Surfacing

Wow! I left a post up about being depressed and then disappeared! What the hell? I would be PISSED if I were you. Anyway. Thank You all for your comments, emails, phone calls, etc. I think I’m fine for now. Just admitting that I was depressed seemed to help A LOT. Maybe it was just the birth control pill fallout. They never bothered me before, but I think I need to look into a non-hormonal method for the next go around.

The weekend was so boring it is not even worth re-capping, but I’ve never let that stop me before. I scrubbed the whole bathroom with bleach on Saturday. I wised up this time, and diluted it. Did you know that you can just spray it, and then you don’t have to scrub? No wonder I got so sick last time! I was huffing all the bleach fumes while I was trying to scrub!! The funniest part of the day was that I emptied out a bottle of “green” cleaner to fill with bleach. And thus completes my return to the darkside. I do still keep a spray bottle of vinegar and water for when Ducky wants to clean. Which is always. Hmm, must harness this power.

Speaking of Ducky, she has moved up the chain of daycare rooms again. This time last year she moved from “Snake* to “Mongoose”*. Then in September, when they deemed her potty trained enough, she moved up to the preschool class, which I have no clever fake name for, but let me assure you, it is named after some animal that has something to do with the sea. Now she’s an Osprey*, which is the Pre-K. My kid is in PRE-K!!! Which is almost K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They also have swim three fucking days a week. Don’t these people care that I have to take my clothes to a laundromat? I’m going to have to buy her like 9 swimsuits to make sure she always has a clean one. AND, she needs to have it on under her clothes. We all know how well that went last year.

*stupid fake classroom names made up because I am just that paranoid

Low

I’m quite low lately, I don’t know if it’s hormonal (as in off bc for the first time in 4 years) or if I’m depressed. Or maybe it’s just the fact that bridesmaid’s dresses have a FUCKED UP and SKEWED sizing system man.

And since I’ve pulled down my shower rod accidentally more than once, there’s no need to worry about my hanging from it.

Ok now I feel like a bitch

The lovely Rhonda just invited me to her site. Thanks for reading Rhonda! Even though I am a paranoid bitch sometimes!!

Huh

I was looking over my referrer feed the other day, and it appears that someone has linked to me from a private blog. Which I am not invited to view.

OK.

Maybe the blog title is IHateMichele.com? (Hey, if Tessie has one, I want one too) I wouldn’t be surprised, I have gotten 14 hate mails in the last WEEK alone. Who knew that hating princesses would be so controversial? And someone else took time out of their busy day to tell me how boring I am. DUDE. Tell me something I DON’T know. Anyone else getting this? It seems, like cockroaches, the hate mailers have come out of the woodwork.

I don’t get it

I bought a copy of Be Kind Rewind at Target the other day. MAN, did it suck. I did not even laugh once. I need to learn my lesson about Jack Black. I do not like that man.

Can I PLEASE stop cooking?

I know, 2 in one day, shuddup.

I’ve been cooking for 7 hours. Three batches of beef stew, and 2 batches of stuffed calamari, which I never make because it is a PAIN IN THE ASS. And I hate seafood. But today (and only today, LOL) I love my husband more. I guess. Maybe. He does love it, and I’m sure that the guilt he feels eating it knowing I spent hours on it is assuaged by the JOY he feels in not having to share it with anyone.

Happy Father’s Day

This is one of my favorite pictures of them. Happy Father’s Day JD. I gotta go cook now!

It was a dark and stormy night

Happy Father’s Day Eve!

It’s pouring BUCKETS here, along with the loudest thunder I’ve heard in my life. We took Ducky to Manhattan again today, this time to see Backyardigans Live! She enjoyed it, I guess, but I thought it sucked. Or as Uniqua would say “This doth stink”

First of all, they were wearing costumes with their faces showing. Like they were trick-or-treating. I was totally expecting heads. Also, they sang live and sounded NOTHING like the characters. It was supposed to be based on “Tale of the Mighty Knights” which we have on DVD, and let me tell you, it’s awesome, and the songs are so damn catchy. Now it’s an hour long episode, and the stage show was 90 minutes with a 30 min intermission. You’d think they’d just do the show, but NOOOOO, they cut some of the best songs, and added a really dumb sub-plot. Anyway. The Highlander and I decided that we’re not going to bother with these kid shows anymore. We’ll just take her to whatever kid appropriate Broadway shows are playing. Like the Little Mermaid or something. I guess that’s part of what bugged me, too. I was in spitting distance from Broadway, and we spent all that time and money, and the show sucked. If I’d seen it at the local theater, I wouldn’t have been as disappointed.

I told him he should have come to My Little Pony. It was marginally better. Or at least the concession line didn’t take 20 MINUTES for 4 customers!!!

Can I please, please spoil it?

Holly and I went to see Sex and The City tonight. It was great, especially because I was sure I’d be waiting for DVD. What was not so great was that I forgot the 2 cans of frosting. Maybe next time.

I loved that Carrie had to get a “347″ number, and Samantha’s horny dog. And what happened to Charlotte. My friend warned me that something hilarious happened to Charlotte, and that she wouldn’t ruin it for me, and it was GOOD.

And I know where you got “hanging from my shower rod”, Tessie.

I gotta go, it’s Rojo Caliente time. (inside joke)

The whole ensemble

She dressed herself for her birthday party. And she wore the sunglasses the WHOLE TIME. I made her take off the necklace once she started playing, though.
