Faster, Faster, Don't Stop Now

I would like it noted that I am the world's worst at organizing certain things. I have to ask folks for their address five times in the course of three years...and I'll *still* manage to lose the address, despite desperate attempts at keeping track of it (including utilization of headers in Gmail - which managed to keep track of two addresses but not three others).

*sigh*

Yeah. I suck.

*amused*

I was looking at getting a gift card sent to someone. When I clicked on the link on the website, here's what I got:

( Gift Card Ordering Policy - What Do You Mean By Online? )

Who wants to explain what "online" means to them?

Lunch was a burrito (eh - very dry), rice (good - moist) and a chili relleno (heaven - best one I've ever had).

I'm a happy camper. Last day of eating wonderfully heavy food, though. And last day of sweet tea until Thanksgiving. Woe!

1. CSI: Master Bratak! medie and I had our squee on this morning over it. *g* Who knew Jaffa masters rocked the handwriting analysis?

2. Smallville: Squeeee!!!! Oh, and ( some info that makes me way too geeky ).

3. Survivor: Someone please shut. Jamie. up. Now. And preferrably let Bobby Jon do it with a large rock. Thanks.

4. Working on NASCAR slash again today. Now that work is being slow again and my head is in the game.

5. My grandmother is going to rehab today. This is after we get to the hospital last night (me and my sister) and they've told her she's checking out while she was doped up, and didn't bother to call Mr. Power-of-Attorney My Dad. Oh, and she's in a room with a call button that doesn't work AND a phone that can't call out. Sister and I raised hell. Sister got to raise hell on the drugs. I got to raise hell that the caseworker is consulting a woman NOT in her right mind about serious decisions without notifying either of her doctors or her son. As of today, she's going to rehab near her house, but any time she needs to see a doctor (the doctors in her town are incompetent - small towns suck sometimes) an ambulance has to bring her to Greensboro. Ha! We win!

In a bit will be a post on the freakiest thing I've ever seen to do with a natural disaster. Freaky! Beats tornados, category 5 hurricanes, earthquakes equivalent to the big one, tsunamis...I swear, it's the freakiest damn thing I've ever hear of. But deserving of it's own post.

1. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle is the damn funniest movie. I laughed my ass off. And usually anything including potty humor will make me run the other direction. In this case though? Oh no. Too, to funny. (Especially the singing in the car. I cried.)

2. Dierks Bentley is killing me with his newest song. Oh really? You wanna lay me down? And get naked? Keep singing like that and I'll be easy.

3. Hardee's gave me an old sausage biscuit. It was dry and hard as a rock. *pouts*

4. My sister is going to a Halloween party tonight as a goth fairy. She's getting a large portion of her outfit from me. Yes, I'm amused. Small towns in rural NC apparently are far from understanding the concept of "goth". (At least I refrained from telling her to go as a NASCAR fairy. Since the wings are black and I have a black NASCAR shirt, it would have worked.)

5. Tony Stewart has gray facial hair. This amuses me and makes me happy, because I hate being under 40 with so much gray hair alone. Go psuedo-celebrities! Granted, I dye mine, but still. Now Tony, go shave that crap off your face and make the gray go away again.

Good: Plain popcorn with just light salt in one of those mini-bags.

Bad: Having the damn kernels stuck in your teeth for three days straight.

Plus side: I've now brushed my teeth many, many times.

Best websites EVER. Or at least for today, when I appreciate the funny or the uber-helpful.

Five Toes, the two-tongued cat

It's important to note that this cat does in fact have two tongues and is local to NC. And appeared this weekend on local TV. And is JUST SO WEIRD. *g*

Side Step

Flight booking. Let me tell you, on Expedia the flight I requested was $500 per person. On Side Step it was $153 per person. You do the very gleeful math. ETA: Which appears to maybe have been to do with US Airways and Continental suddenly having flights available for that city and that time. Note to those airlines - you would have really ticked me off if I had missed those prices because you were holding out.

(And just for that, using the Plane Go Vroom icon.)

Chasteberry is my friend.

Good drugs.

Or more precisely, good herbal remedy thing. Whatever it is, my mother read about it's wonderfulness with regards to PMS, and she bought me a bottle, and I took it the first month, and lo, there were no cramps or mood swings.

Sadly, I became sick a couple of weeks ago and didn't eat much for a few days, so I stopped taking the medication (why waste it, right?). Got out of the habit.

This month's PMS is doubly bad. Cramps for days. Mood swings of a sort. The tender boobs, though? Gah! It hurts to wear my bra. And it hurts to go without a bra. They HURT. Add in the joys of water retention and I'm a mess. And the constant bathroom breaks. Stupid water retention and bathroom breaks.

Saw Serenity with bubblesbrnaid. It was good to see it with music this time. Loved it, as usual. Still love Jayne mightily.

Worked hard, family reunion, blah blah blah.

Bridal shower happened after I had a migraine and threw up. Joy fun.

Taped Talladega and came home to watch it.

1. Yay DJ!!!!!!

2. Yay Kyle!!!! Way to insist on finishing the race buddy.

3. Boo Jimmie Johnson. I'll list the reasons I boo you in a moment.

4. Yay HotMadEllyut! Seriously. I need a screencap of Elliott mad. He's so damn hot when mad. Cute as a puppy when happy, but mad? Guh. It's like all affable guys when they're mad. DJ mad? Takes the cake. Same with Bobby Labonte.

5. Boo Newman. What the hell is up with bump drafting in the corners, you morons? Don't do it!

6. Yay Mikey. He brings the snark. "I'm happy happy happy happy happy!"

7. Boo Jamie McMurray. Did you really think they were going to let you win, knowing how good your car was? Wait on the move! Go with teh move at the END!

8. Yay for Scott Riggs and Jeff Burton actually walking away from that one.

9. Boo for Kerry being caught up in the second big one.

Reasons why Jimmie isn't getting sex for a while.

1. He bump drafted Ellyut in the corner.

2. He caused a wreck that took out people in grand and dangerous fashion.

3. He had the gall to blame it on Junior when a) Junior wasn't close enough to have bumped him at any point in there and b) Junior is one of the three best bump drafters at Talladega (seriously, blaming Junior is like blaming Jeff or Mikey - you just don't do it until after you see video, because on the scale of believability, they'll get the edge every time).

Tonight - work on quilt, watch Panthers game, go shopping with family at Wal-Mart (don't ask why), and possibly get in the kitchen and make the quiche that I've been trying to make for two weeks.

Also on the agenda - write the brain-eating romance novel that is consuming me lately. *sigh* I have a yen to write ten million genres, and I've got two stories in the works, but what happens? A new one takes over. And this one is really in there eating me away. On the plus side, I don't write or read the romance novels that have sappy women, overly sexed men, euphemisms for body parts, or absolutely incredible sex that rocks the world every time. I like normal people who aren't perfect or perfect looking, and I like dorks, and I like geeks, and I like plot that makes sense instead of contrivances attempted to give the story more punch, like a mystery that just wouldn't exist.

Rita is down to a Category 4! Keep weakening! Keep weakening!
