Well, thanks to the intestinal bug my daughter gave me, I’ve lost 3 pounds in the last 24 hours.
Thanks, but I’d rather be fat than lose the weight like this. Ugh.
Somehow, I don’t think I should count this.
Okay, crawling back into bed again until the next bout.
…that keep on giving. And mine appears to have given me whatever pukey stomach virus she had on Sunday and Monday.
Worst. Birthday gift. Ever.
sigh.
Primary Goal: don’t be fatter at this year’s Simucon than last year’s.
“Impossible Dream” Goal: weigh less than you did at Simucon 2 years ago.
It’s my birthday, so no time like the present. Let’s shoot for the Impossible Dream.
Aaaaand….. GO!
Apparently, though, I am exceptionally evil. And gratified.
However, tomorrow is my birthday, and when I plugged in my new age, I learned that I will apparently become much, much less evil tomorrow. Ah, well. We all mellow.
What had been just some kind of garden variety cold bug for my daughter seems to have gotten worse, with her waking up, stumbling out of bed, and throwing up all over the house tonight. Twice. Plus other intestinal problems.
Poor baby.
If I’m not answering your IMs, it’s because I’m tending to my daughter. Here’s hoping it’s all over soon and she’s back to her happy, weird self.
I’ve seen a lot of interesting (and I mean that in a good way!) designs in the past eight years doing weddings for DR, but I swear, there’s still something new every day.
Today’s new thing: A chastity belt. It wasn’t called that, but that’s so what it was.
I love our players, they’re so creative. 😉
We got new windows in our home a couple of weeks ago. The new ones are double-paned, well-sealed, and generally much more weathertight than our previous wooden single-paned ones which came with the house forty years ago. Well, apparently the old ones had been providing an avenue for ladybugs to get in and lay their eggs. While looking out at the snow, I’ve found about 16 ladybugs on the south-facing windows of our house this weekend. They were on the inside, crawling up, trying to get out. Given the snow and ice, it’s probably just as well they couldn’t.
After looking on the internet (thank you, Ladybug lady!), I found out that they’d be just fine inside for a while with the right conditions. So now they’re in a plastic container with holes punched in the top, a moist paper towel (apparently they die inside of dehydration instead of starvation) and a few raisins, which they seem to enjoy greatly. Oh, and there’s some tufts of grass in there for good feng shui. At right is a pic for the curious.
We think we’ll take it to my daughter’s kindergarten class tomorrow, assuming school’s in. Quite the little science project!
