And with Austin this year here:

Friends, never let it be said that I am too full of myself to hide the less than attractive photos of myself...it's what keeps me real and in touch with the people.

Anyway, read the other post if you want to know exactly WHY I didn't leave Chattanooga as planned on Wednesday. No, here it is Saturday--NINE frigging days after I left home for a 4.5 day jaunt, and I'm preparing to leave. You can imagine how thrilled W. is with me a this point. He's a good egg no matter how much I bitch about him. Frankly, no matter how much he's complained about me being gone, I think he and Five have actually probably enjoyed having the sty, er house to themselves for the whole week plus.

Since Sarah left, I've had lots of free time. I could have gone out w/ a friend on Thursday night, but I just didn't feel like it. Everyone that I know had to do mundane things such as work or spend time with family, so I had lots of solitude. I went to see Sex and the City. I ate at Panera a lot. I stayed up faaaaar too much (last night was freakish and I went to sleep at SIX a.m.) and watched all sorts of my favorite cable rerun shows, Top Chef, and Regis and Kelly. Good times, but pretty damn boring after awhile.

I miss having something to actually DO. This is a clear sign that the Wellbutrin is kicking in, I think. So, I'm heading home in just a few--meeting the parents in Murfreesboro to pick up my kids on their way home from their trip to Wyoming because I don't want to wait for them to drive all the way here and then leave. I'm that ready to just be home. Weird, but true.

I will update here more often, but if I disappear other places, you understand why. I have summer school for two weeks and many, many weeks worth of housework to deal with. Plus, I have to begin my holy-shit-I'm-almost-40 workout regimine so that I don't cry when I see pictures of the unfortunate event. To quote a smart lady, "Be safe!"

shitty, terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad mood lately and i have nothing even remotely positive or constructive to post or bitch about, so i'm going to take the weekend to just pull my head out of my ass and get my act together. or get really drunk and forget anything unpleasant. not sure which yet.

this should be some sort of memorable entry, but it won't be. it will be positively mundane and ordinary because i can't think of a single thing to write about that is really 100th-post-worthy. so, i guess that means that the comment section of the 100th post better be kick-ass entertaining, yes?

go to it. comment. enlighten. amuse. commemorate.

or should that be 'pubic' service announcement?

while undies that are constructed in the manner of pants and, as such, have a seam running down the middle of the crotch might sound like a good idea or even something you wouldn't think you'd notice, it turns out there is more to it than just another seam. not such a comfy idea. i mean, sure they LOOK really cute when you're standing up and looking in a mirror, but walking, sitting and just generally functioning? yeah, not so cute. especially if one is at work and has limited ability to adjust underwear, especially around one's girl parts.

I feel very, very special.

Thank you, Superman, Gothmog, TJ, Tink and Sally and anyone else who crawled out of the woodwork, either of free will or from peer pressure, the past couple of days. It was lovely to see you again.

*sigh*

To the spousal one, mr. kim, who alleges that he had no idea I had a new blog, much less a new domain. How he missed out on that fact is beyond me, but I'm a little vague sometimes, so perhaps it is all my fault (not frigging likely, but I'm open).

Mr. Kim does the laundry and cooks most of the meals in our house. Isn't that super-nice of him?

I have found the remote. As I ranted yesterday, I was most likely sitting on the damn thing. It was ever-so-trickily wedged under two cushions, so when I looked under one, it was masked by the other. When I finally dragged both cushions off at the same time, there it was. Innocently lying there amongst the crumbs and small toys.

I am most pleased--now I can watch The Tudors, which I recorded last night, today.

I don't blog on serious stuff much because it's not really my forte--I like to leave it to those who are more worldy or wise than I on such matters such as Sasha or Landru or, on one of my favorite topics, Autism Diva and Kathleen Siedel and Kevin Leitch. If you want to read up on world affairs, sporting topics, and the continuing debate and exposure on some of the looniest theories and crooks in the autism world, then those are the links for you. I'll be back later to share one of the most embarrassing, if not THE most embarrassing event of my post-child, adult life. Get ready.

This is really going to be my year. I can just feel it. Somewhere among the chaos and confusion and carnage that is sure to lie ahead, I will be celebrated for the spectacular person that I really am. Or, if that doesn't pan out, I feel confident that I will at least look fanfuckingtastic since I am now losing weight and actually eating in a somewhat healthy manner. No matter about those things, though, because the one thing that is guaranteed to make 2007 the best damn year ever is this:

BUBBLEHEAD IS RETIRING!

Yes, kids, you heard it here first. The worst boss in the history of bosses is, after much pain and suffering on the part of her staff, riding off into the florescent glow of the Hobby Lobby lights and bidding us farewell as of June 30. There are simply not words to describe my glee, my exuberance, my outright ecstasy at this turn of events.

Needless to say, we won't be shedding to many tears on June 30 and we may all be shitfaced, rolling drunk from celebrating on July 1. All I know is that suddenly 2007 became my all-time favorite year and I'm going to savor every day of it.

Now I just have to mail the real estate stuff in and study for the stupid test that will be the death of me. I can' t wait.

They um, pretty much suck.

Never let it be said that I am without profound insight into life.

That when all else fails, go get a chocolate-dipped cone from McDonalds and read a nice novel or do a Sudoko and your day is suddenly better?

I'd add in a bottle or two of wine, but I have to be up early in the morning.
