  • Am I Under The Weather? I Really Don't Know...

    I'm so freaking tired!

    But it's more than that.  I was achy--an after effect of gardening was my assumption--but after work yesterday, I went home, only to get the chills.  And I regularly suffer from heat flashes, so I put on my ugly (sexy) slippers, threw on a sweatshirt... but was still chilly.  So I went to bed and crawled under the covers to warm up.  Not surprising, but I dozed off... and slept for over 3 hours (with Little Miss Poppet snuggled tight against me)!  I woke up around 9 PM and stumbled downstairs.  Chris was home and had already eaten dinner, he told me he tried to wake me twice, thinking it worked the second time since I started to giggle, but stayed asleep.  I ate a little something, watched some TV, then went back to bed.  I read a bit but it didn't take me long to fall back to sleep, where I overslept (AGAIN!) this morning.  So besides being achy and tired, there aren't any other symptoms.

    Hmm...

  • Mary, Mary Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?

    Planting bulbs for next year is just too much work.  My husband picked out six different kinds of bulbs that bloom at three different times in the season.  So as I was trying to figure out how to space out the bulbs so that there would be, in theory, constant bloomage, taking into consideration the height of the bloom, the depth they needed to be planted, and how far apart they needed to be from the other bulbs.  And I kept uprooting earthworms that I would have to stick back down in the soil and hope I hadn't accidently chopped them in half while digging.

    Who are these nut jobs that like to work in their gardens?  Could they come over to my house?

    My back is wreaking havoc today--paying me back for stooping over in the flower bed yesterday.  I need one of those shiatsu chairs to massage the kink out of my back.  And there are still bulbs that need to be planted.  And I'm thinking about just digging a trench in the flowerbed with the shovel rather than digging holes with a spade.  Then I would just dump the rest of the bulbs in the trench and let them duke it out to see who gets to bloom.  That would be my gardening solution.

  • New Moon! You Saw Me Standing Alone...

    So, you're gonna laugh, but after getting to the movie theater around 8 PM last night and saving 6 seats praying no one would want to encroach because I don't think I could be forceful enough to stand my ground and keep those seats, Nutmeg got there shortly after 8:30.  That left us holding 3 seats each which was much more manageable.  When the others showed up around 10:30, I was no longer stressing.  By then I had a lot of soda (Marte + sugar + caffeine = hyper child mode) and was standing, bouncing around.  Midnight finally arrived--I think I may have peed a little--and the previews began.  After what seemed like five minutes for the New Moon logo to be revealed, the movie started... and the film caught on fire!  Yup!  Which just meant that I had more soda... (Strong coffee/Shirley Temples/wine coolers all have the same affect on me--I turn into a hyper child, bouncing around, and giggling giggling giggling...)

    So our Midnight showing of New Moon "began" at 1:30 am and ended around 3:30 am.  Nutmeg and Jack-Jack had an early morning so they ended up leaving and were refunded their tickets and Steph left, also having her ticket refunded.  I HAD to stay--I ♥ me some vampires!

About Me

  • What can I say? I'm a theatre person so I'm naturally odd, which explains a lot! Almost all of my friends are theatre people as well, they understand me better. My mostest-wonderfulest-husband-in-the-world, Chris, is not a theatre person... and married me anyway! For now, I'll find refuge in the theatre!

    @MEluvCH - Same here. I can't wait to see how they do the third movie!
  • MEluvCH
    @thefantasticpamtastic - The books are WAY better! The first movie was rather cheesy, but I have high hopes for the second movie! The third book is my favorite in the series...

    Hi! I got here from the Been Better comic and saw your comment with the New Moon movie poster. I love the Twilight series. I think the books are better than the movie though.
  • MEluvCH
    @casmarie - Yeah, I'm slightly addicted. And before that it was the Mamma Mia movie... and before that it was Alan Rickman... I just have various spurts of addictions...

    Hi! I got here from Jonathan's Introduce Yourself entry. Thought I'd say hi. It appears you're a Twilight fan. I've not read the books or seen the movie.
