always been crazy

I almost got into a fight at Christmas dinner b/c Jo is a bitch and decided she wanted to talk shit about Tinsley. And yeah, Jo is pretty much my sister, but Tinsley is Tinsley and way more important to me. Drew is sick and just broke up with his longtime girlfriend (who came by the house all sad and stuff b/c she has no family to spend Christmas day with), Bree had pink eye, and then there was the whole issue of Holden leaving in the morning. He had made up a song about him and his daddy taking a road trip and kept singing it, and kept asking why me and Pam and Shannon were crying, and finally started avoiding the kitchen because each time he'd come through one of us would scoop him up and hug him. :(

But now, I'm kicked back in my new, fuzzy pjs, eating a plate of leftovers and watching Mama Mia with Harley, so I'd say that's a win. ( Here's a couple more drabbles: )

JERICHO! OMG! ( cut for spoilers ) Only two episodes left, omg, and I'm so excited! My Tuesday night class is supposed to last until 10, but the instructor said we'd probably be out around 9, so Yay for that.

Class went okay. Last night I had my med term class, which was really boring btwn the first-night kinda stuff and the fact we spent over an hour going over prefixes & suffixes and stuff that I already knew and the instructor talked to us all like we were four. And we had to repeat after her. And even after she said class participation was 10% of our final grade, only like three of us were participating. Then today, two of the girls from that class were complaining about how mean the instructor was and how hard they think the class is gonna be. *rolls eyes* They were also complaining b/c apparently they thought learning medical coding was going to be easy and apparently it's not. Big shock, huh? My class tonight, we were told we have a paper to write that's like 20% of our grade and it's gotta be 3-4 pages long. Including a title page and a reference page. In 14 point font. Should I be worried that's too easy?

As I txtd some of you this morning, when I was whining last week about being stuck at home, yall should've reminded me how much I hate my fucking job, omg. Today went okay; I'm not allowed to lift/carry more than 30 pounds and apparently Jon and Audelio were both told they had to watch me b/c they wouldn't let me pick up anything. Including the nice little two pound salt cellars. I'm gonna get spoiled. But I was missed. And we got caught up today.

Yall know that one of my concerns with school is not being able to spend enough time with my kids, right? Well, I got a call from one of the rec coaches tonight & apparently they're splitting the teams up this year by age instead of grade, which means Ronnie's in coach's pitch baseball and Davey's still in t-ball. Different teams. But they have practices and games the same nights! Which is gonna be a clusterfuck, omg. At least Sebastian (Ronnie's best friend) is on the same team, so hopefully I can work something out with his dad. And my brothers said they'd help out. But still. Difficulties!

Drabbles! First off, much love to ltlredhairdgirl, irisgirl12000, and anasuede for looking these over (among many other things -- my love for these girls knows no bounds). Now. I think most of these came from the other day when I was feeling shitty and asked in a txt message for prompt words. And they are mostly double drabbles or drabblets or ficlets or something.

I've been sick since Tuesday afternoon. It sucks.

The whole of the Roanoke Valley has been a sea of maroon and orange for the past several days, but tomorrow (Friday) has been delcared to be an "Orange and Maroon Effect" day to honor & show support for VT. I went out to get applesauce and milk this morning and had to go to three different stores in order to find Harley something Hokie-ish to wear. Don't ask me how she's my sister and somehow manages to not own anything Hokie. She's been wearing one of my VT hoodies all week. My boys have sweat suits, track suits, and tank tops/short sets that are official VT-gear, but no tshirts (go figure) so I was kinda hoping to find them one but no luck.

I am so out of the loop as far as what's going on in fandom and LJ, I don't think I'll ever get caught up. I know for a fact I'll never get caught up on replying to comments and reading my flist, so I don't even know that I'm gonna try.

I did watch Jericho and Jordan and LOST last night. I was too tired (and kinda still am) to write up an actual reaction, but I cried in Jericho and Jordan, and I only halfway watched LOST but I was very happy that it didn't happen.

And new SPN tonight!!! YAY!

I hope all yall are doing better than me. Happy Thursday!! (every Thursday now, I wanna declare "Happy Rex Manning Day" on my LJ, and I think it's all notthequiettype's fault...)

So. Jericho. Cut for spoilers, of course.

( i forgot the name of the episode )

Happy February 13th!! I'm totally cheating and making this the last valentine's post. If there is anyone that I missed writing a note to, I'm very sorry. But I love yall very much; my flist gives me a reason to smile everyday. Also, I need to say a special thank you to lilian_cho for tagging my entries and making my LJ a little less disorganized.

Today's song is my all time favorite love song. I swear, when I watch Pure Country (which is one of my favorite movies, go figure), I still tear up at the end when he sings this. So here ya go: Unconditional by George Strait

Today's drabblet is from Jericho. Which starts back tomorrow night with a recap episode, if you haven't been watching.( She didn't really have anything to be nervous about -- unless she counted walking down the aisle with Jake Green. )

Today's recipe is ( CAFE MOCHA TART )
