*Auch* 'tis a shame, it is. I've been trying to think of a name for fuzzy too, just for the challenge--and 'cuz fuzzy deserves a proper St. Paddy's Day nickname.

Everyone's talking about Inkheart on the books topic, which I've never even heard of. >:(
Frankly, I'm shocked. But, even more frankly, I'm always shocked.

New England funk. I'm in one, apparently. I just can't fall asleep! Insomnia for the past two weeks is really annoying me. It's 2am and I feel like watching another movie or something 'cuz the sandman is AWOL. And it's messing me up. *sobs*

*grins* Well, at least I was able to sleep 'til 10 because it is the weekend! But it sure stinks to have insomnia on a regular basis during the week. :P

I dreamt I spent a week at a beach house with my inlaws. Which isn't actually so bad, and the long walks through the sand with my daughter were even fun if exhausting. Until it was time to leave and we had forgotten to grab my bag before we left. So I had to run back to the house while they gassed up the gigantic truck we had and fight off the holographic watch dog and find out that NONE of my family's stuff had been loaded, so I had to haul it all outside and throw it in the truck.

Then we were driving home and we started going uphill. A very steep hill. And I had to push it uphill.

Then I was assigned to fight my way through 30 liches to end the quest. Only the liches sent a huge pack of worgs to soften me up first (which was dumb, because 1 chain lightning and 1 horrid wilting later I'd killed them all). Then I had to pummel them to dust with only my hands.

I woke up very sore.

Grrrr. Its only three and already its dark enough to look like six. It wouldn't be so bad if it were raining, which I like (I don't get how it depresses people) but it isn't and even if it were it would only be a shower. It should be sunny! Or better yet raining in droves.

Oh wait, scratch that, it just started showering.  :(

We're planning on putting up the house for sale in a month or so. In the hopes of not having to use a realtor, we're going the 'for sale by owner' route and have been putting the word out.

So, this afternoon, someone calls to look at the house (the wife of my husband's co-worker). It's about 1pm and I had done absolutely no cleaning before that point, having run errands instead of cleaning. One errand involved picking up the on-hold DVDs of "Firefly" at the library, which I have never seen. As soon as we got home and ate lunch, the boys went down for a nap and I began watching the pilot.

So she calls at 1pm as she's walking up my driveway to the front door. Um, what do I say? "I know you're already here, but can you give me an hour to throw the clutter in a closet and change the rotten diapers on my children whom I've ignored for the past hour?" Well, I didn't. I let her see my tornado-thrashed house, including the bedroom I just finished painting and hadn't cleaned up yet.

Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll still be interested in the house.

Wow, that is rude. Why did she even bother calling? She should have just walked in unannounced, which apparently she probably would have done anyways.
