Finally my man is coming home.
I've been cleaning house all night. Oddly...it really doesn't need all that much cleaning, but I've this insatiable need to clean out all the dressers, drawers, closets, and basically anything that no one ever sees in my house. In fact, I do believe I've managed to make the house a BIGGER mess! Ridiculous.
No matter...as long as he gets home soon & does it safely...I'll be A-OK!

Good Friends!
Because I haven't written in so long I decided to post a few pics of some of my bestest buds here on island. I only posted a few because there is no possible way I could get everyone in here....but at the very least you'll get to see a few of those I know & luuuuuv! Toodles!
Ban "LOL"
I absolutely despise the acronym "LOL". I've decided to use the word *giggle* instead. You must admit, a refined *giggle* is so much more realistic than a full belly laugh after EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE. Honestly....who does that?
The truth is...if we really "LOLed" as much as we write "LOL" it would get seriously annoying.....
blah blah blah LOL blah blah blah LOL blah blah blah LOLOLOLOL! JEEZ-US, enough already!
And now...after much deliberation with my girl, Sonia, we have decided to take it upon ourselves to change the course of internet history.....muahahahahahaha!!!
We will, before your very eyes, single-handedly bring to the world the new and improved acronyms "CKL" for chuckle & "GGL" for giggle.
These....the sounds of utter delight and amusement...are so much more pleasing to the invisible "ears" in which everyone now "hears" the words written upon their screens.
So EMBRACE the "CKL" & "GGL", my friends. Embrace like you have never embraced before!!
Do you see the ridiculous depths to which my intelligence drops when I havent slept! UGH! I'm outtie. I can not continue to destroy the fragile fibers of friendship being woven here by my late night stupidity! Toodles!

Cha Ching!!
I'm beginning to think that I need to set up completely seperate savings accounts for Christmas & the beginning of school.
School begins in two weeks and I've already spent a little over $2000.00 on clothes & school supplies. OUCH!
And now, I've just gone through my purchases & realize I still need to buy the boys jeans and maybe a shirt or two. Not only that, but as the first week of school looms ahead I must keep in mind that teachers always send home new and improved lists of must haves once their students arrive.
My husband may have a heart attack.
This being said....drop by my house anytime during the month of December. It's pathetic really. I will admit that I spoil my kids a tad, but even if I only bought 4 gifts a piece we'd have 24 gifts shoved under our tree...JUST FOR THE KIDS!
Honestly though, when have I ever just bought 4 gifts a piece for the kids at Christmas.
Insanity!

In A Place....
Ugh...
How do I feel right now? Numb. I can't feel my fingers. Can't feel my feet. Maybe numb isn't the word. It's isn't that I can't feel, but that every nerve in my body is on edge. It wears me out.
I am cleaning...but only because it is fairly brainless. Things need to be done around here....so I'm throwing everything away. listening to music & tossing everything. I pick things up...I toss them out. I have a little box that sits near me. A few things that are simply out of place go into the box. I'll put them away when I'm finished with everything else.
Trash...box...spray...wipe...trash...box...spray...wipe. Completely brainless.
It's just the day. Every foul mood passes. This one will as well. It could be worse. I could be hiding in my bed, under my covers, sleeping the day away.
I hate days like this.

Ancient ruins of moi
I've been feeling terribly ancient as of late.
It most certainly doesn't help that all my friends went from mid-thirties to early 20's seemingly overnight. How did this happen?
I can now say with all assuredness that any bit of a hard time I used to give my older friends...has come back to haunt me seven-fold. (Apologies Kim & Kevin)
Just this week I was listening to AFRICA by TOTO and one friend in particular informed me that he hadn't the foggiest who TOTO was and that it was quite likely because he was still in the cradle at the time.
I want to vomit. *UGH*
I need new friends.

Quick & Painless
Writing something quick & not so meaningful.
I am in the middle of cleaning house. Not "cleaning", but CLEANING house. Everything needs to be thrown away. Everything needs to be re-organized for packing (even if I am 3 1/2 months out). So, I am utilizing my days....or trying to.
Right now, what I would really L-O-V-E is a Mocha Frappachino with a shot of caramel....no whipped cream. My taste buds are reeling, but alas....leaving the house means I will accomplish nothing at all. I know this of myself.
I also am fairly sure I have a brand spanking new vacuum sitting at the post office awaiting my pick-up. And as much as I would adore running that new baby over my carpets....it isn't as if I have no vacuum at all. The Dyson will have to wait....Dirt Devil lives one more day.
Besides all that, I also need quite desperately to make a commissary run. And unfortunately, I am not one of those people who can consciously unload groceries into an unclean house. Can you say....PSYCHO? Yes, I am aware that I have issues. Probably far more than any one woman should have, but still....you love me. So what does that say about you?! HEHEHEHE! Alright, I'm out! TOODLES!
