Cold here (weather wise and fever wise). Getting ready for work where I thankfully don't need to be around people. I like people but don't want to make anyone sick. Just finished talking with a nutso friend who wants me to move with him and his gf to Montana to be a part of some survivalist compound because the government is whack, yo. THEY ARE HOARDING WATER. Or something like that. I had to let him down gently. Zero interest in being a part of Waco v 2.0
I have a dear friend from Waco :) I would have just said "That assface Koresh" but Waco is what most folks remember. Absolutely no offense intended. <3
Ok so some of you may remember me from CDaN and may also remember that I have four daughters. Four daughters with long, thick, curly hair. Daughter #2 comes up to me last night and says, "When I was taking a shower I found some bugs in my hair." Me: "Are you fucking serious?!" ALL FIVE OF US HAVE LICE. Including me. I hate life.
oh no!! that is horrible :( I remember when I was in my early teens (late 1980's) I went on a mission trip to Mexico with my youth group and we all came back with head lice. NOT FUN. You have my sympathy!!
If you are going to treat it yourself use tea tree oil. It works better than the OTC stuff.
My daughter and I had it 6 years ago. She got to sit in the special reading chair at school and her reward was bringing home lice! We hired the "lice lady" who spent hours with the tiniest comb (Stuart Little size) combing out every last little bugger from our heads. If you are not patient and have hours to do this, I'd hire someone.
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! @All Lace ... I called the one service we have here in Wisconsin and they never called me back. Although after picking through 5 heads, I now may hire myself out as a Lice Lady! I'm using the Nit Nanny line of products which has tea tree oil in it. It's very oily but not as pungent and chemical-smelling as Rid.
See the bright spot and a new career! I totally feel you @chopchop, we had the great lice infestation 8 years ago. I burst into tears at Target, and my son was acting like a bafoon at the grocery store parking lot, and I kinda called him a dickhead. Not my best Mommy Moment LOL
I was about the empathise about the bug until I read it was lice! Curly hair problems - I had a beetle in my hair and only realised because I was playing with my hair and I touched it.
Thinking about Thanksgiving coming up a week from today. Both my parents and my s.o. parents are deceased, so no family. When asked today what we're having for Thanksgiving dinner, I thought "Why spend hours making dinner that we'll eat once or twice and then it sits in the fridge until it starts to grow fuzzy green stuff on it?" I'm thinking corn dogs....
@Karen - my partner and I don't really do the traditional Thanksgiving either. I don't have the foggiest idea how to cook a turkey. This year I'm gonna make a potroast in the slow cooker and maybe a few side dishes just for the hell of it. But my favorite part of Thanksgiving - a tradition I started almost ten years ago is getting up in the morning and watching each season's Thanksgiving episode of Friends :)
@Rose, my must-have dish is Buttercup Squash Pie. It's excellent. Much tastier, I think, than pumpkin. Corn dog and buttercup squash pie. That's my plan. And then a nap to recover from the exhaustion!
@Karen, you can do what we do for Christmas dinner. He hit the local chinese food buffet! Sounds crazy but we love it. And it is loads of fun going against the grain.
This year we are brining chicken breasts and doing the usual stuffing, potatoes and a veggie, with lots of fun snacks and desert.
A friend of mine shaved the side of her head Demi Lovato style a month ago and now she's freezing all the time. Even when sitting in warm coffee houses.Flying home next week is not going to be fun for her.
I have food poisoning. I never go to restaurants or eat take away for this VERY reason (and i'll admit although I'm in recovery from anorexia I still have issues with certain foods) but alas I went out to eat Tuesday night, nice restaurant...FOOD POISING! :/ so while I stay home and close to the loo I did some online shopping and bought an exquisite leather purse to ease the pain :)
For lunch we had sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and butterfly shrimp. Hi light of the day. The first year Mr. Min Pin and I were married, we ordered 2 turkey dinners from Luby's on Thanksgiving. Drove over, picked them up (they were packed) and took them home for our dinner. That was fast, easy and they were excellent.
Cough here, saw dr and got some meds. Learned BP was a bit high, will hv retaken in 3 wks. Obama giving speech tonight and Fox wint be showing it! This blows my mind! Isnt that news? No matter what your corporate dogma is, first and firemost presudent making speech is news. Plain and simple. Blows my mind!!!!!
I just think it's amazing how the President has been disrespected over the last few years. Not just Obama, but even Bush. I agree no matter what your belief in politics, respect the office!
CBS has to air that nerd show and Assface Kutcher's last few episodes. No way ABC is gonna pre-empt Shondra and NBC - what the hell does NBC even have they can't air the president's speech? Parks and Recreation doesn't start until January.
Working my ass off on a call campaign for work. And have a late call with Malaysia. Hoping to make some shrimp and grits for dinner before the Opster's 6:30 class. It's gonna be close.
Honestly im thinking about making a W4M ad for craigslist i have never done it before but im so bored of life i just want something fun and exciting to happen... ill probably meet a mid-40s meth addict with a desire to trick me out but anything is better than this
Stupidly on day 2 of mega cooking spree to take to my mummsy this weekend, who's been sick. Stupidly, it is 30+°c, & our aircon needs fixing. Still, I love cooking (for others). Later going to ride around with hubby on his last bus run, then go out for a beer. Such an exciting life!
Oh, and I was flicking through the wishing books (catalogues) on the couch in shorts. Felt something under my thigh and it was a freaking creepy albino snail. I screamed the house down and scrubbed myself raw in the shower. Mega ew.
sick..watching "Lola Versus" &,, this

ReplyDeleteHey now, don't throw Waco into this.. we are known for a fantastic Whiskey and the Baylor Bears!
DeleteLove,

ReplyDeleteBoth of my kids had lice last year and I had to do load after load of laundry for 13 hours straight. And I was sober for 11 of those hours. It sucked!
Deleteoh no!! that is horrible :( I remember when I was in my early teens (late 1980's) I went on a mission trip to Mexico with my youth group and we all came back with head lice. NOT FUN. You have my sympathy!!
DeleteUgh! That sucks!. I have three daughters and went through it once, i get the shivers just thinking about it. I'm sorry!!!

DeleteOMFG. Sending you prayers and positive energy. What a nightmare.
DeleteArgh!@Jessie!
DeleteI decided to get my house ready for Thanksgiving next week by steam cleaning my carpets, but yeah...not really happening.
ReplyDeleteJust listened to this weeks Serial podcast, yep I'm obsessed. It was a good one!

DeleteMy sister-in-law suggested fondue for a non-traditional Thanksgiving and I'm ALL OVER THAT! I love dipping food in other foods!
DeleteMe too! I've made it from scratch, but I love the packaged stuff. And minimal cleanup too.

@Rose Lizenberg - Don't forget the Thanksgiving episode of Cheers!
Delete@Rose I do the Roseanne Thanksgivings :)
DeleteRoseanne had great T-day shows as well :)
DeleteI'm so pissed at some inconsiderate co-workers right now. I know my BP is through the roof. Why do I even care? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, I had a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips. So, I guess the day isn't a total cluster.
A friend of mine shaved the side of her head Demi Lovato style a month ago and now she's freezing all the time. Even when sitting in warm coffee houses.Flying home next week is not going to be fun for her.
ReplyDeleteEven with a damn fine cup of coffee?
DeleteSorry. I just love your avi.
I love yours too Dawn Weiner.
DeleteShe needs a beanie Jason. I survived several winters with a mohawk.

ReplyDeleteNBC, CBS & ABC aren't airing it either!! I'll be watching it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow :)
DeleteI believe all the news networks are showing it. However broadcast networks are not airing it.

ReplyDeleteI thought you only chewed gum, Margaret.
DeleteMy husband brought home a bag of candy corn and it's like crack. Can't stop eating it!
DeleteWorking my ass off on a call campaign for work. And have a late call with Malaysia. Hoping to make some shrimp and grits for dinner before the Opster's 6:30 class. It's gonna be close.
ReplyDeleteYou mention Malaysia, now all I can think about is Derek Zoolander.
DeleteHonestly im thinking about making a W4M ad for craigslist i have never done it before but im so bored of life i just want something fun and exciting to happen... ill probably meet a mid-40s meth addict with a desire to trick me out but anything is better than this
ReplyDeleteTry a dating website before Craigslist. I know a few people that have found them successful.
DeleteThursday is a good day for me. Got off work early, met the girls for coffee, and got fed up and unistalled Cookie Jam from my phone.
ReplyDeleteSame old same old.
ReplyDeleteI got some round knitting looms, so it's hats for everyone!
ReplyDeleteI have been doing this as well! I'm doing some Infiniti scarfs as well with just a looser stitch. :) in case you want to switch it up a bit.
Delete@Canadian - well that's cool. I've never seen a round loom just the regular kind (my aunt had a loom and a spinning wheel she used).

ReplyDeleteI lost a friend yesterday to cancer. She has two sons aged 17 and 14. I'm devastated.
