disaronno+cranberry juice=no more snarkiness
Today was a bit.......
no.
I was a bit snarky today. Just all over kinda pissy. Thanks goes to Jason for putting up with me, and continuing to talk to me even though I wasn't contributing anything worthwhile to the conversation.
I get this way sometimes. Just moody with no reason. and no, it's not PMS. I get that too, but it's not as overt as this kind. It just hits me sometimes and everything gets the same cynical reaction from me.
Was getting overly irritated by customers. It just bugs me when people oh-so-seriously tell me they NEED their phone, and they NEED me to give them a replacement NOW. Seriously, people, you will survive, and won't even remember this dismal time of phonelessness.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be more like my usual optimistic self. Gonna take a hot bath tonight, and get some lovin' from my man. (and dare I hope, a back rub?! mmmmm.....) He was so sweet and went to the store for juice and the liquor store for Disaronno. Yum. Alabama Slammers, anyone? yes, please.
no.

There's orange things in my loaf!
Feeling blah today. tired, mentally....restless, but without any energy to do anything about it. did get some housework done, but not as much as planned. I really wish laundry folded itself. I think when I can afford it, I will splurge greatly on a weekly maid type person and have them fold my laundry and put it away. and sweep and mop and vacuum. and wash the windows. I don't know. Maybe I'll decide that's too extravagant. maybe.
I wish I had another day off. I wish I could only work part time. It's not that I don't like my job, I do. I just want more time at home.
Gonna go to Goodwill at some point and look for jeans. If I can find some there, it'll save a lot of money. We got this semester's financial aid, so are doing a few fun things. Mike got some stuff he's been wanting, a new keyboard for his computer, some headphones. I am going to order all my seeds and plants for my garden!!! I am so excited about it. Andrea is ordering a bunch of stuff too, and we are sharing the cost of quite a bit of it, saving both of us a lot, since neither of us need a whole seed packet of most of it. Here is a partial list of what I am growing:
Peas
Beans
Tomatoes
Some herbs
Zucchini
Tiny pumpkins
Basil
Stevia (a sugar substitute)
More than that, but will post a longer post about it later.
I did manage to plan dinners for this week, which I didn't do last week. I like it so much better when I do, we actually eat balanced meals on time.
Kaia and Mike have tomorrow off, for Martin Luther King Day. They are going to go grocery shopping, and spend the day together.
We had a good weekend, spent Friday night at Andrea and John's, spent Saturday with them, and then just hung out today here at home.
Making meatloaf for dinner. Trying something new, I shredded carrot into it....we'll see.....

Exercise in Futility-of a lighthearted sort
I hate cold. Have I mentioned this? I'm sure I have, but it bears repeating since I live where, right now, at 9:44 am, it's ONE FRIGGIN' DEGREE OUTSIDE.
This morning, when Kaia and I left, there was frost on the INSIDE of my windows. The frost was so COLD that when I tried to scrape it off (without gloves, forgot them, again) I couldn't even get to the lower layer. I turned my car on, turned on the back defroster, and sat for a few minutes...then got out and tried again. I got some off the back window, since it had been defrosting, but still no luck on the front, so sat for a few more minutes.
I glanced at the back window, to see frost REFORMING.
ON THE INSIDE.
It took about 10 minutes before I said screw it, and just drove. Most of the frost was gone, though I needed to keep the windshield wipers going (Kaia calls them "shields" as in "turn on the shields mom!")
My fingers were bright red and hurt like hell. It hurt to BREATHE this morning.
This is NOT COOL.
On a brighter note, we are spending the night at John and Andrea's, and maybe it will be good sledding weather tomorrow!!

So I've done parts of this on my other blogs, but am bored tonight, so rewrote it. here ya go, if you are at all as bored as I am, you can read it!
1. I am ¼ German, ¼ Portuguese, and the rest is a mixture of French Canadian, Spanish, Scandinavian, and Irish (or was that Scottish? oops…)…some Dutch too, I think.
2. I was born in White Salmon, WA in 1977. We lived above White Salmon though, on a mountain, in a cabin in the woods.

5. I love to read. I almost always have one or more books I am reading, and hate to be without one. I like fiction best.
6. I love having something to Plan. When we moved, I planned for 6 months and had a blast doing it. I am currently planning my school schedule and our future house.
7. I love sushi-not too into the raw chunks of fish, though eel rolls, if done right are yummy. I love orange rolls, and Philadelphia rolls.
8. I am extremely impatient and a very instant gratification sort of person. I want what I want now!

11. I have worked in customer service for 13 years. I have never had a job where I don’t deal with the public.

28. I make really, really good fudge.
29. I have hairy toes.
30. I love vampire novels and movies.
31. I can be very judgmental, but if I like someone, I’m rarely judgmental about them. If I don’t like someone, I’m overly judgmental.

33. I want to learn how to speak Japanese someday. I have it included in my school plans.
