I’m having a baby shower! Please visit:

Quick note today, if I’m able to write anything but a long entry. I’ll try not to talk too much about scrapbooking ;). I swear I’m obsessed with anything I’m currently "into" I’ll also try not to talk about how little sleep I got ;). Those two topics seem to be ALL I write about these days.
I never did renew my OD subscription, and we have so little cash left, I’m really wondering if I SHOULD. But when I go to leave a note, and am stuck with 200 characters to say what I want to say… and everyone who reads me KNOWS how MUCH I write (and go on!!!!) that I’m really HATING not having 2000 characters to get my notes in.
My printer ran out of ink. I can’t buy any more. Well, I CAN, sort of, but to spend 15 dollars, when there’s like 65 in the bank… I think DH would be justified in having me committed…killing me… hurting me… whatever, if I spent money on something as frivolous as ink… even though I feel like, I don’t know, I HATE being without my printer. I suppose I can, and will have to, use Jerry’s to print my journaling… assuming I’m able to. He’s always at his computer. If he had a mac, I could probably set it up so I would just send my print jobs to his printer, but he’s on a PC, so that isn’t happening.
I will quit moaning about my printer now… we have something like five…six printers in this house? I mean… I’m really being kind of narrow thinking about it. I just want MY printer to work. I THOUGHT I had more than 2 cyan and 1 black ink cartridge, but I’m not finding them anywhere if I do. I could TRY actually cleaning up in here…what a concept THAT would be.
Took Shabree to Burger King today, and got some scrapping done, and that’s all I’ll say about that, lol. I have so many pictures printed out, I could scrap for days and days actually… I just can’t computer journal anything right now… well, not from my computer. But I COULD hand-write things (got to find my pen(s) though…) I could computer journal from Jerry’s computer…heck, I COULD do the journaling on this computer, email it to him, then print it, and that wouldn’t take but 5-10 minutes to do….
Hm… perhaps I am making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be??? Ya THINK?
Okay, so I’ll live without my printer.
Jerry’s deal is looking PRETTY good. I am hopeful. It would be SO NICE to have money again. And gee, just in time to have this baby. 🙂 That would be wonderful… to actually KNOW how we’re going to pay for this. Though once again, I’m left scratching my head…"where did the money go?" A budget would be useful. But it’s just not something we DO. I hate to say how bad we are…
Enough…. I’m sure some people already have a bad enough opinion of me, no need to add fuel to THAT fire ;).
It’s almost 6 p.m. I really should go ahead and get off the computer, go feed myself (we’re doing fend for yourselves, so Shabree asked for hot dogs, and the other girls are PROBABLY eating Ramen… 12 cents a bag, I’ll let them. It’s cheap. They can afford the calories, lol)
I made a batch of brownies the other night… last batch of the box, thank goodness… brownies are my downfall. I love their moist chewiness, their chocolate-y goodness… and I never am able to stop myself from eating too many of them. So right now, brownies are all I can think of. But I’ll eat some dinner first…. I promise ;).
And with that, I guess I will actually wrap up. Har har. I’ve been having something of a conversation with another OD writer, and it’s got me thinking, but nothing really concrete, so will post all of that later. I’m REALLY not in the mood for anything thought provoking or deep right now, and I don’t know why. I’m still waiting on Linda to send me a bible, the girl who I was emailing back and forth with "dumped" me after a 3 day weekend, and she said she’d send me a bible… I’m getting flaked on all over the place. I KNEW Linda would probably find it difficult to send it to me, she’s pretty homebound with only one car and her DH having it all the time. Plus, she’s had teeth problems, and now back problems… I won’t go into it, but that woman has MORE medical issues than anyone I have ever met, I think. My dad has some issues, and takes quite a bit of pain meds too, but she is off the charts. I have my moments of wondering if she makes this stuff up for the attention, but she’d have my attention whether or not she was sick… so I doubt it. But then, maybe she doesn’t know that. I don’t know. I hate to think it, but she just has SO many issues… sometimes I wonder. I don’t care either way, honestly. She IS my friend, I’ll take her in any way shape or form. My love for her is unconditional.
Okay… really… out of here.
Our printer is out of ink too. Hubby was trying to print up a contract and I told him to take the cartridge and give it a good shake. He did and he’s gotten 4 more contracts out of it! What perfect timing to get some money pal, do you know what you are having? Your due date is coming quick!

RYNs: The reference to red was this in one of your notes. “I read today some rant from a guy in Oklahoma… here is the quote that pissed me off: Remember our freedom is not free; try to wear a red shirt on Fridays to show support for our troops.” I, too, was raised Catholic. I consider myself to be spiritual rather than religious. In one entry I referred to myself as a “Christian without buildings.” I sometimes attend church when I travel, if the church has historical or architectural significance. Or I just feel like going. I appreciate the Indian way of worshiping God in the settng He provided, among the mountains, rivers, forests and lakes. I’ll be back.
