Didn't finish my fic yet. Wanted to research a few more things -- fanfic is educational! And no, I wasn't doing the same kind of research that anael does! ;) Instead, this is what happened yesterday afternoon:

Was making a pitcher of tea in my new sun tea jar; I've used it maybe half a dozen times (we go through like a gallon of tea a day) and I was stirring it and a triangle chunk of glass just broke perfectly out of the back of the jar and the kitchen was flooded with tea. We all started laughing and mom was telling me about this time when she was a teenager and that happened at their house at the exact same time her Uncle Joe (who was living with them) fell out of bed and broke his hip. So I was like "that's creepy" and was thinking how much I was gonna freak out if one of my brothers called and said something had happened.

Then Jeff (mom's boyfriend -- also sometimes called my stepdad even though he's not) went upstairs to get something and he was walking out of their bedroom and bumped into one of the side tables there -- and it broke. Like snapped down the middle and fell apart.

Then, a little bit later, mom walks into the computer room like she's gonna get on the computer and there's this really loud "pop" (Like a transformer blowing) and all the power went out. It was out for about ten minutes. And the internet never came back up last night.

So yeah, it was kinda a fine line between being highly amused and being freaked out. But it wsa interesting.

Now, I have to go rearrange my storage building so I can put the seats back in my van. And my brother's girlfriend's little sister (who is six months pregnant) decided two weeks ago that she and her baby's daddy were getting married today. So I've gotta go to the wedding, which is the most thrown-together, redneck affair ever, which is worse than a planned redneck wedding. And I'm wearing a dress, which very rarely happens. Maybe I'll get pictures. And it's Jo's little boy's birthday so I've gotta go over there afterwards. Blah. I wanted to play on the computer today. Guess not.

Love and hugs to everyone; hope you're having a great weekend!!

*smooches*

Hi Tabby! Hope to talk to you later!

*hugs tight*

*smooches*

Hey, sweets! I'm hoping to steal some time online once I get home. Keep your fingers crossed for me...

[acostilow.livejournal.com]

*crosses fingers*

Try to have a nice time. Steal me some food. :D

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

what would you like?

white cake and peanuts and mints from the wedding (there was yucky wedding punch that was made with sparkling white grape juice instead of ginger ale; I accidently dumped the bowl over)

or chocolate cake, fudgesicles, and cheetos from the bday party

Or hamburgers and hotdogs fresh off the grill? And green beans w/ ranch dressing? b/c that's what I had for dinner.

[acostilow.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

*big eyes*

I want it all......

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I'll gladly share -- I seem to wear my weight in all the wrong places, so I really don't need all that food...

[bouncy.livejournal.com]

That is very creepy. O_o *hides*

... I wore a dress out on Friday night for the first time in years. Feels really weird. :)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

yes, I was muchly freaked out

Just the idea of wearing a dress feels weird to me. I'm always in jeans. Always. I can't tell you the last time I wore anything but.

I have two dresses to decide between now, but one's shorter than the other so I don't think I'm wearing that one.

[bouncy.livejournal.com]

I wear mainly jeans as well, or at least pants. I stopped wearing dresses and shirts a few years back because I got a scar on my knee and was very self concious. Now I mainly don't wear shirts/dresses because I don't like to.

The dress I wore was split length dress. One side longer than the other.

Wear stockings.... Unless its too hot. O_O The longer one might be better though. Moreso if you are used to wearing dresses. Makes you feel less exposed.

[bouncy.livejournal.com]

er.. I realize there are a few errors. Ops?

skirts*

NOT used to wearing sdresses..*

Its after 1am... i blame that. lol.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

lol -- i actually knew what you meant, so it's all cool.

I don't wear stockings b/c they're too constricting. I don't wear shorts or anything usually b/c it means blinding people with my too-white legs, plus I have to shave. *G*

[bouncy.livejournal.com]

Fake tan? My mum has that done. :)

Ohhh! Lol. I spent ages and ages shaving my legs. I hate doing it. :( Lazy.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

lol -- when I lived w/ Melanie, we had a tanning bed in the basement. It was really relaxing; i miss it. But I don't tan. I burn (haha, look at the pics in my next post) and then I go white again.

I hate shaving my legs too.

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Well...at least you got all the bad stuff out of teh way and now it can just be good luck all day...right?

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

we shall hope so *G*

except, y'know, maybe not b/c mom's computer hates me!!!

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a busy day today. Yesterday was just... creepy. All that at once!

Felicitations to the happy couple!
:)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

yeah, but not fun busy. *pouts* I'd rather be lazy & hang around here.

The happy couple is deluded, I think. And they're getting married at the pond at the nursing home, so they're not completely sane either...

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, I often think that people are deluded when they first get married, but it's no use telling them that. They won't listen. Er, what made them choose a pond at a nursing home? Just 'cause it was available?

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

i really don't see the point in getting married right now. but that's me.

They got married at the nursing home b/c each of them have a grandmother that lives there, so this way both grandmas got to come to the wedding. It was actually kinda nice though.

*hugs* Have a good weekend! I'm off to the Rascal Flatts concert tonight.

Take a picture in your pretty dress!! :)

love ya hun!

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

have fun at the concert! Did take a pic, this is one of the few dresses I own. *g*

love ya too, sweetie!

[wearethestars.livejournal.com]

What kind of research is that?

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

haha, you know what kind of research you do. although, you actually did the research for my SPN fic, so I can't say anything I guess. But it wasn't as fun as the research you were doing a few weekends back.

[wearethestars.livejournal.com]

*cough*
It is research. It IS!!!

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying it's not research! I'm just pointing out that the research I was doing is a bit different... *g*

[rowanmikaio.livejournal.com]

hey, at least you got TWO weeks of warning for the wedding.

I had 8 days for my sister's wedding...

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

it's crazy! or maybe it's just me b/c I've never been affected by the "let's get married and live happily ever after" disease so I just don't get it.

[pixie-squeaks.livejournal.com]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE iced tea!!!!!!!!

I drink a gallon a week by myself!

*is thirsty*

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

tea = iced and very sweet. hot tea = hot tea. unsweet tea = someone not from the South. *g*

I love tea. actually, I need to go make yet another pitcher...
