I really want to hit something!

Gabby and I used to have this hamster...Hammy. He died. He was very, very noisy! He was out in the living room, but you could hear him running in his wheel or biting his cage all night long.

I love to have my ceiling fan going full blast...even during the winter. Air circulation. That's what it's all about.

So, lately, my ceiling fan has become increasingly louder and louder. Making rumbling, shaking noises. It makes it really hard to sleep. Especially in the wee hours when I want to hit snooze for another 15 minutes.

This morning I got up and went to investigate. It was no big deal really. The glass encasing for the light bulb was just loose. So, I tightened up the screws, and VOILA! FIXED!

That was about an hour ago. And, now it has come loose again, and is making the most horrendous noise. Oh, yeah, the point about Hammy is that that is what the ceiling fan sounds like. It sounds the Hammy is back, and running full force in his wheel, right in my room! I can't take it!!!

I'm going to try tightening again. It's one of those noises that just makes you cringe!

Miraculously, I wake up the this morning and most of the fruit flies are gone! WEIRD! Where did they go? There are still some in the kitchen, and a random one or two in the bathroom, but what happened to the swarms? That's a little scary. It does look like it's going to rain. Maybe that has something to do with it? Who knows. Not that I'm not happy they're gone, but I would like to know where they migrated to, and if they're coming back. I want to be prepared. I have doused them with so much pledge that my kitchen and bathroom floor are so slippery I have almost fell a hundred times.

Just hanging out today. Taking a break from looking for jobs. I might hang up some laundry, clean out my car, tan, gym, nap...who knows...but OH! I will get the dust vacuumed off of my ceiling fan. I had no idea it was there until I turned it off to fix it. You would think that with how fast it's going that it would repel that stuff, but nope! It's caked on. Who knew?

Tonight is karaoke. A chance to spend some time with JC, and watch his cute little butt sing, and then get made fun of or yelled out for paying too much attention to each other.

I'll blog about my weekend at some point, but in the meantime...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...
