What is everyone doing right now?

[volatile]

I'd rather be out enjoying the night...but it's cold and I have to work unpaid overtime. :(

[Greenday]

Well, I was out to Applebees (which, originally was going to be just me and one of my friends, but then someone else thought it'd be a good idea to invite us and a bunch of other people to go there, ending my plans), but now I'm back. Now I'm just watching movies online.

[SengaKitty]

I was chit chatting with some friends online... Now? I'm reading the boards while waiting for the SO to get home from what was probably a very very busy night at work, seeing as one of the competing restaurants near his burnt to the ground yesterday [read: friday] morning.

[boringscreenname]

I paid a bunch of bills, took care of my son, went with David to the barbershop, got Starbucks, got groceries, folded laundry, took a nap, and now I'm at work until 7 a.m.

[Nurian]

Drinking and trying very hard to calm down.

Drinking and trying very hard to calm down.

lol. well i'll keep you in my thoughts.

[Nurian]

lol. well i'll keep you in my thoughts.

I appreciate it :). I'm sorry your stuck on overtime, amigo.

[Shpepper]

I am trying to find something to watch or listen to. I can't get good tv and I can't go out since I broke my ankle and can not drive for at least another 6 weeks.

[RootedPhoenix]

Pondering the meaning of life and why it is that I can't go to sleep already.

[RetailWorkhorse]

About to yell at RootedPhoenix.

PHOENIX, GO TO BED! YOU'RE SICK! I don't care if you can't sleep. Lay in bed quietly with your eyes closed.

Aaaaaand now that I sound like my Mother I'm gonna go find a cartoon to watch since I have insomnia. Again.

Meh. I'll sleep on Sunday (I work Saturday) during the day. Only time I can sleep anyhow.

[fireheart]

Wondering how she can get rid of a gigantic pimple on the side of her head and wonders if she should pop it.

[Rapscallion]

Working.

Rapscallion

[Nyoibo]

Watching TNG and making chainmail.

[protege]

What am I doing right now?

Well, surfing CS of course :wave:

[persephone]

Taking a break from packing. Daughter and Son are playing in the room with me, as it is very cold outside and I don't want them out in that, especially not alone, and I don't feel good so I don't want to be out in it too. :p

Hubby is flying back in from his business trip to the new city this afternoon, so we'll be going to pick him up in a few hours. I've missed him. I'm glad he's coming home! ;)

[BookstoreEscapee]

Avoiding cleaning my apartment like usual. Gonna take a shower soon and get to the chores. Family dinner thing later at the Parental Units' Laundry and Dinner Emporium (haven't decided yet if I'm actually bringing laundry today, though...all the aunts and uncles will be there, too).

I am trying to find something to watch or listen to. I can't get good tv and I can't go out since I broke my ankle and can not drive for at least another 6 weeks.

Ouch! How did you do that?

[Ree]

Cruising CS and Facebook, and reading my email, while procrastinating from doing some actual work, even though it really needs to be done.

[Evil Queen]

Waiting for 3pm so I can go do my crappy half shift at work today.

I hate half shifts. :rant:

[Jester]

1. Checking out CS.com. Duh.
2. Waiting on my lunch to be delivered. Chinese food. Yummy!
3. Watching an oddly fascinating documentary about Tammy Faye Bakker. Yes, THAT Tammy Faye Bakker!
4. Avoiding cleaning what I should be cleaning.
5. Chilling before I have to work later this afternoon.

[Animae]

Relaxing before I have to go to work. But its a short shift, because our holiday party is tonight. This should be.... Interesting.

[Becks]

Working up the motivation to get things done.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Working up the motivation to get things done.

Hey, me too...still...:cry: :headdesk:

[Greenday]

Staying classy, drinking grape juice straight from the bottle.

And watching Pineapple Express.

[SengaKitty]

Waking up, drinking my coffee, and trying to figure out just how many layers I'm going to need to go out tonight...

[Elspeth]

working, again.

Trying to keep from having a nervous breakdown and have another illness, though I did lose 40lbs in the couldn't move, coughing, only could eat jello, gatorade, and oj diet.

Trying not to stress about my Mom's health issues. The camera down the throat to take more pictures of her heart is not fun. I am very very close to my Mommy and I don't like this. Plus I would like one year without a parent having health issues

And the on going stress of wondering if the hubby and me are going to have jobs.

and crusing CS.com because I really don't want to finish 10 pages of ten key data entry.

sorry for the rambling vent.

[Primer]

Still waiting to hear back from the vet to find out why my dog can seemingly run and play just fine on his own, but will tense up and scream if I touch his belly.

[Greenday]

On to Bangkok Dangerous.

[Shpepper]

Ouch! How did you do that?

Attempting to deice a ramp at work in December. I had a guest coming in who uses a cane and our ramp all the time and We had a nasty snowstorm here. Way more than we usually get. I went to go shovel the snow and deice it and instead slipped down the ramp and broke the ankle.

On a funny side note, the guest that was coming in is a radiologist who fills in at our local hospital. Guess how read and reported on my x-rays? :lol:

Hehe, that's funny.

Guess you'll be needing that ramp yourself, now...

My mom broke her wrist a couple years ago when she slipped on the front steps. Somehow this is my fault because I didn't tell her it was icy when I left the house...3 hours earlier when she was still in bed...(not really, just a running joke by now)

I was just changing a light bulb above my bathroom sink and dropped the new bulb. It makes a lovely tinkling sound as it shatters all over the tile....:cry:

Actually, the ramp doens't help me at all. It on;y leads from the parking lot to the bottom of a flight of stairs. It's a historic building so ramps are not required to allow access into the whole building. I wish there were. I'd be back to work already.


I do love the sound of shattered light bulbs. I just hope it wasn't your last one.

[gaspode]

trying to think of people to search for on facebook(yes i have no life since i found facbook) anyone want to be my friend?

[Greenday]

Greenday is on facebook!

And now I'm on the second Harold & Kumar.

[BookstoreEscapee]

I'd be your friend, gaspode, but I'm not on Facebook.

No, I had another. Just finished picking up/vacuuming up all the shards of glass. That powdery coating inside the bulb isn't dangerous, right?

I couldn't have dropped the dead one, though, right?

Now I'm undecorating my apartment for Christmas so I can put all the stuff away in the boxes that will go in my parents' attic when I go there for dinner.

[Shpepper]

I don't think it is. At least I've never heard that it's dangerous.

I didn't have to out away Christmas stuff this year. I wasn't even home for it. It's only the second Christmas in 41 years that I have not been home.

[AnaKhouri]

I am waiting for our pizza to arrive.

It has 5 kinds of meat on it. :angel:

[crazylegs]

I'm trying to become tired so I can go to bed...

[McGoddess09]

I JUST got back from a very busy day and night last night. Last night, I took the SO to work,went lingerie shopping,hung out with friends,picked SO up from work,spent the night at his house. Woke up at 6:30 this morning to go to a Scholstic Bowl tournament that is two hours from here. I got back from that, took SO on a bunch of errands and JUST got home.

[lupo pazzesco]

Waiting for water to boil, so I can start the next step of dinner prep.

I's makin' spinach and cheese lasagna rolls. Smother them with some really nice marinara and extra moza on top and ish really tasty.

I'm feeling more energized, since I just finished smudging my apartment and cleaning it. It's starting to feel like it's MINE again, after the break in. I think this is important.

[Elspeth]

Wow Lupo, that sounds yummy!!!

Finished work, stopped at the store and got stuff to throw in the crock pot tomorrow (pork shoulder roast and veggies). Now finally making use of netflix's instant play feature and finally watching Ghost in the shell 2nd Gig.

[monolayth]

On Lunch break at work, Actually eating!

earlier today woke up throwing up and feeling like crap, got to work, ate and started feeling better.

Am getting an appitite back!

[Amina516]

Umm..I just got off a 12 hour shift. I took a shower and now smell like Bath and Body Works Stress Relief lotion and body wash. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMm.


I also should go study, but I dont feel like it.

[Conduit]

I'm playing some Persona 4. So much fun. XD

[GingerBiscuit]

I is Drunk. It is 2:19am here, and I have just got home and am attempting to take out my contacts without taking out my eyeballs along with them.

Please say there are leftovers...I's comin' for dinner! :D (Seriously, care to share the recipe?)

I just got home from dinner at the parents with all the aunts and uncles. Got a bit of Pablo time in and washed my bathroom rugs and bathmat. Now thinkin' hot cocoa.

[lupo pazzesco]

Finished dinner, sent BookstoreEscapee a recipe, and am now bemoaning the failed banana bread experiment I tried. At least I think it failed. It looks a little too overbrowned, but can't taste it until it cools...

we shall see...

[ParkingWitch]

Just made a CS album of some of my cat pictures

[volatile]

well it's another night of working for me. i think that is going to be the 4th day in a row working 12 or more hours...hopefully i can get everything done by sunday night and can take a breather.

My mom once made banana bread with chocolate chips. It was very yummy :p

[Becks]

Working up the motivation to get things done.

I'm pleased to announce that I *DID* manage to accomplish things today. Yay me. However, I didn't do nearly as much as I wanted too. I spent most of the day reading a book.

trying to think of people to search for on facebook(yes i have no life since i found facbook) anyone want to be my friend?

I will. :wave:

That reminds me, I have to update my status on Facebook. It'll change to something referring to Metallica.

I..um...put away the dishes in the dish drainer....

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I just had pancakes.

Got home and got a craving for some pancakes even though it was 10:30. So I went and got the instant mix, tossed some and some milk in a bowl, and made warm squishy goodness.

They were delicious. ^^

[RetailWorkhorse]

Trying to computer shop using my cell phone as a modem and the cell tower is down.

Already I have tried to post this six times, to be greeting with "Network Timeout" each time.

Seven times.

[mrsmarit]

Watching Godzilla 2000:Millenium.


It is HILARIOUS :roll:

[JoitheArtist]

it's 2:43 am, and I am drinking Mountain Dew. Me and my friend are dressing up in her RenFaire gear and taking pics with....my new camera!!!

I finally went out and bought myself a nice camera. It's a Canon SX110, with 10x optical zoom and 9 megapixels. I LOVE my camera. A lot!

[Shpepper]

It's 4 am and I should be trying to sleep. But of course I can't get comfortabe enough to fall asleep. So I am checking out the boards. And now since I read the last post, hoping that my Ren Faire happens this year. It got canceled last year.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Just got out of the shower. Gonna eat something and take some drugs for my headache. Got some errands to do. Finish cleaning the bathroom. Get ready for work tomorrow. But first must check if GK posted yet. :D

Since last night I have found two small cuts on my left hand (one on my pinkie just below the nail, the other on the back of my wrist) that may or may not be from yesterday's broken light bulb.

[Becks]

Being cranky, antisocial and not wanting to go to work in 3 hours. *hiss*

Unless it's charcoal black, banana bread never fails!

DH has been into box mixes for his bread machine lately. He found some for sweet Hawaiian bread. I suggested he try using pineapple "juice" (from canned pineapples--packed in water) instead of tap water. Now, THAT failed! It never rose, just baked into a dense lump.

Currently, I'm about to get ready to go to Austin to check on the parents, and pick up the step-daughter. She's going to be staying with us for a while to recuperate from knee replacement surgery.

Goex got his Tramadol this morning, but still hurts. As I said in my other thread, I plan on taking a urine sample in tomorrow to have him tested for crystals.

**Offers Bandaids and cookies**

There now is that all better???

[BookstoreEscapee]

**Offers Bandaids and cookies**

Don't even need Bandaids...but I'll take the cookies. Mmm...much better :D

(Really, the one on my finger is no bigger than a paper cut and the one on my wrist actually looks like it's a couple days old at least so it's probably from some other random trauma. I think I just scrubbed over it in the shower and it stung which is the only reason I noticed it.)

[Shpepper]

It's a mom thing. I hear owies and offer bandaids. Cookies are extra most of the time.

[crazylegs]

I'm holding off going to bed, I'm on a late shift tomorrow and don't want to get up too early.

[wraiths_crono]

I am at work right now, on a phone call with a field tech waiting for the customers service to be restored, while being sick, coughing my brains out, watching the time slowly tick by to be 5:15 (az time) so I can sit in 'idle home' for our requisite 15 min. and thanking the FSM that its Friday for me.

[AnaKhouri]

Listening to my new CD by the band Fleet Foxes. They played on Saturday Night Live last night (which I rarely watch, but my lady-love Rosario Dawson was hosting) and my husband and I both loved them, so much that we went out and bought their album today. :D

[Rapscallion]

Taking minutes in an unadvertised lunchtime meeting. Things are quiet.

[Jester]

Recovering from my hangover.

In shock that the Arizona freakin' Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl.

Basking in the glow of having snogged with the cute little redheaded girl after we got done watching the playoff games.

Trying to get up and out on my bike for another spin, hopefully with more mileage than yesterday.

All in all, a good fucking Monday!

[Becks]

Being cranky, antisocial and not wanting to go to work in 3 hours. *hiss*

Same as yesterday, except that I start at 3 pm instead of 4 pm.

[persephone]

Just cause it's browned doesn't mean it's not good. Sometimes that's the best kind! Taste it -- you never know! (I LOVE banana bread!)

What am I doing? Procrastinating. I'm taking a break from cleaning and packing and really don't want to go start again, but I should. Daughter and Son are actually being pretty good and playing quietly together.

I think they know Mommy is slightly stressed out. :o

Constantly updating the DHL Tracking page in the vague hope that my new iPhone has moved from their depot in the last 30 seconds!

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Just got home a bit ago and finished putting together spaghetti sauce in the crock pot, mopped the floor in the laundry room and fixed me a bite to eat for lunch (mac & cheese.)

Right now, I'm checking on the weather via Weatherbug to see about updates (we're expecting SNOW tonight and into tomorrow morning) and waiting for a phone call from the hardware store (they're waiting for their shipment of dog food in and we're almost out.)

Other than that, catching up here for a spell:D

[Evil Queen]

Craving cheese.

I'm a regular Wallace! :lol:

[Carolaaine]

I'm studying for my French exam on Friday.
I'm seriously considering lighting my papers on fire :( It's really boring to study and the exam is going to be really hard...
It may be the first exam ever I'm going to skip...

But I've had worse! I'm going to read all the texts and essays in that pile and analyse 'em until there's nothing to be analysed anymore!

If I ever find the courage

[It shouldn't]

I just got done with an interview with the local paper. Seems they somehow found out about our daughters Army commendation Medal with valor.

Now I have to call my mother in law........ she still thinks that her grand daughter was safely tucked away in an Aid Station on her FOB the whole time she was deployed.

I'm sure tomorrows article is gonna mention the fire fights she was in, as they are why she got that medal.

Best break it to Grandma gently before she reads it in the paper.

[persephone]

Best break it to Grandma gently before she reads it in the paper.

Yes, probably best. But daughter is home now, right? So you can say "We didn't want to worry you -- see -- she's fine!" And hey -- Grandma has even more to be proud of her for and more to brag about!! All Grandma's like to brag!

:p

And I don't know your daughter, but I'm proud of her. Her and everyone else fighting for us. Give her a hug and a big "Thank you" from one of your internet people.

God, I LOVE that song.

Getting ready to take my laundry to my brother's house.

I've been looking forward to that for DAYS. How sad is that?

Oh, and listening to Metallica. Puts me in the proper frame of mind for the day.
