Sometimes, I want to pound my head into a wall....
 
Goblin King, Goblin King, wherever you may be, take this child of mine, far away from me
 
Dust...Please.

Needing this Passport to hurry it up. :)
 
I have successfully fallen in love with a house. Truly. Madly. Deeply. I am trying so very hard to be objective, but it's proving to be difficult.

Only problem? It's slightly higher than our budget. The realtor told me there was some room for negotiations, but I doubt it would be as low as our maximum budget. Blah.
 
hehe...Freddy Kruger showed up early this year for Halloween. Every year someone dresses up as Freddy Kruger and stands in a place he can pop out when we're walking into our building at work. He has candy! It's cool, and he's catching us off guard this year, showing up today and not tomorrow!

Ooohhhh....Well, you know what they say...doesn't hurt to ask! Good luck! I know what it's like to find the perfect house!
 
Ahhh the monthly migraine is here.
 
Whoever invented gold fish should be both shot and revered. Sigh. There's just something about them...... mmmmm

:nono: Sometimes I just don't understand the way that things happen. Horrible, my heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the family for such a terrible and unjust loss. ;(

Funny, though, how things such as this put other things into perspective- realize that the stuff that you think really matters doesn't.
 
20 credit hours is never a good idea.

22?? I couldn't even imagine! How many different classes was it? I'm in 6, 5 in class, and 1 is totally online.
 
If I sing loud enough in my head, do you think it'll make annoying sounds less annoying?

BIG hugs, Kama. I have been there, for sure.
I hope it works out for you! House dust!!!!
 
I miss feeling like I have a home in the States. VA was "home" for a long time because I had ties there - college, ex-BF and his family/friends, my friends....but my friends are either leaving VA or fading away, ex and I broke up (obviously) and his family...well, that's a complicated emotional issue right now, and losing all of them at once means I don't have that homey feeling anymore. But I'm listening to my favourite band (a band ex went to high school with and I've met through him several times), and it's making me miss it and it's killing me because I know it will never, ever be the same again. I've never lost a place this thouroughly this suddenly, and it's really difficult to deal with.
 
My MIL who has spent the last year while she was in the nursing home calling and yelling at me about how horrible I am, has been out on her own now for a couple months. She, for the first time in about 3 years, called this morning and left a message on the machine while we were out wishing me a happy birthday. Got sidetracked and hadn't called her back to thank her-and she just called again to tell me she has a card and a present there for me. :o We even had a nice conversation, and that was also probably the first time in..well I couldn't tell you the last time we had a nice conversation..couple years at least.

Wow Packrat, that's quite a change in attitude! A little puzzling, but it must be nice not to be yelled at anymore lol. Maybe she's more pleasant because she's happy to be back in her home? I hope her good mood continues!
 
I know, isn't that crazy? The only thing I can think of to explain it is that she wasn't taking care of herself (self medicating etc) and we used to fight tooth and nail because of it-she almost died 3 times, and that's how she ended up in the nursing home. She hated it, but taking her meds properly and getting the infections out of her seem to have..cleared her mind I guess? I don't know how long it will last, but it's gone longer this round than the previous times, and she is desperate not to go back to the nursing home, so maybe this is a new leaf for her. I'll just ride along and see how it goes I guess!
 
I'm still in Mississippi. I thought I was going home Sunday. I'm not. I'm stuck until Thursday and then have to go to a client meeting in NC next Friday. By the time I get home, I will have been gone for 12 days and was only supposed to be gone for four. I miss my DH. :blackeye:

I will be thankful for the day when I have a job that doesn't take control of my life.
 
The perfect way to end October.

Princess, I'm really sorry to hear this. I would feel the same way you do if I suddenly lost the place that I call 'home'. It wasn't just your home, it was the place where you probably felt most safe, comfortable and happy too. That's really tough to have something like that just suddenly removed from your life. I hope everything turns out for you and wish you the best----I'll keep you in my thoughts.
 
What goes around comes around...

Last week, DH gets a call from one of his friend's mom... she had had a leak in her upstairs bathroom, and had a plumber fix it. However, he left a hole in her dining room ceiling. She asked if DH could patch up the ceiling... no prob, he says, and goes over that day to patch it. He probably only spent 20 bucks, and it's a really good friend of his, and the woman had just recently lost her husband, and my DH was not expecting any $$ at all from her. But she forced him to take a check, stating that she knows we could use it, with a baby on the way, etc... so he took it. The check was for well over 20 bucks.

What happens today?? We've got a leak, from our dining room ceiling (our bathroom is above our DR also). :o What a coincidence!!
 
WOOHOO! I just got a call from my good buddy Leonardo DiCaprio. He was asking a favor for next Tuesday.

Unfortunately it was a rather one-sided conversation. ;(
 
So as I stated above, I've been gone from home for days and won't be home for days yet.

I'm not supposed to know, but my DH is coming to see me! I am SO SO SO excited.

But my co-worker has a big mouth and can't keep a secret. I have to fake surprise now.
 
I spent way way wayyyy too much money on makeup during the Sephora family & friends sale. WAY too much....

help me justify this!! haha!
 
My parents didn't even come in for Halloween tonight. I shouldn't let things like that get to me b/c they're hardly ever here anyway, and when they do stop it's 10 minutes, hi/bye, but still, it does. My brother came in and walked with us, and then stayed for supper.
 
I bought three small bags of candy for trick-or-treaters.

Not one trick-or-treater came by tonight. This is what I get for not making friends with the neighbors and asking if people actually do this stuff in my apartment building.

I'll be bringing it all to work tomorrow. No self-control here!

That's great April! It's something to look forward to, and it will (hopefully) make the days go by quicker.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you had (or were going to) give your notice at work because of their demands and all the traveling you've had to do. Did you change your mind?
