Running Commentary

I know..I’m beautiful. LOL. 

Nothing to Blog

There is NOTHING happening right now interesting enough to blog about.

I can’t run much this week, as my shins are causing me great pain.

My friend and I highlighted my hair, it turned out ok. It looks more like I lightened my hold head but I can live with that I guess.

We watched some movie this weekend…I know…you’re shocked.

Cat In The Hat….He really does sound like Charles Nelson Riley. Wasn’t the best kids movie around..way too many adult jokes..”Dirty Hoe”? Not cool in front of an 8 year old. But the fish was funny and Chris thought Kelly Prestons boobs were lovely.

Paycheck…I was NOT excited to see this movie. Ben Afflect disappoints me usually. Daredevil is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. However, paycheck was alright. It was entertaining. I thought I would hate it, cause usually the whole backwards movie thing really bugs me, but this time it sort of worked. Although, I wish they would stop trying to make him tough, cause he’s not. And that’s fine, just give him a gun or something. You know?

Watched half of Lord of The Ring: Return of the Hubba Hubba King.
Loving it so far. I loved these boos in high school and I am loving the movies. Gollum is wicked creepy. But the hubba hubba’s are still Hubba hubba’s (and I am NOT talking about any hobbits!).
Anyway well done and all that. We are watching the other half tonight. Do you think that makes us old? Having to watch it in two installments? We are pathetic.

Well the baby is up…and I need to be with him for a bit since he was awake until MIDNIGHT! In bed at 8pm as usual…up at 11pm till 12!
NICE!

Garage Sales May 22 2004

We decided to go to some garage sales (yard sale, lawn sale, rummage sale, garden sale etc) out in the country today.
BOY did we buy some stuff.

Our Haul:
One red love seat type chair that may or may not be antique, covered in bird shit and will be cleaned tomorrow.- $70.00
One HUGE brandy snifter filled with different coloured bird eggs and one Ukrainian egg -$5
Two rattan round basket chairs with red cushions -$4
One huge metal wash tub – $5
Two silver powder boxes – $5
One motocross helmut (don’t ask)- $5
Eight Spiderman comic from 1973 -$2
One copper and stainless wok with stand and lid $.50

And that’s it I think. Plus we stopped at HOSTA WORLD and bought $35 worth of hosta’s and home depot and bought $70.00 worth of plants and dirt.
HOLY CRAP!

well the plants are planted…the chair has been vaccumed.
Everything else can wait until tomorrow.
We are gonna watch a movie and eat some bad stuff.

I’m not sure but I think shopping may be out for tomorrow.

Though I do need new capris.

Long Weekend…short plans May 21 2004

This is a long weekend. I LOVE long weekends even though I’m at home right now. We had originally planned to go camping this weekend up in Kincardine on the shores of Lake Huron, my absolute FAVORITE place to be. However the forecast now calls for rain rain rain all weekend and I don’t see this weekend ending well with 4 people stuck and cold (since we would inevitably forget the ceramic heater) in a little trailer.
So we canceled.

Now are plans are somewhat different. I know two things…Sunday I am getting my hair highlighted and possible trimmed. Also I think Saturday I might peruse some garage sales and visit HOSTA WORLD! (echo echo)

THAT’S IT! Those are our plans for 3 days.
Egad.

Oddly my little sister owes me around $70.00 no biggie, but she said she would pay us on Thursday (yesterday) and low and behold I didn’t hear from her all day! NOt that I need it (for once) but you know..it’s just irresponsible of her.

OH well. I will wait and see how it all plays out.

Well I have to get the little sprog ready for school and pack his lunch.

My Baby The Weirdo May 20 2004

So Shmoopsie, our youngest is teething again. Only he doesn’t teeth like any other baby I’ve met.

He was over 9 months old before he got his first tooth (2 top teeth at once) and almost a year before he got anymore (2 bottom front teeth at once). Months and months past and I think in January or February (15 months old) he finally got 2 teeth (at once again) beside his upper front teeth.

From then on there has been no action in those gums. Until he as crappy and SUPER whiney about 2 weeks ago. And while he was SCREAMING I caught a glimpse of his upper gums.

What did I see there? 2 flipping molars that’s what!
ANd his little gums sure looked sore all around it..funny thing is we knew he was teething, we just ASSUMED he would be getting bottom teeth. And we bought the teething gel down there…not helping one bit. Nice parenting.

So let’s recap…that’s 6 teeth on top (including 2 molars..completely out of order) and 2 on the bottom.

The past couple of days he has been out of sorts again…and finally I clued in that it might be teeth coming..again I assumed he would be getting bottom teeth, the one (or 2) right beside front teeth. Well they were bottom teeth alright, but once again….2 molars coming in.
What is with that child? There is a certain order that one follows when growing teeth.

He is clearly an anarchist and my life in about 14 yrs should be rather interesting.

God help us all.
