dooce

for those of you that read dooce, have you been reading lately? Her post about her birthday makes me laugh through tears. Here's a quote that still makes my stomach hurt from laughing. (I'm now doing some editing and thinking about
Asus and I'm still crying reading this quote)

"What would you have done in this situation?
Right.
That's what I thought.
I slammed the door, had a heart attack, died, came back to life, and then ran screaming down two flights of stairs. SC-RAH-HEAMING. It just kept coming out of my mouth involuntarily. I couldn't stop it: AAAAAHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHH!
The whole time thinking OH MY GOD I FOUND THE MYTHICAL BOBCAT"

My God she makes me laugh.

So much happiness

I have a beautiful new niece. I'm eating tom yum goong soup. more on both later. Happy birthday to my niece with no name. She was born 5 weeks early, is home now, named, and her mom doesn't need power wheels to get around anymore. Life is great.

not happy night

but, although the night was horrible, my brother J came to my rescue. And having that man in my life makes me happy. I wish he didn't think blogging was so nerdy or I'd send him this link.

Being sick II

Feeling much better, but not back to normal yet. I was thinking about things to be happy about while being sick with this cold, and one thing keeps coming to mind. I'm happy that I know I will get better. It's a cold. Or it's allergies, or pms or pregnancy or something else that resolves. I'm so grateful that I haven't had anything chronic or terminal to deal with in my own health or the health of my kids. There are medications. There are treatments. There are natural fat burners to help when I go on a diet.
And that makes me happy.

Being Sick

Isn't something to be happy about, but this quote from Bec is.
He knows that I stayed home today with a cold. While he was eating dinner tonight he says,
"So Mom, how was your day and your sleep today?" I tell him, "Well babe, I missed you, but I didn't feel so well with my cold."

He says, "Well, you still look pretty."

This boy loves his Ma!

Maybe he'll run a customer service department at wholesale distributors or someplace. He has the charming skills.

funny forward from a friend

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such asRomance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such asNBA 5.0,NFL 3.0 andGolf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. And it continually suggests my use of lipofuze reviews for weight loss.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.) In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend:Cooking 3.0 andHot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck Babe!
