Knee Deep in the Hoopla

So aside from the one time this weekend I tried to post but Blogger was down for "scheduled maintenance" I have no excuses for the lag time between posts.

What I've been doing since last Tuesday:
  • Buying bronzer. Do you realize how many types of bronzer there are out there?
  • Cardinals game. Cards v. Cubs, installment # 5 of the season. Cardinals won. How sad am I that Derek Lee wasn't in the Cubbies' lineup? Why, not sad in the least. And to the Cubs fan lady that sat in front of us, I say "bite me". Your fake fingernails were stupid, just like your pathetic dirty looks.
  • Trying to figure out what to wear to the christening this weekend. Gah, I hate clothes shopping in this town.
  • Cleaning up barf. Cassady and I both puked Friday night. Too bad I never trained him to take care of that business in the toilet like me. Instead? He opted for the carpet in front of the washing machine. Super!
  • Rearranging the Pine Room. We got some couches from my Grandma (who's being more or less evicted by my uncle) so we put those in the Pine Room and moved the luscious futon into the spare bedroom for guests. The new (to us ) couches were built by my Grandpa, so I know they'll last forever. Thanks Grandpa!
  • Working in the yard. Spring smells so good.
  • Not blogging. Something happened in the last week that has cut off all imaginative thought processes and rendered me witless and without a lick of gumption to put down any thoughts for others to see.

Work is beyond manic/chaotic/hectic right now. I'm not using that as an excuse for anything but the mental drain that is the cause for the last bullet point. And I simply refuse to use this as an outlet for work venting. I won't be Dooced! But I may be damned.

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Should Be Working...

...but I'm not. It's ten-to-six and I still have two things I absolutely must get done before I can leave this god-forsaken computer alone for the 14 hours in between work days. So naturally, I'm here instead. I've developed some twitches lately. I've heard these come up as a result of stress and it's not like I haven't ever experienced a twitch, but never these body parts. Who's ever heard of a twitch in your ear lobe? Not really. My index finger on my right hand, my quad muscle on my left leg, my eye and my upper lip have taken turns twitching for extended periods over the last couple of weeks. They're minor irritations of course, but the index finger twitch is seriously affecting my typing and enjoyment of sitting at the keyboard for hours on end. I'll be sitting there with my fingers resting on the keys and out of nowhere, there's three J's out there on the screen from Sir Index Finger jumping up and down of its own accord. What's
