For days I could not renew my account because the renewal page would not render in a way that allowed me to press the "button" that said join.

But hey that was my fault. I just was supposed to use a different browser. Gah.. MAC/Firefox fanboys. blah.

But I am back now. Better or worse. smile

Okay so the web filter is back on at work so it has drastically cut into my time here and on Facebook. Whatever will I do.... haha. Of course this mean that exactly what I thought would happen is happening, which is I do not have time to keep up with all of them. Grrrrr....

The last two nights I really went out drinking for...

Congrats on having your white Xmas! I've never cared for snow so much, b/c I never learned to drive. Stomping through snow as a commuter is not always fun. I got caught in it one day over the holidays and it sucked shit.

Mixed candy is a little detail in Let the Right One In. The little boy buys his crush a gift of mixed candy and I found the offering so sweet and endearing...can't get it out of my head. ♥

It's hard to keep up with me with movies sometimes b/c I'm kind of aggressive. I like to see all the Oscar bound ones asap. I still have more to go plus plan to see The Wrestler a third time. You don't ever treat yourself?

I've never even heard of those movies but I have The Savages, and I really wanted to see that! Hoffman is my favorite actor too. How was it?

Thanks for my welcome back. miao!!

SNOWPOCALYPSE!!!!

My god I have never seen this much snow in Portland in my life. Seriously. Not even close. I would say a good 16o to 20 inches of snow has fallen at my house and I am basically AT SEA LEVEL!!! Ok not really but I do not live in the hills around here.

There are three places around my house that really sum...

Stupid Facebook consuming all my social networking time. Then there is my blog that I "used to" post to. Gah.... I knew this would happen. When I get on something like that I just have to figure it all out. But with the format it is in and all the applications it is taking me awhile to get my head around it all.

It is...

I did finish it! i have the luxury of being unemployed so it was my job for about 2 weeks.

and yes, that 2001-esque (the film, not the year) wheel of death was really aggravating. i didn't play for a whole day i was so frustrated. the same thing happened to me earlier on those multi-wheel walls in the japanese level. at least the music was soothing on those.

Thanks.

I am creeped out.

Are you enjoying the snow?

My sister is in Seattle and hating it, haha.

After much pestering and prodding.... sheesh. Just what I need. Yet another blog/social networking site I do not have time to keep up on!

Looks like I am learning a bit of Facebook today.

Well the ultrasound tech was wrapping up and I joked "okay, so there are no tumors or alien babies growing inside me?" to which he responded with "no, everything looked pretty normal except for your liver" surreal.

I guess that's good. If I need a new liver I can get one since the rest of my shit is still good.

wink

All kidding aside, I don't know what that means at this point. I suppose I should be relieved.

What are your plans this weekend? I'm thinking of taking the kids to a movie at Kennedy school Saturday afternoon. Are you and your lady free?

I've been debating joining Facebook, but have resisted since I barely use Myspace, and it seems like almost the same thing. One of these days I'll probably cave and join anyway.

What a great day. Thanksgiving came off without a hitch (Of course after hosting it 8 years in a row you would think I have this down now.. and I do) no family squabbles, no fights, disagreements. Nope, the worst thing that happened was when my 7 year old niece decided to try to feed Mr. Snuffy some turkey (my orange tabby cat who thinks...

Good thing the guy had such a good sense of humor. smile When I hear "wang" I think of that montage at the end of the second Austin Powers, remember all that? The dick references?

How fun! Sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving.
You needed the drama of the scratch. wink

Couple remainders from the election.

1. Gay Marriage. This is inevitable people. Regardless of your thoughts on it Loving v. Virginia will virtually guarantee this will come to pass. From Anna Quindlen's Newsweek article this week:

"Here are the facts of the case, and if they leave you breathless with disbelief and rage it only proves Kushner's point, and mine: Mildred Jeter and Richard Loving...

Wow. Well, thanks for reading all of that and thanks for sharing your story. It means a lot.

I always got the "Best of" Jenna tapes... the ones with just the action and none of that other silly stuff and she was okay. Although there was one with another girl and they had clown face paint on that still haunts me.

But yeah, I used to love me some Jenna. Then again, I've got some pretty interesting stuff so it takes a lot to gross me out. My friend who went to Mexico with us scarred me for life with this one that involved some sort of ass ratchet. Seriously. I told her I'm going to get her back for that one, I'm still haunted by seeing that!

Holidays are sneaking up on me...

Every year they just sneak up on me and it feels the same this year. Thanksgiving on the way, Christmas commercials and music in stores already? It is on a roll. I have so much to get ready for Thanksgiving and the Oregon Civil War college game day that will be hosted at my place the same weekend. Sheesh....

I worded that wrong in my journal. A lot people think he is gay, I guess. I don't. But because he is a private person everyone assumes he must be.

It only got up to 45 degrees today. I can now officially start bitching about the cold. smile

Snow is just around the corner. I can feel it!

Sounds like Portland is back to its old, soggy self. Bet you're wishing you were back in Cabo about now, eh? wink

Yeah, when it comes to Louie's health, I tend to assume the worst. I'm a paranoid, overprotective parent. *sigh*

And how's that dear Mr. Snuffy been doing? miao!!

PS: I think he might dig the video I've got up in my blog, too.

Whew... what a vacation. It was adventures galore, it if was not one thing it was another. We learned a lot of "Cabo Lessons" so will be more prepared on the next trip. But other than a few missteps here and there we had a fantastic time. Our room reservation was screwed up so they upgraded us to a Junior Suite. There are only 10...

OH and get this... we just got back from 10 days in Cabo too. We stayed at Casa Dorada which is only 6 months old. I had an amazing time and was tempted to go to that pimp and ho (don't laugh) party at the Melia but decided that I had better things to do with $600USD than take the hubby to something like that.

I only spent three days in the sun and the rest was finding shade and drinking far too early in the morning. When I got back my daughter asked me why I am not brown anymore because now I look like a black person. Too funny! I didn't take photos of my trip but our traveling companions did so I'll post them when I get them. All the ones I took were either odd, unflattering, or obscene.
