My excuses

So ... um ... it's been a few days.

Why?
I've been catching up on housework. Folded laundry. Put it away. Doing dishes. Putting them away. Trying to get our local Cub Scout packs registered for the upcoming Veteran's Day parade ... not having a ton of luck with that as of yet. Called insurance to see if we'd have to pay anything out of pocket for flu shots (Good news = Nothing out of pocket! Our doctors' office RULES!!!!!!1!!!). Updated the website for my Cub Scout pack. Been reading. Right now I'm in the middle of a couple of books.
Found out the reason I have server problems on Gaia and NosTale is that the phone line in our home (which the DSL runs through ... kinda duh, right) is old and crappy.

*sigh*

Good thing is that, the last few days, I've heard back from a few friends. One's baby is overdue (but she and he are perfectly healthy) ... one's balancing motherhood and her Master's projects ... just the normal things. ^_^

And, I've found that my main thrill this week is sending people entertaining links ... or saying things that are entertaining enough ... that I make them either choke with laughter or nearly wet their pants. Well, that is if I've chosen something REALLY awesome. At least making them smile is a good thing.

In other news, I need a shower. I took a bath yesterday, so I could read a few chapters ... and get warmed up. But my hair's driving me nutso.

I'm looking forward to America's Next Top Model tonight. Yes, I am just that sad. But I do have to say that I really liked Bones and House last night.

I'm making chili tonight. I hope that it turns out.
I might run over to the church tonight and get my temple recommend updated. I keep forgetting to do that. Anyone know when they stop taking the non-bar-coded ones?
I need to update Michael's and my voter's registration. I mean, yeah, we've ONLY been in the new place for TEN MONTHS. I keep needing to just. do. it ... not keep talking about it and then forgetting to do it. *headdesk*

I should get some yard work done.
After I read my library books ... sometime.

I had this nasty dry skin spot on my ankle. Turns out it was eczema. It's almost all healed now. I heart me some prescription-strength hydrocortisone cream. Yes, I do.

Bruise sat on the potty today. Nothing really happened. But he was sure glad to be there, all cold and dripping from being straight out of the bath.
Bucket "crawled" (for lack of a better term ... she walked backwards on her feet and hands all bent over like she was about to do a somersault) on her head. Hilaritiosity ensued.

And, yes, I can SO use hilairitiosity if I want to. It's my blog, so there.

I'm kinda out of things to say. My brain's tired.

And is it bad just to vote for a measure because Big Tobacco is against it?
I figure that since Big Tobacco is against it, and I'M against Big Tobacco, I should be for it.
Kinda that whole "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" logic.
Is that a good enough reason?
