Three Point Status Report→[More:]1. It is freakin' COLD in NYC. DAYAMN!
2. The weekend schedule is light- baby shower on Saturday for my pastors, hurray!!
3. Thanks to all bunnies who let me vent last night in #bunnies! You're all very nice!
1. I have to work tomorrow- BOO!
2. But I'm going to a Flickr buddy's photo show "opening" tonight, which'll be fun.
3. Today's sinus crap update: it's in my ears again.
1. To reiterate TPS: it is FREAKIN' COLD here (-3 with wind chill)
2. My friend T. gets here in 6 hours, yay!
3. I just discovered (well, not discovered but finally looked at) fitday and now I'm addicted.
1) Thursday Night - 2:00am - Gall Bladder Attack - mucho pain, little sleep
2) Friday Night - 12:00am - First ever migraine (I think that's what it was) worst headache EVER. Scared, little sleep.
3) Monday morning - 9:00am - appointment with doctor. Whew.
1.I'm not sure how cold it is with the wind chill figured in (17 mph winds, with much stronger gusts every now and then), but it's warmed up considerably since earlier this morning (4°), and is hovering at a comfortable 10°F.
2. I'm debating whether or not to go to physics in such weather. I can't imagine sitting in a crowded lecture hall with a shirt, poloshirt, sweatshirt, coat, and extra-heavy winter coat on would be very comfortable, either, and I'd have a hell of a time trying to find a place to put all those layers if I wanted to take them off.
3. I'm eating Maruchan Instant Lunch. Beef flavor. It's not very good, but it fills you up. I think.
1. Stop calling me a crypto-misogynist, you punk-ass busta, or I'll sew your asshole closed, and keep feedin' ya, and feedin' ya, and feedin ya'...
2. Tomorrow will be my first day off in a couple weeks. The plan is to go to the park, and bring either the dog, the bike or both.
3. Where the hell did I put my phone?
1. I had my hair cut today. Exactly like this again. I was thinking about having it cut short, don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb, but I love how it looks when it's properly styled.
2. I just had a nap on the sofa.
3. I love working at home, especially on a Friday.
1. Went to the local bar the other night, and the bartender already had three Irish Carbombs ready when I went up to order. We're regulars!
2. I my first knitted scarf to a friend and he loves it!
3. I justrealized how potentially offensive the name of that drink is.
1: Huge-ass project almost done.
2: Going into work tomorrow to swap old crappy intranet for new, spangly one
3: Very excited and/or nervous. This means I'll get very little sleep again tonight.
1: 17 f when I got up this morning.
2: My daughter will be with us this weekend, which is always fun.
3: I don't think my boss likes me, but he does seem to respect my work.
1. Extras with Daniel Radcliff was ridiculously hilarious.
2. I don't feel like working although I have one big thing I should be doing.
3. I kicked ass at work this week even though I had the stomach flu and my skin is about to fall off because as previously noted above it is very cold in NYC. The cold in NYC reminds me of Minnesota though and that makes me v. happy.
1. The horrible designer finally gave me the address for the storage company after getting another letter from the lawyer--and it turns out it's the original company who was supposed to pick up the appliances last year (she claimed she was on the phone for six hours trying to find a place able to store the woodwork).
2.I've made up a to-do list and am slowly beginning to shrink it.
3.I haven't been sleeping well lately.
1. Eating fondue tomorrow night and then a special showing of The Holy Grail.
2. Relying on my sugar momma for some booze and lovin' tonight as tr33 is dead broke.
3. Happy to be back here a little bit more these days - so many missed threads, and so many new bunnies!
1.Hi, tr33hggr!
2.I like your hair, jan!
3. *sigh* Nothing much going on with me except my hugeness. I'm 5'3" with no torso (my ribs basically rest on my hips) and am carrying the offspring of a 6'7" behemoth. Hence, the baby has nowhere to go but straight out. It looks like it's trying to escape by piloting the Hindenberg out through my navel. My husband keeps giving me "the look," which is this odd combination of sincere pity and great pride.
I'm scheduled for a c-section 3/9, jan. So, I'm nowhere near as big as I'm going to be. You were so right when you said "rabies before babies." I should have listened!
1. Grocery shopping is done
2. Feeling crappy again plus a headache seems to have taken up permanent residence
3. It's a beautiful day and I don't want to spend it napping but I'm going to have to if I want to feel better
1. Having a drink.
2. Had to open a strange thick plastic bottle of pom juice with a large knife as the cap would not be undone.
3. Feeling kind of ornery so i'm listening to various bunny downloads.
1. Death by job interviews, but at least there are a few of them going on.
2. I'll probably have to end up choosing between a really well-paying job that's pretty soulless and something totally cool that is only part-time to start, but is a great place to work and start with.
3. The seminar I helped with went well last night, and the production/artistic director of the local paper here had a good time. He liked me, and is the one looking for an assistant, so I've really got a good shot at this. All these years of networking have paid off, it seems (with help from facilitatrix!) (The paper is the Georgia Straight, and the artist/director is Mark "Atomos" Pilon.) I really hope this works!
It looks like it's trying to escape by piloting the Hindenberg out through my navel.
I have this mental picture of Stewie from Family Guy, as he'd do something like that. "Difficult? YOU try getting a MIG welder up here!"
1. Negotiations are in process re my daughter and my parents
2. My son called last night-he got accepted to a summer research thingee in Boston this summer-for six weeks he gets to work at JFK Library. He's pretty stoked.
3. I went to Sam's club AND Walmart today and still have a shred of sanity.
1. I took the day off from work. Yay!
2. Freakin' cold here -- but I love the cold!
3. Hubby not feeling so well, so I am bailing on the Boston meetup tonight. :-(
Thinking of making another batch of Chocolate Fudge today.
Have to go out for a couple of Job Prospects and an evening viewing of Happy Feet.
Might end the day with a drive-thru at KFC. Let's see what happens.
