Random Stuff

When you get pumped full of saline it makes you really fat for awhile, it makes your arm really cold, and it makes you have to use the potty a lot the day afterward. So I'm in the potty a lot today, staring at this particular tile on the floor:



Does it not look like a woman with long hair kissing a dude with a beard and a crown? Don't see it? Here, I'll help you out.



See it now? Please say yes.

I was at the grocery store today to get some orange juice and I saw these:







And I totally bought them. And as a kicker, the things really sparkle. No lie. And they taste like crap. And I'm not certain that they're digestible.

Oh, and for the first time ever today, I started one of those fruit avalanches at the grocery store. You know the kind you only see in movies or on TV? The ones where someone picks up one piece of fruit and all the fruit rolls off the display and into the floor? Yep. That was me. Good times.

Why the Hubs rocks my world

1) He got up with M this morning and let me sleep in.

2) He made me breakfast and brought me my cold medicine in bed.

3) He knows I get a migraine when I get a cold, so he drove to the grocery store at midnight last night to get me migraine medicine and Coke.

4) He is watching Twilight with me right now, without making snarky comments, because he hopes it will help me feel better.

5) Last week he went to Wal-Mart one night to get ant traps (I hate ants!) and came
back with the traps, diapers for M (I didn't ask him to do that), and lady products for me because he "noticed I was running low." Haha! He noticed!

6) He made me chocolate chip cookies last week.

7) He brought me flowers last week after his musical instruments attacked me.

8) Last night was our "date" night and even though I was sick he still brought me take out and after M went to bed he WATCHED OUR WEDDING VIDEO WITH ME.

9) He loaded the dishwasher for me this morning.

10)He sat in the floor with M this morning and bravely helped her dress and undress all of her princess dolls over and over without complaining. Then he let her brush his hair and put bows in it. Seriously one of the most manly things I've ever seen any man do. Taking care of his little girl.

11)He scrubbed the bathtub this morning and changed all the sheets, my usual Saturday morning ritual, because he wants me to rest and feel better.

12)He works hard all week and still helps me around the house on Saturdays and takes M for a few hours so I can have some time to myself.

13)He still looks like he did in college (Ohhhhh, yeaaaaah)

14)He fixes my computer when it's being stupid

15)He's the best of best, my own personal Edward, and none of you suckahs can have him.

Edward vs. Jacob

Today I had lunch with a friend of mine who has just finished New Moon. Now she is Team Jacob. I'm still friends with her because I love my friends in spite of their flaws. We were enjoying our lunch. I was having Tortellini A La Pana and she was having a Calzone. M was eating chicken nuggets as usual. We were laughing it up like we were in an Olive Garden commercial or something. We weren't even discussing Twilight. When our laughing died down, she comes out with this: "I don't know how you can even like Edward. He's so controlling and abusive." uh UH! She did NOT just say that! So I told her WHY I love Edward and why Jacob makes me want to spit.

Edward isn't controlling. He's protective. He's had a century long dry spell, you'd expect that of him. Yes, he tries to keep her from seeing Jacob in Eclipse, but he later backs off on that and lets her see him, against his better judgment. He even admitted that keeping her from him was wrong because she can make her own decision. That whole situation goes to show that even though Edward goes overboard sometimes, all it takes is Bella standing up to him.

And he isn't abusive. I'm so tired of this accusation against my book boyfriend. It's usually spoken by people who haven't been in an abusive relationship. I'll use personal examples. Not once did I see Edward grabbing Bella by her hair and slamming her against the wall. I never saw him punching her in the stomach because it wouldn't leave a mark. I never saw him tell her she was worthless and unlovable. Never once did he hit her and tell her that she deserved it. And the one time he did actually bruise her, by accident, it took him forever to forgive himself, even though she had forgiven him from the beginning. He was afraid to even touch her after that. And he always, in their relationship, gave her the option to leave if she wanted. Abusive relationships are all about dominance. And Edward was protective, but he didn't assert dominance over Bella.

Jacob was more abusive than Edward. Because 1) He kissed her without her permission, even forcing the kiss on her after she refused him and continued the kiss even after she struggled against him. Then after she broke her hand punching his face in (something he rightfully deserved), he still taunted her boyfriend and tried to flirt with her. 2) He manipulated her emotions over and over again, hurting her over and over again, to try to get what he wanted. 3) He lied to her to manipulate her once again, using freaking SUICIDE as a weapon. He has more markers of an abusive person than Edward has.

I told my friend this and she just sat there dumbfounded for a second and said, "Well, I'm still Team Jacob." *Sigh* I tried, Edward. I really tried.

On a lighter note I'm SOOOOOO excited about the DVD release! I was at Wal-Mart today and they are having a costume contest Friday night. I thought that was hilarious. How do you dress like a Twilight character? What would your costume be?

Confessions

1. I love the Twilight series. That's not the confession. The confession is that I haven't gone to see the movie. I know.



Right? The truth is the holidays consumed me and then I got sick, then M got sick, then I got sick again and I never got to the theater to see it. And I don't like girl above because she smokes pot on her front step like a moron and she constantly bites the hand that feeds her. That being said, I will buy my copy this month and probably squeal like a fangirl all the way through it and then spend hours laughing at it's cheesiness. I'm ashamed to be a fan who did not see the movie on the big screen.

2. I'm addicted to LOLCatz. I got addicted when I was on bedrest. I have over 200 saved on my computer. This one is my favorite. For right now (from icanhascheezburger.com).




When Hubs was moving my files over to my new superawesome laptop he asked me why I had a filed labeled "LOL." I told him it was an important private file.

3. When babychild and I go to the park, I have more fun on the swings and slide than she does.

4. Orange Skittles are my favorite candy. Hubs and I decided recently that we're too wasteful so we're trying to be more mindful of how we use things. I don't buy Skittles anymore because I can't justify buying a whole bag just for the orange ones. I miss skittles. :-(

5. I like classic literature and Twilight, but when I really need to just space out and read absolute fluff, I crack out my old Babysitter's Club Books. I keep them in stacks of ten under my bed.

6. I run on the track at the gym because the old ladies on the treadmills can run faster than me and it makes me self-conscious.

7. I'm terrified of carnies and bugs.

8. I still have nightmares (and daymares) about being bullied in high school. I'm still terrified and completely un-trusting of people, which is probably why I don't have many real life friends. Some stuff never leaves.

9. I want to quit my work at home job and start my own business, but I'm too afraid to with the economy the way that it is.

10. I like to challenge people to dance-offs when we have an argument. I always lose the dance-off.

No judgment here! Leave your confessions in the comments if you need to get something off your chest.
