- My eyes change color from brown to green depending on my mood, the temperature, barometric pressure, and their own agenda.
– This will be the second winter we’ve owned our washer and dryer.
– Two winters ago, Andy used to carry our laundry two houses down to do laundry. Through the snow. He did so without complaint. Or help.
– It’s been a year since I put Caitlin to sleep and I still miss her.
– Her urn is on my mantel in the downstairs bedroom.
– I wanted to bury it underneath some white morning glories and moon flowers so that she’d have pretty flowers day and night on her grave site. I just haven’t got a chance to grow them yet.
– Caitlin was the cat who moved out here with me, wore baby dresses, and played chess with me for roughly sixteen years. She was a great cat.
– She was featured in a lot of home made videos of mine, but this is the best.
– On Friday, it will have been two years since the most dramatic night of my existence. Little Jasbaz will be turning two.
– We have a bunch of Carebear books hidden in the top of our closet to give her for her birthday.
– Andy plays in a pool league on Tuesday nights. I surf Youtube looking for Gossip Girl clips on Tuesday nights. And check in on The Legend of the Seeker.
– Andy and I are both APPALLED and DISGUSTED with The Legend of the Seeker. They assraped our favorite series. But we both secretly love to watch it and derail all the problems and book plot shredding.
– Andy has been planning on writing a screenplay on the books and then making a movie. I told him to do it anyway. Die hard fans have to be grouchy about the TV series too.
– I wear scarves all day long to keep my neck warm so that I won’t get sick.
– So far it’s working.
– Those brownies I made on Saturday got burnt because I accidentally turned the temp up to 450 and left them in for ten minutes. I was just trying to bump it up from 300 and turned it too far.
– The last time Andy cleaned the stove, he soaked the knobs to help get the grease off and the sticker cover on our oven knob came off.
– I called several parts dealers online and no one had the sticker or a knob with a similar dial.
– So we’ve been cooking with one of those dangling oven thermometers.
– So when I realized that the brownies were burnt around the edges, I said ‘fuck it’ and mentally made a note to pick out the brownies in the center to eat.
– Spell check always, always saves me from spelling accidentally wrong.
– Our stove was made in the 1950′s and is maroon.
– It always makes me nervous when Andy cooks with the oven because he always tends to forget to turn it off. I’m always turning it off behind him.
– We have two aprons hanging up in our kitchen but neither of us ever wear one while we’re cooking. Or ever really. They just hang out on the hook.
– The last two weeks we’ve been late for church by twenty minutes and turned around to go home because Andy doesn’t want to go in late. Apparently everyone will turn around and look at you weird. He’s been embarrassed before, I’m guessing.
– Last night I watched a video on Youtube with a lady putting on makeup replicating Amy Lee’s look. She had the most adorable Scottish accent. I watched the video just to listen to her talk because it was so amusing.
– I wonder if she’d think my accent is amusing.
– Probably not. I sound like… a typical American. Although I can speak with a Spanish accent if I actively think about it.
– When my dad first bought me the webcam to take out to IL with me (so that we could SEE each other while talking on the phone), he made a few videos and left them on my computer. I uploaded this one because it always sends me into stitches watching it. The others are hilarious too, but this one is the best.
– Andy doesn’t think they are nearly as amusing as I do. So if you don’t, it’s okay.
– It’s a Tuesday, at 2:07pm. And I have run out of things to chat about.
– Time for Runescape.
