What a weekend [Sunday, Mar 23rd, 2008 @ 8:42am] [ mood | chipper ] So, it's been a crazy hectic weekend. Homework, shopping, easter, Danny on Duty. Just a hell of a long weekend. So yesterday, we went and got the 40GB PS3. Yep, we now own a PS3. We couldn't for a time decide between a PS3 or an Xbox 360, since there are games for both systems we wanted, but went with the PS3 because it has the blue ray player. We also got Heavenly Sword, the Resident Evil Trilogy on Blue Ray, Three hundred, and Blue Planet, also on Blue Ray, and I got Torchwood Series One. FINALLY!! Danny also insisted on taking me to a Salon and getting me pampered. So my hair has been cut to a cute little bob, just at my chin length, it's a nice light ginger colour, and my eyebrows got waxed as well. So I feel all pretty now. Currently I'm reading the online lecture before I sign off and go read the textbook. When I sign back online it will be to work on my one page assignment and get it out of the way. Then tomorrow I can spend the whole day typing up my two page assignment and get it in on time and done completely and correctly. In fact, I might work on half of it today, so there's less I'm forcing myself to type tomorrow. Other than that, I think I'm just going to watch Dr. Who and Torchwood, and have fun with Chris since it is Easter. Hope you all have a great Easter! 3 Quite all right to

"Not too bad for a man in his jimjams" [Thursday, Mar 20th, 2008 @ 9:18am] I'm a Tenth Dr. Fan girl. I watched the first two episodes last night, and yeah, completely and totally hooked on David Tennant as the Dr. He's witty, funny, serious, but mostly goofy. Case in point: "From the day they arrive on the planet...and blinking step into the sun. There's more to be---no, wait, that's the Lion King, sorry."(I'm pretty sure I butchered the line but you get the point) People I RP with, sorry I was just too tired to do tags, but I will be working on them right now, as soon as get breakfast. I just couldn't think last night, so yeah. When Danny has duty, alot of times, my tags fall behind, but don't worry, I do my best to not let threads die, promise. School is, well, I have to put more effort into it, honestly, which is why I think I did so poorly these past two weeks. I will do better this week. I plan on reading my textbook the minute Chris hits the sack for a nap. Or when Danny gets home, whichever comes first. I've got a mid eighty in the class, and I want to bring it up to a High A by the end of the class. I'm sure I can if I just apply myself. I think I'm going to stop letting Danny put Chris to bed. It takes forever for him to get Chris down, but I have had no problem getting him in bed by nine pm. Sure, he wakes up in the night sometimes for a bottle, but goes down rather quickly after that. so I think Danny is just not as firm as he needs to be when it comes to getting Chris in bed. Tomorrow we finally get our tax returns in, which I am completely giddy about. I am seriously thinking of getting a PS3 after we fix the car, put money into Chris's college fund and into a CD, but not too sure yet. There are other things we could get too. It's in that we'll see category. And that's it for this morning so far. :D 2 Quite all right to

adsklfja;lskdj [Tuesday, Mar 18th, 2008 @ 5:50am] [ mood | lethargic ] So, Danny had to be in at work at five. And since his alarm clock is on the effing fritz and yesterday he was too sick to go out to get a new one, when the first alarm went off and he was like, "I'll get up at the second one, I stayed awake until he was out of bed and dressed and out the door. Shouldn't have been too big of a deal right? HA! Because once again, Chris woke up with us, and is currently running around the living room, because guess who's not sleepy? grmbl grmbl. Happy fucking Tuesday everyone. Although, I can't say i'm that surprised. Chris conked out around seven thirty eight o'clock in Danny's arms on the couch while i was doing my homework. It was really cute and all, but dammit, I'm still tired because I didn't get to sleep until around eleven cause I had to get my homework in on time. I wasn't going to get half credit on that just because I was tired. And boy, was I tired. And it didn't help that I was piling on guilt for being angry. I was angry at Danny cause he had a migraine, which meant no break for me from Chris, at Chris because he wouldn't let me do my homework, even though I had spent all afternoon playing with him, at myself for not getting my homework done sooner, etc. So when Chris fell asleep eating dinner, I went into the bedroom where Danny was laying down to get rid of his headache, and just broke. Full on, fetal position, breakdown. I haven't cried that hard since...god, I don't even remember when i cried that hard before. I did feel better after that, but still, fifteen minutes of crying always makes me uncomfortable, especially when I'm convinced I should be taking care of those around me, and not the other way around. I mean, Danny was feeling like crap yesterday, I should have been making him feel better, not having a nervous breakdown on him. I did get my homework done, which is yay, and another yay? Nick Andros got accepted in aiodeoffcampus. Which I am completely excited about. Although I didn't get friended back by the mod journal, so i can't do the friend add or request "housing" for him, or even update my contact info...although I could do that with my Swink Journal, so that part's not the big issue. I got accepted into the comms all right though, so that's good. All I know is i'm gonna have fun with those two characters. Let's see, oh yeah, I need to work on those Stay Alive icons, and finish those Mask of Zorro icons. Only one problem. While I found one of my jump drives, the one with my completed graphics, and homework, ironically, I can't find my jumpdrive that has all my raw materials on it. Which is why I haven't been with the icon making. but since my completed graphics jumpdrive also happens to have my stories on it, I should work on those today. Although I'm hoping Chris will be calm enough now that I can go lay down with him until I wake up. I don't care if he sleeps or not. I just want him to lay with me quietly in my arms while i pass out and sleep. 12 Quite all right to

[Monday, Mar 17th, 2008 @ 9:01am] [ mood | accomplished ] Oh man, I hate Mondays. No seriously. Mondays are definitely the work of the devil. Although today does have the benefit of being St. Patrick's Day, so here's hoping today won't suck too damn much. Let's see, what has been happening in the land of El? Well, this morning sucked ass as Danny's alarm and my cell phone alarm failed to go off. Yeah, We woke up at seven fifteen. did I mention Danny has to be at work at Seven thirty? Fortunately, he raced through dressing called and got out the door before he would be massively late. I still feel like it's my fault. I think it's time Danny and I got a new alarm clock. Will be checking for one over the next few days. Didn't get alot of sleep last night either, guess who decided that he didn't want to sleep in his own bed, which meant I got kicked in the back, a lot. It sucked because the night before I got him to bed by nine and not only did he go down at nine o'clock, he stayed asleep til around six thirty, when he wanted a bottle. Over all, yesterday was really grand. I got my homework done early, got in some great RP time, Danny took me out to Red Robin's for Dinner, AND I got to get the second series of Dr. Who. The one with David Tennent as the Tenth Dr. Tee Hee. I'm addicted to this show. Which is funny because before it was always Danny who was into Dr. Who. Now i'm the one wanting to get it all. Well, at least, the newest versions. Danny's still more into the Tom Baker years. I think it's the Scarf. I wanted to get Torchwood, but although they had it Saturday, they didn't on Sunday. I knew I should have hidden it. Oh well, I can always get it off Amazon next pay period. I've got eight hundred words to write for class today, plus make a show over at the discussion questions. Shouldn't be too hard. I just hate writing when I feel like I have nothing to say. It sucks when your writer's block affects your school work too. Trying to think of anything else that needs to be done today. nothing is coming to mind other than grocery shopping, but that should really wait until tomorrow since the Commisary is closed on Mondays. oh well. 8 Quite all right to

[Friday, Mar 14th, 2008 @ 4:59pm] So, yeah, I'm on a Stay Alive kick. Anyone really shocked by this? Anyone at all? I mean seriously. I know I was completely one of those people who when the movie hit theaters that said, "OMG SO LAME" and never went to see it. Which is probably for the best because the PG-13 version from everything I hear sucked. So when I went visiting in Dallas last October, Debi brought it over the night my mom was staying with my dad at the hospital, and we watched it. And it was not only sufficiently creepy, but it wasn't just a slasher film, like the trailers made it out to be. There really is a supernatural kick to it. So, i think I'm gonna finish making icons from the movie, for each of the five main characters. I've got Phin and Swink Done. Now I just need to do October, Hutch and Abigail. I think since I started October already, I'll finish her batch, and then work on Hutch and Abigail...but first I need to finish posting and making the Mask of Zorro Icons I promised at < lj comm="fadingicons">Blergh Gah, I'm bored, I need to study. Which I am, but it's time for chris's Breakfast, so I will see you all on the flip side. 4 Quite all right to

Every...effing...hour!!! [Thursday, Mar 13th, 2008 @ 9:33am] [ mood | exhausted ] I effing hate mornings. Like there are no words for how bad last night sucked ass. Ok, well maybe Angry Video Game Nerd could come up with something, but I'm not him, and I've not had enough caffeine to wake me up...at all. I doubt i will have enough caffeine to fully cover for the completel and utter LACK OF SLEEP I was able to get last night. So I was pretty happy, we got Chris down at a decent hour, around ten thirty, and Danny and I crashed. He had to go to the Gym at Six in the morning for his Second Class test. Which he failed to inform me of until right before going to bed. I'm gonna start making him LIST everything he will be doing for work for a whole week in advance so that shit doesn't happen again. Anyways, Chris waked up at eleven thirty in pain. I think another tooth is coming in, because EVERY HOUR we were up with him. Finally, around three, I gave up, grabbed him, and dragged him into the living room with me, where I proceeded to have a complete and utter lack of sleep meltdown. I'm talking tears, hiccups, nose, which was already stuffed up getting worse, and yeah, my night was not fun. On the plus side, he finally went back out around four and slept til around nine this morning, letting me get at least four hours of uninterurpted sleep. Thank Christ for small favors. Oh, more issues with the car. Danny replaced the battery last night, got hooked up and everything, and now...the car won't fucking start. Just fucking incredible. And Chris is low on formula and baby food. He thinks it's alternator. Which is hopefully what it is, because we don't need to get effing screwed on this. Top that with all the electrical problems that car's been having since Day one...Anyone know where I can get a bazooka? Rps are going good. Fem needs to pick back up. I want to get that rescue sl over and done with. And RS is really hopping too. I'm really excited about playing Swink in Aiode though. It's pretty active, fairly large, and We have a complete set of Gamers from Stay Alive. Hee! I've just introduced Swink, and already I know it's gonna be fun. School, is well, school. I got half credit on my last assignment, so I'm down to an eighty three in the class, but that's fine. I so know I can bring that grade up, and high. i just need to start monday's assignment on Sunday. So today I'm reading the online lecture, then tonight, the first of the two chapters assigned. Tomorrow the second of the two chapters as well as the discussion questions. Then Saturday work on Sunday's assignment and Sunday knock out at least half of Monday's assignment and Monday finish it so I get complete credit. 12 Quite all right to

Another day in the life of boring old me [Tuesday, Mar 11th, 2008 @ 5:25pm] Yeah, sometimes, I think my life is pretty boring. Well, kinda. It's boring in the fact that it seems the same thing every day. I get up, take care of my sweetie pie, who is currently playing quietly after a nap. Oh, wait, no, he's just smiling up at me. He's clapping now. which is too cute for words when he does it. He actually took two naps today, which is an improvement. of course, i think the only reason he took the second nap is because I had to trim his fingernails, and that always upsets him. I'm hoping to have him in bed by nine thirty so i can have the rest of the evening to myself. Let's see, got my homework in, finally. It was due yesterday, but due to the panic attack caused by nearly losing my wallet, I was unable to concentrate to do it. Well, finish it. I got a good portion of it done yesterday. Just had to do what little I hadn't done already today. I had it in before noon. It's another duty day for Danny, which means just me and Chris again all night. Another reason I want him in bed before Nine thirty. So tomorrow he'll go to bed at a decent hour and not make it hard on Danny tomorrow when we try to get him to sleep. Yeah, try explaining Daylight Savings time to a baby who doesn't understand time. Yeah, doesn't work. But If i can get him to sleep on a schedule, or at least the basics of one, then maybe we can get back to a decent nights sleep. Wish me luck on this. I'm tired though, so i'm probably going to play some Brawl here soon. I need to beat up on things. 9 Quite all right to
