Look! Bunnies!!
November 5, 2009 at 10:34 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentI don’t feel like writing a whiney, complainy post today so I’m not going to. Instead, I’m going to tell you about happy, funny, or silly things. Just because! Grab a cup of tea, this will be fun!
–HP and I still have date night about once a week. Last night we went to an Italian restaurant up the road for their Mon-Wed special. It’s $31.95 for dinner for two and includes a bottle of wine, half loaf of warm bread, 2 entrees, 2 salads, 2 desserts. You pick from anything on the menu except the lobster. It was very good!
–My sister and I never got along growing up and we often fought by screaming horrible things at each other and occassionally hitting each other. I think it was mostly me, because I was a bratty teenager with plenty of issues. Within the last year we have become super close and I wish she lived nearby so we could spend more time together.
–I am currently obsessed with babies. And, even moreso, baby names. I keep compiling lists of boys’ and girls’ names that I like and reading baby name websites. We are not planning on getting pregnant any time soon.
–While I don’t get health insurance with this gig, I do have unlimited access to free water and tea! I refill my water bottle all day and drink mug after mug of green tea. My skin looks soooo good!
–HP came home with the some new multivitamins (for Her!) for me the other night and I’ve been taking them every day for the past three days and my fatigue has subsided! It looks like Jaycee was right and I was lacking in some vitamins. I feel so much better! I still pass out on the couch at about 9:30 - pretty standard for me - but I am no longer a walking zombie during the day.
–When we’re walking the dogs and we see rabbits in the grass I yell, “Look! Bunnies! HI BUNNIES!! HIIII!” as if the bunnies are my pets or, somehow, understand my greeting. In reality I’m pretty sure they are thinking “HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE DOGS. HOP!! HOP FOR YOUR LIFE!!”
Ok, I’m off to get more tea!

- how and where a baby should sleep
- bottle-feeding vs. breastfeeding
- what religion to follow
- public school vs. private school vs. homeschooling
- whether to participate in advanced education
- alcohol consumption, yea or nay
- premarital sex, yea or nay
- whether to use birth control
- whether to have children
- whether to marry
- fixed-rate vs. variable-rate mortgage
- how clean to keep the house
- a good name for a baby
Here are some things I think there's more than one way to think about, but that a community needs to make a decision about as a whole—not deciding "right" from "wrong," but just deciding for consistency what can be done when:
- driving age
- truancy age
- drinking age
- marrying age
- voting age
- speed limits
- public park curfews
Here are some of the things I think there is only one way to think about and are not open for community vote, because human beings have not been given that kind of power over other human beings:
- whether skin color changes a person's rights
- whether ethnic origin changes a person's rights
- whether sex changes a person's rights
- whether sexual orientation changes a person's rights

I’m Not Too Old For Rollercoasters
October 31, 2009 at 8:36 pm | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentI was going to tell you the story about my interview on Friday, and how before the interview I was going to hit the gym, except I went outside and my car battery was DEAD and I’m not even kidding. So I called HP to come home from work and jump start my car, and then drive to the auto parts store to buy a new battery and then went and aced my interview.
I guess I did tell you, what do ya know?
And then I got home from acing my interview and had to meet with the property management company because all residents received a notice that “it has come to our attention that some residents are in violation of our pet policy” and then proceeded to list all of the restricted breeds including Rottweilers, natch, and that even MIXES that include those RESTRICTED, AGGRESSIVE breeds must be removed.
Do I even need to tell you about the stress I was feeling? For reals, yo, I almost threw up before we left. And as we were walking out the door HP looked at me and said YOU CANNOT BE CRYING YET. WE’RE NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. So I took a minute and went down and I’m not going to incriminate myself by telling you how we’re going to skirt this issue. Let’s just say, we’ll be flying under the radar and walking the dogs mostly when it’s dark. Eesh.
I really need this job so that I can start banking some savings in case we have to pick up and move unexpectedly KNOCK ON WOOD.
Anyway, today we went to King’s Dominion and road every roller coaster in the park (except for the one that was closed.) I was the wuss of the group because even though I love roller coasters, I don’t love the front row. The very, very front row where HP and our two friends wanted to sit. So HP and Sandy took turns having to sit with me in the second row. Whatevs.
And now we’re going to sit back, watch the game, eat pizza and drink beer. Hey, I might be on this health kick where 80% of my meals consist of greens but, you know, it’s Halloween.
Boo.
