Well, I finally woke up enough to get out of bed and stuff and then David went back to sleep. It’s not fair. 😦

Yesterday afternoon I made pancakes for the first time. Nick thought I was insane, but they turned out really good.

I intended to write last night, but I ended up with a migraine and instead spent the evening lying on the couch moaning. I woke up without a migraine, but I feel another one coming on. I need to go back to the doctor and get real drugs for this. Bleh.

I’m thinking about making some scrambled eggs for breakfast…which is weird because I hate scrambled eggs. The whole apt smells like them this morning though, and it’s a nice smell somehow. *shrugs* I can’t help it, I’ve been weird about food this week.

I have a ton of things to do today (most of which I intended to finish yesterday, but the whole MGT and Best Buy thing took way too much time).

-wash, dry, fold, & put away laundry
-bills
-clean up the four piles o’ stuff (mostly paperwork) in the living room
-clean the kitchen
-make more baby food
-return too small baby stuff to Target
-go to post office

Yay. That doesn’t sound like a lot though, does it? Hmm. Feels like a lot. Specially those four piles. I’ve been avoiding them for about a week now.

Everywhere But Home, I Really Do Cook, My Own Personal Weirdness

well well well.

Saturday night was such fun. 🙂 The party was wonderful, I drank too much, and still managed to make it home on my own two feet. It was a lovely evening, despite the weird guy that kept trying to touch me.

I avoided my computer all day yesterday in an attempt not to hear anything bad to mar my memories of a perfectly lovely party. Oddly enough, no one had anything bad to say about it at all. 🙂

Nick and I spent yesterday reading and playing with David and eating. It was a nice quiet day. I made -both- lunch and dinner, which is weird for me, but the book I’m reading right now makes me feel like cooking (Michaela Roessner’s “The Stars Compel”).

This morning I took David in for his 6-month check-up. He did pretty well right up until the shots. The regular lady wasn’t there to give them and he was upset about that. He bled from the shorts, which normally doesn’t happen, but he’s fine now. He’s had some food and is sleeping happily right now.

We also bought Halloween costumes (mainly for a party we’re going to this weekend). I got a “Leopard Lady” costume, which is sexier than it looks b/c it’s much shorter than it shows in the picture. David got a little “Tigger” costume. It was adorable (not to mention the only thing in about the right size for him). 🙂 Nick says he doesn’t want to wear a costume, so we didn’t get him anything at all.

I just got done making a huge bowl of tuna salad. I don’t have an exact recipe that I follow, so I was worried that I didn’t make enough macaroni, but it turned out looking just fine.

Lisa’s “Perfect” Tuna Salad
2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni (cooked according to directions),drained
12 oz can of tuna (packed in spring water), drained
15.25 oz can of sweet peas, drained
3 stems of celery, sliced thinly
1/2 cup of lite mayonnaise (preferably Hellman’s)
a dash of salt
a dash of paprika

Mix everything in a large bowl and chill, preferably overnight, for best flavor…or if you’re like me and can’t wait…eat it warm straight after mixing! 🙂 Serve with Coke, plain rippled/wavy potato chips, and Lipton’s french onion dip for the ultimate happiness.

dododo. It’s soo good.

Ok, I must eat now. Everyone have a nice afternoon. 🙂

Finding My Birthfamily, I Really Do Cook, What I Love

Meep meep meep!

I got to talk to my half-brother for the first time ever! *bounces all around* It was beyond wonderful. He says he’s weird, the oddball of the family, but that just means that he’s very much like me! :) He’s into music, computers, and Wicca…all of which I am interested in.

*spins around*

I’m very happy, can you tell?

In other news, we got David a little sweatshirt– the kind with a hood and pockets that zips up –and he looks totally adorable in it! If my digital camera worked, I’d shove up a picture of him right now, but it’s broken. *sigh*

Mmm…time for dinner now…taco soup…mmmm….

Bleh. Double bleh.

Bleh.

Double bleh.

I don’t want to eat spaghetti for dinner, but that’s all there is. I’ve had Italian type food every day this week and I am sick of it. Grr.

Anyway, at least I know I’m getting a spiffy Feast gift from Nick. 🙂 He won’t tell me what it is, but he’s ordered it and it might even make it here before we leave for the feast.

In other news, I really think that I have killed my wrist this time. It hurts…more than any other time before…and only feels happy when ensconced in it’s big ol brace. *sigh*
