    It's been sunny this week in England, and today it's freezing! I think it's my fault, as yesterday I was saying how I miss winter.

    Yeah, its been in the 80s here for a few weeks. I'm shaking out here in my t-shirt :( I may go run around with the kids, just to warm up.

    Bloody hell! 80F is like a summers day here haha! It's 9oC here at the moment :O

    Edit - So that's apparently 48.2 Fahrenheit haha

    O.O What does "in the 80's" mean?

    I mean it has been 80 or so for several weeks, UNTIL today. I guess I missed that key word earlier. Lol.

    XD I'm the opposite, the heat makes me so sleepy, and itchy. I'm also terrified of wasps, and they're getting bigger every year!

    I love winter. Aside from not knowing whether my nose is running or not, haha

    Is that a sarcastic "Woo hoo", or are you really happy? :)

    If you read back a few pages, you'd see that I'm really happy, considering I was suspended yesterday.

    Congrats! I know that has to feel awesome

    I have an interview on Tuesday for a higher position. I'm unsure of what to wear now though... and just nervous overall.

    I knew there was a possibility of suspension, but I have to admit, I didn't read back all the pages I missed the other day.

    I'm so happy for you J. :)

    I've lost my bloke to wrestlemania tonight.

    I feel for you Dani.

    Mine is in the garage doing what I call "tinkering", which is code for "making a big mess while accomplishing nothing".

    My son is playing xbox, and my daughter is doing crafts, and begging me to play barbies with her later. Um... I really can't get my head into barbies today. Usually I can go to that level, play my little arse off, and have a blast. But today, just not in a barbie place. Too much else on my mind. I really need more than 24 hours in a day, more money than I make so I can get all the things I need done, done. Also, a maid wouldn't hurt. Just saying. :)

    This feeling is rather new to me, I'm usually into "Manly" things. But at the moment, what I wouldn't give to be playing with barbies too!

    I'm glad I have you folks to distract me..
  • Apr 1, 2012, 04:28 PM

    We have tons of barbies. Come on over! We can dress them up, do their hair, they can lounge around in the castle that's mortgage free that I made for them. Wait. Okay, now I want to kill the little buggers! I build them a house, buy them furniture, clothes, friends, even a van and a camper! They have perfect bodies, hair, and want for nothing.

    I never want to play with them again! I think they're using me! :(

    Oh God, it's half midnight. Wow.

    When your girlie grows out of them, you'll have the satisfaction of popping the heads out. :D

    Giggle. I may pop the heads off a few of them, and giggle madly while doing it. But I can't mutilate all of them. Those things are bloody expensive! :(

    It's only 5:30pm where I am. Oh crap, I guess that means I should make some dinner. Sigh.

    I would make dinner for you, but I can't cook! (Yet)

    Barbies, ugg I hate those things. E never gets into those. I don't think they are healthy for a little girls sense of self image... I don't know though, maybe I am way off. I remember hating Barbies because they were so damn perfect. She's not really a doll kind of girl though. She likes going fishing and playing in the dirt.

    I loved barbies. But I suppose I did grow to be a slim big boobed blondie...

    ... WITH brains, because I liked the man toys too haha.

    I loved barbies when I was little. I would spend hours in my play room with my barbies. But, my barbies all had jobs, got married, had kids, but still worked. They made their own clothes (okay, I made them for them, but still). I was ahead of my time. ;)

    Mine is as well. LOL. He loves wrestling but so does my oldest son, so I guess they can keep each other company.

    Okay, day 3 of a headache. I NEVER get headaches. Well one of the docs I work for made me take my blood pressure this morning. You guessed it. It's high 159/109. Close to stroke level.

    Yes I do take BP meds, but apparently they aren't working. Doc gave me some different meds to help, but they are making me sick. :(

    Girl, I have the cure! A nice relaxing vacation is just the thing you need. But, don't come right now. Right now we have snow, and it's cold. Wait a month or two. But in the meantime, plan it! I have bunnies! Who could be stressed when holding a bunny? :)

    Oh, I'm not stressed, that's just the thing. Nice calm and cool, just have a headache. Maybe doctors should prescribe bunnies for high blood pressure.

    I'm drinking plenty of water bella. This is all too strange as it happened so quickly. Still not feeling well today. I'm going to call the doctor as soon as they open. If I can't get in I'll probably go to the hospital.

    I have to share this because it made me giggle.

    At least once a week I get a call, call display shows Private name, private number. It's always an Indian guy telling me that he works for Telus, and that I have a virus on my computer. We all know this is a scam, but apparently these scammers haven't figured out that the word is out, that we all know.

    Anyway, this was the conversation.

    Idiot guy: Hello sir or madam, my name is Habish from telus and we're calling to inform you that you have a virus on your computer (insert heavy Indian accent).

    Me: I have a virus? How do you know? Who gave you access to my computer?

    IG: No one gave us access, it's a virus on Windows.

    Me: I have a Mac.

    IG: Um... you don't use Windows?

    Me: No (lying through my teeth).

    IG: Oh, well you have a virus on your Mac.

    Me: How do you know this? You'd have to have access to my computer to know this, so I ask again, who allowed you access?

    IG: We don't have access, but we need to have access to fix it.

    Me: You're not answering my question. How do you know I have a virus unless you have access to my computer?

    IG: Um... we just know.

    Me: Do you have access to a computer?

    IG: Yes, of course.

    Me: Google "computer scams", you guys are on the list.

    IG: We don't scam people.

    Me: Then why are you hiding your phone number, why are you not able to tell me how you know I have a virus, and why are you not answering my questions?

    IG: We're not a scam.

    Me: Get a real job. Playing dumb won't help you when you're arrested.

    IG: We're not a scam.

    Me: Ya right, and I'm a virgin. Have a good day.

    :)

    That's hilarious! I like to speak aborigine (sp?) (or what my mind tells me is aborigine) to the people like that who call me. I was transferred to a spanish translator at one point, I spoke italian to him.
