cold and hot
The Cold is going through our house… First Josh had it, then I caught it, along with our daughter.
What sucks though is that yesterday, we had to turn on the air conditioning.
Yes, you read that right. It was nearly 78 in the house yesterday, and the high yesterday was something like 83? With everyone being sick, the warm house was just extremely uncomfortable, so we switched the air on. What the hell happened to winter?? How sick is it that we needed to turn on the a/c in February?! I mean, shit, I have about a dozen warm toasty sleepers for my daughter that she won’t be able to wear because it just isn’t cold enough. 😕 Supposedly January was the warmest on record for us, and it seems to me that February is well on its way to doing the same. Bleh.
wtf?
Every time I turn around my damn blog has something that’s gone wonky with it… I am pretty sure comments were working before, but apparently they aren’t now.
Working to fix that while the little one sleeps…
..in the meantime, I think if you’re logged in you can comment, I tested that myself and was able to comment that way (deleted it though).
Not sure what is wrong, all the code is there but for some reason it isn’t being read. 😕
update: Comments should be fixed now… if you’re not logged in, you should be able to comment.
one squirming baby, comin’ right up
Yes, I’m still around. Been busy with the kidlet here… Typing with one hand is not as easy as one might think.
Anyway, Josh put up a web page with some pix, request it in the comments if you want it, but don’t worry if I don’t get back to you right away, I’m lucky if I get to check my email once every few days at this time.
Quick stats: Born 1/18/06 @ 3:17p.m., 8 lbs, 20.5” long.
take a nap
That was what was suggested to us by J’s best friend.
Oh that I could… But my nerves are keeping me wide awake.
We even tried staying up until almost five a.m. last night, and didn’t set the alarm, yet we still woke up shortly after 11 a.m. We had intended on sleeping as long as we could. Ha!
Remember way back when you were a kid, and how no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve? Well, I was like that, anyway. It was either no sleep, or it at least took forever to fall asleep, and then I was up before everyone else was to “peek” at what Santa left everyone under the tree… and snoop in my stocking.
That’s about how I feel today, that same level of anxiousness.
I think I’m going to go set up the pack-n-play in our bedroom. That’ll kill some time.
The countdown begins…
In less than 10 hrs, I will be checking into the hospital to be induced.
To say that I’m nervous about this whole thing is an extreme understatement.
I think it’s more due to the fact I’m scared something will go horribly wrong and I’ll need an emergency c-section or something.
Gah!
I need a pellet gun
I like animals. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles… I would own a couple of everything if it didn’t make me look crazy. The only thing you wouldn’t find gracing my homestead would be pet insects (you know, the giant tarantulas and scorpions - yuck!!). And I’ve previously owned almost all of those, I even had a rat at one point. The only one I haven’t owned personally was reptiles, but my brother had that covered. He owned a few lizards. Oh wait! A long time ago I had a couple of box turtles, too. Are those considered reptiles? Meh, I have no idea.
Anyway, I just wanted to preface this post with that before I go on to say, there are a couple of neighborhood dogs that need to be popped in the ass with a pellet gun. Or their owners do.
I hate waking up to incessant barking from a neighborhood dog. Every now and then the one directly behind us pulls that crap, but he/she is getting better at not doing it so much. The neighbors got him as a young pup but would leave him outside at night, and the barking and yipping was almost unbearable. A couple of times I was tempted to steal the damn dog and bring him inside my house just so he would stop barking and not be so lonely.
There’s also another dog somewhere, I’m not even sure which street he’s on but I am pretty sure it’s south of us, who barks practically non-stop for at least an hour in the mornings.
woof woof woof!
woof woof woof!
woof woof woof!
In triplets, just like that. And when you’re trying to get as much sleep as possible before a baby graces your presence? It’s FRICKIN ANNOYING!!
Our next door neigbhors have a pug. Even he gets in on the barking episodes. Only his are, “yap yap yap yap yap yap!”
Unfortunately, most of these animals probably pull this crap when their owners aren’t home, so I doubt they’re even aware their pets are doing this and annoying their neighbors. And I’m too chicken to go leaving notes on ppls doors saying, “hey, your dog barks practically non-stop when you’re not home, can you please look into ways to resolve this?”, so I guess I just have to continue to put up with it and bitch about it here. :cheese:
Seriously though, I wouldn’t actually go and shoot a dog with a pellet gun, that’s just not right. But I can certainly imagine it, if nothing but to satisfy my inner-evil twin..
fix’r up
J and his dad picked up a new battery for the VUE yesterday…
Next up is a new windshield on Tuesday, and then its long overdue oil change after that.
Usually we hit the milage on the recommended next service before the three month period, but since we haven’t been driving it, we surpassed the time period this time… We even got a letter from the dealer “reminding” us it was due for service. Hehe.
Gotta get it in working order before the baby comes, since I’ll be staying home longer than J will and will need a car after he goes back to work.
Then when I go back to work, I hope whatever mystery problem it had with just up and dying on the freeway for no apparent reason doesn’t come back to bite one of us in the ass (since one or the other of us will be driving it, the other one driving the ION, as we will not be on the same shift anymore).. If it does come back, that is going to be a royal PITA because last time when it did that, it didn’t trigger a flag in its computer so Saturn wasn’t able to “see” the problem when we took it to them…
upgrade quirk
And I just now notice a weird quirk after having upgraded to EE 1.4…. the posting date format is all wonky…
Time to go look for the problem an’ fix it. Heh.
Update: Wow, talk about some super sensitive software… I had an extra space in the code for the date stamp ever since I built the Valentine skin and its template and the previous version of EE read it just fine…. This version was choking on the extra space.
But the good news is, I figured out the problem without having to ask anyone at the EE forums for help. Yay!
If you see any other weird issues crop up since the upgrade, please let me know!
One ticket to Insanityville, please
Want to know how to drive me nuts in short order?
Record my co-worker speaking. And then play it back, looped forever.
I will bludgeon myself to unconsciousness with the nearest stick to escape it.
Ok, so maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but only a tiny bit. This person’s voice does start to grate on my nerves after a while.
I am SO looking forward to maternity leave… I’d rather listen to a screaming baby than my co-worker at this point.
No offense to this person or anything, certain sounds just get to me after a while. And today is one of those days.
antsy pants
The problem with working a half day is that you just don’t want to do anything while you’re there…
It’s worse when the half day you’re working happens to be on Christmas Eve, and the reason you took the half day was so that you could attend a Christmas party that evening.
At least we’re half way through our half day… three hours to go and we can leave! Yay!
