don't mind me, just mumbling and grumbling

March 6th, 2009 // Rambling // 3 comments

Yesterday and frantically this morning, I tried to register my beloved domain name. My caotica.net. Only to find that the company that owns it under my friends account renewed it even though he hasn’t paid his bill and his account has been closed! ARGH!

So now I’m facebook pestering everybody.

I waited a friggin year for it and I refuse to wait another year because of some little mixup. But I can’t do much until my friend gets back to me and I’m sure he’s terribly busy with coursework and other such things.

I’ve been searching for other names but something sticks. Nothing fits like mine does. Did. Erinism.org is the closest thing I can come up with and I’m not sold on it either. I’m acting like Jasbaz when we bring her a babydoll but it’s not the one she wants! =O

Such a frivolous thing to be upset about when there are people going hungry on the other side of the world, people here losing their homes, slaughter and fear in the Middle East, et cetera. Crazy old world.

But I still feel like complaining a little. At least it’s really pretty outside today. And my BIL made it safely to the states. And I’m not sick. No one in my family is sick. We still have our house. And our car. And food in the refrigerator, although mostly the food that you buy and then never really want to eat so you save it for moments when you can’t go to the grocery store, like this moment. Why we have three cans of tomato paste is beyond me.

I think that’s one of the signs that you’re doing well. You have food in your cupboards that you don’t understand why you have. At my parents house I used to wonder why on earth we had cans of tomato paste in the pantry because I never, ever saw them use it. They’d just sit there, year after year. They are probably still there! And now we have three cans of our own. Very strange.

But you want to know what is most upsetting? We have no sugar in the house. I used it up making fudge and now I want to make date bars and cakes, but we have no sugar! I’ve got five dollars so maybe I’ll be able to pick up a little one after taking Kayla to the vet for her checkup. We’ll see. I also need gas.

And here I am complaining about a domain name! My priorities are whacked, yall.


i can has arts?

I’m thinking of installing an Oekaki board when I get my domain all set up. And this was one that I could find… thoughts, anyone?


my brain is spazzing out

- The past two days have been unusual. Not much to talk about except for an overload of hormones. Bleh. And crazy work shenanigans.

– Jas is now addicted to playing Ring Around The Rosy. Every morning she’ll grab my hands, start walking us into a circle and saying “Ashes Ashes!”. So then we’ll do it right and she just dies with laughter. She loves that.

– I finally saw La Jeux D’Enfants a week ago. I downloaded it off Itunes since I’ve never made it to the movie store that actually carries foreign movies. AWESOME MOVIE. I knew I’d like it, but it was nice realizing that I really did like it. Sometimes you can overhype movies and I was worried that I would do it to that one.

– The one part I don’t like about the movie was the ending. And I don’t want to spoil it even though the movie is set up similar to Romeo and Juliet in that you see the ending before the movie gets started, but still. Concrete? Really? My love of romantic movies cannot ford that as a romantic ending. That’s a tall order.

– I’ve spent an hour scouring my archives looking for the post that I linked to the Amelie movies in and I have no idea where it is. The search continues.

- Today is Wednesday. Tomorrow is Thursday. THURSDAY!

- My Brother-In-Law is on his way back from his tour in Afghanistan. It will be great to see him again. And have him help Andy drain the water bed to put in the water bed heater I bought a few weeks ago.

– My morning glories are getting so tall, my moonflowers too. Caitlin would be proud. I need to make some popsicle stick crosses though so that they can drape and crawl up them.

– I’m mad at the asshole from Lowes last year who insisted that everybody who is anybody buys seeds in January. So my fool self has fully fledged seedlings ready to be planted in the ground a month and a half early.

– I feel flighty.

– I just got hit on by one of our repeat customers. And I’m pretty dense when it comes to this sort of thing usually, but he full on attempted to ask me out knowing that I have a kid and partner already. I laughed at him. Because really. The answer is no. Why do people misinterpret my politeness for something more? Gross. He got all caught up in his bravado when I was trying to emphasize ‘No, not an option.’ =\

– I haven’t driven my BIL’s truck in a month. It’s not that I’m scared so much as I prefer driving my car. Prixy and I are a team. I can’t imagine ever driving another car. We sync up and turn into one animal on the road.

– Found the link to that post… an hour later. So if you’re bored and able to watch a movie, watch Amelie. Enjoy. =)

– I just read about those three guys lost at sea after their boat capsized. That had to have been a horrible end. My thoughts are with their families.

– Just found Pioneer Woman’s Huge List of Recipes all in one place. UM! Yum. Whenever her book comes out, I am buying it.


i hate when andy is right.

OH. MY. GOSH.

Today has been a day for mood swings. It’s tiring me out getting upset and then calming myself back down over trivial things. But it’s 5pm, so I’m going home to sleep it off.
