A new definition of hell

And this little news nugget straight from Newsoftheweird.com:
“And many members of India’s lower house of parliament, opposed to the finance minister’s attempt to raise the price of fertilizer, did the Indian equivalent of a U.S. filibuster by screaming raucously for more than four straight hours on March 15 until the minister withdrew the proposal.”

We own a house now!!!!!!!

We may have very well signed away our first born to either RGS Title or Cendant/Coldwell Mortgage Company, but we own a townhouse in Ashburn, Virginia.
We don’t officially take control til June 5th and we’ll move in on June 14th. An email will go out to all friends and family with our new address/phone number in a few weeks.
In less than a week we’ll be in Wisconsin! Yay Vacations!

A Birthday Visit

So yesterday was my birthday and just like last year I had a visit from the Pimple-be-Gone Fairy. This seems to be the new trend in my birthdays. The brilliant part is that PbG-F has stayed on for yet another day and now I have 2 whole days without a single ugly spot on my face.
In other more exciting news, we close in 3 days and the Matrix opens in 2!

Woohoo!

Its a............

BOY!

More pictures to follow.

Countdowns...and other dates

Today is May 8th. It would have been my Grandma’s 79th birthday today had she not died of some horrible cancer 2 years ago on her birthday. I miss having the most fun Grandma ever. What other grandma would take an 11 year old out to bars for dancing and drinking Kiddie Cocktails till bar time? If there is such a place as heaven I hope she and her sisters are mixing it up and creating a whole new reputation for themselves.

3 days til…
On a less somber note…
Sunday is Mothers Day. I keep wondering if I qualify? Does the act/process of gestating make you a mother? Probably not. However, if there is a Hallmark card for the pregnant crowd, my mother WILL find it and send it to me. She’s Hallmark’s best customer. I should send flowers since a card won’t get there on time now. Damnit. On the bright side, last year my birthday fell on Mother’s Day which always sucks. In my relatively short life my birthday has fallen on that date 5 times! No one wants to give you a birthday party on someone elses holiday and NOW that I’ll be able to enjoy double the party on Mothers day, my birthday won’t fall on it again until 2013!!!!! Hooray Pepetual Calendars.

Four Days til…
My 31st birthday…(ugh) I have a dentist’s appointment on my birthday. I hope this isn’t an omen of bad birthdays to come. I still have a very good recollection (surprising, I know…) of my 21st birthday. It doesn’t actually seem possible that I’m nearing my 31st! What the hell have I done with the last decade? I can look back on a lot of it and say ‘At least I had fun’ and I guess thats what really matters, right?

Five Days til…
My Level II Ultrasound. I’m sure you’re wondering what that is, or you’re hoping I don’t tell you because its some boring baby stuff. Well… it IS boring baby stuff. Assuming the blaby cooperates and flashes the right bits our way I can stop calling it “It” and start calling it he or she.

Eight Days til…
CLOSING!
EEK! In 8 days we’ll own a house. In Ashburn, Virginia. We won’t be able to go into it until June 5th and move in until June 14th, but damnit, we’re going to own a house.
