I Think I’ll Have Some Pudding Now

/ Uncategorized

Last night I did what no sane person who has to work every day, reading no less, from 7:30am-4pm would do:

I went to a midnight showing of the new Harry Potter movie.

Actually, it was a 12:04am showing. The midnight show was sold out. As was the 12:01am, the 12:03am, the 12:05am, the 12:06am. The 12:07am still had openings as of 6pm yesterday.

When 12:04am came and went with the screen still showing fuzzy ads, the teenagers in the theatre started getting loud. One guy yelled out “THIS IS PREPOSTERUS!” which I found hilarious. I was in my element, though, being surrounded by teens. Most adults hate them, but I’ve always gotten along well with teens. They fascinate me.

The movie started almost ten minutes late, and then we had to sit through all the previews. Blah. (Although, now I have Get Smart and The Golden Compass on my radar).

Anyway….this is cut for spoilerish info.

The Movie!

Today is only Monday, isn’t it?

Fartknock.

But Monday is almost over for me, at any rate. Then it’ll be Tuesday. Then it’ll be time to watch the new Harry Potter movie. Whee.

I got interesting mail today.

I had to clean everything out of one of the bookcases in Aidan’s room so the plumber could have access to the wall panel. Something huge got stuck in the drain and they have to bring out the big guns to get it, I suppose. Not only that, but I’m tired of the neighbor’s crap draining into my tub. Ew.

I am frustrated beecause my place is a mess. And to mess something up that had been someone organized is annoying. But at least they’ll fix the drains, I hope.

I hate fruit flies. I also hate looking pregnant.

I love spaghetti, and lavender, though. In fact, my mouth wants spaghetti now. But seeing the way I look right now—yeah, I’m gonna resist.

I wish I could afford organic and natural products. Foods, lotions, soaps, all that.

I want to read Small Town Girl again but I’m not sure where I put the book. It might be buried in the trunk of my car. That is a scary thought.

Bath, then bed time.

So, a plumber came in and looked at my drain. They have to cut a hole in the wall. So on Tuesday, I have to move the bookcase in Aidan’s room so the plumber can cut a hole in the wall and fix things. Eek.

You know what I don’t get? I don’t get people who put salt on their food before they even taste it. I know I’m kind of weird because I rarely put salt on my food. I like the normal flavor. But to salt it without even tasting it? What’s the point?

I remember when going to one of those free sites meant finding links to pages that gave out free samples of products. It was awesome. Now, most of those links go to those “do three offers and get this maybe” sites. No fun.

Survey time. Heh.

I started feeling not so good last night about 8pm, so I went to bed early pretty much right after Big Brother went off. I got woken up by the drain thing (see below), but then I went right back to bed after posting. I woke up this morning still feeling icky, but I talked myself into going to work. On the drive in, I knew I’d made a mistake, but I also know that you have to let them know 30 minutes before you’re supposed to be in that you’re taking off. In other words, it was too late to call and say I wasn’t going to be in. So I went into work and stayed for 90 minutes, feeling quite icky, then I came back home. The drive, normally 11–12 minutes, felt like an hour. I just wanted to get into bed.

I have no idea what was wrong, except that my stomach was bumbly and that I was shaking and my arms just felt like Jell-O, plus a headache was brewing. I think coming home and resting helped clear up whatever was going on. I feel better now, but still extra tired. And that migraine is still a threat. I hope it doesn’t bloom, I had plans to take Aidan to the park tomorrow and let him use my Sony digital camera to take as many pictures as he wants. Maybe even have a picnic, although HE’LL want McDonalds (blech; ironic because I used to love it) and I’ll want KFC. (We’ll more than likely eat spaghetti here at home). Plus, I have new movies for him to watch.

So I hope I’ve managed to stave off whatever was threatening me.

Maintenance came and did a lot of work in my drain. I hope that the icky drain thing is resolved or at least better.

Oh wow. While looking for a clear Memory Stick for Aidan, I found one full of pictures of The Grand Canyon from when zenosidal went in February of 2006. As he steals pictures from me all the time, I’m sure he won’t mind if I nip a few bunch of his. Some of them are awesome.

And actually, I have a ton of OLD pictures I want to upload to Flickr, so expect to see some blasts from the past showing up this weekend, probably.

Time to go get Aidan.
