A few things from the weekend:

1. HDHusband made a great dinner on Saturday night. Scallops with a mango salsa. Really good!

2. We have playdoh for HDToddler to play with. Instead of asking us to make the usual "ball" or "snake", he's now asking for such things as: "sharks", "Dora and Boots", and my particular favorite, "castle". Always good to aim high, I guess.

3. Fyrchk sent me this link right here reporting that someone else had fallen off a cruise ship. More importantly, another person falling over on the cruise line we were on together back in May. I realize it's common sense not to stand on the balcony railing. It's not like we hit a big 'ocean bump' and you just fell over. That dying thing takes some effort. I'm all about going to the Bahamas again, but I'm going to vote for going to a resort the next time.

4. HDH and I watched a neat movie over the weekend - "Things You Can Tell By Just Looking At Her". If you're into those sorts of movies, you'll like this one.

5. I'm pissed off at the 'service industry'. Am very tired of waiting around for dry wall contractors to call, come by, and send bids. So far, we've been promised bids by last Thursday and Friday. It's Monday now. I'm sure there are SOME PEOPLE out there who want work, right? Geez. And, I'm sick of all things related to the television. If I hear "hi-def", "receiver", "satellite dish", "Direct TV", or "not working" again, I will scream things like, "Hi-def receiver broken in back yard with satellite firmly planted up Direct TV's butt and apparently THIS is why it's NOT working". So there.

6. I'm also putting together the "Holiday Party That Cannot Be Called a Holiday Party" for my husband's office. We volunteered to host it at our house this December. You'd think that shit wouldn't be hard to do, you know? Pick out some food. Arrange a time. Boom, you're done. Instead, we have all these ridiculous rules to follow. One being, we aren't allowed to refer to it as a "party", and certainly not a "Christmas or Holiday party". So, we have to 'refer' to it as a "team building meeting". Jesus Christ. Like a bunch of surgeons and medical professionals need a "team building meeting".

7. I had a dream last night that was SO VERY real. I had to wake up and remind myself that it was in fact a dream. Everything was to the letter real in my dream, and when I woke up, I couldn't associate what was or wasn't the dream or reality. I hate those dreams. Messes me up for a while after, and then I have to have 'deep thoughts' about why I had that dream anyway.

8. I have no idea what stinks in my fridge. I just cleaned it out three days ago, but every time I open it up it's like a stink bomb went off by my nose.

9. I'm pissed at my in-law's. They were supposed to come this last weekend, but bailed the night before and cancelled their flight. My mother-in-law has these 'spells' (translation: I'm out of percocet and I'm a hypochondriac). Apparently, she had 'something wrong' and thought she'd be contagious for my son. Fine. Whatever. Then, that same night, they are over at my sister-in-law's watching their daughter. Say what??? So, you are 'so sick' you don't want to get my kid sick in Colorado, so you cancel your flight - but then you can watch her kid and get her sick? Ugh.

10. That's all! It's certainly a Monday. I'm going to have some more coffee and make more phone calls that won't be returned, turn up my music really loud and give the world a middle finger today. Grrrr.
