CJ turns 14 on Wednesday (!!!!!). KCD gave him his present over the weekend. A PS3 with a few games.

I have resisted gaming systems for years. We have gotten a bunch of computer games over the years which the kids have enjoyed. Last birthday, KCD gave him a PSP and while CJ was addicted for the first month or so, then his playing balanced out.

We hooked up the PS3 this afternoon with Lego Harry Potter and have played for the last few hours. Yes, we. I played with CJ for a while and had fun.

This is a cool story. Guy sees refugee kids in Darfur playing soccer with a ball of taped trash. Decides to create an indestructible ball that can't be punctured or deflated.

The magic material? The plastic they use on Crocs.

Movers get here by 9am tomorrow! Possibly earlier! WHEE!

We got the frame for mac's new hi-lo bed up today. Put away all the temporary stuff my parents had brought over and we now have a thunder storm blowing in that is scaring the cats.

We both survived church and I even met some parents of kids mac's age. Good start.

Ok- I am pretty sure this is TMI for this thread, but I have to share in case I somehow die in my sleep and am found like this. Also, it is pretty funny.

I have a rash under my breasts from sweat and heat. I have no air-conditioning, so the treatment (powdered anti-fungal) just gets wet and gross in my house, and so each week I seem like I am on the verge of a cure, but the weekend spent in the sweaty hot apartment undoes it.

It irritates me to wear a bra, and it irritates me to not wear a bra. I was thinking that a cotton bra would be nice, but I do not have one. Then I was reading online about a woman who cuts up sweat socks to put in her bra to keep the area dry.

So, because I am the creative type, I am now sitting here with a pair of cotton underwear fashioned into a bra via cutting and tying and 2 hand crocheted 100% cotton washcloths in the bra, one under each boob.

It seems to be helping but I must look ridiculous.

But no one can see you, so it's all good. Except, of course, now we can all picture it.

Good one, msbelle.

Oh, god, I'm so glad I decided to leave the house. The migration we're undertaking this weekend is still underway. I would have been going bananas at home. At least I got to meet some new people (and sip on some vodka). And the pool thing, and also the Colin thing.

See, I felt bad for you having to work all weekend, but now NSM.

Sophia, I use bandannas. Why any woman would want her boobs to be bigger, I can't fathom.

I do not foresee getting a good sleep tonight. I am SOOOOOO excited to get my stuff. Some of it has been in storage for like 2 months and still other stuff 10 months.

ita, I'm glad you went.

Sophia, this is the thread in which I admitted to wearing frozen peas on my head. So.

Yay movers! That was nice and fast.

I'm sorry for being so one note in here of late. In between giving myself more projects than I can probably handle, I've been kinda spacy with the aunt stuff. Not really feeling or processing a lot, just sort of in a free floating distracted/ misplaced anxiety state.

Stay in touch with relatives you like. Cause if you don't, well, it kinda can suck.
