Thursday Post-Its

  • What I didn't say in the previous post was that the doctor who treated SB's bow stuck in the throat actually emailed the x-ray to my husband because it was so "incredible and funny" . . . And, really, this is the stuff ER folks "live" for, right?  I mean, you want to be on shift to see this stuff.  
  • Crickles is home again today.  Three days.  Bad cold.  I'm treating him with OTC's and not taking him to the doctor - even though the school rules say past three days they want a doctor note - he's not got anything a doctor can treat, but he's not well enough to sit at school coughing on everyone and feeling crappy.  Fortunately, the office staff I spoke to this morning agreed with me . . . I'll be picking up his school work this afternoon, after school lets out.  
  • I am getting sucked into FaceBook.  This is not a good thing.  It is a medium where my new friends keep in touch - regularly - if not by text messaging.  So, I am now FBing more than I ever intended (not my new friends fault, I have weird OCD behaviours, but at least I don't get depressed when there's no comments, messages, etc. - I get "depressed" because of my compulsion to check so often and I want to yell at myself for this compulsion and I don't want to care that much!).  
  • Text messaging.  I said I'd never do it, but I find it fun . . . I just can't type fast enough on my dinosaur phone.  I even called AT&T Wireless about when I can do the phone upgrade . . . C'mon February!  Yeah?  But, dernit, I do.not.need.fancy.dodads.  I just want to text on a keyboard - a regular phone pad to type on is "so obnoxious" and I have thin patience for wonderful technology on old technology.
  • I'm reading Carrie Fisher's "Wishful Drinking" book that I picked up at Border's last night.  I like her writing, because she is honest about how ding-a-ling-y Hollywood is.  Try living in it/around it your whole life . . . I can't imagine.  NO, I have desire to ever be "discovered" now.  I spent a lot of my youth dreaming about being a "star" . . . I thank God that He didn't allow me that!  I would have been an even worse version of destruction to myself had I had money and fame confused with my youth!
  • My friend is buying us some bagels while she's out grocery shopping.  SO, before she gets back and brings them over, I better get my arse outta my pj's and shower etc. It's almost 9:30 am.  Ridiculous!  Normally, I'm "together" by 8am but . . . I have not been sleeping particularly well lately due to my allergies and rude nighttime breathing.  In other words:  I must be snoring (ah, embarrassing!) slightly and waking on and off through the night.  It's not helpful to being alert much the next day.

I for one am loving talking on FB with you-just that little extra! My phone has a data plan, and I have 400 texts/month...my nieces in college keep me busy!

I hear you on the fb thing! I try to stay away from it, but I get obsessed!

Erika said...

I know what you mean about fb...I fund that if I ask questions, i get more comments.

There is NEVER a dull moment at your house is there?! Would love meeting you occasionally on fb...Cathy

In someways, I think FB is kind of like "big brother!" I check occasionally, but have only posted twice. As for texting...I finally gave in & bought a text package. My son in college will answer a text, but almost never an e-mail. Funny...I grew up w/o e-mail or text. I'm fine...or so I think!!!
I loved our visit to Hawaii...can't wait for you to post more pics!

Lots of people have been inviting me to fb, but gosh I have so much I already have trouble keeping up with that I am trying to avoid fb as long as possible (but I do hear it calling my name).

I pray that you soon get and keep eveyone well...seems like coughs just linger and linger.

blessings and hugs,

marcy

Christine said...

facebook sucks you in and is annoying all at once.

i admit it...i am a snorer. it sucks but what do i do? it's those dang allergies!

texting is so much more convenient...i like it way more then actually having to talk on the phone anymore!

have a great weekend!!

gotta watch that fb thing.
i don't ever go on there.
my best friend called me the other day, upset that she had "friended" me and i never accepted.
silly her, i said. we are already real"friends" and besides i don't ever remember my password.
i am pretty OCD myself. which is probably why i've avoided twitter, fb and the whole texting thing.

sorry about your allergies. that snoring thing can be tough too. my hubby snores ALOT. and LOUD. and keeps me up quite a bit. it's funny that after all these years i still can't seem to get totally used to it.
some nites i feel like the snoring is actually inside my head....

have a love-er-ly weekend dear!
