Sims Junkie

Sorry about the lack of interest I've had in posting. I'm so sick of the same stuff day after day after day . . . .

Just as I feared, I became totally addicted to "The Sims." I've been so caught up in my Sims' lives, that I've been neglecting my own. *Tsk, Tsk* I was a little disturbed yesterday by a page I found with ways to kill off your Sims. Some of the objects available for download for your game are a little bizarre, too. People scare me.

Marcus and I finally got to sleep in our bed last night after two nights on the sofa bed (nothing like sleeping with a metal bar in your back!). Our bed has these two purple foam pads in it that cover the water tubes. They soaked up the majority of the water. Imagine trying to dry a king-sized 5-inch sponge. It took three days of being outside for those to dry out. They can't be damp when they go in the bed or they will mildew. Yuck. But it's all back together now and I had such a nice sleep last night. The bed is calling me again, but I'm resisting the urge to nap. I've got so much stuff to do.

It was soooo freaking cold this morning. Of course, the idiot manager at work left the swamp cooler on all night. It was so cold that I couldn't hardly move. The weather person said it was a record-breaking 23 degrees this morning when I went to work. Brrrr.

Popped Bed Tubes Make Huge Mess

This is not going to be a good day. I woke up in a really great mood, for once. I had plans for getting some things under control today. I decided to start off by really cleaning my bedroom. While taking the sheets off to wash, I noticed that the mattress didn't look right. I took the cover off to discover that one of the water tubes popped and now I'm having to soak up all the water. What a mess! *sigh*

Dog Pet Peeves About Humans

From Rev:
DOG PET PEEVES ABOUT HUMANS
  1. When you push me away in the middle of a perfectly good leg-humping.
  2. Blaming your farts on me...not funny.
  3. Yelling at me for barking...I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG !!
  4. How you naively believe that the stupid cat isn't all over everything while you're gone. (Have you noticed that your toothbrush tastes a little like cat butt?)
  5. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly who's walk is this anyway?
  6. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose...stop it.
  7. Yelling at me for rubbing my butt on your carpet. Why'd you buy carpet?
  8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
  9. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth, you're just jealous.
  10. Dog sweaters. Have you noticed what my fur is for?
  11. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
  12. When you pick up the crap piles in the yard. Do you realize how far behind schedule that puts me?
  13. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip," then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back.
  14. The sleight of hand, fake -fetch -throw. You fooled a dog! What a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
  15. Invisible fences. Why do you insist on screwing with us? To my knowledge, dogdom hadn't yet solved the visible fence problem!!!

Kill Me Now

Sorry about the lack of posting lately. I'm still alive, barely. I've got the worst cough that I can't shake. I'm not getting enough sleep. I'm ready to kill everybody I work with since I have absolutely no patience when I'm sick and tired. I'm not sure when I'll be posting regularly again. I'm just not up to it right now. Send "get well" thoughts my way so it will be sooner than later.

Piss and Moan

I'm so exhausted and I don't know why. I ended up sleeping from 4 p.m. yesterday to 6:30 a.m. this morning. I was awake for about an hour from 9 - 10 p.m. Marcus made me some ramen to eat. I was dragging so bad at work I never thought I'd finish. As soon as I post, I'm going back to bed.

I hate the keyboard on this iMac. Now I remember why I bought Marcus the pro keyboard for his birthday the year he got this thing. Of course, my cordless Logitech keyboard won't work with it since iMacs only support USB keyboards. Damn.

My friend, Mike, gave me the Sims to play on this. I hope I don't get addicted. I've totally lost Marcus for awhile. He's so busy with his new G4 that I'm lucky if I can get a word in.

Well, there was one bit of good news at work today. The one asst. manager I totally can't stand got fired today. Yippee!

I have to get dough done at one of the stores BEFORE 6 a.m. (the ceiling tiles are being cleaned), so off to bed.
