So many August babies

Well I guess I only have a few things to say:

One, welcome the hell back Milky!!!!! I can’t tell you how much that brightened my day when James told me you were back. LOVE. For anyone who hasn’t already, check out her art cause she’s always been one of my fav artists and the nicest of people. Double win. Seriously, I love this woman.

Two, Happy Birthday all you August babies I missed!! I know I should be more active on here if I’m gonna keep the account right?

Anyway, happy late birthday TimeChaser (er close enough to August), Flint, James, Hiko, Mimminx, Yamchaa, and now Enin for September! Wow, why are most of the people I know on theO born in August?

Flint you sexy thing, where have you been? Anyone know?

And lastly, I really miss my Kitty. I think she has moved on and grown past the need to come to me with her troubles… or just to fangirl and be nerds together. And that makes me very sad. I can’t even express how much I’ve missed her in my life for a while now. My sunshine and my shoulder to cry on. It makes me feel like a very important part of my life is up and gone. So, if you happen to wander by and see this, I miss you.

Okay, I’ll stop emo-ing now. Happy b-day poppets and I hope you enjoyed your month.

Stay safe!

I definitely feel for any New Yorker’s out there trying to evacuate, that has to be a mess.

Irene will pass by here tomorrow evening into late tomorrow night.

Stay safe all those in Irene’s path and take care of yourselves.

Leonard Nimoy!

What is up with the tornadoes and storms ripping the US a new one? We just got hammered here again this evening.

Anyway, I apologize for not getting around to people’s sites recently. I’ve been working 6 out of 7 days a week for a long time now, and it’s pretty much all I can do to keep up.

So to cheer myself and anyone else up. A video! Most of you have probably seen this Bruno Mars music video already, but if you haven’t watch it! If you have, watch it again! Because it has Leonard Nimoy and he is a God among men. All hail the church of Nimoy! He looks great for being 80 doesn’t he?

The greatest tribute to laziness ever.

Wind, wind, and more wind

Oh yay, night 2 of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes touching down around us. You can actually feel the 3rd floor I'm on swaying a little bit in the wind.

The Wide World of 30

I was talking to Molly-chan about this earlier. Physically I still feel like I’m forever 25 or something. But wow did turning 30 hit me mentally. It makes me feel like I have to pack in my partying nights and high heeled sandals for knitted sweaters and pudding, so that I can sit around and complain about the cold when its 80 outside.

Okay maybe not so extreme, but one big difference I noticed, and I don’t even know when it happened… is when did teenagers become kids to me??? They used to just be younger, and well not quit as hip as collage age, but now I can look at a 17 year old and think how young they are.

When did I grow up without realize it? How does that happen?

Other than that, life has been pretty good for me lately. Nothing significant has happened, but nothing incredibly bad. Christmas is over, thank goodness, cause we know how much I despise that holiday. The only thing really going on is I have been on a cooking kick lately. I am making all kinds of dishes from scratch and enjoying it. The hubby certainly hasn’t minded eating them either, let me tell you lol.

Another symptom of being 30 now? Maybe.

Tip poppets: Don’t buy junk food because then you EAT it. As I’m guiltily enjoying my cherry coke, dammit.
