It's ChiKat's birthday!
That's what friendster was trying to tell me! Happy Birthday!
He did that once to a drink that I wasn't finished with, I came back and took a gulp and ---there is nothing in the world worse than accidentally swallowing a menthol cigarette butt. Nothing.
Heh. A friend of mine did this when we were cleaning his and our other friend's apartment. Watching it was pretty funny, but I imagine had it been me, I'd have thrown the can at one of their heads.
Happy Birthday Chikat!!!
I wanna go home. I got here an hour early, after walking in through the snow on roads with unplowed sidewalks, so I should be able to, shouldn't I?
Did I mention walking miles to and from school in the snow, uphill both ways? I have become my grandmother.
Edited to add the much more important, Many happy returns of the day, ChiKat!
Cisco Field will offer significantly more restroom facilities than McAfee Coliseum and will be conveniently located throughout the ballpark.
May I please mock the hastily (I hope) put together fact sheet for today's A's annoucement?
eta - fixing my hasty grammar errors.
P-C and anyone else who likes Lego and The Avatar.. have you seen this?
Aang looks a little maniacal with that grin but it’s neat that Avatar is getting some Lego love. (Why yes the 10-year-old does have his Christmas list all finished.. these are in the top 10 things requested)
Yeah, the cigarette butt in the drink is one of the grosser things that exist in my real-life Universe (as opposed to things that I don't come into actual contact with).
My "grown up" moments included "Wow, I have a pension plan. And insurance (through work, for health. On my own for car.). I could have a more substantial retirement plan, but, well, credit card debt." more than my own place. I did buy a nice chair-and-a-half, but furniture didn't do it for me. I think the having my own income, and paying things off using only that income is a big thing.
Grown up moment? Realizing I'm supporting not just me, DH, and the kids, but my mom too. No - that was more of a gut punch.
Grown up moment? The first health crisis that I had to cope with without my parents' help. Oddly enough, it was my crisis, not Hubby's.
The first time I felt like it was fun to be a grownup was going to a sit-down restaurant all by myself and feeling confident about asking for exactly what I wanted from the waitress.
Happy Birthday, ChiKat!!
I think being grown-up for me was declaring bankruptcy. A house and a kid didn't do it for me. Having creditors calling me at work? Woke me the fuck up.
Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
