Nothing seems to be going right today...

I had troubles with my editing project today, so I ended up taking it home with me.

I meant to take the laptop to school today, but I left it at home at the last second. Turned out that I really did need it today. Now I have to go in and finish my project early in the morning. Grrrr!

Nothing has come out of my mouth, or thru the keyboard, that makes any sense to anyone but me.

I need to eat something, and Chinese sounds like just the ticket. But the place that delievers in my neighborhood has a $12 minimum, and I just don't feel like ordering that much just to get delivery. There is a place on Midwest Blvd. that I might check out. I saw it when I was at IHOP recently (the day of the hornet in my car episode).

Why do I feel so... weird?



That's all from where I sit.

Back to the essay that is kicking my butt...

Second draft is due Wednesday. Oh. Joy.

I did find out today that I have an A in the class so far. Go me!!! Woot! LOL

US History-- we had a test. I think I missed two questions. Just drew a blank on a couple of names. I hate when I do that. I'll find out how I did on Wednesday.

My editing project is DONE! Yay! Not due til Wednesday. So I am ahead of the game.

The enchiladas I made Saturday were good. I still have some, because there is no way I can eat 13 of them in one day. Some are in the fridge, and a couple of servings are in the freezer.

I might make chili later in the week.

Yes, cowboy, I can cook. You oughta come and check out Chez Stef sometime.

Check out the food, not the chef... unless you want to check out the chef, of course!

It's March already?!

Yep...

My rent and electric got paid today, I'm going grocery shopping later, and I have an essay to write for Monday.

Other than that, there's really nothing going on in my life that anyone would be interested in. The car is behaving herself, I have money saved, and I bought a baking pan last night, so sometime over the weekend, I think I'll make enchiladas.

I know, I know... not exactly mind gripping stuff here.

Ask me at the end of the month, and I'll have a different story. There are three birthdays jammed up there that I'll have to get prezzies for.

Oh, and that one that's in about a week and a half... I don't know if that person even wants to remember they have a birthday, though, much less presents.

I think birthdays are a big deal, I don't care how old you're going to be.



so, you up for 50 swats there, cowboy? i'll be gentle... i promise

What part of "Don't call me in the middle of the night" didn't he understand?

If you had spoken to me around midnight, I wouldn't have been in such a great mood. For once, I fell right asleep after I went to bed.

Then Saon ruined it all.

Shortly before midnight, the phone rings. Thinking it might be family, I got out of bed and went into the living room to get the phone.

When I saw the number on caller ID, I didn't even bother to answer.

I told him the last time I spoke with him that because of my school schedule, I won't be taking calls at all hours of the day and night. I know that he's driving the cab now and all hours of the day and night are his working hours, but I need to get a lot of rest if I'm going to have a fighting chance of doing well in my classes.

He didn't leave a message either. So, if he's pissed that I didn't answer, too f'n bad.

Now, I'm all dragged out, everything hurts (or it seems like it does), and all I want to do when I get home is take a nap.

Unless someone happens to drop by... then I'll take a nap.

We finally did my birthday dinner on Saturday. I wanted to go to the Texas Roadhouse, but when we got there, there had been a fire in the restaurant, and they were closed for a while so they could clean up.

When asked my second choice, I just said Outback, for lack of anywhere else to go. And, off we went.

And it was very nice. Amalia gave me a bracelet she made with my name on it. Mom gave me money, and Daniel gave me a gift card from WalMart. Jeff had already bought me a TV. Tori and Dean were going to get me something else for the house. Probably a coffeemaker.

I could use a couch and a real bed, though. Even more than a coffeemaker.
===

I might be able to actually pay for my books and tuition soon. I finally got a copy of my 2005 return in the mail on Saturday, and I hotfooted it over to the Financial Aid office at school this morning. I should know something within two weeks.

Hell, I've waited all this time, two more weeks won't kill me.


Talk soon?

"Mom, we're going to Olive Garden..."

So said my eldest son when he magically appeared on my doorstep last night.

It's where Daniel wanted to go for his birthday dinner. So what else is new.

Thing is, Daniel's birthday was two weeks ago! With all the hustle and bustle leading up to Christmas, there just wasn't time to squeeze in another trip to Olive Garden.

Marc wanted his birthday dinner there, too, and we did go... just not on his birthday (Dec 5).

We got to Olive Garden and everyone else was still waiting to be seated. Mom didn't go because she wasn't feeling well, and Dean ended up taking Joey over to Mom's because he was pitching a fit.

All in all it was a nice dinner. Since my birthday is next, Tori asked me not to choose Olive Garden.

No problem. I have 43 days to decide where I want to go.
===

After Monday, you can take all the holiday stuff and put it away for another year. I've had about enough.

Thanks for peeking! :)

A "small" fire requires 5 fire trucks?!

....and other observations.

Jeff and I went to WalMart near Mom's house, just to get milk, and we were there all of 2 minutes when there was this announcement that the store needed to be evacuated.

As we were leaving, the fire fighters were already unrolling the hoses and headed towards where there was smoke.

We stuck around for a bit, and I asked a cop what was going on, and he said it was a small fire inside the store. Well, duh!

People were taking pictures with camera phones, and I was wishing I still had my Motorola phone with Channel 4's news tips line in the address book. I had to give that one up when I went to Wyoming because of the different "technology". Tracfone now offers a camera phone for like $60, and I think I will get one when my financial situation improves.

It seems a lot of stuff goes down in MWC, and maybe a camera phone will come in handy.

But why, pray tell, did it take five Edmond fire trucks for a small fire?
===

Someone got a new work computer (at last!). I'm almost jealous.
===

The days of my sitting around like a lump have to end. Nothing gets accomplished that way.
===

And... those individual packets of Hamburger Helper you can get now-- the ones where all you have to do is add water-- there is hamburger in them, but it's a joke. You almost have to look for them!
===

If you live in Edmond, it's Yes Yes No No. Think of Beethoven's 5th symphony. Works for me!
