Overheard recently on the radio while driving to Walmart (again).....
"Okay, son. We have to go get Mommy a Christmas present!"
"Are we gonna get her a dinosaur, daddy?"
"Oh no, son. Mommies don't like dinosaurs. They like pretty things. We're gonna get Mommy a diamond."
Screw you, daddy. There are plenty of Mommies out there that like dinosaurs! If you were my husband, I would soooo kick your ass.
Okay, so I like to 'dress up' as much as the next girl. I actually used to enjoy going to the stupid holiday parties because it gave me an excuse to get dressed up and pretend that I was a Bond girl for one night. Put on a nice slinky dress, sport some high heels, put on some lipstick. Yeah, I like it. But, I'm not a big jewelry person. I've got a couple of nice pairs of diamond earrings, and of course my engagement and wedding band, but that's it.
I would rather get a Nintendo DS game than a diamond. Call me crazy.
It's been a crazy week. Thus not so many posts.
The weekend was spent dealing with clogged ducts. Not the ducts you're thinking of. Milk ducts. Yeah. They get clogged. I don't know why or how it happened, but it did. It's the most uncomfortable and painful thing too. Happened once on Friday and then again on Sunday.
Let me explain it this way. It's like having a rock under your skin. Then having someone suck the rock out with a straw while you 'massage' it along its path. Yeah. UNPLEASANT. But, KT did her job and Mommy is functioning once again.
Tuesday, I had the second dentist appointment. Only a cleaning on the right side this time and no anesthetic was needed. One of the fillings that was redone on the left is really sensitive now. Hot and cold sensitive. I told the hygenist and she blew me off saying, "It's normal for teeth to be sensitive after fillings. Let us know how it is when you come back in January". There better not be some hole in my tooth. If it gets infected and I end up having to have a root canal or something there is gonna be hell to pay.
Huzbend got the Xbox360 game 'Gears of War' last week. The game is really, really cool. So cool, that even I began to play. I'm usually not into FPS's ('first person shooters' to all you non-geek types). But, I figured I would give it a try.
I suck. Why do you have to use TWO joy-stick thingies? You have to use one to get your guy to run around and the other to get him to turn/look around/aim your gun. I can't seem to use both at once. Add to that two triggers; one zooms in to target and the other actually shoots the gun. And then add to that another four buttons and it becomes downright laughable to watch me attempt to play. My top two exclamations during play are as follows:
"Get away! Get away from me! You're too close!" Said while baddie is running directly towards me. I can't kill guys that get to close to me because I panic and hit too many of the buttons.
OR
"Sigh. I don't know where the hell I am."
Poor Marcus Fenix ends up running into walls and turning in circles before dying many horrible deaths at the hands of the Locust hordes. Poor guy. I'm really sorry, dude.
Anyways, enough about my suckage. The only complaint that I have, even though I am nowhere near finishing the game, is why so SHORT? Huzbend got the game last Wednesday and finished it on Sunday. He only put in maybe 6 hours total. That is really unheard of in this day and age. Usually, it takes 20 plus hours to finish a game. Huzbend had this one RPG (role-playing game) that took him, like, one hundred hours to finish.
He felt gipped that the game was so short. So did I. I like to watch and I didn't even get to see most of it. Guess I'll just have to finish it myself. That is, if I can get Marcus to cooperate.
Dammit. Get OUT of the CORNER, doofus. God, I suck.
Sigh.
