to do my first post of the new year... but alas, this friday the 13th has been no more horrific than any other day. for me, at least... my friend from high school was in labor for 15 hours starting yesterday afternoon and finally gave birth to a precious baby girl early this morning... so i'm sure that was rather horrific, but at least she got the reward of her newborn bundle of joy...
who am i kidding? labor for 15 hours is probably cake compared to the months that follow filled with no sleep, poopy diapers, shittons of crying and did i mention NO SLEEP?! when i get no sleep (read: when i get less than 8 hours of sleep because after less than 8 hours of sleep i am just a shell of the person i used to be), the world ENDS. i am a zombie and i cannot function. pair that with a screaming, pooping mess & i'm pretty sure i'll start having visions of throwing my child out of the window... i don't care how cute it is when it's actually sleeping five minutes at a time. i'm probably unfit for child bearing/rearing. oh well, at least i have time to work through such issues.
enough about babies... (since i've been hearing a lot about them lately)...
i'm sure you've all been anxiously awaiting my new year's resolutions... actually i'm sure you haven't because honestly i haven't even thought about them and they're mine. so i'm sure you care even less than i do... but ALAS...
NY RESOLUTIONS 2012
1. become more independent... sad to say i am one of those people who constantly needs to be entertained... and not by myself, by other people. i am one of those people, when left to the choice to hang out with them self or some friends, will pick my friends over me every single time. for some reason, i have a sneaking suspicion that that's not cool.
2. eat more cheese fries... i consumed a lot this summer during what i would call "the dark time" (aka the divorce days) but have really slacked for the rest of the year. this year, i vow to consume cheese fries more consistently.
3. stand up for myself... i'm one of those people that's really nice (i'm sure, you're surprised... i understand, but this is the one place where i really speak my mind)... so nice that i let people walk all over me and don't ask them for what i need because i'm afraid to make them go out of their way. then when someone takes advantage of my niceness, i get hurt and act all surprised. hey, idiot, letting people walk all over you is just as bad as them walking all over you. 'nuff said.
4. see the ghost... sooo we all know that i had a ghost at the last place i lived at with my (now, ex-)roommate... well, it turns out that in the duplex i currently live at that the guy next door had passed away... i'm CONVINCED that his spirit is still wandering the property. so, here's to you, tex... hopefully we'll meet sometime in the near future.
5. have fun, make no apologies for having fun... self-explanatory. 2011 sucked, so now it's time to make up for it in 2012. i'm already making headway towards this goal as sara and i are shooting a wedding in england in october... happy birthday to ME! which is already shittons better than my asshat of a birthday month this year where i got divorced. see? resolutions CAN come true :)
also, i probably need to sleep more... but i'm not going to make an official resolution out of it because i'm absolutely positive that there's no way it will happen... we can sleep when we're dead, right?
in other news... miss moo has recently received three stuffed rats as presents... i bought her the first one from my brave venture to ikea by myself ON A SATURDAY (i know, i'm a masochist) and then ferret got her two more when he ventured to ikea by himself on a WEEKDAY during the day... yeah, i know... weaksauce. he should probably step it up... miss moo can't choose between the three and instead is spending countless hours trying to figure out how to juggle all three at one time... she's making great strides toward perfection but most of the time she likes to run around the house in circles on an invisible race track with one of them secured in the clutches of her jowls... it's cute. for. now.
hope everyone had a happy new year... happy MLK, Jr weekend... am i the only person that's angry i don't get monday off? i'm going to eat fried chicken in protest. way to stick it to the man, huh?

christmas rats, christmas trips, christmas moving & other extremely christmassy things...
unfortunately all i wanted for christmas i did not get... and what i wanted was that giant ROUS (rodent of unusual size, yes, i love princess bride) DEAD. despite the many traps we set out inside our place and the numerous traps the landlord set outside, it has been over a week and still no dead rodent... we haven't seen any signs of droppings, the house doesn't smell like he decided to make a wall in our house his final resting place and there have been no other instances of vicious attacks on our kitchen... so. strange.
it's almost like he's a ghost rat. which would make sense since our duplex is already haunted by edith. yes, we named her. yes, we love her because she's a nice ghost. for the most part. she just has this thing where she hates electronics and likes to mess with them a lot. and open and close doors. but there haven't been any scary mishaps, so it would only make sense that she have a ghost pet rat.
i'm not too worried about it since i'm moving... ooooooh... tomorrow. i'm stressed but excited but anxious... so you know, all good feelings :) i don't know why i was on crack and thought moving on new year's eve was a good idea, but you know... i don't always have the best ideas. in fact, normally my ideas are really awful. take this one for example.
it's a good thing that i spent the last six days in arizona for christmas. i got to meet ferret's family and friends... i was pleasantly surprised by how awesome/welcoming everyone was. it was probably one of the best vacations i've ever had with someone. even though he has 1.2 million friends and i was on what felt like a national stand-up comedy tour since we hung out with almost all 1.2 million of them during the six days we were in town. it was a whirlwind, but damn, it was fun.
i even got to ride a quad (four wheeler for those of us from texas... only this isn't just any four wheeler, it's souped up and has crazy sport suspension) up the mountains... the view was gorgeous, the weather was perfect... we even saw a little snow... ferret even let me drive (BIG mistake) and almost peed himself because i'm a little crazy when i drive. i'm female. it's natural.
christmas eve, he and his friends have this awesome tradition of riding bikes around the neighborhood to look at the luminaries that line the street. it was absolutely amazing... we even got to sit by the fire pit and indulge in hot chocolate before the ride... ferret felt so christmassy that he even wore a christmas sweater with shoulder pads... that's dedication, folks, as it was rather nipply outside. the best part was that he had to hacksaw his bike so that i could fit on it. yes, i'm an adult. no, i can't ride adult bikes. they should really make small adult bikes for midgets. it gets really embarrassing when you have to continually buy kids bikes... just sayin.
we also went to eat with a huge group of his friends at 4 peaks brewery... they have peach beer, y'all. it's incredible & goes down easy. which definitely explains why i was hungover the next day. stacy, one of ferret's best friends who is cool as shit, and i made friends with a sweater slut who decided it was too risky to wash her hands after having gone pee because she didn't want to wash the slut off her hands. i don't blame her. it's fun having slut hands. stacy decided that in case of emergency a sweater can be turned into a dress as our new friend had done. i thought that her fake boobs could serve as flotation devices, but apparently i was wrong. fake tits do NOT float, according to stacy, who had been enlightened by MANSWERS. i was sad. it felt wrong. i might have cried since my expectations had turned out to be so incredibly wrong. i might need counseling to get over it.
well... my fingers are tired of typing, so i guess that means this post is officially over. in the meantime, i'll try to think of some awesome new years resolutions for 2012.
2011 sucked. bring it on, 2012. you better be a good one.
happy new years, y'all.
