Shrinking Violets - Part 5!
I won't tell you what I was doing all last night, oh my goodness.. drama drama drama. I watch Parenthood, I love that show too! Pam I texted you but haven't heard an answer, so in case you get here first... We got your comp, it's all fine... we need your password to login to the comp. I actually had to call a local college to ask if this 100 year old man really worked there. I think I'm even more disappointed that he DOES work there-- in communications!! This guy has come by twice, and called me every friggin day, acts like he's never talked to me before, asks me for something we DON'T DO, I explain to him every single day what we do. Then he does it again the next day. He is not coherent, he belongs in a nursing home. I can't believe he actually WORKS at the university.

Though it sounds like none of you really watched Lost, here is a GREAT breakdown of what it all meant, and I was pleasantly surprised at the end to realize the person who wrote this was a writer on the show. http://lostmediamentions.blogspot.com/2010/05/someone-from-bad-robots-take-on-finale.html It explains it enough to satisy me, so I'm good again.

The first 3 seasons of Lost were AWESOME!!! Then they started doing seasons to just mess with you. A whole season where maybe this is all Hurley's dream... another whole season where this is about time travel... Both of which weren't true. I didn't like those seasons. After that, I only watched Lost to FINISH it. Then this last season I was glad to finally get answers to everything, but then with the finale it all contradicts and they DID leave it open to interpretation. I'm trying to get as many opinions as I can, because I don't like forming my own opinion on it, I just want an answer.

Welcome back Haydee!! That 3rd pic doesn't even look real, looks like you dropped your pic on top of a fake beach setting LOL!! Must have nice beaches down there. I'm in a daze from Lost finale last night. I don't know what to think. Jimmy Kimmel had interviews with the cast to get more insight (it came on at like 11pm though, so I recorded it) and 'alternate endings'. I watched the first 10m, I *think* Jimmy Kimmel is going to give me more closure than the finale did--how funny is that?! We took Carson to this Safari park on Saturday, I posted pics on FB I know some of you have seen them! That was INTENSE. They make you sign waivers and stuff because your car could get fubared, and then LUCKILY we bought a bucket of (optional) feed. I think they need to require it. Once you pay you drive into the gate, as soon as we pulled in a million goat/deer/emu (I am terrified of emu!!) and whatever else swarm your car!!! So the lady is like making me inch in, then closes the gate on me. We were stuck at that gate about 15m, then we coordinated throwing food out the window to get them out from in front of the car. Then this ugly ram thing kept following us and head-butting the car. Emu's kept pecking the windows. You can't roll your windows down farther than 6", but I never opened my window.. I was a big pansy. Carson LOVED it. He was going "UHHH?? DAT DAT DAT!" and pointing and getting so excited. We toured around for about 1.5 hours and he loved every minute. Pam when you called me Sat, we were on our way there, that's why C was talking-- it's like an hour drive from our house so he was gettin pissy. I am going to upload a video in a min, those of you on FB need to see it hah hah. They had turtles you could pet at the entrance, some massive ones, and tiny ones.. so the lady said yes you can pick them up, but only a couple inches off the ground. So the big and bigger ones would follow you (creepy), and I was recording one that was coming up behind Carson (they kind of creeped him out too!!) and all of a sudden he snatches up a baby turtle and it was heading straight to his mouth! It was so funny.. so I'm going to go upload that now. Yay everyone is back, back to our rambling!!! :tongue2:

I had a horrible day too!!! I called the photographer this morning, left a voicemail. My intention wasn't even to get a refund at this point, but just to validate that she DID intend to jack up the price to double on our 3rd session, even though we signed the year contract. So I started out very nice, I said I thought maybe since you were out blah blah, and she copped attitude and said "You were given a price sheet when you came in".. NO!!! I said, if I had the price sheet--I WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT! And she said in a snotty tone "I have a hard time believing you didn't get the price list". I was just appalled. STILL kept my cool because I want my pictures. Then she said "I understand if you don't want to come back, the feeling is mutual.". Ruined my whole damn day. THEN Russ calls her and leaves a voicemail, and she had her HUSBAND call Russ back. They were very nice to each other, and her husband even agreed--we should have gotten the original price--BUT since I pissed off his wife, no deal. Nice eh? Now not to mention this jack-up, but I prepaid for 2 1-time sessions in 2010 for holidays, which is non-refundable, and obviously I'm not going back, plus we had a $25 credit. So $$$$ flyin out my ass to this woman and she gives me the big 'fuck you'. I'm just.. ugh, ruined my WHOLE DAY. I'm glad to know she's upset though, I hope she loses sleep, because I will make sure it comes up in conversation all around town. Then we spend 4 hours at a car dealership, walked away with nothing but 4 wasted hours and I was almost late to pick up Carson. OY ready for this day to be O-V-E-R.

Poor Pamela :w00t: She paid $50 for a VIRUS!! FYI anyone who was in that conversation, if you go to download AdAware, make sure you DO NOT "buy" Ad-Ware Pro. Not the same thing. AdAware is FREE.

Listening to Russ helping Dr. PAMela with her computer.. "Forward slash, like you're climbing UP the hill"... hehehehe. I forgot Glee was tonight, Glee and Lost tonight, yayayayayayaya!!! Got dinner going, cornish hens stuffed with wild rice & dried cherries, with an apple butter glaze. Slurp.

Hey Pam, that's actually caused by viruses and malware, means they were deep rooted in your system. We can fix it, don't worry :thumbup: And that means you REALLY needed this clean cause they had access to your important files.

Carson is still sick, but Russ took him to the doc and they said he's just got ear infections again and it's congested him etc. etc. We're on another round of Augmentin! This morning at the daycare it says there's now 2 cases confirmed of H1N1 and strep now. I started giving him flinstone vitamins-with extra immunity support. We were late to work today cause Carson was in bed before I got home last night and I wanted to spend some time with him this morning. Missed my little bubba. Wedding was so goooorgeous, they are such a wonderful family too, made us feel so welcomed despite being the weird white ladies!! HAH!!! The 'mystery plants' I had out back, I think I told ya'll about it.. I planted them in the winter, they died (I thought) but now they've grown over 9ft tall. They are covered in buds, my mom said the're weeds!! I said, it would be really odd for weeds to have grown in the exact spot I planted these 4 plants. In any event, they finally bloomed this morning (see attached) so WHEW they aren't weeds. I called springhillnursery (that's where I order most of my exotic plants), and after 10m he finally found my order for these... They are creme de cassis hollyhock! I can't wait for them to all bloom, each plant has like 5x stalks that range from 7-9ft, and they are covered from bottom to top in buds. I'm very glad they weren't weeds, my mom was convinced they were.. probably because of how huge they had gotten. WHEW!

Daycare just called, Carson knocked a tooth loose by falling on a toy. They said it should heal fine if we don't give him hard things to eat.. which should be fine, because they also said he's so congested he can't breathe well and chokes if he tries to eat. WAAAAAH. We have our sitting with the photographer to look at photos today, daycare called at noon, I called our doc which is closed from noon-1, we don't have a car to go to photographer if Russ goes to get Carson to take him to the doc, I STILL HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT PACKING, and I'm suppose to FLY tomorrow?! CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all get there and have lots of fun tonight, I will see ya'll tomorrow sometime after 2:15pm! We are going to go to breakfast in the morning, take Carson to daycare, then Russ will drop me off on the way to work. Carson's cough is getting worse, his boogers are green and his eyes are watering.. but he hasn't had a fever yet, so I'm still hopeful that he's going to get better any day now!

I grew up with a tank I believe it was, so we never used the disposal. So to this day I have a hard time putting anything in it--Russ on the other hand wants to put EVERYTHING in it. We learned the hard way you can not put the silky strands from fresh corn in there. Knots up and wraps around it all.

I didn't lose that last 50lb either.. damn. I still haven't gotten anything done!!! Carson is plugging along, his snot turned into thick green nastiness this morning, BOO!! Means it is turning into infection. I got more scoop on the swine flu yesterday, the girl in his class had it on Thurs & Fri, and the teach said it's a 7-10 incubation period. So we may not know till I'm already gone. And for interesting gossip---I can't believe she TOLD the daycare workers--- but apparently this stay at home mom was in the ER the night before with her swine flu baby, they gave it tamiflu in the hospital so it masks the symptoms, and she brings it back into daycare. Why would a SAHM need regular daycare you may ask, esp. when baby has swine flu?? BECAUSE SHE'S HAVING AN AFFAIR!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously!!!!! I couldn't believe it. So she said they 'terminated' her. I always wondered what it took to get kicked out of daycare, now I know. I need to tie a string on my finger to remember to think about packing when I get home. I swear I keep forgetting till I get to work and see you guys on the forum LOL. I need to send out the gift (it's not something I care to travel with, NO it doesn't need batteries, it's just bulky), and it's still sitting at home in my closet. Need to wrap the rest. Stress, stress, ahhh.

FAIL!! People really are dumb these days to think they can get away with plagarism. At one point it may have worked, but with the internet.. forget it.

Ready for this weekend?! HARDLY!! I am still stressing about being gone for 3 days. I haven't begun to think about packing. I printed out mapquest to&from everywhere I will be going to&from, and organized that.. got my tickets printed out and the car rental confirmation.. But packing, haven't thought about that yet.. I meant to get some jewelry to go with the dress for the wedding, and never got around to it. Doubt I'll have time this week now. At daycare this morning, they said a kid in Carson's class has a confirmed case of H1N1!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see it now, he gets everything that goes around, Thursday he's going to get H1N1 and then I can't go. Want to take bets?! What's worse, I heard them bitching about it last night (before they knew it was H1N1), apparently it's a stay at home mom, who was still sending her VERY sick kid to daycare!

I don't know if it's because I forgot, or just never cared, but this statement is DEAD ON for the past 2 months. Everytime I come to work, I get 10 different people telling me 10 different scenerios for the coming weather, and then every single time, the stations change their story hourly and then they still get it wrong.

Haydee must be doing all that last minute planning. GOOD LUCK GIRL!! Have you guys been following the oil spill in the gulf? My mom is so distraught about it. I mean it is horrible, but I guess it's not on my mind, apparently she is thinking about it all the time. She use to go there several times a year with her fam and she keeps talking about all the wildlife that's dying, etc. She decided she's volunteering to go do the cleanup of the wildlife when they start it. We have a wildlife refuge around here that is currently training people to go down there, so that's her calling right now. Everytime we have margies at lunch, she gets teary-eyed and brings up the oil spill and how she just wants to go down there and help. Anyway, still can't believe I see you girls Friday!!!! JUDY, I think I know the answer, but was the final conclusion that I will take the shuttle to my car rental? I thought it was.. can't remember now. Thought maybe on Friday I can call when I get in and see what you guys are doing and if you're not busy can take me to get the car. For Sunday I insist on ya'll staying at the party.
