Blabbity

/ ronni, survey

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.

Sleepy Friday

/ ronni

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.

Another Tattoo Possiblity

I really like the idea of some sort of a swirl on my right shoulder blade.

One of the ones on the following graphic, most likely the one on the bottom left.

Making Memories

/ chicago-bound 2008, ronni

The other day I had a realization.

This will more than likely be the last year I get to go to the Ohio State Fair. I suppose it’s fitting, seeing as the first time I went was in 1997. I won a stuffed banana at the “guess your age” booth. So, ten years of the Ohio State Fair. A nice, round number. This year, I plan to take TONS and TONS and TONS of pictures when I go. I mean, even more than usual.

I also realized that I don’t have a lot of OSU-related pictures. Therefore, in the fall, and on game days, I think I’ll go on campus and take pictures of people in their scarlet and gray stuff, and just of the Buckeye spirit in general. I should go this summer too, and just take pictures of buildings and statues and things. It is my alma mater, so I should take some memories with me.

And Cedar Point? I think last year was my last time for that.

I’m getting to the point where I’m like “oh, this will be my last September in Columbus.” I don’t feel sad, though. Just resigned, and I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mean it in a “I’m ready for the next chapter of my life” way.

On the one hand, I’m SO anxious for the time for me to move to BE HERE already. But on the other hand, I know there are things I need to do here before I can move. (Yes, I say this like every week, but it helps keep me focused and makes it less likely that I’m going to jump the gun and do something that’s not sensible). Making those memories is one of the things I need to do before I move.

I’m trying to make it so I’m not just “going through the motions” and waiting for my time in Columbus to end. I want to live the days I have here as full as I can, but honestly, there’s not much left here for me. I’m okay with that, but I do feel guilty about simply “waiting for my new life to start.”

Not looking forward to certain battles I’m going to have to fight with certain people for them to just LET GO already. I’m not a kid anymore. This is MY life and I’m tired of feeling like I need to give up my happiness for everyone else. Aidan’s the ONLY person I answer to now, and that’s how it’s gonna stay.

Werd.
