Yay, Dana!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We just lowered the price again on Wednesday, but the offer is for the full price. At this point, I'd give them my never-to-exist firstborn to just take the damn thing.

Yay, Dana!

The accountant just emailed to say we don't owe any taxes this year. I don't know how that could be, but I want to believe it is true. (Clicks heels together three times, claps for Tinkerbell, etc., etc.)

My DH has been gone for almost two weeks, but gets back tomorrow. He has been on a work retreat to the French Alps. For my work I get to go to Minneapolis at the end of the month. One of these things is not like the other.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay for the good news, Dana.

Yay for bellinis too.

And Sparky, I want your DH's job. Or at least I want its perqs.

At least winter's over?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Dana! Good news, Sparky!

I'm watching The Daily Show from more than a week ago, and they are making fun of CNN for its nonstop coverage of the Malaysian Air flight, and when I was at the airport the other day? CNN still had a ton of coverage of the search!

There was a bit on SNL last night that did the same thing -- it was the CNN pregnancy test. Pretty funny.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I want a bellini. Or anything with alcohol in it, really. But I have to wait a few hours before I can. Rant ahoy.

I had a good time yesterday at a gaming fest thrown by the local gamer group. And then I couldn't sleep last night, with my stupid brain running in circles wailing nobody really likes you you're too needy you pathetic loser you should have stayed home and watched tv also you're really fat and nobody really likes you on and on until 4am when I finally fell asleep and had bad dreams in which someone was telling me to dye the gray out of my hair. I woke up angry and full of self-loathing, and am fighting the black dog of depression with everything I can muster up.

And of course, my sister is coming over in a few minutes with her BF to "help" me do yard/garden work that I don't feel like doing and don't really care about getting done, and I know she won't listen and we'll do it anyway because that's what always happens. (It's the bed we created in the side yard, that stubbornly refuses to grow anything but weeds. She wants to rake up all the mulch, plant stuff, put down landscaping fabric, and re-mulch. I want to hire someone to rip it all out and put sod down. I should have left it as grass.)

So I've done some house cleaning, I'm making mental plans to get rid of/rearrange a lot of my stuff, and I'm girding my loins to deal with this yardwork, and then she'll go home and I'll have that drink.
