so I've started taking these B complex mega vitamins. I think they've already done a lot to lower my stress levels--not one hysterical crying fit since I've been on 'em. B vitamins are also supposed to lessen "mental confusion." so why did I lie awake for an hour the other morning pondering this: if kato kaelin, johnny cochran, and judge ito were the three stooges, which ones would they be? I'm open to ideas on this one, but be prepared to justify your choices.

colleen parked next to me at work last night, and I noticed that she has a bush/cheney sticker. I really did not need to know that about her. it must be haverized.

haverize - verb. to purposely forget unpleasant or unwanted information.

I've never been a tonight show fan, and so was unaware of the existence of the fruitcake lady until I was sent one of her video clips in a forward. I truly believe that she is the funniest human alive. if you've got high speed internet, watch some of these hellaciously amusing clips.

willow's in bed, and it looks comfy. off I go.

I hate to make yet another bitch/moan post, but I feel bitchy and moany. everything's going all right these days--floors dry, house financing underway, all that--but there's just too much of everything. I need a break. just three days, I think. three days away from everyone and everything, just a comfy bed and books in a quiet place. too bad it won't happen anytime soon. but as soon as march rolls around (that's when stuff at o.d. will become less strenuous; we bought out another freight company and are adjusting), I'm gone. ain't sayin where or when, just that I'll be back. and I can't wait.

willow's surgery went well. get to pick her up tomorrow. poor baby!

not a lot else happening, so I believe I'll go eat some breakfast.

the floors are almost dry, but now my toilet's leaking--the same one that was fixed a few months ago after my bathroom turned into a swamp. for those of you keeping track, that's NOT the same bathroom that had the shower curtain rod fall down. THAT bathroom is the one that had no faucets when we moved in. I'm seriously considering starting a separate blog to chronicle the pitfalls that occur in 4109.

but matters with the house are really taking shape. it's so much fun, like building a house in the sims. only real. with real money. that the bank will hopefully give us. that's the most pressing issue at hand.

the snow that was predicted didn't really materialize, mostly just rain. but it's sooooo cold. another fun electrical bill for next month.

gotta go run some more laundry through the dryer. the one upside to the great deluge of ought-five is that my room will wind up being cleaner than it's been for a while.
