I caught the blasted "norovirus" this weekend at some point and spent yesterday in living hell. Today, I feel a bit better and I haven't thrown up or anything, but I feel like my body was beaten. I'm so sore!

I need a job. I have a couple things in mind. I am planning on trying to go to school this Fall. My therapist is insane. My shrink weighs me so I hate her. Perhaps the Sars helped me drop a couple of pounds so the scale won't be as mean to me on Friday. We'll see.

I am in love with my camera. I am trying to resize some of my favorite pictures and put them up on Flickr. Add me there as a contact if you have it, por favor.

Oxygen will donate $1 for every person who signs up in this campaign. The purpose specifically is helping the evacuated families that have been relocated to Texas due to the disaster and they need help in any way they can get it. Oxygen is doing a wonderful thing with this campaign. Filling the form out only takes a second and it only asks for your name and your zipcode. I don't give a crap if you make up an email address. But to be able to help out with a click of your mouse and 4 text boxes is wonderful. I honestly can't imagine why anyone WOULDN'T want to do it.

LYZI HAD HER BABY THIS MORNING @ 2:07 AM!!!!!!!

His name is Grant Alexander R***!

He is 6 lbs. 11 oz. and 19 inches. Quite a bit of blackish dark hair and light blue eyes! (In terms of size he is right in the middle of Adrian and Eden's birth measurements.)

Things are going very, very well so far (other than some unpleasant nausea on Lyzi's part) and he is a pretty relaxed baby and looks a whole lot like Edie!

Lyzi will probably post the link to his photo on the baby website in her own journal unless she asks me to do so before then.  I will leave the birth story and any details of that sort to her to post also because that is her personal business and all. ;) If you have any messages you would like me to pass along to her today, post them here and I will relay them when we speak again. :)

Working on selling some of my stuff on Ebay so I can afford some stuff I want/need. My auction pages look pretty good considering I'd never put one together before. Easier than I thought other than the issue with not being able to use my images via photobucket. I think Ebay just wanted to steal 30 cents from me. Grr.

Wanna see the stuff I am selling?

Take a look and if you need/want:

NY and Co. Pink "B" Bag

Steve Madden Black Bag

I will be putting up later today this stuff:

white wire candle chest thing

size 10.5 or 11 sneakers for little boys

size 2.5 shoes (brown oxford type) for girls

I have pictures uploaded of the shoes so if you are interested they are behind this cut. Let me know if you wanna buy them from me directly before I list them. I am cool with that.
( Shoesssssss. )

I normally don't post news stuff (or public stuff, period) in here but this case suddenly breaks my heart...

I am 99% "Friend's Only" for a reason.

Trolls, be gone.

May it be known that I am not a fan of oatmeal. On a few varied occasions in my life I have consumed a bit of the glop, but I didn't inhale enjoy it. Yesterday morning when I tried to throw out the contents in a bowl of oatmeal (I made it for Tony and we forgot it on our way out the door, so I threw it out after I was back home.), my decision to not eat the crap was reaffirmed. It freaking came out of the bowl in one giant gloppy, apples and cinnamon flavored, bowl shaped blob. Dis-freaking-gusting. You can only imagine what it must be doing inside the stomachs of people who eat it. *twitch* My experience with this morning's bowl of oatmeal was just as disheartening. It flowed over the edge of the bowl and glooped all over the microwave glass turntable. Mmm. Crusty.

My back is all creaky from doing much of the dishes. Good Lord, we have a lot of kitchen crap. A cup of strawberry ice cream is a nice reward for my efforts to make the house look less Sanford and Son-like, no? :)

There's this hokey teeny bopper show on in the living room that I remember watching when it was a real live series and not a crappy re-run in the middle of the day. California Dreams. When I was younger, I had the biggest crush on the actor who plays Jake. Apparently Jay Anthony Franke (the actor), stopped acting after the series and began a career as a programmer. This in itself is not a bad thing, seeing as how I obviously like geeks. But, seeing what 8 years and 8 years worth of Guinness pints does to a man is a scary, scary thing. I cannot wait till my 10 year High School reunion. :)
