literally six bottles in two hours, and I couldn't sweat. Then I tried chugging some ice water before trying to take a nap, and I ended up barfing a LOT. Seriuosly, I couldn't sweat. Then, when my dad calls to regale me with tales of his weeklong houseboat adventure, he tells me that drinking bottled water is bad because there's no minerals in it. Fuck me if I knew that. Then, like a half an hour later, my husband's friend tells me the same thing. He says that I'll just stay thirsty and stuff.
So, armed with this knowledge, I am now prepared for this crazy fucking heat.
Wouldn've been nice to know BEFORE I dehydrated and puked everywhere.

The New Security Blankie
The last three days I've noticed something about my cat: she's got a security blankie.
Well, it's not really a blankie, but it comes to the same effect. She's been carrying around this thick rubber band she found somewhere on the floor, and seriously will NOT go anywhere without it. Seriously. She just walks around with it hanging out of her mouth, and every now and then she'll drop it and just STAND by it, miaowing piteously. She jumps up on the bed to sleep, and she always has to have it right by her side, or better yet, she flings on my bare back so that it sticks to me with kitty spit. YUCK. She bats it around, refuses to leave it alone for even a SECOND, and frankly I'm slightly unnerved by the whole thing. And rubber bands, no matter HOW thick, are not toys, so this thing keeps snapping into smaller and smaller bits that I'm afraid she's gonna choke on. And when it breaks, she's gotta transport all the bits around with her, and she makes like twelve trips to wherever she's going to make sure it's all there. I keep rolling over in the middle of the night and getting bits of rubber band stuck to me because she figures of SHE'S got the right to sleep in the bed, then so does her rubber band buddy. It's gotten to the point where she'll sit on the bed and stare at us until the hub-unit asks "where's your rubber band buddy, pig?" and she runs to go get it with squeaks of joy.
Fucking cats. I think maybe we'll just get her a new rubber band.
Because one strip of kitty spit-wet rubber is better than twelve.

I was going to apaologize for not writing any entries for the last couple of days, but then I thought better of it.
The last couple of days have been super-rough for me, and I've been fighting out from under one of the darkest depression cycles I've had since I've been married. The hub-unit has been trying his best to cheer me up, and I've had to sit him down and explain to him that it's the things he can't control that make me get this far down and out. The recent change from great weather to crappy, the fact that the house was a fucking mess I couldn't seem to get clean, the fact that I was suddenly conscious of my weight gain, it's all stuff he really couldn't fix by cuddles and kissing no matter how hard he tried (the effort was noted and appreciated however).
I finally just got myself up and around yesterday, and had one of the best weekends ever. The house got cleaned spotlessly, I got enough sleep so I could MOVE, I baked a couple hundred banana cakes and pans of brownies, and we actually had time for some long, drawn-out nookie sessions. And believe me, all of our activities are time-sensitive when he's working 12 hours a day. We made plans to go camping in a month, sketched out a couple of trips to the zoo and Pike Place Market, invited some people over for dinner, and took time of our own. I think mostly I was down because I thought I was in a rut, because every now and then I feel like I'm not contributing to the house. Sometimes I have to be reminded that I'm human.
