So it turns out I update facebook and forget about my blogs. If anyone still checks this, sorry!!

Sometimes I get obsessed with stuff. Mostly television, but also other things. Pie, for example. Currently I'm obsessed with Stargate Universe and the pairing of Chloe/Rush. I forgot what it's like to get in on the ground floor of a fandom, and I hate that there isnt much out there for it. When I got into Harry Potter, Buffy, Xena, they were all well established and it took me a while to run out of stuff. I find myself repeatedly clicking on certain websites to see if things have been updated and watching Space and Divided like it was my job. That's all. Just wanted to share. ;-)

So, my life is pretty boring right now. Get up, Get Nora up, go to work, get Nora, have dinner, play, read a book, Nora to bed, watch TV, go to bed, lather, rinse, repeat. We did have Daina up for the weekend, which was fun. She brought Dr. Mario for my old school nintendo, which is totally awesome. Nora is totally smart and awesome. She knows her left from her right, which is great! And when we went to ren fest a few weeks ago, I had a bee touch my face. I exclaimed "f***ing bee!" and Nora said "no mommy, it's a honey bee!" which was totally awesome!

Now I just need to do Christmas shopping without my Christmas bonus from FDA, which will suck.

I dont update very often anymore. Facebook is sadly too easy to do and fun b/c I can see what other people are up to! Also, my life is pretty boring. Although we are getting ready to start doing more on our weekends starting the weekend after next with the MO State fair, then down to Wichita for a weekend, then in Sept we have my high school reunion, the KS state fair, and also starting in Sept is the Renaissance Festival, which we will most likely attend at least once.

Currently our life is just arranged around a cute toddler, who does sometimes say adorable things. Like telling Audrey yesterday that she has a lovely baby. hee.

And that's about it, since it's time for me to get her up from her nap.

Not much new. I went to see Star Trek and Wolverine last week and Angels and Demons and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past this week, the most movies I've seen in a long time. I love seeing movies and I forgot how much I missed it! I got too spoiled at the Warren. :-)

And that's pretty much all that's new with me. I'm super excited about Dollhouse being renewed, even if only for 13 episodes. I am also totally ready to see the final three episodes of Pushing Daisies, whenever ABC decides to air them, which I hope is soon.

My aunt is coming to visit next weekend, which should be fun. I found out that there are apparently graves behind the building where I work, the couple that used to own the land are allegedly buried back there, so I want to check that out.

Nora now has enough hair for pigtails, which is totally cute. :-) Also, she's told me spontaniously that she loves me and that I'm her best friend this week, so that was nice to hear. :-)

I need something new to read, so if anyone can recommend something good, I'd appreciate it. I've been into supernatural romances or mysteries lately, but I also dont turn down a good biography or really much of anything if it's interesting.

So, my boss talked to the other girls that I work with, and they're willing to give up enough hours to keep me on at least 4 days a week. Yay! I can probably afford that, and have an extra day for Nora!

Unfortunately, today when I went to take her to daycare, I didnt realize that I'd pulled crookedly into the garage and off went my driver's side mirror! Poop! It seems a mechanic nearby can get me a used one for under 200, which will be good, as I cant afford much more than that. What a dope. :-)

While I havent been let go again, I've been told that I'm awesome, but my boss cant afford me for 5 days a week, only 3. I cant afford to only work 3 days a week and pay all my bills. Suck!!!

On the upside, the staffing firm that found me my current job thinks they might have another part time position for me. Maybe I can make up the difference? Who knows, but if you pray, pray that I can get enough hours to pay all my bills and keep out of bankruptcy. We were going to have the house painted, as it desperately needs it, but that's a good chunk of our savings. :-(

I'm not sure I should be so excited by the Highlander marathon that Sci-Fi is having on Thursday, but I super cant wait. I need my Duncan McLeod of the clan McLeod fix!!! Why wont any channel rerun this show on a regular basis? There is always plenty of crap on, but the good stuff, Highlander, Hercules, Xena, those I never catch anymore. Maybe I should break down and start buying them....Highlander used to rerun on Spike TV all the time, with it's "television for men" ads, which, hello, chicks watch Highlander too! I'd even bet that more chicks watch Highlander than guys....although that could be why Spike quit running it....hmmm....

Also, I'm super into the Sookie Stackhouse books right now. It's like Stephanie Plum meets Anita Blake, with a lot less slutting around than Anita does. But fun, like Stephanie. And I feel worse for Sookie when she gets hurt than I ever do for Anita. Anywho, that's what I've been doing. I go through jags where I find a new series, then get obsessed and have to read them all. (I have one more sookie book that's already out. I couldnt get Club Dead from the library for awhile, so I drove to 2 bookstores to try to find it....it's the only one I own. hee.)

Anyone have any good book suggestions for me? Otherwise I'm just OD'ing on Charlaine Harris over here. I'm currently on Grave Surprise, the second in her series about a chick who got struck by lightening and now can find dead bodies and tell what they died of, but not who killed them if they were murdered. I like it.

In reality news, my baby is potty training, which is totally hard on me. Mostly she just wants to sit on the potty, and then wipe and go. If we try to make her sit there until something happens, she throws a huge fit. So we hear "I need go potty!" and then "I done!" as soon as she's sat on the potty. Also "I need my sticker!" no matter whether she's done anything or not, although I only give stickers if she poops, I dont know what Clare does. And she's hugely smart, which could be part of her problem, as she is trying to manipulate us. She knows who the parent is who will give in most (me) so she comes to me for things, like crackers or juice, when she either thinks Daddy will say no, or he already has. And she knows what going to the Walmart means, and gets super excited, even though it usually means groceries and we very rarely buy her anything there. (we got a wonder pets book a few weeks ago b/c it was 3 bucks, but that's the only thing I can think of in a long time) Also, we went to Long John Silvers on Friday and as we were leaving she waved at the building, and said "bye, Dinner, see you later crocodile!" hee.

It's also been hard with my new job's hours. Staying an extra half hour at night really throws off our nighttime routine. It used to be dinner about 5:30 and then play time from about 6-7. Now it's practically 7 by the time we're done then it's bed time. total suckage.

We took her to the zoo the weekend before last in a little summer dress. How did the weather go from summer dress weather to snow in one week? Yuck.

So, we were at Cracker Barrel on Saturday with a friend and Nora didnt want her chicken fingers. So I got out the vienna sausages (I know, I'm a terrible mother, right?) and made brad open them b/c i cant stand the smell. He ended up cutting his finger, but the only bandaid I had was a huge one from when Nora cracked open the back of her head a long time ago. But in the parking lot, in one of the little green areas in the middle, was an unopened bandaid, still good, still in an unripped or stained package. A present from God? Maybe not, but it was definately needed. :-)

So, I heard they were making a new Clue movie. And it made me mad. What could be more awesome than the original Clue movie? And then I heard this:

Some a-holes in Hollywood want to remake The NeverEnding Story! Are they f-ing kidding me? The Neverending Story may have had some bad special effects compared to now, but it is one of my fav movies of all times. I teared up just a minute ago thinking of the giant Rock guy and his "big, strong hands." Seriously! No movie nowadays is going to give me that kind of emotion. I would never see a remake of the Neverending Story, no matter who starred in it. I mean, what's next? The Princess Bride? I seriously didnt realize I could get this mad about something that should be silly, but I am pretty steamed about this.
