Morning!! It's a very nice sunny day here in my corner of the world... But the bugs are VERY friendly so I'm staying indoors as much as I can today...

Hubby has an appointment to get all four shocks replaced on the big car and the little guy is at school, so I'm going to take advantage of things and try to get a LITTLE work done on my stories while I have peace and quiet...

I will be around if anyone needs help or has any questions, I can work in both here and my word processor at the same time...

Feel better soon, WOE!!

That is AWESOME about Katie!! I am so happy for her, she's an amazing young lady!!

ASD kids CAN achieve, people who don't think they can are just plain wrong in my eyes.

Afternoon (just barely!)!

We just got back from town. The kids, especially Spirit, were getting antsy so we went into town for lunch and a few small things from Wal-Mart just to "settle" them. Moonie understands the need to cut back on trips because of gas prices but Spirit doesn't. Otherwise we would probably only run into town once a week if that.

YAY!! For Katie!

And I hear you, VE about the joys of word processing software. As many times as I've had to yank stuff out of the castle storyline and put new stuff in, I'd be dead by now if I had to do it on a typewriter!

NOW, off to get caught up!

It's hot and I need a swimming pool... one equipped with a studly lifeguard of the unmistakably male persuasion wearing a minimum of clothing and willing to keep an extremely close eye on me since I've never learned to swim.....

Today's entertainment:

Cats dive bombing people!!!

4-D... These cats are weird furballs, what can I say????

Has anyone seen a pair of lungs laying around?  I've coughed mine up somewhere & can't seem to find them anywhere.

Thank you VE & Pent for being happy for my Katie   Just found out the coat for Katie's Varsity letter will cost about $250. ugh!  Guess I'll be overtime hunting. LOL  Feel guilty for not going into work now but I would die if I had to be in there today with no lungs.. LOL 

So my brain chemistry is NOT normal in any way shape or form.  My metabolism is funky, and my body behaves in strange ways.

For instance, when it comes to alcohol, I'm a light weight.  1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, Floor, is a literal phrase for me.

But while I get very drunk VERY fast, I also sober up very, very fast.  As in one minute I'm drunk, and then BAM I'm sober.  I still feel the alcohol in my system, and wouldn't trust myself to drive, but my drunkenness is just GONE in an instant.

I do not drink very often.  Mostly because how I'm going to react at any given time to the alcohol is random.  You cannot predict it.  I might be a mean drunk one time, and laughing so hard I puke the next time.  And there's just no way to predict which will happen.  You'd think that if I drink when in a bad mood, that would be a guarantee of me being mean, but no.  Tonight, I was NOT in a good mood.  And I did a bit more Bacardi than I can strictly handle.

I was WASTED.

One of the side effects, however, of my drinking is that the brain filters that I am already mostly lacking are gone entirely.  When I'm sober, I can be very shocking, but I do hold back a LOT more than people realize.  Mostly, I hold back what I'm afraid will hurt people's feelings or will push people away from me.  Also, my deep and strong feelings for people are held back when sober.

But when drinking?  Yeah, watch out.  Because you WILL know EXACTLY how I feel about you.

BF, since moving in, has been sleeping on the couch.  And mostly, I understand why.  Neither of us are used to sleeping with someone else.  And I was mostly okay with him sleeping down there.  He'd come up, we'd have our fun, and he'd go crash back downstairs.  But this tiny part of me was bothered by it, apparently.  Bothered enough that while drunk, I told him that him not sleeping with me hurts my feelings, and that while I'm used to being hurt a whole lot, I kinda don't really like being hurt all the time.  And yes, those were pretty much my exact words.

Well, it must have got through to him, because he's made a promise that he's really going to try to start sleeping with me.  Yay!  LOL  Not tonight, mostly because I told him that tonight is NOT a good night to start sleeping in the same bed, and he pretty much agreed because he is not quite functional enough to make it up the stairs, and I'm still having the head swimminess from the alcohol.

But tomorrow?  I get to sleep in the same bed as my BF.  And I'm scared to freaking death.  What if I snore too much for him?  Not to mention it's hot as heck right now, and the bedroom is upstairs.  Yikes!

Morning!
It's a little better air quality wise this morning, still not good but better. We could have storms later which will clear the air out. I wouldn't mind the air clearing but I can do without the "storm" part! I'm probably going to stay in today as the air still is a little "thick."
Right now, tea and breakfast!

I have a few disappointed friends in Brazil right now... Apparently Stapp had to cancel that leg of his tour due to health issues. *SIGHS*

So apparently, all introductions involving me require a warning.

Hrm...

I should have one tattooed to the forehead, I'm that bad...

ETA: OOOOH, CSI repeat... NICKY FIX!!! 

Only when Nicky is on the screen...

OOH, Nicky...
