Buttermilk biscuits prepped and in the freezer to bake off on Tuesday. One thing down for the New Years day brunchapalooza. My husband thinks I'm insane for planning these things the way I do, but if I didn't, I would stress myself out trying to do it all at once.

I am beyond pissed because the computer is only two years old. The last one I had, which was a Gateway, only lasted about 18 months before it would start shutting down and rebooting all by itself. That computer was totally possessed. It lasted about another three or four years before it totally went on the fritz. And now this one goes on the fritz after only two years. I was considering replacing it with a laptop by next summer anyway, as the one I have now is a desktop and they are supposedly going the way of the dinosaur, but I may want to replace it as soon as this weekend if the people from Dell don’t call me to tell me when they want to stop by to replace my hard drive. They have less than 3 hours to contact me. If I don't hear from them, laptop here I come.

Replacing a hard drive is really easy. It's just a few screws holding it in, then a few cables, one from power supply and one from motherboard. they are drastically different sizes so there's no mixing them up. The easiest way to keep track of cables is to immediately plug it in to the new hardware as soon as you remove it from the old. They physical install only takes a few minutes. Then you just got to install your software and drivers which is the time consuming part.

And for future reference, a computer that reboots on it's own is most likely a power supply or overheating from a bad or clogged fan.

So, my husband has always complained that I am a bed hog. In reality, I have to the bed hog since he's the cover hog!

Uhm....I think I found my PhD thesis. Now, if I were only doing an MPhil/PhD.

You know, I really like you and love being your friend, but you seem to lose control of your emotions more often than I do. I don't know how to get you to stop picking fights with me. I've told you how I feel, and now you're just avoiding me.

Can this friendship be saved?

How many times do I have to explain to this person that it's 9000 times more relevant than they realize!?!? It's called "having your finger on the pulse" for a reason.

Me: What do you want for dinner?
Him: I don't know, what do you want?
Me: I don't know, what do you want?

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Yes, it appears we're having starving for dinner tonight.

I know it's not a major crisis and there are certainly worse things in the world than being the responsible party in coming up with what we eat for every meal, but I just don't feel like it tonight. Yes, I'm being a pouty whiney pants because I don't feel good.

Just now:
Him: What are we gonna eat for supper, honey?
Me: I don't KNOW.

I love it. Just love it.

SIB, it's ridiculous, isn't it? It's especially hard when you have absolutely no idea what you're in the mood for.

Mr. Spring decided he wanted a burrito so I'm getting a taco salad. Thank mercy, because it was making my brain hurt. lol

My emergency fallback here in the sticks is pizza. Or chocolate milk and toast.

I suggested pizza even though I didn't really want it. If it were just me alone I would have had toast and scrambled eggs, but someone around here doesn't like breakfast for dinner. Weirdo.

Feeling a bit down right now.

Men keep saying that "they're not the right guy for me" which really translates to the good old "it's not you, it's me" which is even worse of a cop out. What kinda guy gets offended because you don't want them to pay for dinner or to spend money on getting you gifts?

I'm too nice.
I'm too tolerant.
I shouldn't have to change for anyone.
I shouldn't have to work so hard for a relationship to work.


I just feel so out of place here, and I mean, if you can't feel like you belong at home then where are you really?

Last night I came home around 1 am and tonight my mom tells me that if I'm coming home after 12 then I should stay where I am because she doesn't like the idea of my travelling home so late at night. I am a bit hurt by that to be honest. I don't really think that's something you really say to your child.

I feel really ****ty right now.




and on another note, I am tired of being happy for everyone getting married and having babies. I am tired of having to type congratulations (even if I do mean it and most times I do). I just feel super jealous of so many people right now. I think I hate my life.

And this is why I dreaded the holidays.

i did pizza tonight, ninja. it was the same thing, i couldn't decide what to have....

and on another note....

i might be a fat, middle-aged woman, but apparently i've still got *IT* - whatever *it* is....

popped into the hair salon near the office for a trim. there was some guy in there getting a cut at the same time.

chatting away to the hair dresser - she was telling me about her kids and her holiday and out of the blue she asked me if i had kids. i said:

no kids, no husband, no pets.

so that's why you're so happy, she said to me.

a few minutes later, guy customer is getting ready to leave.

he comes to stand behind me and hairdresser and says to me:

if you'd like to have a husband, a child and a pet, i could be all 3 for you.




i started laughing and got it together fast enough to say:

if only you weren't young enough to be my son, i might take you up on it.

because, seriously, he was a young'un...

he said he's 31 and house-broken and i couldn't possibly be old enough to be his mom.



geez... i guess all that $$$ spent on Botox is paying off for something....



it sure made MY day!
