Selma for Prez!

First off.. there is a duck. Second there is a blog: http://www.fluentself.com/blog Third in this blog is a post: http://www.fluentself.com/blog/stuff/its-not-freaking-easy/ Fourth this blog is by a person: http://www.fluentself.com/about/ I'm taking a moment to say wow-freakin-cool. This is the kind of person that when I read about them I wish dearly we went to the same shops so we could be friends. SHE HAS A FREAKIN DUCK. Me and Wulfa could ya know have dinner with her and Orclette could play with Selma and we'd be great buddies. Mostly I'm simply awestruck by Selma. And the fact that Havi has her. Yeah I know this isn't very WoW-like or a normal link for me but the essence of her site ...uhm... resonated with me(Resonated was borrowed from her post about pricing because my vocab failed me briefly). In the very short time that I've known about this duck and her person I've well been struck with a fanboyish desire to tell everyone and find out more.

That Meme thing.

I was tagged by Game Dame , so … September 11 Attacks In the financial Aid Center at Texas A&M. I was standing in line to make a payment and wondered why everyone was crowded around the TV all of a sudden. It was about 30 min later when finally found out what was going on. It all seemed very unreal, like life had suddenly become a TV show. Challenger Shuttle Disaster I honestly have no clue. I didn't pay attention to the news until late 90's. I was 4 years old at the time which also didn't help. Hurricane Katrina In Houston, watching it rain alot. The Tsunami that hit Sri Lanka and Indonesia hit me stronger emotionally as I knew people from Sri Lanka and my church at the time sent people to assist with relief efforts but didn't know anyone from Lousiana, and it all seemed about as far away as the Georgia war last month. Reagan Assassination Attempt You know... I'm horrible with US current events... very horrible. I didn't know this had happened until

Apologies.

So Tuesday I wasn't blogging because I was freakin exausted and then was busy running errands in town. And Wednesday I was SICK. Like Death warmed over. Like roadkill mixed with a side of napalm and oh my gosh I'm dying. Seriously this was bad stuff...the world was ending. I'm CERTAIN that what I had was a rare disease that had in times past wiped out atlantis and killed all life on mars. I didn't completely die. Infact I hung in there so tenaciously that Wulfa gave me props for being helpful even when I was suffering accute and paralyzing pain of a degree previously unknown to man. Orclette cried a lot that day, seeing the state her Daddy was in. She also cried a lot because her Daddy wouldn't stand up and hold her. He would only snuggle with her while he lay DYING on the floor. Anyways... as someone somewhere once said "I got better". I made it to work today. Wulfa called me right before lunch and let me know that my shiny new axe now glows whi

Need. A. Vacation.

The Orclette was sick this weekend. She's also going through teething/separation anxiety/fussiness/won't let me out of her sight. Also experimenting with screaming. So my nerves are on edge. And then Damm got sick early this morning. And the Orclette is still fussy. At this point I want to get sick so I can lay in bed and let Damm take care of the Orclette. In another room so I can't hear the fussiness. /cry. /hide. /want to be single again.

Crazy weekend.

So its 4:35am and I've been up for an hour. I think I'll not be getting any more sleep. I was on call this weekend. Due to a special mistake by a coworker I spent 8 hours Saturday working. Due to who knows what, I spent from 3am Sunday morning till about midnight Sunday night dealing with Orclette's 102.5 fever. Last night at midnight(monday night), Orclette woke up screaming. I'm not sure if it was a nightmare or just not feeling good. She screamed until about 1:40am then she fell asleep. Roughly an hour and a half later... I got a call about another work related issue. Its resolved now but I have to make sure everything is -fully- okay. I'm thinking I'll be done in about 20 min. Then I drive back to my house and.... well I'm still debating whether or not to stay up or try and get another hour of sleep. Fun times. P.S. I got to 30 this weekend and now have a whirlwind axe. Gonna get it enchanted at somepoint after I get sleep and have a chance to pl
