I'm sure all of you have MUCH more interesting lives than I do.

[Shine]

Me?

Slept in til 11am.

Brunch w/ the family.

Matinee of "Night at the Museum: 2" w/ daughter.

Now I'm veggin' at the homestead, surfin' the net....

Yup, non-stop thrills 'round here.

:eyes:

[Strong Atheist]

1. Thrills are over-rated. nt.

[Haole Girl]

2. Don't bet on it!

Nobody even commented on my last thread. That's how exciting I am. :-(

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Dude. I haven't showered in two days.

:rofl:

Great to see you, my friend. Missed you.

[auntAgonist]

4. Sounds wonderful AND interesting to me..

:hug: :hi: :hug:

5. Me:

Woke up having a panic attack. Went back to "sleep" for an hour. Got up, called my husband. Checked the weather and said "Oh fuck!"...Thunderstorms on the way. Packed up like crazy, 2.5 hours later, back home, after driving through a storm. Sun is shining. Took a long shower, changed. Got a foot rub. Watched tv with Sniffa all night, and now we're ordering pizza. I'm also spinning yarn.

I like non-exciting. Much less stressful than my parents' house, lately.

:hi:

[siligut]

9. Do you take Benadryl by any chance?

The reason I ask is because I was waking up with night terrors and it turned out that they were caused by the Benadryl I was taking for sleep.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. No, just under a hell of a lot of stress

I won't go into detail, but my life is about 2/3rds SUCK right now. Family crap, etc. I'm a freaking basket case, on the inside. Lucky for me, I can hide it. :D

[siligut]

12. Panic attacks just plain suck.

I know of some of the things you have posted on the board. :hug:

[Lavender Brown]

23. Wow

I've been taking Benadryl (the nighttime kind) for the past few days because of horrendous allergies and I've been having the most bizarre, scary dreams. :scared: Guess I need to find something else.

[siligut]

25. Have you tried Claritin or something else yet?

Scary dreams, night terrors, and I was always told Benadryl was so safe. My MD didn't know about the weird mental stuff either.

I wonder how many people never realize this side effect. I smacked poor Mr. Gut across the face during a night terror and had bruises on my arms from him trying to control me.

[Shine]

16. Sorry about all the stress.

panic attacks are rough, glad you're hangin' in there.

:hi: :hug:

[tigereye]

6. hey lady, how you been!

Long time no see! How's school and stuff?


Sleeping in should never be underestimated as a perk for any parent. :)

[Shine]

17. School's good. Been working harder than I've worked in years

but I'm getting a break this w/e, so having fun hangin' in the lounge for a bit.

Good to see you too, sweetie! :pals: :hug: :loveya:

and you're right about the sleeping in. A rare treat, indeed.

:hi:

[tigereye]

37. Glad things are going well!

:hug: :pals:


It's been a busy week-end here, seeing old friends (yay!), kiddo at various events, a nice garden party some friends held. And gardening! The roses are in good shape and beautifully full. My wisteria is done, I planted a trumpet vine, and I have an azeala and a butterfly bush to put in. I love vines- can't get enough of em!

[skygazer]

7. Most of my life has been "interesting"

I'm enjoying "boring" now.

I didn't want to kick my horse thread to reply to your questions but yep, still in school, still loving it, still looking toward law school. Actually, I was just awarded 2 scholarships which will help. :hi:

[Shine]

15. Yay!

:applause: :yourock:

Kudos and congrats to you. :hi:

[Mike 03]

8. That sounds like "sanity" to me.

I would change places with you in a second.

[alarimer]

11. Well that doesn't sound too bad.

I went kayaking today with a friend. It was his first time kayaking and we rented one and hauled mine out there. Other than the beach traffic it was a great day.

[DeepBlueC]

13. sounds heavenly to me

Slept till almost ten when I woke up to see the tuxedo up in my sleeping loft. I shooed him off but not swiftly enough to prevent him from leaving a little possessive deposit of urine on my duvet and the quilt. No leisurely waking, I was immediately tearing at the bed coverings to get them off before the piss penetrated through to the mattress(I succeeded). Then it was laundry and a hands and knees search of the room below the loft to find out where the hell the urine smell was coming from. A cat scratcher/hidey cylinder went out to the garbage, then I continued crawling around nose first (cause I could still smell it)till I found my dresser was contaminated. I saw no stain on the wood but I did find crusts of urine between the bottom drawer and the frame which I worked at with Nature's Miracle, cloths, fingernails, nail file. I took out all the lower drawers to check, just to be sure. I crawled the rtest of the room and treated pretty much everything at the height of a cat's ass just in case. This is my Christmas rescue, a cat who has severely challenged my generous spirit and caused me endless labor and expense. All day it seems it was feeding the 5 cats, washing their dishes, dispensing treats, keeping them from climbing into baskets of clean laundry, refereeing fights with the neighbor cats who loves me but hates competition.

I meant to finish up the design for my garden and go to the nursery for more plants. As it was I had to put barriers over areas ready for bedding that were very attractive as potential litter boxes.

I wish I had got up an hour later, alone, and spent the day watching HGTV. In a clean house. That would have been interesting enough for me.

[Shine]

14. I'm so sorry.

cat piss is like nuclear waste. :(

[DeepBlueC]

27. now I know why a smart socialized cat was living on the street

His former owners probably moved in the middle of the night. I thought I had impressed on him that urine marking is unacceptable. I thought I had succeeded. I was so proud. Of course what he has learned is not to get caught. But my bed?!!!! And not for the first time either. I'm totally PWNED.

[ghostsofgiants]

18. I got up at noon, then went to work, then came home.

You're day was much more interesting than mine.

[SeattleGirl]

19. I think days like that are great!

Besides, "much more interesting" doesn't necessarily translate into "much more better". :)

[abq e streeter]

20. Sleeping late, a family meal, and a movie with your daughter, huh?

followed by chillin out at home. Sounds like a great life. It would be an absolute thrill for me to have had a day like yours, and a family including a child, to share it with. I know you were being humorous, but it sounds like your life is blessed, and I suspect that you know that very well. Congratulations on having a wonderful, "thrill-free" day.

[Shine]

29. Thank you.

and you're right, I do know I am blessed, indeed.

:toast:

[Lorien]

36. Agreed. Sounds downright blissful to me too. nt

[Kali]

21. Hi there.

I don't recognize everybody and after the name changes it is even worse, but I recognize yours and your avatar. Don't you ride bikes long distance? You haven't been around much - welcome back!:hi:

[Shine]

28. Yup, nice to be remembered.

I haven't been around much lately due to the fact I'm in two year masters program in counseling psychology. Started last fall.

Not cycling much either. :D I'm waaaay outa training shape these days.

I'm working my mental muscles instead.

:hi: Kali! Nice to see you!

[emilyg]

22. Slept in

till 1:30 - dinner with daughter and grandsons. Won $290 on lottery. Fed cats. Here I am. Good day.

[siligut]

26. Great about the lottery win.

Sounds like a good day.

[Shine]

31. Congrats!

:toast: you're a winner even if you don't get money, but the money's nice too. :D

[emilyg]

32. Ty

:hug:

[AlCzervik]

24. Hi Shine! Good to see you. I woke up at 7 am, made the coffee, fed the beasty

got the papers off the front porch, sorted out the sections i wanted, read them and drank coffee, did laundry, went to kickboxing and then went to the coffee shop, gave a guy $2 and 2 cigarettes and then he followed me inside and decided i was going to be his new bff, that was a little scary. Went home and took another shower and then went to the supermarket, came home and put the stuff away, fed the beast again, fed my daughter and then we watched Slumdog millionaire.

[carlyhippy]

30. My life is boring compared to the noise in my neighborhood right now

graduation weekend, Memorial Day weekend, there are some serious parties going on somewhere in my neighborhood, loud loud partying going on. As for me, I am surfin the net while watching "the other Boleyn girl" on TV.....

[OmahaBlueDog]

33. We saw Night at the Museum 2 last night and slept in until 10

I went to Home Depot, gardened, and ....(wait for it) ....did work at home while watching a movie.

I liked NATM2. it requires suspending a LOT of disbelief, but it's fun. The OBD kids and Mrs. OBD liked it. My 5 year old daughter keeps doing the Thinker-statue-muscle flex scene and yelling "check out this gun show -- firepower" at random moments all day today.

[Lucian]

34. At least you have people to hang out with.

:(

[Lorien]

35. You'd be wrong

slept in much too late because I couldn't fall asleep until 4am.

Got up and cleaned for three hours

Ran an errand

Did laundry

worked until 1:40 am

Spent the last hour catching up on the news online.

Will do the same every day for the rest of the week, save the laundry and two extra hours of housework. That only happens on weekends.

Having brunch with a family would be an event!

[old mark]

38. Without any doubt whatsoever....nt

[seemunkee]

39. Hi Shine

:hi:
Not every day can be thrills and chills. Sounds like a good day to me.
