QUOTE OF THE DAY

I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down.

Pissing the night away.

He drinks a whisky drink.
He drinks a vodka drink.
He drinks a lager drink.
He drinks a Cider drink.

He sings the songs that remind him of the good times.

~ Woke up to a full house. (Steve took off work today and the girls didn't have daycare.)

~ Chugged coffee.

~ Started cleaning up so as not to appear lazy in front of my other half.

~ Practically pushed Steve out the door to go down back and start burning in the burn pit like he had said he was going to do.

~ Bundled the girls up in their snowsuits and boots a few minutes later and walked them down back to see the fire and to help chuck some wood pieces on it. (Shut up. It got us out of the house in the miserable sleet/snow/freezing rain thing we had going on here.)

~ For no apparent reason, decided to alphabetize our CD collection.

~ Found the best albums that I totally forgot I had, but that I played so I could take that trip down memory lane... Weezer, The BoDeans, Toad the Wet Sprocket, DaDa, Shakespeare's Sister, Rage Against the Machine, Operation Ivy.... Sweet!

~ Found myself telling the girls stories about "When I was younger..." and stopped myself before I told them something I'd really regret later on.

~ For the life of me, can't figure out how it is that I currently own two copies (one unopened) of the Chumbawumba album with "Tubthumping" on it. Seriously people. WTH?

~ Resisted the urge to listen to that song just for kicks, because I knew it would remind me of the guy I used to date/bang and I didn't want to accidentally launch into those stories while talking to the girls. LOL!

~ Greeted the guy from the granite company, here to make the templates for the kitchen countertops.

~ Was annoyed when he said he did indeed need our stovetop in order to template, even though I asked the kitchen designer three times (literally) on three seperate occasions and was told no.

~ Was relieved when Granite Man said they just needed the make and model number. However, having not even chosen it yet, I sort of panicked.

~ Had MIL drive here and sit with the girls while Steve and I ran to the appliance place to finalize the stovetop (and other appliances) so we could fax the specs to Granite Man.

~ Decided that taking Steve with me was a bad idea when we left there with him hyperventilating and doing math in his head, trying to figure out if the remainder of our home equity loan was going to cover the appliances or not.

~ Decided it would be a bad time to ask Steve if he'd like to buy me a new computer. [snort!]

~Ate fabulous Lemon Pepper Haddock that I LOVED at the time of consumption, but which caused me to feel like vomiting about an hour later.

~ Had a blast when all four of us played with beach balls and soccer balls in the living room after dinner.

~ Laughed (and admittedly) half yelled when Steve (in the midst of playtime with the girls) managed to knock the old lobster trap hanging in our living room off of the ceiling. ASS! Don't you ever yell at the girls for screwing around in the house again.

~ Continued the Great Photo Copying Project from one computer to the other.

~ Managed to get the children to bed and now I'm here.
