Guess what day it is?
NOVEMBER FIRST, Fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!
Today marks the day that I begin my campaign to convince hubs to let me put up our Christmas tree. I prefer artificial christmas trees just for this, for the fact that if Micah actually gave in and let me put the tree up, it would still be alive for Christmas Eve, that and I hate having to water Christmas trees.
Not once int eh twelve years has Micah let me put up the tree any earlier than December first, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST TIME! (Hopefully this will be the year!)
Pee ess : I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Oh Em Gee
Plus. Fifteen.
Say it.
SAY IT!
Pluuuuus. Fifteen.
Plus. As in NOT MINUS. Fifteen.
AHNYway.
You will never EVER, in a million years, guess the temperature it hit yesterday!
What? How did you guess? It was indeed PLUS FIFTEEN!
I'm rather upset that you've never shared the fact that you were psychic with me before, but that's not really the point of this post, is it? The point is not that yesterday the weather was amazingly beautiful with NO wind, with blue sky and PLUS MOTHERFUCKING FIFTEEN weather, the point is : it's not going to last.
In fact, it shouldn't be here now. It's the middle of October. Already, today, Sunday, the day after the wonderful +15 of yesterday, it is back to the seasonal temperature of 0. And what's worse, it is going to get colder. Thirty to fifty degrees colder.
My sister in law has some (new) cool (<--heh. keep reading to see the pun) winter car accessories that I want.
She had heated seats installed in her van.
There is NOTHING, not chocolate or bacon, or even chocolate covered bacon, better than getting into a car and having it warm up your butt for you.
NOTHING

The trouble with new
Fro as long as Micah and I have been together we have had mismatched couches. And really, It was OK. Yes, it bugged me a bit that my furniture wasn't so nice, but the fact that I wasn't paying them off was nice.
Then my inlaws got new furniture and sent us their old set, a 25 year old pair of love seats that look like they are less than five years old. It`s very nice to look into the living room and see matching furniture (Its even nicer that they were free) but still, new furniture does cause some problems.
Like I said the love seat set looks freaking new. Micah;s mom is very OCD about cleanliness so there is not a single spot of wear or stain on them. Anywhere.`It makes it challenging then, when I want to sit the boys on the couch with popcorn to watch a movie. I get hyper stressed that they are going to spill the popcorn or wipe their greasy hands on the couch! I've started covering them with blankets - the couches, not the kids!
But what is the point in getting new or modern furniture and then hiding the fact that I finally have nice furniture under a blanket?
I need to find a balance between protecting the furniture form stains and letting the children in the same room with them! I've heard you can steam clean furniture like you can carpets. is it the same kind of machine? At our grocery stores you can rent the carpet cleaner thing, but is there a smaller one you can buy for doing furniture? And if so, so you have one? What kind? And most importantly, Does it work??

If Wishes Were Horses
I was sitting here today and reached for the tube of lipsel I keep at the computer table. it was empty so i got up to go to my purse where I have (no lie, no exaggeration) an additional 24 tubes of lipsel. Each one is a different "flavor" and none of them are perfect.
I've read reviews about Burt's Bee's lip balm and it sounds perfect, they use all natural ingredients in most of their products, and their lip balm is "more" than just lip balm.
I am more than willing to admit that I am addicted to lip gloss, that I cannot go very long without reapplying a coat, that I keep tubes of the stuff in each of my coats, purses, beside my computer and beside my bed, and that doesn't even go into the tubes in the car or my purse.
But I have yet to try Burts bee's lip gloss, and I WANT TOO!
I've tried department stores like Wal*mart, and smaller cosmetic stores like Shoppers Drug mart and I cannot find any. Is it just a states thing? And if so, who is willing to send me some?

I Need a Snuggie!
It's so blasted cold! It was such an unseasonably warm September that the cold cold COLD of October is just shocking. One day it was plus 17 the very next morning we had snow, and it's just not fair.
I told my husband that we need to apply for passports, pack our bags and head out on the next plane for one of those nice HOT panama city beach vacations! One, preferably that lasts for five to seven months, just until the snowy cold disgusting winter is over!
My inlaws leave for Arizona the day after Christmas, and my sister in law* heads to sunny Florida on Wednesday and I have to sit here, freezing my butt off!
*To be fair, my SIL actually lives in Florida and is heading home and not on a sun filled relaxing vacation.
*To be even fairer, I asked her if i could come home with her, and she told me if I could fit in her carry on (I tried, I couldn't) I could come.

Ouch n' Crap!
So I just cut my finger really badly. It's bleeding quite heavily. I was making my self a sandwich and had a bread knife, a BREAD KNIFE! I was cutting meat for my snack and just as fast as you can blink cut the side of my finger right to the nail.
I'm allergic to the adhesive on band-aids and avoid them at all costs, and usually clean and dry a cut and use crazy glue to seal it. But I;m all out of glue.
I have lots of stuff to do, including updating this website, so I have covered my keyboard in saran wrap. It's getting rather slippery!
Oh well. Shit happens.
Speaking of shit, eight years ago I was sitting, waiting and waiting and waiting in the doctors office to do a glucose testing, In Canada, maybe in the states too, a woman has to do a glucose test while pregnant to check for gestational diabetes. (I passed) While I was waiting my husband and my (then) only son showed up at the office to wait with me.
While we waited, my little two year old gave his mommy a present, a pretty diamond ring that had "I love you" cut into the side.
last night I went to put that ring on and noticed that one of the diamonds were missing, and the rest of the setting was very loose.
Does anyone know if I need to take it to the jewelers where it was bought to get it fixed or can I take it anywhere?

*Shiver*
I'm So So cold.
Look! Snow!
Don't be fooled the exclamation points, I'm not nearly as happy about the snow as it looks. In fact, I would say that I am darn right depressed,sad and any other adjective that properly portrays a great sense of "woe is me"
I don't know nearly enough about geography and the USA to know if North Carolina is snow free year round like Florida is, but when I was online this morning I saw an ad for Blue Cross Blue Shield NC and was instantly sent into a wonderful dreamworld where I was basking on a nice sun warmed beach with white sand and dolphins doing the hula.
And for those of you who are keeping track, dolphins DO do the hulu All.The.Time.

Hoarder-ing
So. I might be a hoarder. Not in the sense that I cry when the cleaners pick up a eight year old pumpkin off the floor with a shovel, or that I keep 863 cats in my bedroom, but in the sense that I have 3496 (read) emails in my inbox.
Yeah. Three and a half thousand emails.
And I need each and every one of them!
It *might* be time for me to take advantage of one of those email archiving services, becuase soon I will run out of room in my email account!
And that would be bad.
make me feel better. how many emails do you have saved?
