I Love Lists

I saw this blog idea here.

I thought it was a nifty noodle idea, so I'm snagging it as well. You are supposed to list one thing about 50 people you know. Here goes.

1. I thought you were crazy when I first met you. All you did was talk about guns.
2. The night we found out we both lived in Hawaii around the same time when we were kids and adopted each other (drunkenly) as long lost brother and sister was great.
3. You put me through more pain than any other person ever has, and I still don't really hate you.
4. I miss you a lot sometimes...we always had so much fun.
5. I wish we had been closer when you were alive. I feel like I missed out on a lot.
6. I LOVE your laugh. It never fails to crack me up.
7. God, how I wish I had never dated you.
8.I think you are quite possibly the most unfair person I ever met.
9 You need to take care of your kids, and stop dating young girls, you perv.
10. I miss our horror movie discussions.
11. Keep your bald head out of pregnant lady's vaginas.
12. Watch yourself around my husband or I will END you.
13. I hope our kids get to hang out sometime.
14. You are the most mellow person I've ever met. I want to see you angry.
15. Thanks for bringing me out of my shell. Petco sucks.
16. I am glad we're in touch again. We need to stay that way.
17. Where are you these days? I hope you cleaned yourself up.
18. Thank god you have 5 kids, as you are now my mentor.
19. You gave the best massages ever, as well as being one of the funniest people I've met.
20. I always wished we would become better friends. We never did...curse my shyness.
21. You have the biggest forehead...ever.
22. I'm sad for you. Break up with him already.
23. Why did you beat the crap out of your sister? I'm curious.
24. Get your own damn car!
25. You need to grow up, be a man, and take responsibility.
26. I'm so glad I didn't sleep with you, scumbag.
27. Yes, I did have a teensy crush on you. I think it was the tattoos.
28. You were my first kiss, and you scared the crap out of me leaping at my face like that.
29. You remind me of my husband, but in a totally platonic way.
30. How come you never hang out with us anymore?
31. I still want my money, dammit.
32. I like you, but you talk too much crap about others behind their backs.
33. Lighten up already, you look like a grumpy version of the Joker.
34. I love you to death and consider you my sister.
35. If I ever see you again I may very well beat the crap out of you. So watch out.
36. You are awesome. And have answers to all my fish questions.
37. I wish you had stayed, I never would have quit.
38. What a stupid thing to get fired for. I missed you when I went back to work and you weren't there anymore.
39. How did you stay so skinny after two kids??
40. I'm glad we grew out of that.
41. I miss the stupid crap we used to pull. Sure it was dumb, but SO much fun.
42. I liked you even though you are one of his exes.
43. I would like you a lot more if you could stand up for yourself.
44. You are goofy, but an ok guy.
45. I don't really know you that well, but we have a lot in common. We should talk more.
46. Are you SURE you are 100% straight?
47. Your voice irritates me.
48. I only met you once, but I think you are an awesome person.
49. I was so glad to finally meet you!
50. You were my best friend for like 10 years. I can't believe we lost touch.

Things To Come

Little One is sleeping now (oh, the miracle of swaddling) and I actually got a full(ish) night's sleep, so I'm feeling rather mellow right now.

You know what I can't wait for? When she is old enough to start reading. Because my child will be a reader. Or at least, I hope she will. Because there are so many awesome books I want to share with her. Stuff I read when I was little. Stuff I am reading now. And I hope that she loves books as much as her mommy, because TV is just no substitute for a good book. Now, I'm not one of those, "We won't have a TV in the house it rots your brain" type parents. But I think it sucks that not many people read actual books anymore. It seems like everything is being replaced by electronic devices.

It makes me sad.

Some people will never know the joy of re-reading a book you've read who knows how many times, just because the story and the characters are so awesome. Or smell that old book smell. Or know how great it is to find books from your childhood that you loved but had forgotten about. Or stay up all night reading because the book is so good that you just have to know what happens next.

So I hope my kid is a reader. I don't want her to miss out on the awesomeness that is books.

And does it make me a total dork that I just CANNOT wait for the last Harry Potter book to come out? And that I may have to find a babysitter for little one (or bribe the husband) so that I can go out and buy it at midnight and then stay up all night reading it, like I did with the last two books?

Maybe.

Oh well.

This is Great!!

I'm not much of a link poster, really, but you HAVE to watch this. It's freakin hilarious!

Stressness

It's been a tough couple of days.

The other half has been driving my bananas. He doesn't quite get why it upsets me that he can act like everything is the same (going out of the house whenever he wants, or even peeing or sleeping) meanwhile everything is totally different for me. Things like eating and sleeping are no longer something I can do whenever the urge takes me. I mean, there's no reason for us both to be housebound and suffering from cabin fever, but he just seems like he is trying to act like everything is the same as it was pre-baby, when it isn't. Ugh.

Little one has also settled into a routine of nightly fussiness where everything pisses her off. She even pisses herself off and then hollers about it. I don't think it's colic, as it doesn't seem to be bad enough to qualify, but it's still a little bit frustrating. I find myself wishing time would move a little faster, as it seems like this whole thing will get a bit easier. I know, wishful thinking. I know I have teething and the terrible twos and so on to get through, but I think just getting a few solid hours of sleep would make a lot of things easier at this point.

Does it qualify as postpartum if I cry very easily, or is that normal? Not that postpartum is un-normal, but you know what I mean.

*Sigh*

Mommy needs a drink.

Rocket Biscuits

The other half worked at KFC once, a few years back. One day (his last day, incidentally) he ran into a difficult customer. Those of you who have worked retail know the type-snotty, rude, and convinced they are SO much better than you.

Well, said customer pushed him just a bit to far. The following insued:

Hubby: Thank you for your order. Would you like to try our new rocket biscuits?

Customer: Rocket bicuits?

Hubby: *hurls biscuit into said customer's face*


How many of you have wanted to do something like this? I know I have.
