HI EVERYONE. I'm sitting here on my couch, sweating my ass off because the noise from my air conditioner was giving me a headache so I turned it off, and have THINGS to say.

Things like ( Dear SYTYCD finale, )


I have tonight's PR on Tivo, but seriously, the summary alone made me make this face:

o.O


WEIRD, people. I have no idea.


Lastly, I'm trying to find a fic. I initially thought it was a J2 fic, but the more I think about it maybe it's Sam/Dean. And, uhm, one of them maybe has amnesia and thinks he's someone else? Maybe Sam? And Dean comes to visit him because he's staying at like, a church or something? And brings him books? Or something? Is this ringing a bell to anyone or have I just imagined it? eta - YAY!! you guys ROCK - thank you!!

(Ok, maybe that's not lastly. Maybe lastly is OH MY GOD, FANDOM, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING NOW??? Seriously, every time I come back online and try to "catch up" I feel like I'm DRUNK or something. WOW. It's actually kind of impressive!)


Anyway, I think that's it for now. Tomorrow I have to be at my job at 12:30 pm and won't get home until about 1:30-2am. MADE OF AWESOME. In conclusion, I leave you with this:


( ok! ok! I know I said NO babies in the post, but one little picture can't hurt, cant it??? )

HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD I AM POSTING A FIC.

*freaks out a little tiny bit*

Uhm, so HI. Yeah. J2, post Jared/Sandy breakup fic, which I'm sure has been done a thousand times since the actual breakup, but, uhm, here's one more, I guess!

Ok, seriously, I always think talking about 'muses' and 'voices' is slightly lame, and I never really credit anything I do to any kind of outer writing 'force' or anything, but I swear to god, after over a YEAR since writing something fictional, I was sitting in my car yesterday while my kid took a nap, and I swear to GOD, in my head I heard Jared's voice say the first line to this fic, RIGHT IN MY EAR.

It was weird. And bizarre. And, I dont know. I HAVE NO IDEA, OK?? BUT I SAT DOWN LAST NIGHT AND WROTE IT. And it probably sucks and it's probably schmoopy, but BABY STEPS, guys. Maybe I can get back into this "writing" thing yet.

HUGE thanks to annalazarus for the awesome beta. You're fabulous, darlin! Also, no porn in this one yet. BABY STEPS, right? Maybe someone will get laid in the next one.

WHEEE.

( all good things )

World, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I have still NOT SEEN THE LAST TWO EPISODES OF SPN. I just. I can't even.

But, ok. My problem is this. (Other than the fact that I'm apparently made of L-A-M-E.) My Tivo, as I mentioned one other time, decided not to tape the episode, uhm, three back, I think. Long Distance Call or Caller, whatever it's called. And because I'm L-A-M-E, I haven't like, gotten it or downloaded it or whatever. So until I know what happened in that one I've been not watching the last two and just, you know, IT IS THE MIDDLE OF JULY, HELLO. I kind of miss Sam and Dean and want to catch up.

So, uhm, anyway, can someone come in the comments and give me an awesome, really detailed recap of LDC so I can watch the friggin finale tonight or tomorrow? I'd look it up on TWOP or something but I'm afriad I'll want to poke someone'e eye out.

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. (Also, uhm, HI. HOW IS EVERYONE DOING. HOW IS LIFE ON THE INTERNET. I WOULDN'T KNOW. SIGH.)

♥

Oh my god, I totally fail at working and being a mommy and internetting all at once. SIGH. Anyway, HI EVERYONE. Uhm, here's an update of sorts.


( wow. this got long. )

Guys, apparently I shouldnt be allowed in ANY KIND OF KITCHEN AREA EVER, EVEN FOR WORK PURPOSES, because at work the other night I literally nearly sliced off the tops of two of my fingers cutting lemons. So I had to leave and stuff and go get STICHES and just, HI. THIS IS MY LIFE. Working until 2am four nights a week, taking care of a ten month old, and now doing it all ONE HANDED.

uhm, anyway, HELLO. NOT DEAD, REALLY, but, uhm, also, apparently my Tivo fucked up a few weeks back and only taped ONE MINUTE of Long Distance Call, so I'm now BEHIND and HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SPN FINALE and just, I dont even recognize myself anymore! But, uhm, if someone could maybe point me to a way to get Long Distance Call so I can catch up and then see the damn FINALE, that'd be AWESOME.

I just. I dont even KNOW anymore. How are YOU all doing???

Guys, I GOT THAT JOB I WANTED.

*dances around*

I was looking for a waitressing job and had been striking out at all the places I was looking at because no one was hiring. BUT THEN, I decided on a whim to go to this AWESOME, expensive-ish, trendy, you need to wait FOUR WEEKS for a reservation on the weekend, uhm, FONDUE restaurant that opened by me a few months ago, and they called me back THE VERY DAY I dropped off my resume, then hired me on the spot during the interview last Monday.

YAY.

The only bad thing is that training for it is like, crazycakes, with me at orientation and then training all last week, and all this coming week, before I have to take a TEST on Friday before being allowed to be on the schedule.

But! But then I'll be working by NEXT WEEKEND YAY, which is fun and awesome and gets me out of the HOUSE and puts MONIES in my pocket, and all around it's just a very good thing. Plus, in all my "spare time" I've been making a SHITLOAD of jewelry, and will be starting an etsy site SOON, and we're also doing a street fair at the end of May, and just, things are looking up! Plus, me getting out of the house and leaving the baby with the Mr. and my sister and mom, etc, is making me a LOT less crazy in the face, so everything is like - BETTER than good. BEYOND good.

\o/

The only *bad* thing is that for at least the next week or so I'm going to be even more mia than usual. Between training, starting work, and trying to get my jewelry stock up and online, then ready for the fair, I'm just very flaily. Add to that, you know, taking care of a nine month old, and you can see where all my "spare time" goes.

Basicaly, the only show I'm caught up on is SPN. I'm two weeks behind on Top Chef AND Rock of Love, about five weeks behind on OTH, and havent watched SV since like, September. I've been trying to keep up to date with newsleter stuff with Mari, and will be posting a BIGBANG YAY update this week, while also making plans for Wincon, but man, other than that life is crazy! But good!

Uhm, I think that's kind of it, man. It's SPRING, you know? Time for flip flops and cleaning house, and with that goes me trying to banish all the winter crazies away. I'll be around in email, and online on and off for the next week or so, so tag me if you need anything!

YAY STUFF!


In conclusion: ( ... )



♥

Apparently, a lot of my fannish names and such are STOLEN from other fangirls. WHOOPS.

But yes! Fun meme, because I don't feel like dragging out all my beading stuff tonight:

1. My username is _________ because _________:

estrella30. I picked the estrella part from a character in one of rhyo's fics that she was writing at the time I got my lj (when we were both still writing massively huge Stephanie Plum hetfics on Yahoo mailing lists, oh god) because she used to call me that and she was the person who actually gave me the code so I could get an lj. (HA HA, remember when you needed a CODE for lj??) I wanted just estrella but some jackass had it (probably still does) so I added the 30 which was my age at the time. (Oh god, I AM OLD.)

In other news, if I knew then that I'd be like, you know, MEETING PEOPLE from my lj, I might have picked something different. Maybe a little more normal. Though, seeing as how I got an lj to read and write Sentinel fic, I guess I'm just lucky my name isn't like, jimbabeforever, or something REALLY TRULY HORRIBLE.

Incidentally, the only person I know on lj that I've known longer than rhyo is tvm who I've known, uhm, god, for a VERY LONG TIME INDEED.

*hearts Ginger*


2. My name is _______ because _______.

Nancy! I was supposed to be Amy, but at the last minute my mom decided to name me after my grandmother, which I'm thrilled about ♥


3. My journal is titled _______ because _______.

"real men make out with each other."

BECAUSE THEY DO. But in addition to that, it's something, god, I hope I remember this right, it's a line from one of missbegonia's fics. I can't remember which one, but I could swear maybe it's Jared and Jensen talking about Tom Welling? And saying it about him? Or he's saying it about them? I can't remember exactly, but I remember reading it and falling in LOVE with that line and asking her if I could steal it. It's been my journal title ever since.


4. My friends page is called _______ because _______.

This one I LOVE. My friends page is called pretty girls punching clark's face because a LONG time ago brooklinegirl found a meme where you go to your interests on your userpage and you try and squish two of them together alphabetically to make funny phrases. Which is fun on it's own, right??

But then, slodwick posted a few of hers, one of which was the interest "pretty girls" and the one immediately following it was "punching clark's face" and oh, god, I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. I totally named my friends page that INSTANTLY and never changed it. Because, seriously, sometimes I really like to believe my friends list consists of a bunch of chicks beating the snot out of Clark Kent.

♥


5. My default userpic is:

THE ONE I AM POSTING WITH RIGHT NOW. JARED AND JENSEN MAKING KISSY SMOOCHY FACES. This is seriously my favorite picture of the J's EVER. I emailed it to keepaofthecheez as soon as it came out and had her make me this icon and I've never changed it out yet. THIS IS THE JARED AND JENSEN I LOVE, WORLD. RIGHT HERE. JUST LOOK AT THEM.

*explodey hearts*


My LJ name (you know how you can change that sort of sub-name thing?) is:

"at least I'm not into bandslash," because God help me, but I've still got SOME lines, ok???

*


YAY. In other news, I'm trying to convince myself not to order this shirt because really, NOT A NECCESSARY ITEM, but omg, I really kind of love it. Also, I have an interview on Monday afternoon for a job I REALLY REALLY WANT so, uhm, *crosses fingers.*

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I'm going to go read more schmoop.

PART I

Rain pounded against the roof and woke the young, attractive, AWESOME mother from her sleep. I can hear the baby fussing, she thought to herself, before rolling over and pretending to still be sleeping when her useless husband stirred.

"Are you going to go get her?" the young, awesome mother asked.

"msahkfdjsghfjhgdjfh," the idiot father replied, before rolling away and snoring so loud the blinds shook.

"Freaking idiot," the young, awesome mother muttered, before putting on her slippers and getting out of bed.


PART II

The young, AWESOME mother sat down on the couch with her ADORABLE baby, a bottle, and the remote. Let's put on Sportscenter and see who won the baseball games last night, the young, awesome mother thought to herself.

The baby thought: BOTTLE. WHERE IS MY BOTTLE.

Hmm, that's strange. The tv doesn't seem to be working, the young, awesome mother pondered. The screen is all grey and the channels aren't loading and OMG WHERE IS THE TIVO AND--

The baby flailed. BOTTLE OMG BOTTLE MOMMY WHERE IS IT I WANT MY BOTTLE.

The young, awesome mother gave the baby her bottle and proceeded to yell for her useless, still sleeping, lazyass husband to get UP AND FIX THE GODDAMN TV OMG.


PART III

The young, awesome mother explained the terrifying screen of NO TV OMG to her useless husband, while he poked around the remote and tried to reset the satellite.

"This is not Little House on the fucking Prairie," she proclaimed. "If I have to entertain an eight month old by myself, on a rainy day, without the Backyardigans to help me, THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM." What she was really thinking was "Oh god, if I have to go online and ask the internets how I get the last five episodes of One Tree Hill, Rock of Love and Gene Simmons FAMILY JEWELS downloaded, I will DIE OF SHAME."

The useless husband fixed the TV.

The baby finished her bottle.

Rock of Love is saved, and tragedy is averted.

The young, awesome mother put on a Backyardigans episode, stuck her baby in the excersaucer, and went and got more coffee.

THE END.

HI EVERYONE. Man oh man, I totally FAIL at internetting these days, right? YIKES.

Uhm, anyway, for reasons that can't actually be explained at this juncture, I actually have the rest of the night FREE. To MYSELF, even, and want to read a long, REALLY SCHMOOPY J2 fic. I haven't read anything in about a hundred years, so if someone could please rec me and link me to something long and lovey dovey and schmoopy and porny and kissy and AWESOME about Jared and Jensen, that'd be FAB.

Also, I got emails from my last cryptic post about mini-doll clothes making and I'll be emailing you guys back soon - promise! But for now, I want SCHMOOP and I want it NOW.

*beams*

Uhm, please!

This is a very HYPOTHETICAL TYPE QUESTION, but is there anyone out there who can sew like, little tiny clothes. Like doll clothes only smaller. Like the size of Barbie doll clothes, even. Anyone?

If you can, PLEASE email me at tress30 @ gmail . com (no spaces) because I might want to like, commission you to make some stuff for me. I'll explain it all in the email, but again, if you're a good, fast, sewer (and what I'm looking for won't have to be perfect clothes, they'll basically have to be tiny and functional and that's it) please email me whenever you can.

*

Uhm, HI WORLD. I haven't been online since Wednesday. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Is there any new TV news? Anything fun going on? Have Jared and Jensen finally run off and eloped or anything? PLEASE FILL ME IN.

Q: What's got two thumbs and a reservation for this years Wincon?

A: THIS CHICK.


People, it's CON TIME. In like, October, but whatever! It's coming SOON! And I'm going to be AWAY. For the WEEKEND. Without my husband AND my child. In a room ALL TO MYSELF with a HUGEASS BED and BOOZE and SPN and FANGIRLS and DRINKING and hi, hello, DID I MENTION THE BOOZE?? BECAUSE I WILL BE HAVING A LOT OF IT.

Uhm. I might be getting a little excited already, ok?


SO. WHO ELSE IS PLANNING ON GOING? HMM???

I have spent very many moments of my life, thinking that Ryan Reynolds and Dane Cook are the same person.

IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I was flipping channels last night and came across a movie with BOTH of them in it at once.

o.O


(this post brought to you by lack of sleep! and also, ryan reynolds and dane cook BEING THE SAME PERSON OMG.)

ACK.

Guys, I'm not dead, I swear it, but we've had a VERY BAD WEEK in this house, starting with the time change which has caused my little darling to be up until nearly 8:30 every night which is LATE for her, and then sleeping until about 7:30 every morning - which you would think would be good! - but after nearly eight months of starting my day between 6:30 and 7, that extra hour fucks me ALL up and I've beeen just crabby and rushed and OFF for like, an entire week now.

Add to that the fact that I can't seem to find a job, which is AWESOME, along with the four - count 'em - FOUR top teeth Ava is cutting ALL AT ONCE OMG WHY WOULD YOU GET TWO TEETH AT FOUR MONTHS OLD AND THEN NONE UNTIL YOU GET FOUR AT ONE TIME FOUR MONTHS LATER ARGH, and, well, needless to say I haven't been online much! HA HA HA.

*koff*

ANYWAY. This is just me saying that no, I'm not dead yet, and to please send booze. LOTS OF IT.

I'll be back soon.

I have thoughts on the PR finale:

( here! )


And now, time to set the Tivo for Top Chef! And also probably that horrible dance show with the chick from Saved by the Bell. YAY.


Uhm, I'm also watching American Idol, but I dont really remember any of their names yet so I'll spare you all talk about that. FOR NOW. Though, I have to be honest, I like that David Hernandez dude a lot more now that I know he was a gay male stripper, or whatever. Also, Jason Castro is cute, the Australian dude is hot, I liked David Cook so much this week I finally remembered his name, and the guy that looks like he could be in Fall Out Boy WEIRDS ME OUT. I'm sorry, he just - WHY IS HE PRETTIER THAN ALL THE GIRLS? I don't get it.

Also, I think ALL the girls are boring. I kind of like Brooke White, but that's really it. They're tiring.

*koff*

*

Anyway, the point of this post is that I WANT TO RANT. I'm stealing this from annella and will be back later with rants if anyone wants, so come on! Gimme stuff to shout about in CAPSLOCK.


1. Comment with any subject that you would like me to rant on, with possible swearing involved. Any subject - I don't even have to agree with it.

2. Watch my journal for your rant.

3. Post this in your own journal, so that you may rant for others. The end.


COME ON, GUYS. You KNOW you want to see me rant about like, bandom and SGA and people who STOP DEAD IN FRONT OF ME IN THE FOOD STORE WITH THEIR SHOPPING CART AND BLOCK THE AISLE JESUS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET OUT OF MY FREAKING WAY UGH.

ahem.

eta - DONT MAKE ME RANT ABOUT THINGS I LOVE, like Jensen's ass or something, because that's just MEAN. (I mean, unless you want me to rant about how AWESOME his ass is, because THAT, I can do.)

Man, I honestly can't think of anything I'd like to participate in LESS than a brutal honestly meme.

I just. Having no TV except for SGA to watch on repeat for the rest of my life? Being forced to have lunch with Don McKellar? Nothing but Celine Dion songs on my radio until the day I die? I have no IDEA what would be worse, because that meme is kind of up there on the list.

(Though if I did it it might be kind of funny, all filled with things like: OMG, MORE PICTURES OF YOUR KID, NAN?? REALLY? or, HEY, DIDNT YOU USED TO WRITE PORN ABOUT TWO GUYS FROM TEXAS OR SOMETHING? or maybe, I'M GLAD YOU'RE GONE YOUR PORN SUCKED ANYWAY AND I HATE YOUR STUPID CAPSLOCK AND EXCLAMATION POINTS, circa the hate meme of whatever, 2005 or whenever it was.)

But, you know, for those of you having fun...I don't know, getting your tits whipped in public or whatever, have fun! Enjoy yourself! Good times all around!

In other news...there is no other news, people. I've been at a wake for like, the past hundred years, it feels like, and finally have a night free and should be writing or making jewelry or something even remotely productive, but instead I'm sitting here trying to WILL TIME TO MOVE FASTER until it's the PR finale at 10.

So, you know, come talk to me! I have new kid pictures, even!


( she's so big now! )



ok! come talk to me for...the next thirty four minutes!

YAY SEASON FOUR WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Also, YAY MORE SV!! And YAY more OTH!!

Also, if someone could make me PLEASE stop reading EVERY SINGLE FREAKING SPN spoiler I come across, that'd be AWESOME, thanks.

*smacks self on the head*

uhm. ok. Going again, but I'll be back after tomorrow, I think, and then will *hopefully* have my abouttwoboys fic posted sometime this weekend. YAY!

Just a quick note, I probably won't be around much until the end of the week, if at all this week. A friend of ours passed away early Friday morning, so we've kind of been moping since then and then today and tomorrow is the wake, Tuesday is the funeral, etc, and I'm just kind of bleh and not online much. (Tracey, if you see this I'm still good for you guys on Friday; I'll be around pretty much after Tuesday night but if you try and get me before then I might not see it.)

Anyway, I'll be back guys. Be good to each other. *hugs*

This is such a stupid STUPID thing to be this mushy about, but guys, I just had to take apart a baby thing of Ava's because she's too big for it for the very first time, and I'm all WAAAAAAAAAAAAH about it. I mean, I always get kind of sad when she gets too big for some of her clothes because it makes me realize how big she's getting, but usually the weather is changing anyway so I can chalk the clothes thing up to that.

But this is her BOUNCY SEAT, man. Her vibrating Rainforest bouncy seat that she used to love and fall asleep in and hang out in all the time, and she just - we never ever use it and she's sitting up so well on her own that whenever we try and put her in it she just wont lie down and relax; she spends the entire time pushed up on her elbows trying to climb out of it. (Which is sort of HILARIOUS to watch, to be honest, but I digress.) And if we had like, a lot more room I'd just leave it out anyway, but we don't and it's kind of just taking up space so, SIGH. Away it goes.

And man, I know I complain a lot, but I feel like I was just pregnant, you know? And now my BABY is too BIG for one of her main THINGS and just. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, world. Not on.

I have a request - no, actually, a desperate NEED - after watching last nights SPN. Like, seriously, I dont think I can SURVIVE if I can't somehow get this.

I need someone to ( spoilers for Jus In Bello )


*koff*

Whatever, man. I am EASILY PLEASED.

*spins and twirls*

omg, you guys. I keep thinking "oh, this is just so temporary, me being offline ALL THE DAMN TIME! Once Ava gets bigger I'll be around MUCH more!" And then she gets bigger and bigger and, uhm, I'm around even LESS. sigh.

But yes! First, thank you all for the wonderful things sent to me in Madelyn's Valentines Day game! *hugs* And thank you again, Mads, for running the whole shebang ♥

Second, so I live in a house with my child, my husband, and now my sister. Which is fine and dandy. HOWEVER, neither of them realize the IMPORTANCE of my open intgernet tabs, and I get to hear - no less than once a day! - "Uh, whoops. I think I closed Nan's tabs again or something." >.< So then I stomp and pout and curse and kind of NEVER get to catch up reading or commenting or anything. MY LIFE IS VERY HARD, YO.

Also, so I was online Thursday morning, and then didnt get to check the computer again until like, Sunday, I think, and when I DID I was all o.O over the SPN talk because, well, ( spoilers for Mystery Spot )

Also, in slightly fannish news, can I even EXPLAIN how pissed I am about Project Runway spoilers? Seriously, y'all, I KNOW Fashion Week was a few weeks ago, and I *knew* pictures and stuff would pop up online, which I was fully prepared to deal with. HOWEVER, getting smacked in the face with a full two page spread complete with PICTURES in my local freaking Sunday newspaper the weekend after Fashion Week was, well, REALLY FREAKING ANNOYING to say the least. grrr.

Uhm, ok! Anyway, thank you again for all the V-Day wishes, guys. And I'm trying to be around more, I swear. Tonight we're going to see the Foo Fighters so I'll be around tomorrow, most likely hungover and crabby. YAY!

YAY!! Happy Hearts Day everyone!

*kisses fandom*

♥

I LOVE MY SHOW SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF SEX WITH IT. THE END.


*twirls*


( some spoilers and two questions from last nights SPN 3x10 )



uhm, also, I have VERY MANY Smallville and One Tree Hill episodes to catch up on. I will try and get to that this weekend.

in conclusion: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Hey all! Just a quick heads up that spn_live - which had been acting wonky the past few episodes - is up and fixed and running right in time for the new episode TONIGHT \o/

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

So head on down at 9pm est to chat and squee with your fellow fangirl and boy!

/public service announcement *g*

Is it just ME, or does anyone else think that those "I'm not gonna put you in my five, dude" Charles Barkley/Dwayne Wade commercials are the slashiest thing EVER. Seriously, y'all. Every time I see one I'm kind of like this:

o.O

No? Just me? Allllllllllllllllrighty, then.

Anyway, Congrats to all the Giants fans out there! Even being from NY I'm not particularly a fan of either of the NY football teams, but I'm even more of an anti-Pats fan (uh, sorry to all the Pats fans who I LOVE on my flist! It's not you, it's them!) and really, watching from a football game perspective, that was a HELL of a game. That play in the end of the fourth quarter when they were trying to sack Eli and they were yanking at his shirt and he somehow managed to pull out of it, make a pass, and have Tyree catch the ball ON HIS HELMET was possibly the most amazing thing I've seen in a game in a very long time.

(Also, and this is me being very basic and simple, but I've said all season re: the Pats being undefeated: "WHY is no team making their game play sound like this - Hey, you. Your job? Is to KILL TOM BRADY. - Because in a really very basic way, THAT was what needed to happen. And then here comes the Giants defense last night and it was really just amazingly played, imo.)

So, yes - congrats Giants fans!!

Today I'm going to take pictures of all the jewelry I've made and post them. And then I'm going to go food shopping. Also, I want to play in the feedbackmeme which looks like FUN, but I promised myself that I wouldn't put my own name in there until I got a chance to leave some nice fb for other people on there because then I feel greedy. So if I get to that I will let you know!

HI WORLD. IT'S MONDAY. COME TELL ME SLASHY THINGS ABOUT BASKETBALL PLAYERS.

*koff*

Ava pictures! Because my husband and I are BAD PEOPLE!


( Ava + keg cup = HILARITY )


Uhm, yeah. Anyway! That's what I've done so far today. How 'bout you guys!

Happy Thing #1 - IT IS SUPERNATURAL THURSDAY! FINALLY! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!

*throws confetti*

Happy Thing #2 - I have sadly missed these birthdays this week, but I hope my darling Signe and Mona both had GLORIOUS days for themselves. The world knoweth no more awesome women than you two. ♥

Happy Thing #3 - svmadelyn is running the VALENTINES DAY GAME AGAIN!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! Seriously, of all the awesome things Mads does - of which there are MANY - this is by FAR one of the awesomest. Full info on her post HERE, but basically, you email Mads a list of 14 people on lj that you want to give anonymous LURVE to, and on the 14th, she posts the messages and we all get to BASK in the love!

Make sure to read the post and get the info down, and then email her no later than 2/12 (but I'm sure she'd appreciate it if you got it to her asap so she's not going through a BAZILLION emails on the 12th alone *g*) and you're done! Then watch all the people you loved on feel awesome and SPESHUL on Valentimes Day!


♥ ♥ ♥


uhm, in other news, we're all still sick here. And every time Ava rolls over while she's sleeping, she coughs so much she wakes herself up until she cries, which is AWESOME and FUN and has had me LITERALLY starting my day at 5AM for the past two days.

But, you know, LA LA LA DID I MENTION THAT IT'S SUPERNATURAL THURSDAY???

gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A few weeks ago, my sister moved into one of our spare bedrooms to stay with us for a while. When she moved in she brought with her: eighteen bags of shoes, six open containers of parmesean cheese, and the flu.

Which she then gave to Rob. Which HE then gave to Ava and I. AT THE SAME TIME. Which is SO awesome, because now while she's coughing and sneezing and hacking and crabby and not sleeping, I'm ALSO coughing and sneezing and hacking and crabby and not sleeping. Which makes taking care of a sick infant SO MUCH FUN OMG.

(Ava's sickness wins, though, because she also has an eye infection. Which I spend ALL DAY trying to keep her from sticking her FINGER in. God, my life is glamorous.)


In other news, I've done nothing but make jewelry for the past two weeks. For a chick with no job and who doesn't go out, I have some AWESOME jewelry. I'll take pictures soon to show you all.

(Also, if someone could make me stop ordering BEADS anytime soon that'd be AWESOME, thanks.)


Anyway! That's where I've been and where I'll be for the next few days at least. I have to go pull my sick kids fingers out of her nose and mouth and eyes now. SIGH.

Is it Thursday yet? *whimpers*

(pee ess - Ginger and Tracey I owe you both MASSIVE emails which I will send SOON.

PLEASE DONT HATE ME.)

For those of you who might have been concerned that I was like, currently pinned to the ceiling of Ava's nursery, FEAR NOT! While my night wasn't all that restful (due to a stinky cold of my own), it at least didn't result in BURNING TO MY UNTIMELY DEMISE AT THE HANDS OF A YELLOW EYED DEMON. So...I guess I can call that a win, right?

Though, it's totally funny. Because Ava is chubby, right? Like really chubby. Lets put it this way: her nickname around the house is Meatball. Uhm, ANYWAY! So she's rolled over from her back to her stomach before, but not a lot and never while sleeping by herself. She mostly does it when we're around and then she kind of flaps around on her belly and whimpers until someone comes and picks her up.

ANYWAY, so this morning I wake up, and I can hear her stirring in the crib, and think, YAY NOT DEAD. But then I stop and wonder: did the YED come while I was sleeping and just make her EVIL or something? You know, totally unbeknownst to me?

So, whatever, she starts making this weird little whimpering, crying, whining sound that I hear over the monitor. And it's totally different from her regular crying sounds, or her waking up sounds, etc. So I get up and go to check on her, and she's like, WIGGING OUT, flailing around on her round little belly, because she rolled over while she was sleeping, but now the room is dark and she OMG CANNOT GET BACK OVER MOMMY PLEASE COME HELP ME.

But - god forgive me - it was SO FUNNY LOOKING that I maybe couldn't pick her up for a minute or two. And I'm *laughing*, right? But apparently at 6am laughing sounds like CRYING to R who goes LEAPING from bed and RUNS into her room to see what's wrong to find me, well, laughing at my round little baby flapping around in her crib in the dark.

SUCH AN AWESOME MOM, Y'ALL.


Uhm, in other news, today is Dean Winchesters birthday! YAY DEAN! I would like to have lots of sex with you!

*beams*


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I want pie.

Guys, I'm like, obsessed with making jewelry. Which is kind of bad in that a) you know, TEENY TINY THINGS MY CHILD CAN CHOKE ON and b) no real money to go and purchase a lot of fun jewelry making stuff, but, ack, I have just enough to really have FUN with it and was smart enough to ask for gift cards to craft stores for Christmas, and what that can't bring me, I figure Ebay can.

But yes! Earrings and bracelets and necklaces oh my! I honestly don't think I'll ever have enough time, energy, or money to actually do enough of it to sell it or anything, but I figure, if I can get decent enough that I can make stuff to give as gifts when I need, and make stuff for myself rather than buying all the time, that right there will be enough for me.

(Plus, honestly, the other thing I was thinking about doing was getting stuff to make MACARONI STATUES of Dean and Sam and Jared and Jensen to bring to Wincon - complete with clothing! - but sadly I can't find any websites that sell like, Ken doll sized leather jackets and hoodies and hideous pink button down shirts in bulk. So. Ixnay on the Acaronimay Statuesay.

SIGH.)

(Unless, of course, someone knows how I would maybe get tiny guy doll clothing in bulk or something, in which case, MACARONI JENSEN IS A GO \o/

*koff*)

So, yes. There is jewelry making which has been going on. Also, there was a fangirl night! Where I traveled with the lovely sinoftheday and got to see fabulous people like scrunchy and slodwick and meet the AWESOME amberlynne and hang out with a ton of my favoritest fangirls ever. And I had a great time and drank a lot of beer and talked about gay incest and how hotass Jensen Ackles is and debated the merits of Coach Taylor's hair emoting over John Sheppard's with musesfool and it was all around just a GLORIOUS evening. And I made the early train home and got to sleep at a decent hour and no one even drooled on my shoulder! Huzzah!

(Wow. I'm watching a Seinfeld rerun right now and JEREMY PIVEN is on it. HUH.)

I, uhm, really have nothing else remotely exciting going on in my life. Weird! I also have no new Ava pictures, because I am a BAD MOMMY and haven't taken any good ones since like, Christmas. Never fear, though, she's still ridiculously cute.

And SPEAKING of Ava, Supernatural people especially, think good thoughts for me tonight, ok? Because today is Ava's SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY and man, I don't really feel like waking up pinned to the ceiling later on, ok? So, you know, FINGERS CROSSED.
