And the winner is : BAD

This morning while I was snug and cozy in my warm little bed my children awoke. They made their own breakfast and then - on their own - decided that they should clean their rooms. Awwww. What sweethearts. Whilst endeavoring to get on Mommy’s good side VIA clean and organized rooms, the children found a pillow I had made a while back with a broken zipper. No problem, they decided, Mommy can fix it. Here, let us toss it onto the counter where she is sure to find it when she wakes up.

And find it I did.

I also found the full glass of water that the pillow knocked down as it was tossed onto the counter. I then found that my power button on my laptop squirted water when I tried to push it. When I went to bed last night I did not have the water gun feature… And….Wasn’t the lap top still on when I went to bed Last night?

FUCK!

We rushed the LapTop in for emergency surgery, but the technition Doctor is not optimistic. I think it had something to do with the laptop spewing water all over his shoes when he turned it over to look at it.

We left the laptop there for “drying and diagnostics” but when the dude said it would take a week or two for us to hear back, we decided to just buy this :

It’s an HP and has lots of interesting words to describe whats inside that involved raised eyebrows and several exclamations of SWEET!! from my husband as he and the red-shirted hottie discussed it. I like it because it is shiny.

(I thought about taking a photo of the children with today’s newspaper, but I’m lazy so you will just have to take my word for it that they are still alive)

Uhm. Ok

This morning it was minus 27, -35 with the windchill. (I made the kid walk to school cus I am mean like that)

Twenty minutes ago I put on an extra pair of socks, a sweater and a sweater (that means I put on two - a bunny hug and a button up sweater made out of wool that the cat keeps chewing on at night so it is all frayed and icky but WARM). I put my coat on, my hat on and grabbed my rabbit fur lined mitts. Then I spent five minutes lacing up my boots so I could go on an OMG if I don’t have chips and dip this very moment I may very well die. And since we all know death means you end up a zombie who wanders around moaning baaaacon baaacoooOOON, braving the cold seemed worth it.

Imagine my surprise when I got outside to find out that not only is it ABOVE zero, it was raining as well. I’m guessing Global Warming finally caught up to Saskatchewan?

Now if you will excuse me, I have chips that need to be dipped.

pls insert bullets at your own discretion

Damn I am GOOOOOOD. No really. I am super excellent. Awesome even.

I called the theater today and gave them a link to my post. Heh. I did it just for shits and giggles. And cus I was board. But then, some hot shot dude (Can you be a hot shot if you work at the El Cheapo Theater?) called me back and said that there was a pair of tickets to One Missed Call waiting for us and he was sorry for the inconvenience! I just about died laughing! I seriously enjoyed telling him that that Friday night was the last night (*sob*) me and hubs would be out, together, for the eight weeks because our baby sitters ditched us for Arizona and that his tickets were useless and no I would not remove a post that puts ME in a bad light, not them. For Christ Sake. I didn’t even NAME them!

Ahnnyway. Guess I’m not banned anymore. Oh Hey! Hubs brought home supper and an ice cream cake for Valentines so I didn’t have to cook. Now If only I could teach the dog to do dishes, I’d be set!

My ultrasound appointment, you ask? She flat out refused to give me a picture of Boob Baby Bekah AND they sprung a surprise mammogram on me. This is bad, becuase if you know in advance and avoid all caffeine, a mammogram causes a slight discomfort. But. If you don’t know it is coming and start drinking Java at six that morning, dammit, that shit hurts!

She said my Doc will have the results of both tests in the next 24 hours. Will do my best to keep you informed!
