      sent to drain?

      Yeah...I'm not pleased with you. As a result, dh spent some time looking up 90s music. I had to watch Sabotage and listen to clips of songs I kept remembering how much I hated. :P

  2. There's a tarantula by the door of our building. (They migrate through this area in the fall in search of girlfriends.) I may ask for a piggyback ride to my car.

      I would be moving. Like yesterday.

      Migrating tarantulas, oh my! How aweful! How long are they doing that? And I hope they are at least migrating a couple of hundred miles away from you!

      Kind of cool! Of course, I can say that because I live FAR away :)

      Wow - The Doctor doing Shakespeare. Is it Hamlet? He is a great Hamlet.

      Yes, he did a version of Hamlet that you can see on Netflix. The Shakespeare Uncovered series is more of a behind-the-scenes look at Shakespeare and performances.

      too bad it's not Jude Law Uncovered. oHNOIdidnotjustsaythat...

  5. Too bad making a packing list doesn't get the bags packed and the van loaded.

      Like! You said what I am sitting here thinking!

  6. Trying to decide on a camera bag is almost as vexing as choosing an iPad case was. Too many choices, and the ones I like best are shockingly expensive.

  7. Tweaked my back while doing some deep cleaning and have been couch-bound much of the day. That's what I get for doing housework.

      That'll teach you to stop doing it! ;)

  8. Vent: Apparently it's unreasonable to expect a person to acknowledge receiving a Christmas gift, let alone say thanks.

    1. GailV

      GailV

      Aha, I see you've been sending gifts to my inlaws.

      I know your frustration all to well.

      yep, we finally stopped giving to those people.

  9. Watching Call the Midwife while I clean a closet...but mostly just watching Call the Midwife.

  10. Watching old Doctor Who on Netflix while everything cooks and I fold laundry. Is Leela always so grouchy?

  11. Watching Shakespeare Uncovered, which is much more entertaining for me than any NFL game.

  12. Watching The Hollow Crown this weekend. Shakespeare isn't the most reliable historian, but wow, I didn't learn much at all about British history in school.

  13. Watching the pilot for Once Upon a Time. Does the acting and dialogue get better?

    1. Dana

      Dana

      We didn't think so, although I know a number of people really enjoy it.

    2. Shamzanne

      Shamzanne

      Not really, but I like it anyways!

      I like the premise but am not so sure about the execution of the idea. I'll give it a few episodes at least.

  14. We just had a foot of snow and may get 6-12 more inches? Counting the days until spring.

  15. We've been running from the stomach bug for several weeks, but it finally bit us. Blech!

      Do the symptoms happen to include a fever? Something has shown up at our house ... :(

      DD is running a low-grade temp as well.

      I hope it is mild and passes quickly! (for both of us)

  16. Went to family night at the skating rink. I still love roller skating even though I'm much older than when I used to win the limbo every time I went skating.

  17. Whenever I see the words "tri-state area," I hear them in Dr. Doofenshmirtz's voice.

      Same here-and we live in a tri-state area, too

      DS is playing with it now. Thank you!

  18. Why can't I find a girl's half-slip anywhere? Do kids not wear them anymore?

      Maybe try Von Maur or Bergners, Macys.

      Thanks, RootAnn! I was just at Target and didn't see any, but I didn't think about checking their online-only items.

      I've had good luck at Sears.

  19. Winter Storm Warnings make me anxious.

  20. Won $50 at my company Christmas party's employee drawing. Woo!

  21. Yeah, as soon as I clicked Submit I scrambled to change it.

  22. You'd better believe I judge books by their covers—especially self-published ebook covers.
