Soo.. I joined the masses, and bought powerball tickets today. Yep. I did. Frugal me, who doesn't like to waste much money at all, bought TEN DOLLARS worth of powerball. !!!!! The odd thing was I used my debit card (of course) and the guy kept the receipt, sticking it in the drawer. Do people get receipts with powerball purchases? I haven't bought a ticket in so long, I can't remember.

(edit - and I won jack!) lol

stupid
adj 1: lacking or marked by lack of intellectual acuity [ant: smart]
n : a person who is not very bright: "The economy, stupid!"
[syn: stupid person, dullard, dolt, pudding head,
pudden-head, poor fish]

Example: When you wait until February to take down your Christmas lights, the big ones that you just put out for the first time since buying them 2 years ago, and then, because you are always the procrastinator at everything you do, put them in a big pile on the garage floor instead of back into the attic. After which, upon return from work the next day, you DRIVE INTO THE GARAGE ONTO SAID PILE OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.

Yes. I really did that. (You would be amazed at the amount of glass those bulbs put out when so many of them shatter.)

HA HA HA..

My kids leave Friday afternoon for the beach. For a week! They are going with their grandparents - they go every year. On the one hand, yes I will miss them. On the other - YAY!!! I want to paint Corbin's room and redo it. For a long time now, it's been the playroom, FILLED with toys. You can barely open the door. I want to go thru there, sort it, paint the room, set the bed up, (it's a CAR bed!) and everything, so that when he comes back, he will be so thrilled! (Yes, he loves surprises. It's Jacob who doesn't.) So I want to do that as a surprise for himm, in a race car theme, with checkered flags and stripes on the wall. I even bought him a tire toybox, lol. Plus a new spongebob tv for his room as well.

They leave Friday afternoon! (tomorrow! around 4!) I can't wait to start.

Lately, I have been absent-minded. Not absent-minded, like I've forgotten a few things, but absent-minded like I am completely off my rocker. Moron with a capital M. You know, where if someone just met me, they would think I'm inbred.


The other day, I was getting ready to go somewhere, and was talking to JD on my cell phone. Grabbing my keys and my purse, but I couldn't find my phone, and said so. JD said something like "uhhh... you're talking on it?!?" Okay, yeah, that's a big freaking capital L for loser.

Tonight, the boys and I drove down to South Carolina to go to the Charlotte Knights baseball game. It was a cub scout event, where the scouts meet and sit together, and then watch a movie onthe field after the game and spend the night on the field in tents and sleeping bags etc. Yeah, so on the way there I am on the cell phone with someone and they mention something about how it's NOT a home game tonight? What? Turns out the game was LAST night. We completely missed it. I totally spaced on reading the email and connecting that the 22nd was Friday and not Saturday. Duh.

I am SUCH a freaking moron.

During a conversation with way2tired, he commented on cats that can't spell. I had no idea of what he was talking about. His words: where the hell have you been the last 10 years. its like you stepped out of life in 1999, and just recently stepped back in.

That being said, I checked out the link he sent me. OMG I'm getting cramps from laughing so hard. My favorites...

If you've been to my house, you know I'm not a gardener. To put it bluntly, my lawn looks like crap. But I didn't think it was too bad. Til the other day - while walking in my neighborhood, my dad and I passed a house with a "yard of the month" sign in it. My dad turned to me and said "There's something you'll never get. Are you in the running for eyesore of the month?"

Corbin is 7 today! Yay! Happy Birthday to my kid. Tradition - no rules for this day. He can watch whatever he wants to on tv. Have whatever he wants for lunch, etc. And he gets to pick out the restaurant for dinner. Now, this year is a bit different, since his birthday party is at his dads house and not mine, and there is a cookout there tonight for dinner. So I think I will take him out for wherever he wants for lunch. My parents are driving down for the day too and bringing Corbin's cousin whom he absolutely adores. My "schedule czar" brought it to my attention that I have double-booked tonight and the following Wednesday, so I must change my plans around a bit much to accomodate all this!! I have a friend who I've never met before (only online) and she is coming to town soon!! Yay!!! Can't wait to meet her next week.

Anyway - that's the update here. Tune in next week for more boring news!!! LOL

Ha ha
! I love it when kids say weird things. So corbin's asthma has been acting up really bad all day yesterday and this morning. I gave him some medicine a little while ago in addition to his albuterol.

anyway, just now, while laying down, all of a sudden he yells 'Hey I have air now!'. ?? What? you have a bear? "No, I have AIR now!!" Meaning he can breathe, heh. It was cute.

There is soooooo much talent in this world that would go to waste if it wasn't for tv and youtube.

For those out in cyber land who I've been ignoring...

I got a new computer! After 3 weeks of turtleness, I thought I was going out of my mind.

Yay for the yummy newness. Boo for the dwindling bank account.

On a sad note, less than 24 hours after I bought said computer, L posted on her blog that she was putting her "old" computer up for sale as she had a newer one. Rats!!

Ah well. I'm having mucho fun with mine. 19" lcd monitor. Ahh, I'm feeling like me again.

So, for those of you who have spoken on the phone with me recently, you know my 'good' computer is a piece of crap right now, and hasn't really been working for two weeks or so. Running at 100% cpu most of the time. So I've had to use my crappy one the few times I've checked email or LJ. My spologies for those friends who think I am ignoring them! Really, I am not.

And when I say crappy computer, I mean so in the nicest way. (please don't break on me baby! *taps monitor gently*) Slooooow. I mean, it's got less than a 10gb hard drive and the processor is slow. But it's my backup for emergency purposes. And this qualifies. My other one? *sighs* First it was a supplemental power connector on the graphics card. Then something with an outdated driver. Next it was a conflict with automatic upgrades and office or something like that. Then it was a non-working cd drive. What now? Still don't know. Got the cpu down to about 30% to 60%, unless I open up IE or mozilla. Then it's 100%. *sighs* Oh, and now? Now the HD is making funny noises. Gr-e-a-a-a-t. Just great. *SIGHS* I give.

For those of you who I've 'abandoned' - don't despair! While I am in Cary this weekend, I am planning on picking up my dad's old computer, which is newer than this one. No working soundcard, but hey, it will be better.

Great Day = When you feel accomplished after doing something. Example: Cleaning my sons bedroom, and washing ALL of their comforters, blankets, pillows, etc. Wow, it smelled nice in there!

Not so Great Day = When you feel accomplished after doing something and it all goes to shit. Example: See above, and add child #1 feels sicks and throws up over aLL the comforters and most of the pillows that were just washed. Chunky liquidy my god how big is his stomach throwup.

Really Crappy Not so Great Day = And you thought his stomach his big. My god, there's stuff coming from the other end! Holy Crap, child, get to the bathroom!... What's that? No toilet tissue? You used a towel? Oh my god.

Edit: REALLY CRAPPY NOT SO GREAT DAY TO THE EXTREME Ohmigod. What is this trail leading to the other bathroom?!? It's brown. Ohmigod. You have got to be kidding me...

I am pilfering this from way2tired...

Am having the weirdest night. It's like my brain and my eyes are not communicating. Several times now, I've thought I was at my parents house on their computer, when clearly I am in my own room. It's like for a brief one-tenth of a millionth second, I've thought I was in a different city.

It's the oddest feeling when it's happens, and it's happened several times now. Huh. Almost like I was on drugs, or having a flashback or something... I had mushrooms at dinner, think they were special? lol

So for a while I have been a receipt saver. Even had one special drawer where they all went. I don't know why, other than to exchange some Christmas presents. It was just habit.

The other day, Jacob asked why I was saving all these receipts. No good answer for him. So this past week, instead of chucking my receipts into the drawer, I chucked them into the trash. Yay for paperless and clutter-free ness!

Today I used my weedeater/edger for the first time, having bought a brand new one two days ago. It quit working halfway thru. I can only take it back to the store WITH a receipt, otherwise I have to ship it direct to the company for repair.

Where's the receipt? In the drawer? Noooo. The receipt is in the trash. Of course. OF COURSE. Boo for paperless and clutter-free ness. I am SO going back to my receipt pack-ratness in the one drawer.
