Lord, I was born a ramblin' (wo) man

Haven't been into blogging much lately. Twin #2 tripped over my laptop cord and broke off the prong thingy to the charger so my laptop sits dead on my desk. I went to try and buy a new charger but they don't have the right one and I need to order one online. I keep forgetting (well, durrrrr Einstein, you COULD be doing it right now). So I have to use the boys computer and all of my bookmarks and such are not in this computer. I feel handicapped without the conveniences of having all my stuff mapped out for me. Pooh. Forgive me while I randomly ramble about stuff.

  • Bought all of my new appliances for the kitchen. I Researched many brands and settled on the Kenm0re Pr0 Series. Not only do they have the professional industrial look, they seem to have all of the features of the overpriced popular brands that I have been looking at. We shall see.....
  • I thought I was going to get through this "winter" unskaved with sickness, but I got a crazy sinus infection. One Z-pack later and I am still snorfulling. Twin #1 got the flu. He has been on the DL for 4 days now.
  • Since I gave up the 'Buck I have been on the hunt for a comparable sub for my coffee. I busted out the french press and bought a milk frother. LOVE my milk frother. This thing is insane. I have perfected the perfect latte, Tigerlily style.
  • Getting older sucks major ass. I have had a flare up in my tendonitis (tennis elbow and shoulder) and my Homeboy has developed Illiotibial Band Syndrome in his hip. Both of us reek of Icy Hot and we have been ordered to take glucosamine/condroidin tabs daily. The really sucky part is that we are pretty active as I do yoga and walk regularly and Homeboy surfs daily. PLUS it's not like we are THAT old. I'm in the upper 30's and he is holding at the low 40's. Damn.

  • Need I say more?
  • I have been to our Dr's office 5 days out of 5 working days this week. We had to have our homestudy physicals done, so since it was spring break I scheduled them all within days of each other. I guess it was good since we cranked them all out at once, but the way it played out I was there everyday for someones appointment, blood test or ppd reading. THEN I had to go back for my sinus infection. Gaaaahhhh.

  • I almost lept out of my flip flops when I saw that they now carry refried black beans at my market. I no longer have to go all the way to Tr@der Joe$ to stock up on these bad boys. Refried black bean goodness is at my fingertips. Don't they look like black baby poop? Don't let the look fool you they are wonderful.

  • It was 79 degrees in the So of Cal today. Gorgeous. Life is good.
  • Do you ever have these spells where you eat a meal and then it was like you never ate at all and you are starving 5 minutes after you ate? Or, you take two bites of something and you are instantly full and satisfied? I am in the eat like a horse phase. Is it hormonal or do I have a tapeworm? Hmmmmm?
Later.

I'm sorry you've been feeling yuck. It's not fun being sick or having to take care of someone who's sick. Hope everyone feels better soon.

Hmmm, that warm down there...it may be time for a vacation.

I love those beans girl. No, you do not have tapeworms, it is just that time of the month.

...and sausage rolls, and Maynards Winegums. The Brits didn't get that stellar international food reputation for nothing.

Get well soon. 5 days at the docs sounds almost as rough as not being well.
