So busy. So much piling up around me. And for some weird reason, I'm all paranoid about LJ, and my lack of participation/reading/commenting. Which is ridonkulous. I mean, it's LJ. But I never said I was right in my head. So. I haven't read much. Haven't commented much. I'm keeping up with the basics. I'm probably not going to be around much this week, either. In good news: less spam on your flist, hurrah! (Also, sorry for not taking your call, Lynne! Weekends are hyper-family time as Mr. S is gearing up for an overseas 3 week trip + new doggie training. Sorry!)
In the interim, here are some fun links:
Quickly, congrats to
cherusha on your new job in *sob* Shanghai! This just means I have someone to visit when I finally get to go, right? *grabby hands* And congrats to grammar_glamour on the new car! (I still want to call you Mantypants. Because... pants!)
Back to the grindstone, which consists of Dr. visits, vet trips, hopefully writing more (didn't write ONE. WORD. this weekend. Bah.), cleaning my house, maybe getting decorations up, learning a new language. I think I'll give myself a pass on that last one. (But Farsi! How cool would it be to know Farsi? Or Cantonese? Or Russian? Mr. S is fluent in Hungarian... maybe I could learn that? До следующего раза, друзья!)
In the interim, here are some fun links:
- Walt Disney: The Story of Menstruation (I thought this was a joke at first. I like how keeping yourself pretty and "even tempered" will help on those days.) This is almost as good a tool as the Deutsch Where Babies Come From - seriously: good teaching tools!
- As always, Mahjongg!
- An old post of mine to help us all prepare for upcoming holiday parties: How To Talk Taboo and How To Talk To 'People'

Also, doggie!
I am full of exclamations today!
Doggie! She's whimpering and checking the house for the missing "pups." Oh, so confuserating when we leave together for a walk, then nada upon return.
I am good with exclamations! That translates into joy! And now, I shower, huzzah!
Seriously, don't sweat it. I know how life can take over! I'll try you again on a weekday, maybe while Mr. S. is away.
Hope the new doggie is doing great! *hugs her*
P.S. I am impressed that you know what Farsi is. One of my pet peeves is when news broadcasters refer to "Iranians" as "Arabs." They should know better. Grrr.
And there's a large Persian society here (one of my former co-workers was Persian and I miss his wife's cooking, YUM) so it would be fun to know how to speak it! And yeah - newscasters who can't be bothered to GOOGLE? Gah.
Wow. That Disney film was something else. I loved the suggestion to be happy and upbeat, to not let yourself get depressed. Clearly animated girls don't have wacky hormones.
And powdering your nose makes the soul-crushing cramps go away! o_O
Julia, it's good to have a goal, no?
As evidenced by the timestamp on this comment. >.
So, don't worry, we're all slightly nuts these days. But of course, you're our craziest wee one. And we like it that way.
So good to see I'm not the only one. Susi, I don't even have my decorations OUT, let alone up!! (I'm notorious for getting them up the day after Thanksgiving.) And cards? Riiiiiiight. I'm lucky to remember dr. appointments, let alone get things mailed in a timely manner...
♥ to you!
Thanks for that, it was amusing, :)
And laughed at the girl putting powder on her nose to help her get through those days.
I'm all about the skimming and bookmarking fic, too. WHERE IS ALL THE TIME I USED TO HAVE??
Mr. S won't be leaving until after christmas, so that's nice. (And there's a chance the company will fly me out for a visit, which would be AWESOME. My choices would be Australia or Switzerland, depending on which place he is/when I can get my in-laws to watch the kids) His work schedule's been much longer lately - only home on Saturday and half of Sunday for the past few weeks, so the spare time we get on the weekends is all dad-lovin' time. This just means I'm dealing with ALL of the minutiae instead of only half...
No worries, take it easy, we'll just languish here withotu you for a little while. ;)
I will be perusing your videos when I am not at work. Because if I peruse while at work, I gets in so much of teh trubble, o-meh-gad.
Cheers!
O-meh-gad made me giggle everytime I thought of it yesterday, hahahaha.
"To be organized!"
Oooooooooookay. I did not care for the animated baby's tooth, I will say. o_0
