Yay!

It's not an ear infection! The rug rats didn't pass something on to me for once! I went to see the Doc today, and it turns out it isn't infected yet. Yet. The canal leading to my inner ear is super inflamed, so he put me on triple strenth sudafed and ear drops. The pharmacist warned me though, not to take more than one of the pills at a time, and not to exceed two a day. They apparently induce hallucinations. Hee. That could be fun actually.

Now I just need to suffer through two more days of work. Friday is Toy Day. 20+ children and their toys. God help me!

Zack, I'll keep an eye out for any plant porn. Maybe you can include a risque scene in your book! ;)

Oh Kristy...do like mexican food?

:(

I have an ear infection. At least I think so. All my kids have been having them lately and my ear hurts. I'm going to the Doctor tomorrow. My doctor's name is Tom Jones. How funny is that? Randy hasn't called yet. Meanie. Kristy is coming in less than 4 weeks. I'm rambling. I'm so sleepy!

edit: Today's Boner of the Day winner from X96:

"That plant has been acting sexy": Strange but true. A caller had a hot
tip for the reporters of the Standard Examiner in Ogden. He called saying
that he could see a pornographic movie being made. He could actually see
the crew. A reporter in the area stopped by but could not find
anything. The reporter went back to office just in time for another call
from the anonymous informant. The caller apologized for his earlier call.
He had been drinking for quite a while and mistook a plant on a balcony for a
pornographic movie crew. He had also called the police regarding the
imaginary movie crew. The man was apparently myopic and drunk.

Nothing beats the Duelin' Pianos

This is my favorite bar. I ended up going here last night, after Jason, Travis and Thomas invited me. Though I first said I couldn't, since I was in American Fork at Michelle's at the time, but Jeannie, my ride, got mad at Michelle for some unknown reason, and made me call them back. Truth be told, I'm glad I did. I like Michelle, but I really don't know her that well. Besides, when you have the choice of going to a loud bar or sitting around playing board games on a Saturday night, which would you choose?

This bar rocks. There are two pianos on the stage and Friday and Saturday nights, from 9pm to 1 am, they play all requests. It's loud, the audience gets involved, and the dirtier the song, the louder the patrons are. Drinks are good, it's non smoking, and as a tribute to the bar, there it's often so crowded there is barely any standing room.

Kristy, when you come, we should go. I think you'd love it.

Hell Has Frozen Over

Musiclover2 (Lauren) and Donna actually AGREE with Kristy and me on something!! I am utterly astounded.

Heh heh heh...

I love Britain. From today's Anorak:

MORE Royal news now as the Mirror shines a light into the dark and gloomy
room where Prince Charles is to marry his Camilla.

"It has a sticky, spotty brown carpet," notes the paper, "scraped paintwork
and electrical fittings in clear view."

We note the presence of a few tatty wall hangings, a portrait of Queen
Victoria on the beige walls and a large bronze chandelier handing from the
centre of the ceiling.

"FIT FOR A KING?" asks the paper. But before we can reply, the Express
chips in.The paper says the whole place is "shabby", which, to our minds, makes
it entirely suited to this wedding.

Adventures in Babysitting or The Wisdom of Children

Last night 3 year old Lela asked me if my ring was a wedding ring. No, I answered, it's not a wedding ring. Swear to Buddah, I'm not making this up.

"Oh. Why?"

"Well, I'm not married."

"Why?"

"I don't know!"

"Oh. Is your mommy as old as Grandma?"

"Mmmm...she's old, but not a grandma."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't have any kids."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not married."

"Why?"

"Because boys don't ask me out."

"Why?"

"I don't know!"

"You should look for a husband." Don't I know it.

Hee hee hee...that's not all. When I picked her up, I told her she was getting too big and one day I wouldn't be able to carry her anymore. She said when she's five, she'd be too big, and then one day she would be old and she didn't want to be because no one could carry her.

"It's ok Lela, when you're old, you'll shrink."

"I'll shrink?"

"Yep. Old people get shorter."

"Then when I'm old, you'll carry me again?"

(laughing) "When you're old Lela, I'll probably be dead!"

(frowning) "Why are you laughing Richelle? That's not funny."

I'm a terrible babysitter. Not only did I inform a three year old about mortality, her 5 year old brother needed to take cough medicene before bed. Though it was bubblegum flavored, he didn't like it and tried to sip it. I finally said,

"Just shoot it Landis."

"Shoot it?"

"Yeah. Drink it really fast, so you don't taste it as much."

"How?"

"Here watch. Pretend this is your medicene cup. Do this. (mimes a shot.)" He does it.

Oh crap. I just taught a 5 year old to do a shot.

Ahhh...Cadbury!

Why is it that Cadbury only puts out the best chocolate at Easter? Creme eggs, caramel eggs, mini eggs...I bought some creme eggs Saturday, and the pig that I am, I ate them by Monday. I bought a few more today. They WILL last until at least Wednesday. I got mini eggs (my favorites) in a package from my parents today. Yay!

Speaking of the package...my father decided that since I broke the passenger side mirror off my car 2 years ago, I now need a new one. Armed with his tool box, he visited one of his favorite places on earth; the junkyard. Lo and behold, he did manage to find one that fit, and sent it to me with instructions for putting it on. Surprisingly, it was easy enough and I put it on with little difficulty. Go me!

WE HAVE A COVER!

DRnunk

That title is an ode to our former friend Chrys, who titled a drunken post that one night. I always thought it was funny.

I'm so sleepy! Weekends are my time to sleep...and I got none! Both Friday and Saturday nights I didn't get home until 2 am, and I woke at 7 both mornings. Saturday it was thanks to a wrong number, and Sunday, I...erm...didn't feel well. Today, it was all I could do not to fall asleep at work, and now I just have a headache. I will, however, be heading to bed as soon as American Idol is over...at 8 pm. How pathetic is that?

Week in Review

Saturday: Josh's Birthday Party

We met at Dee's at 6:00, and surprisingly, I was the first one there. I figured since I lived the closest, only a few blocks away, there was no reason to be late. About 15 of us came, and Hiba even brought a cardboard Josh cutout complete with party hat. We had a cake with his picture on it, like last year; sang like last year; and made even bigger asses out of ourselves than last year. It had to be a shortest of our get togethers, only 3 hours long.

Sunday: The Oscar Party

Jessie hosted it again this year. Since it was Jeannie's birthday, she had requested Jessie's infamous hot artichoke dip, chocolate dipped strawberries, and german chocolate cake. YUM! I won 2nd place in our annual ballot voting, with 9 correct winner guesses. Jeannie won with 12 and got a $10 gift card to Blockbuster.

Monday:

Found this blog...anyone who has ever lived with a roommate can relate. http://ihatemyflatmate.blogspot.com

Tuesday: Movie Night

Jeannie and I have taken to frequenting the dollar theater. Last night we saw The Incredibles. Way cute movie!! I wasn't too excited to see it, seeing as the dollar theater rarely has good movies, but I really liked this one. We both did actually.

Wednesday: Dinner with Kathy!!

I got a voice mail today from my dear friend Kathy! She came into town for her grandmother's funeral, and asked if I'd like to go to dinner. Of course I jumped at the chance, and we ate at Crown Burger. Ice cream at Baskin Robbins followed, then we drove around and talked for a bit. After Kristy's visit, I'm going to have to start saving money to go visit her in Connecticut.
