Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That

Why is December always such a mad rush to the finish line?! I feel like there are a million and one things to do, and I've got two weeks to do them in; it's mind-boggling.

( Just a few things here and there. )

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season so far!

1. I have been absolutely terrible about commenting lately; please forgive me. I have, however, been reading updates and keeping up with things with all of you.

( Odds and Ends. )

11. I think that's all for now. ;)

A few things this morning, and of course, first things first:

coonassblondie has a birthday today!

Happy, happy birthday, Angel!
I hope your day is wonderful!

( Life, the Universe and Everything )

7. I think I'm going to put Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium on the iPod this afternoon while I work. It just feels like that kind of day. :)

My darling kazzy24 is one year older today! 27 years of fabulosity is entirely worth celebrating, in my opinion.

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE!!

I hope your day has been absolutely wonderful, Kazzy!
♥♥♥♥♥ MWAH! ♥♥♥♥♥

Also, I missed wishing kitkats_lj a happy birthday a few days ago, so:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUHAN!

I hope the day was great, Suhan!

superbeffie had a birthday on...Monday, I think it was...and so I am rather late with this, but it's no less heartfelt:

Happy Birthday, Beth!!
I hope your day was wonderful!

1. One of my friends on Facebook had this to say:

So... the 'Miss USA' competition is on TV tonight. This is the one that doesn't want to burden it's contestants with a TALENT (remember kids... looks are EVERYTHING!). Given the choice, I'd rather let a buffalo poop in my ear than watch this.

*LMAO*

He's so right, and I just felt the need to share because it was amusing. XD.

2. I'm feeling a little better. I'm still congested and have a cough, and I still feel like something's pressing on my chest, but at least it's not as bad as it was. Hubby refused to kill me and put me out of my misery when I begged him to do so on Thursday, so I guess this is OK.

I still hate being sick.

Just sayin'.

3. Downside to living on the third floor with a ten-year-old boy: I've felt every single step he's taken in this apartment since we moved because he WALKS LIKE AN ELEPHANT. *rolls eyes*

Also, he scares the CRAP out of me because he can't stay off that balcony and feels the need to jump on it and lean on the railing and Christ on a pogo stick, he's going to give me a damn heart attack. I'M ONLY 31.

4. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANGEL!!
Hope your day was fabulous!! XOXOXO

5. Updated my reading list, as I've now finished both City of Bones and City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare - who, incidentally, has an LJ and has introduced me to some of the most expensive shoes I've ever seen, but MAN, are they awesome! I want so many, it's got to be wrong somehow. Check it out, these shoes are so fun.

6. That's all for now - it's bedtime. Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. ;)

It's loveweasleys04's birthday today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETH!
I hope your day is absolutely FABULOUS!!

( An interesting evening, to say the least... )

In other news, my father-in-law is 60 today. :) We're sending him a card and an 8x10 photo of the three of us because we haven't seen him in about six or seven years - distance sucks, sometimes.

1. It's my supervisor's birthday today, which I knew earlier this week and told myself to remember, but then this morning rolled around and I promptly forgot. *rolls eyes at self*

Happily, a coworker reminded me, and we're all chipping in for a gift - which happens to be a bracelet and some earrings to go with the necklace she's wearing today. I just signed the card, which is cute.

And hopefully, it'll cheer her up; the gift and card, I mean, not what I wrote. She came in today in just the WORST frame of mind. I made her laugh, but still - her day's been crummy so far, and that's never fun on your birthday.

2. We got Mikey's mid-term report yesterday...whoo, we had a very LOUD discussion last night. He's a smart kid and understands everything just fine, and we make sure he does all his homework, all the time, every time. But his grades are super low...because he never turns any of it in!! *growls in frustration*

So we've had a couple of email conversations with his teacher and his reading teacher, and thankfully they're willing to work with us - and him - to make sure he hands his stuff in. They're sending home all the assignments he hasn't finished, so he's got a nice, homework-filled weekend ahead of him. YAY, I get to have the TV off for a while!! *hehe*

3. ( Liked this art personality test thingy Muggs posted, decided to give it a try...highly accurate, if you ask me. )

4. I LOVE the shirt I'm wearing today, everyone always compliments me when I wear it...but this is only the second time I've actually worn it because for some unknown reason, the fabric stains my underarms... Not my arm-pits, I mean the... *is searching for the word I want* ...the tricep area of my upper arm, the side of the arm that rests against your torso. I don't get it, I've washed the shirt, I don't wear any lotions or body sprays or anything like that, and deodorant doesn't go on that part of my arm, so what's up with it? Any ideas? I'm going to have to find a thin, 3/4 sleeve undershirt or something to wear under it if I want to keep using it, because scrubbing it off helps a little, but most of it just had to fade off last time. And I've been checking periodically throughout the day, and sure enough, my arms are turning grey-ish purple. Fashion know-it-alls, I need some help, please.

5. Speaking of clothes, I found the pants I want in my newest catalog, but have to narrow it down to two pair instead of all five (one in each color)...go figure...

6. I have no idea why I'm numbering my points...apparently, I feel organized today...

That's all for now. :)

EDIT: SUHAN!! I'm sorry, I forgot to wish you a happy birthday on Tuesday!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, kitkats_lj!
I hope it was wonderful!
