I swore I wouldn't do this

I swore I wouldn't start this and then desert it. But I have been notably remiss in blogging. I think I need to add a rant page...where I can rant and rave about things.

We're having a party for Halloween. On Saturday. We invited the neighbors. Well not all of them -- the ones with kids that our kids play with. And another couple with grown kids.

I've been ebaying. I ran into my first non-paying bidder. And just when I was prepared to report her and relist the item, she responds. Sigh. "I'm new -- didn't know I'd won the auction" Grrrrrr....

I've also been messing with my computer. Getting spyware, adware, and trojans off and adding a firewall. With thanks to my aussie adopted brother.

I also ordered my mom's gravestone. Sigh.

Tomorrow is the class party in my younger son's class. I'm the room parent in there. In the olden days I'd have been the room mother, but now I'm the room parent. Although I don't think there are any room fathers. But semantics are everything.

My grandmother-in-law's 95th birthday in a few weeks. I'm debating sending flowers. I'm afraid everyone will send them. And then she'll complain that it looks like a funeral in her room. She might as well be dead for all the flowers. Yes, I can hear it now.

On the other hand, she lives across the country in small quarters. What ELSE can I get her?

If I ever____________, just shoot me.

Get THAT fat....you know what I mean.
Start complaining that no one ever comes to see me.
Only hold conversations about medical ailments.
Get so cheap I'd cheat someone.
Wear plaids and polka dots or stripes....and it's not Halloween.
Talk so loud people in the next state can hear me because I can't hear me.
Decide to wear a thong bathing suit.
Change my mind more than twice at McDonald's.
Drive 25 mph in a 45 zone.


I'll think of more, I'm sure....just give me a minute....
