The mystery to the inability to keep the internet working at my house was solved today. Four and a half years this took. GAH. (Answer: our home security system. The guys that set it up forced the system to bypass the phone lines so if a burglar broke in and took the phone off the hook/cut the line, that wouldn't prevent the security company from being notified. Well, that's nice and all, but it's screwing up our home phone and internet, which we use far more than our lovely answering dudes at the security office. So. Resolved.)
1. I slammed the tip of my middle finger in my husband's truck so badly that my whole finger turned BLACK within minutes. That is some seriously bad pain, and I've delivered a baby naturally and passed a kidney stone. Tonight is the first time I've been able to use my finger. Well, in the manner for which it was intended. (That sounds dirty. I didn't mean it to...)
2. An old high school boyfriend caught up with me from Facebook today, and I'm STILL glowing. Here's why (Kita: OH. MY. GOD.) He looks like Vincent Kartheiser from "Another Day in Paradise." That scene? Where's he's walking in the leather jacket and smoking? That's how he looked in high school. He sent me a picture of him, just taken on a trip to Amsterdam, and he looks THE EXACT SAME. But you know, in his 30s. *bites fist* Now, I'm not saying I'm going to cheat on my husband. I'm just saying that in my fantasy world, Vincent Kartheiser in the form of one of the nicest and sexiest guys I ever dated, thinks I'm hot and wants to "hook up for drinks" some time and catch up, I do. Cheat. But only in the fantasy world, honest engine! Ahahaha. Ahem. *tugs collar*
3.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! It's subtle, if you're not getting it. Bill Stickers is innocent! [/random]
4. I owe emails to Lee and Sue - they're coming! (Sue: I didn't get the package mailed in time because a) I suck and b) I found... something that needed to go in. It's going out tomorrow. *g*)
5. There's a salon at my gym and I got my hair done after a workout today and I feel faaaaaaaabulous. Life, although unbearable hot currently, is pretty sweet, y'all.
[ETA] 6. Because I'm forgetful. LYNNE: I watched something earlier this week that has had me think of you over and over, because I know you would laugh and quote with me: "I AM NATURE'S GREATEST MIRACLE!!!" (I know you're not a fool, because my mother taught me never to kiss a fool! ...Karl!)

Date: 2008-07-22 12:00 am (UTC)Yikes to the finger. Why do we get so distracted when closing tailgates or heavy ass doors? I have a tendency to catch my baby toes on table and dresser legs. It's not like the furniture hasn't been in the same damn place for a decade or more!
Hahaha! How would you even fashion that costume. I have short arms and legs, but a hand made outfit would be a mean feat of engineering.
Oh, and I'm with the above comment. PICTURES!

Date: 2008-07-22 12:05 am (UTC)As for the finger, his door has a hinge that lets it open to a certain point, and my finger was caught on the edge of the door and the side-view mirror of the car parked next to it. *cries*
Pictures will come!

Date: 2008-07-22 12:01 am (UTC)And, oh, I'm so glad we still get to be master of our own thoughts and fantasies and can take ourselves off to happy fantasy realms that have no basis in reality whatsoever (in one of my alternate universes, I know just what to say *at the moment I need to say it*), then come on home to ourselves. It can be both a way to relieve the stresses of daily living and come to understand all the ways in which you are truly blessed. Fantasies are necessary.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-22 12:06 am (UTC)Yes to master of our fantasy worlds! I've *cough* been thinking of all the ways that it would be acceptable for me to, well. You can see where I'm going here. *G*

#3. It took me a second but AHAHAHA.
So. M and I were talking the other day about when we can arrange a visit out to see you. (Is the thing in August still on in ATL?) I'm thinking, if you're up for it, another trip to Big Tex, and this time I won't get sick!
ILUSTONEY. <3 <3 <3

Date: 2008-07-22 12:08 am (UTC)2. Holy shit, Lee. Let's just say that he was hot when we were kids and just got better looking. (Plus: he's an ironman triathlete. HELLO.)
3. Oh, Yeah!!!
It's still in ATL on that day, but I'm thinking it might be more trouble than it's worth. I TOTALLY want you two to come any time, State Fair would be great, too!! (What if I could pull off a trip there before then? Are you swamped and that's a bad idea?)
ILU LEE!! I miss you, cookie pants! <3

Did your mangled bloody finger fall off yet? Thank god your new bootiful hair will distract people from seeing it and screaming for the baby jesus to save them. (hope it's okay, if not get one of the kids to whip something up with playdoh.)

Date: 2008-07-23 02:32 am (UTC)I just had images of us being drunk and happy in NYC, btw. This may or may not be in relation to the massive portions of wine I've drunk tonight.
My finger is still intact, although hideous. If all else fails, I've loads of modeling clay and can fashion something interesting. (And smuggle my drugs! Hahaha, Mr. FBI man! I KID.)

Hahahahaa! That would be a fabulous costume but sitting/peeing/walking through doorways would be an issue. (But not walls. Heh.)

Ah, youth. And yes, I agree that the format sucks. The Buffy trivia add-on is its only saving grace. ;)

I have missed you. I'm sorry you have a black finger. That's just...well it's gross that's what it is.
I loved the picture. I can always use a giggle.
Anyhoo. I just wanted to say hey.

Date: 2008-07-22 01:46 pm (UTC)I have missed you, too. I'm hoping that things are starting to mellow out a bit at your end. If not, here's a silver lining for you: I bought school supplies yesterday. The end is nigh!!
