I'm a follower.

There aren't many times when people (including me) type LOL and actually mean it. This shit made me laugh OUT LOUD. So loud that it actually promtped "What's going on in there?" from the other room. If I were creative enough to make my own (I know there are pix of Rox that are caption-worthy) it would probably make my head explode to type that stupid language.

Sumbudee sez dis iz a job fer da grammer pleece. *bang*

Ahh, it's been a good day. I've been surfing, reading what Tia has to say, then of course, reading what all of her followers said about what she said, and then, surfing over to some links like like cheeszburger and twenty-something. This makes me laugh because in a few short months I will no longer be twenty-something.

I'm gonna go see if sick husband wants some tea. Then I'm gonna come back here and see if there ain't some more people I could become a fan of.

Bitch, please.

Somebody recently said to me: "You're really doing well. You're working up to your potential. You're doing what I knew you were capable of. I'm proud of you."

What??

You would think I would take this as a compliment... and if it were really a compliment I would take it as such. But it's not. It's a veiled way of saying, "You are getting good at being my bitch. Oh, and don't fuck it up."

Bitch, you don't know me! I could do YOUR job... hell, give me a couple weeks and I'll be doing it better and faster!

It's time again.

I'm not going to put off doing our taxes this year. That's because this year, I should be getting a refund instead of owing. I'm sore afraid because the numbers are what they are and if it comes out bad I'm gonna be really upset. I'm still skeptical about that BS from last year, because I have never owed, ever. But hey I guess shit happens and hopefully by changing our filing status we will have averted another tragedy.

Still gotta get those local taxes straightened out though. Stupid Ridgeville only gives us 10% of 1% credit toward what we pay to the city we work in. Which is like 5 dollars or something. Lame.

Anyhoo, wish me luck!

Mmm...

So, yeah. Everyone knows that Nick is a great cook, but today we ate the best thing in the whole world. I flipped over to the food network about noon today and saw a woman stuffing chicken mixed with sour cream and some other stuff I didn't recognize into a giant noodle. After all noodles were stuffed she said, "Then, we pour on the cheese sauce." Now, the reason this meal is post-worthy is that as soon as she started to pour the cheese, I was up off the couch and in here on the computer trying to find the recipe. I knew I had to have it, and I know that Nick is always up for trying out new recipes and just about anything that lets him get his foodie on.

Here it is:

It's quite a bit of work (maybe I just think so because the most complicated thing I ever make is breakfast) but it's totally worth it.

Douchebags

I think I'm done stalking the message boards at thebump.com. It used to be full of information, with people asking for tips and advice, but not recently. Lately, if you're not a regular who stays on there all day then no one will respond to your posts. Or, if you're new and ask a question about something that they think is common knowledge, they will call you a douchebag and tell you you're stupid.

One funny thing I did get from a message on there is a quote from someone's signature:

"If one more person tells me to "just relax and it will happen" I'm going to tear off their head and throw it over the fence."

That just about sums up how I feel today. I guess some people just don't get my frustration: for once in my life I know exactly what I want, but for SIX months I have been unable to have it. People have been more impatient over less! Say someone were waiting for something really important to them, like money. And then say this person had been waiting six months to get it, and didn't know when it was coming, AND wasn't 100% sure that it would EVER come... would they be faulted for being impatient? Would they be told to "relax, and it would happen eventually?"

I realize that I don't have a lot of the problems that some people have. I haven't been diagnosed with any problems, my cycles are regular, I'm realativley young... but just because I don't have any problems that have official names, that doesn't mean I don't have issues.

Oh and by the way:

I dont care how long it took you to get pregnant.
I REALLY don't care that it just takes time.
I realize everyone is different. I'm trying to get pregnant... I'm not mentally retarded.
And I don't care if you think I'm being irrational.

Thought.

Got an email from my grandma today, and whoever it was that forwarded it to her said:
"And you tho't the Harlem Globetrotters could handle a ball!"

I find it ironic that the three letters taken out of this word are the exact letters used to express disgust. Ugh is right.

Chicago!

We're planning a trip to Chicago in April, kind of for our anniversary, but mostly because Nick's never been and we want to have a vacation that's just the two of us before a baby comes. As much as I bitch about how I've been wanting to get knocked up and how it's been almost six months and I feel like it will never happen, I'm optimistic that it will be soon. So, I've been trying to look for activites that will still be fun when I'm fat.

As of right now: (notice - lots of food)
Leaving Thursday April 9th
Friday: weather permitting: the Lincoln Park Zoo (it's free!), Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza, visiting Navy Pier, a boat tour - one that goes up thru the city, and possibly includes lunch or dinner
Saturday: Sears or Hancock tower (not sure which), maybe a museum, Buckingham Fountain, Fogo de Chao (a Brazilian steakhouse - thanks for the tip, Jen!)
Sunday: sleeping late, driving home
