OOOHH!
It all makes sense now. Thank goodness I decided to read the instruction manual.

Annoying? Me?
February 16th, 2008
My poor husband. He’s in the family room on his laptop and has the television on. I’ll wander in there and sit down on the couch. I figure he’s not really paying attention to what he’s watching (ie: he’s watching basketball and I know he’s not a big basketball fan) so I ask if I can have the tv switcher so I can watch something different.
I’ll then remember something that needed to get done, like the dishes, and I’ll go do that. After the chore of the moment is finished I completely forget about the television and usually end up on the computer, or I’ll go read a book, or take a nap.
And there’s Husband, still in the family room, still watching whatever I forgot I was watching.
Right now he’s stuck watching Unbeatable Banzuke and the clicker is on the other side of the room. I should probably go back in there.

Best. Gift. Ever.
February 16th, 2008
“You stay put, hon. It’s Saturday.” As the husband rolls out of bed to take care of a hungry baby at 6:30 am.
Other awesome gifts include:
“I put my dishes in the dishwasher!”
and
“I took out the trash.”
and especially
“I’ll give MiMao Stink-Cat a bath.”

Pirates of the Burning Sea — Emo
February 12th, 2008
I was bored tonight so I sat around the dock and typed in random /<emote> commands to see what there was and what my avatar could do besides nautical acquisition and redistribution.
That is, until I found a semi-complete list. Harr, someone has way more time on their hands than I do.
I then did a bit of digging and found that ttobey is still adding emotes. When are we getting a compiled list, neh?!
After going through every emote I could think of I got the idea to make new captains. Famous captains. Captains like Planet, Caveman, Kangaroo, Crunch, Obvious…
But the captain I really wanted to be was Picard. And wouldn’t you know it? Someone was thinking along the same lines because the name was taken. I tried Kirk but he was taken too. So in a fit of selfishness I grabbed up Sisko and Janeway before they could be claimed.

Mr Husband came home from drill recently and asked, “What would you say if I told you I may be going to airborne school?”
“REALLY!?!? Oh shit I would be SOOOO JEALOUS!”
*puzzled look from Husband*
I don’t think that was the answer he was looking for. “How would you feel looking over the edge of a 300 foot tower knowing you have to jump while some asshole holds the end of your rope?”
As he’s speaking my eyes get progressively bigger and are positively twinkling by the end of his rant.
*Husband gives up*
He wants to transfer units so that he doesn’t have to drive 3 hours away every time he has a guard drill. But the 88M guys here in Omaha are all required to go to airborne school.
Mr Husband is pensive.
I’m green with envy.
I offered to go in his place, but I don’t think that one would fly.
Actually, I was going to say “that one would go over like a lead balloon” but after last week’s episode of Mythbusters…
*SIGH*

SwEEt!!
February 10th, 2008
I got my game. I GOT MY GAME! All right, admittedly I got it earlier in the week and have been playing it whenever I get a chance, but I’m only a level 6 n00blet pirate so it’s still new news.
Here begins the adventures of Captain Jolly Fustercluck and her ship The Barmy Mama. Yes, that’s where I got the idea for the handle. I wanted it to name my ship. I’m at that level of dorkdom.
P.S. I’m on the Guadalupe server if anyone else is playing. We can rape the horses, ride off on the women, and uh, plunder and… prune the hedges… of many small villages.

Full Circle

In line with the scavenger hunt subject: Go to Gym’s place to follow up on more of the expletive expo.
How much further can we pass this one around? lol
Side Note — Anyone know what is up with blogrolling.com lately? This hiccup of theirs is really slowing down my page’s load time.

I love my husband
February 9th, 2008
Mr Husband put his Staff Sergeant hat on and left early this morning to go to his monthly Mary Kay meeting Tupperware Party Army National Guard Drill, so once again I’m left holding the baby. Not that I’m complaining. It’s not a bad gig, really. I find plenty of things to keep me busy and not all of them involve spending money, thank you. Plus he needs time to escape and play with the other boys in the neighborhood from time to time. Seriously, they’re playing dodgeball this month for PT. o.O’
One of those things that keeps me busy is cooking, so I figured I would put together a batch of blueberry muffins. I preheated the oven and dumped the mix into the mixing bowl (Yes, it’s from a box. No, I’m not going to make them from scratch. I’m a decent chef and a good housewife but when it comes to muffins, Martha Stewart I am not.), and retrieved the milk from the refrigerator. Hmm… milk doesn’t feel so cold, I thought. I pour it into the measuring cup and it comes out in chunks. Oh goody! Cheese! Fridge is broke.
Turns out the ice box just needed defrosting. I saw this as an opportunity to clean out the refrigerator and disinfect it so I grabbed a laundry basket, filled it with all our food things and put the basket on our back porch (dude, it’s colder out there than it is in the fridge…). The maintenance man c
leared out the bits from the freezer and HUH between the ice trays was a slip of paper telling me to look between the FERN and FERN section of the old encyclopedia set my grandparents gave me. WTF?
Long story short: the husband set up a little scavenger hunt for me last night and somehow I managed to get through half the morning without noticing a single one of the twenty-seven slips of paper scattered around the house.
Awww! <3
