Me Birthday so far
Apr 29th
Last night, drove through traffic to pick up son and girlfriend, then Ginnie’s friend. Drove back through more traffic. Seemed like every street I was on had some construction. Chit.
Dumped Ginnie and Talia here at home, changed clothes, picked up Hubby and we went to Famous Sam’s for dinner. It was fine, spotted friends across the restaurant, and then Buck and Casey played a couple games of pool. Buck bitching the whole time about crap bar tables. Some weird guy played a video game like, right next to us and spent half his time checking out my boobs. Which both flattered AND creeped me out. Oh yeah, I had a couple beers.
Came home, Buck went out to his usual pool hustling place, Casey and Venus went over to a friend’s and Ginnie decided to bake me a cake. I watched Dr. Who and went to bed.
Got up this morning and all of that baking mess was left in the kitchen. I thought we’d had that clean-up-is-part-of-baking conversation but apparently it didn’t sink in. Amazingly, they all managed to wake up just as I was finishing the last of the dishes. Then I had to make french toast for breakfast AND clean that mess up. They all had to get ready to go out and didn’t have time. Swell.
Mom called and wished me happy birthday.
We went out to Baby Depot and then to Tempe to the Flutag, but there were trees between the stands and the lake, it was scorching hot, and over 40k people – some of who really needed to put their shirts back on.
Why do guys think it’s okay to walk around in public without a shirt on? And women can’t. It’s not like we have an internal A/C or anything.
Anyhow – dumped everyone back at Casey’s and I’m home alone. Listened to the live feed and chat room for Wingin It. Waiting for Buck to come home.
Friday!
Apr 28th
I’m supposed to pick up Casey and Sky at 6 and they’re taking us out to dinner for my birthday.
I’m supposed to pick up Ginnie’s best friend Talia to spend the night, but her father hasn’t even told her yet that he gave permission.
Cheese! It's da cops!
Apr 26th
I opened my garage door this morning and there’s 6 cop cars lining my street!
No cops, just cars. Coupla doors down.
So anyway, take Ginnie to school and turn around and come back home and then there were two officers standing alongside one car, sipping coffee. So I slowed down and asked if “all this means the neighbors should be worried?” and the supervisor (huge pin on his chest) said no, the reporting person was here but “it” was somewhere else. Whatever.
Of course, then I had to report that conversation to the scads of neighbors grouped down the street wondering what was going on. I feel special.
This is one of the few times I hate that this house doesn’t have windows on the front, unless I want to huddle in my non-air-conditioned garage and peek out the blinds.
Shaddup, I am not nosy. You’d do the same thing.
Stupid question of the day
Apr 21st
I get my prescriptions by mail and yesterday I got a new one for my female problem. Progesterone. The directions say:
TAKE ONE CAPSULE BY MOUTH AT BEDTIME FOR TWELVE NIGHTS * TAKE ON DAYS 14 THROUGH 25 OF CYCLE.
Day one of my cycle would have been the first day of my last period, right?
That was the 12th. Start taking these at bedtime of the 25th.
Eagle Cam
Apr 21st
Damn you rodeomom!
jk
I watched that Eagle Cam when I could yesterday, but today either the feed sucks or something is wrong with my ‘puter. I have to keep refreshing the page. I’m beginning to take it personally. It either cuts in and out or totally freezes up! Oh well. I keep a little window open while I’m doing other stuff so maybe I’m not totally addicted.
Recreational eagle watching?
One egg is supposed to hatch on the 26th and the other on the 30th.
I'm beat
Apr 20th
Woke early this morning.
Drove to McDonald’s for breakfast.
Drove Ginnie to school.
Grocery shopping/bank deposit.
Caught up online.
Picked up Venus in Tempe.
Filled up tank.
Drove to Phoenix for lunch – where we realized the free passes I had for a really nice restaurant had expired.
Drove all over Phoenix looking for an Olive Garden – hey, I was jonesing.
Window shopped at Castle Boutique. Its amusing what a young person “would never use” I have in my nightstand.
Over to the VA for my ultrasound and probe.
Drove in rush-hour traffic back to Tempe.
Drove in rush-hour traffic back home.
Finished putting away the groceries.
Colored Ginnie’s hair.
Caught up online.
If er’s a rerun, I’m going to bed.
Accomplishments
Apr 19th
1. Did our taxes today. Yes, I know its a few days overdue. AFAIK though if you’re getting a refund it doesn’t matter. And I am. Not a huge refund, mind you, but a refund – both fed and state.
2. Got the water bill caught up and turned back on – don’t ask.
3. Actually taking the time to peruse pharmacies to see if there’s someplace cheaper to get Ginnie’s asthma stuff. That one prescription runs almost $85/mo. I’ve gotten spoiled because mine are free.
4. 3 racks full of clean dishes.
5. Shaved my legs.
