Utter Exhaustion & Some questions

As I type this, it is only 9:35pm…and yet, I can barely see straight.

It started with a thunderstorm rolling through this morning, waking Seven up at 7:30 versus his typical 9:30. So, 2 hours shot there. Then, becuase he didn’t get enough sleep, he moaned arounf until I put him BACK in bed at 10:30. Then up again at12:30…just in time for us to start hauling things over to my parents house where we will be having a yard sale at 7:00am on Friday. I am exhausted, and it hasn’t even really started yet. Ugh.

Apparantly people, I accumulate a LOT of stuff. Imagine a whole 1 car garage filled with my stuff. Clothes. Baby items. Miscellaneous crapola. Hopefully it will sell. We are arranging to have a guy come on Saturday to carry away anything that hasn’t sold…the worst thing about yard sales is figuring out what to do with all of the crap still left sitting. So at the very least it won’t be coming back to MY house.

I could probably post a recipe here for you today, but I think I am going to skip a day. You’ll still love me, right? I hope so…Promise to be back on Saturday with something yummy for you.

What I have for you now are some questions. Things I have been tweeting about but not everyone Tweets so here you go:

Does anyone watch Glee? I think they only did the one episode so far, but do you like it? Personally, I do. I thought it was cute and well done.

Does anyone shop at Rue La La? I Tweeted about them yesterday, and they act like they want to get in touch with me about my negative tweet…but I have yet to hear from them officially via email. Just wondered if anyone else had an experience with them.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. Anyone have an opinion on it? I ordered it for myself, mostly because of the movie hype going on, but would like to hear what user of the book have to say about it. For that matter, has anyone seen the movie? I heard the book was icky – but Meryl Streep looks like she might pull it off.

I doubt anyone knows more than me about this, but…Antigone Lost. The Blog. I followed her for quite a while, waited for her son to be born healthy, waited for her to pass the LSAT, waited for her divorce to be final…and then she dropped off the face of the Earth. Anyone have a cloe what happened? Is she blogging elsewhere? I would love to know.

Three Movies. I have squeezed in the time to watch 3 movies in like, 3 weeks, and all of them were major suckage. Were they beyond my intelligence, or did they just suck? Opinions? They were –

9 1/2 Weeks, yes, that old movie with Kim Basinger. What the snot? That movie had no point whatsoever, unless I fell asleep and missed something majorly important.

Also, the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (this movie might not have been so bad if Brad had been partially nude for the duration of the picture, but that was not to be…he just seemed like a combo of his 12 Monkeys Character and Tyler Durden. Snoozefest)

And third – No Country for Old Men. Bawk if you must, but I just did.not.like. this.movie. Come on! You led me through all of that just to ring me to an anti-climatical ending? Whatever.

Thoughts? Enough rambling…time to talk Raid.

Day 16 Rundown: Spent Zero.

Breakfast: Seven had a Yogurt, some berries and a piece of Bologna. Jon & I skipped breakfast.

Lunch: Jon packed his lunch. He had a can of tuna mixed with a cup of instant Velveeta Shells & Cheese, a fruit cup, and 2 packs of those snack crackers I bought on Monday. Seven had a hot dog, a piece of milk bread, and leftover green beans. I had a piece of buttered Milk Bread and a sliver of leftover brownie.

Dinner: Seven stayed over at my parents, so they fed him. I ate apack of Bundino’s from the freezer (there’s a reason they were on clearance, and that’s the truth) and Jon ate a frozen pizza. It was a long day and a long night, we just scrounged up what we could.

12 Days to Go, $66.15 left to spend.
