the stinky cheese arrives

Ew. she's here. the mo-in-law is here for 8 days and nights. will I survive? yes I think so, but if its anything like last time, she will not.

She told my sis-in-law that she thinks I "tricked" my husband by getting pregnant! She thinks I had a "master plan" which is now preventing him from getting a job. She says that he is extremely depressed that he has to stay home with our son, and I need to be less selfish and move to a place where he can work.

HOLY fuck there are so many things wrong with all of this. so many things. I will fight my instinct to sock her in the jaw upon arrival. I will grit my teeth when she takes her little digs all week long about anything she can possible find a reason to be upset about ("why do you use that laundry detergent? that kind is too expensive. you can't afford that"...listen, bitch - you don't know what I can afford, and laundry detergent is not a luxury item! and for god's sake is f*king "ALL")

God save us all. I am stopping by the bar for a drink on the way home tomorrow....maybe I will even start carrying the brown paper bag on the bus ride home.

Trust me, you would too.

weird

I had no idea SNL was going to do a "really?!" segment about Michael Phelps this week. really.

The waltz of the cheerios...and other tidbits

A sight to see:

The baby lunges forward as cheerios are poured onto the tray - like some sort of wild animal feeding. Meanwhile, the little terrier mix dances below the highchair waiting for the scraps to fall...and they will...many many cheerios will perish at the hands of baby and just as many will be cast aside to be retrieved by the very obviously NOT starving dog.
The dog has found a higher meaning in having this small person around, and she is VERY excited by this development.

1. Meanwhile, Michale Phelps gets suspended??? for real? okay, whatever- but isn't it something like 75% of the world has said they have smoked a little weed in their life? So to US Swimming I say(in a high-pitched "weekend update" voice,) REALLY???

2. I making a crazy exciting curry for dinner - I only say exciting and crazy because if I had to go out an buy all the ingredients, its crazy. I love spicy ethnic food, so the fact that I didn't have this stuff already stunned me, and I am not twice as excited about my upcoming meal.

3. baby puts the ball in the clown's belly! can you believe it?!

4. I beat Vanessa's score on geo challenge...and not just by a little - 8,000pts. Beat that bitch! (just kidding I love you and you are way smarter than me. it took weeks....)

5. I am getting my head examined - no really. I am getting an MRI of my brain done in 3wks, and while this indicates they do think there is a problem, I am still glowing at the idea of looking at my brain! I hope they let me see it, and maybe even keep a copy (since these things are all digital now). I know this is not a new science, but i still think it would be cool to have a pic of my brain.

6. Addicted to 24, and LOST has me lost. I can't keep up. The problem is the last 6yrs are to connected in little ways, and shit, my memory is not that good. I can't remember the details of the espisode from last week! I need an interactive TV where I can click one each character and get the rundown of the last 4yrs quickly. damn you scifi creators of a decent show.

7. I am taking 3 classes this semester. wish me luck maintaining my 4.0....that will leave me 5 classes from an associates. I know, that isn't worth a damn thing, but I have been working 50+hrs a week and going to school and had a baby. Its an accomplishment for me.
