Crap on a stick. I have to kinda hope that the most hated team in hockey (DRW) can beat the Blackhawks today so that my Stars have a chance to make the playoffs. It's not natural to have to root for the DRW.

I'm on new medication for my rosacea and it's causing my skin to burn with the fury of 1000 suns while my skin gets used to it.
Stupid auto-immune system. Stick to allergies, whydoncha?

My son has switched from saying "Oh no!" or "Oops!" when something goes wrong to saying "Oh SHIT!"

This my fault as that is the first thing i say when I do something wrong. I've been trying to correct it but its always ready for me when something goes wrong. It's a permanent part of my vernacular.

I'm also afraid to correct him on it because I think that if I make a big deal about it he'll want to say it a lot more. I'm kinda hoping he will just get bored.

Took me forever to get my cuss words in line around the kids. I still slip, very rarely, around them. They know not to repeat them and what are bad words though. If we're listening to a song that happens to contain such words, and they know the lyrics, they will sing along till the word comes, then be silent, then continue after the word passes.

I believe your son is still a bit too young to get "it's a bad word, don't say it" but rest assured that when he can understand, as long as you make it clear, he will.

Dear Random People At My Friend's Party,

I am not a leper because I am unmarried and don't have children. You don't have to avoid me, as though you're going to catch single-ness. You also don't need to fix me with your advice. And, since I just met you, it's probably not okay to imply my life is a cold and empty existence because I haven't had kids yet. Fucking hell, I'm still in my 20's. My life isn't over, and you're a bunch of assholes for trying to tell me that it is. I haven't "missed the boat."

Ah smug parents. These same people are ready to pounce on other parents with the "right" way to raise children. Often times while dispensing this invaluable information, their little brats are running wild and ruining the party for everyone else.

This morning while I slept I was woken up by my cat sitting on my chest. As I was drifting back to sleep I heard "Hurk! Hurk!".

Yeah, he threw up on my bedspread, while sitting on me.

The other day I heard my cat trying to work up a hairball while standing on a spot of my hardwood floor. I had time to go get a towel to put under my cat's mouth. She looks at the towel, stops making the "Hurk!" noise, and turns away to spew all over my floor. It was all with a look that said "I don't want to get your towel dirty, so I'll just puke on your floor instead." Thanks, cat.

I know your pain.

I have a spot on the top of my foot where a new pair of shoes have rubbed the skin clean off, leaving it sore and somewhat hurty.

Today when I was preparing to go and shower, I took off my socks. Little did I realize that my foot sweat had soaked the sock tightly against the chafed spot - and I just yanked the sock off.

Ripped and bled like a motherfucker, ouch.

I'm going through periods of insomnia. It takes forever for me to fall asleep, but I don't want to take drugs because they make me stupid (well, stupider).

Give me a good night's sleep over the holidays, brain, and I won't poke you with this Q-Tip.

Baer, your presence in Finland is requested, nay, demanded at some point during your European exposure :p

Just grab a boat from Gdansk or a cheapo Ryanair flight.

Is it so bad to be wish to be left alone? When I'm coming or going from work, I don't want to chat with people on the bus or at the bus stop, whoever they may be. I want to write in my notebook, or read a book, or play on my DS, or maybe stare out the window vacantly, wishing I'd gotten more sleep the night before. I don't want conversations with crazies. I'm not looking for new friends. I barely have time for my current friends who I adore.

I just want to commute in peace.

Girl got hit by a dump truck outside my workplace today. She was on her bike. With her headphone on. No helmet. Ignored the rules of the road and slammed into a turning dumptruck. I feel bad for her family but I feel a hell of a lot worse for that poor truck driver who had no intention of hitting anyone let alone killing them today. :(

How awful for everyone involved. There was a kid in my 8th grade class who was hit by a pick up truck while riding his bike one night. I forget teh circumstances since it's been quite a few years since then. However, the man who hit him was one of my neighbors and a member of the volunteer fire company with my dad. The poor guy was devastated. He sold the truck shortly afterward because he couldn't bear to drive it.

I have good reason to believe my dog ate 2 magnets tonight. They were on the larger side, so I'm worried that they would connect and create a mass in his gut big enough to be a problem. Now I get to watch over him like a hawk and make sure he's still pooping properly for the next 3 days.

Well, I hope you keep searching for the missing magnets in the mean time and everything works out ok. I always get nervous with my cat because he'll eat things he shouldn't and I use rare earth magnets.

::sigh::

I've checked the area several times, still no luck. If he had eaten one this would be simple. Of course he had to eat 2 magnets.

There was an incident on the interstate here a couple weeks ago. A woman turned in front of a dump truck to attempt a u-turn. Driver of the dump truck never had a chance to react. Results were predictable and tragic. :(

Doggy update:

I found one of the magnets. That little hooligan put it in a shoe somehow. It's a few feet away from where the magnets were, so I know he definitely had a hand paw in it. The very good news is that he didn't swallow at least one of them. If he swallowed the other magnet (and I'm beginning to think he didn't; he probably hid it somewhere) then it should pass normally.

He's a mischievous little imp. I'm just glad he's okay.
