catching up

Been gone again, sorry. Should stop apologizing every time I'm in here, apologies which could be avoided by coming here more often. Um. So, anyway, hey howdy. Keeeses!

I'll do another list thing so I can avoid an actual narrative. Have no number in mind, will keep going until over it.

1) In an ominous lull here at work. Shit about to hit the fan but today not so much. Which is good, 'cause I'm a teeny bit hungover. Have a feeling, though, that it's one of those stealth hangovers that get worse as the day goes on. We'll see. Bet it's ibuprofin before lunch today, baby.

2) Went to a big anniversary blast last night at my old job. Impressive blowout. Had a great time. Don't think I made too big a fool of myself at any point. I hope.

3) Hated seeing everyone when I've gained so much weight. I hate having three extra chins. Must. Lose. Weight. Damn.

4) The increased boobage is nice, thought. Wish I could keep 'em when I get skinny again. (Note there's no "if" there: I will lose weight!)

5) Have a bit of a crush on someone. Being good and waiting to see if a good idea to date this person (not explaining WHY as may give away WHO) — assuming, of course, that this boy wants to date me. In any case, I'm tired of instigating things with guys. Am a catch (keep telling myself things like this), damn it. Will do my share but would like to be pursued already.

6) Headache increasing as typing progresses. Damn stealth hangover.

7) Went "camping" with my sister, BIL and nephew last week. Camping is in quotes as it's in a campground, yes, but an RV with a heater, hot water, toilet and a DVD player is not exactly roughing it. Had a fabulous time. Beautiful leaves, mountains, campfires, deelicious food on the grill, a hike around a lake. It was a good time.

Oh, also randomly ended up in a little town and randomly parked in front of this place. Scroll down and look at the line of stoves in the window. I'm in love! Want turquoise stove! Or the red one. Store was closed, though. Mean. But SO awesome! Just the window! Imagine if I'd gotten IN!

Okay, so here's a nephew anecdote. We were on our little hike around the lake, and I was babbling as usual. Saw a tree which had fallen over and said the whole if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound? thing, and without a beat my five-year-old nephew said "duh… thud" in this indignant little voice. Such a cutie.

8) My parents have that antibiotic-resistant staph infection. They're actually getting boils. Of course they are. Sigh.

9) One of my sisters and one of my BILs are taking chemo right now (not married to each other). Neither have cancer (weirdly enough: I thought that's what chemo was for), but definitely have scary things they're fighting off. Sigh again.

10) My brother's dog got out of the yard and disappeared on Halloween, but was found at Animal Control a few days later. My brother had been calling them and they said that they had no dog matching Jasper's description and he finally went to verify in person and found him. Yay animal control! (dumbasses) But whatever, happy ending and all that. I'm very happy Jasper is home.

BBS. Out of things to write! :)
