I just spent 1/2 hr. talking to Sue sue, she was calling to shoot the crap. She's random like that, but it was enjoyable. We discussed The Amazing Race and our teams, as well as Apprentice, people at school, work stuff, etc.

I needed to clear the space and begin a new area. This is dedicated to the Mormon sisters of the Amazing Race. I bow my head and give you a moment of silence. People, it was by far the most disheartening and saddest team loss on any Amazing Race yet. How is it POSSIBLE that she unrolled hay for 8 and 1/2 hours and found NOTHING. How is it possible that assmunches like Adam and whats her face can waltz in and find the clue right away? I just don't get it. It was so sad! And that my friends is what makes the race so great. I have to say though, I was relieved that the old couple, Don and Jean are still in it. If they're aren't the freaking cutest couple, then I don't know who is?? His little comments kill me....FUNNY! So, my favorite teams are in first and second place, and Don and Jean my 3rd favorite team are still in the race. I can't complain really. Oh, and can we even discuss the WORLDS LARGEST IKEA store that they had to go into. It gave me t.h.o right then and there. Bless the beautiful Swedes for their brilliance. And, does anyone else want to move to Norway or Sweden with me? I'm seriously considering it, 'cause it was really to beautiful and clean for me to go on living here!
So, I'm participating in Weetabix's holiday card exchange. I'm all atwitter about it. I got my first card the other day, how fun was THAT? I really need to get a move on and find a way to buy stamps and cards so I can participate. I have to say though, my expectations are high, and today when I went to the mailbox and all that greeted me was on pitiful flyer for the cable company, I was bitter. I was talking to Trace online and she asked what I expected and I believe my exact words were...."holiday cards, unsolicited checks for a million dollars, festive greetings, anonymous checks and more cards. I really don't think that's asking to much." I ask you, is that asking too much? I thought not. "'Tis the season" as they say.
Tomorrow I'm going to "babysit" my friend ALL day long. She isn't due until January but is on complete bed rest 'cause her body is trying to kick the kid out already. She has three boys, the oldest is severely handicapped, and the two younger ones are just that, YOUNG. So, I'm dragging my fat heiny over to her house by 7:30 a.m., you read it right, SEVEN THIRTY and will be there until 3:00. Then I come home and teach until 7:00. I'm excited to go and be of service to her, she's really a great gal. Plus, we grew up together on the same street (she bought her parents house) and were friends, but after highschool we just went our seperate ways, and she's a TOTALLY different person than she ever planned on being as a child. We've never had the time to catch up and talk about what we did from ages 17 to 30, so I'm looking forward to chatting. I'll also be watching Tater puff for a few hours in there, so I've got a full day. You'd think that I'd go to bed right now, but you'd be thinking wrong.
I called my friend J today. She's struggling to get papers filled out for a divorce. It's a really difficult time for her, and I just feel so bad for all she's having to go through. We had a nice conversation, and I'm just glad we were able to talk. I wish there were more I could do, but I realize that there isn't. This is something she has to work through, fill out, stay resolved with herself. But, I'm so there for moral support. I wish that none of us in life had to suffer such bitter disappointments in people that we love or trust. I wish we could all just be happy, and madly in love and fulfilled. But alas, I know that's not how it works. Boo!
My vacuum is broken, that really bites. Do you know what that does to an anal clean freak, to not have a working vacuum? It's not pretty, that's all I'm saying. Of course i already need to dust and mop again, but what else is new. I'm saving it for Saturday, because we've got big surprise company coming in on Sunday. My house must be sparkly fresh for the big day. I'm even gonna bust out the real mop and pine sol for this one. See, I've taken to the clorox ready mop lately. It's simple, it's quick, it gets the job done. But yet, it's lacking something, and that something would be pine fresh scent.
Did you know that apparently eating two bowls of graham crackers and milk is NOT the way to make a tummy happy? Me either, but I found out. That's all I ate today, figuring that was a good breakfast and lunch. But, come about 4:45 p.m., suddenly stomach said NO YOU DI'INT and it rebelled. I found it odd, and frankly wasn't a fan of it at all. And that was too much info. Sorry. However, consider yourself warned and be smarter than me!! haha
Whelllll, I think I've dragged this on long enough. I must be off, to get ready for bed and snoozey snooze.
Later peeps
