Good morning!

[mugglechump]

Sometimes if I get up earlier than I usually do, I go through a period of being ridiculously, painfully hungry. If I don't eat anything it will go away after a little while, but it's uncomfortable. I don't know why getting up early would affect my body's need for food, though. I don't usually eat until around 10:00, when I generally have a yogurt at work.

Poor Mer. Today was Twisted Tuesday at school, one of those school spirit days when you're supposed to dress funny. At Mer's old school these sorts of things were very popular. School spirit was a big deal and a large portion of the student body participated. Not so at the new school. We pulled up and Mer's eyes got wide. "Why isn't anyone else dressed wacky?" After seeing one other girl (out of, say, 40 students walking by) and being assured that there was not time to go home and change, she finally got out of the car.

Can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but the issue with my car is not the battery. It's the starter, apparently. I need to call my BIL's friend from church and see if he can fix it for me, along with the turn signal on Mer's car, which is (pardon the pun) on the blink. Blink blink bbbbbbbllllllliiiiiinnnnnnkkkkkk nothing nothing nothing blink nothing nothing bbblliinnnkk.

Also, Mer had a good time at the team camp out. Apparently it was cold, though. Who would've guessed? *snicker* The back window of her car now says '88 Red', which is her team's official league name. Some of the girls decided to paint other girl's car windows while they were sleeping. The paint is yellow, which amuses me a little since we are a 'red' team. We used to be the Phoenix, but then LYSA named all the teams by year and 'red' or 'white'. I'm not sure why we're '88. Our division is U18, which means the girls can't have been born prior to a certain day in 1989. Who am I to argue with the geniuses at LYSA, though?

Why no, I'm not procrastinating. Why do you ask? *cough*

Dawn, a girl with whom I work, brought in her baby yesterday. Jack is five weeks younger than Gracie, but since she was early and is just tiny in general, he's bigger than she is by a couple pounds and inches. He's the cutest little guy. He's just started giggling and he has this cute little one-sided smile that makes me want to call him Draco.

I get to see Gracie this weekend! Becky and Manny are bringing her out so we can call celebrate my BIL's birthday. James will be out, too. Mer has homecoming, so she won't be around. That means I just have to wrestle the baby from my niece so I can get some Aunt Kate/Grayson time in.

I got mail from rainpuddle13! But, Cyn, my computer won't recognize anything on the DVD. :( It thinks it's blank - won't even give me an option other than writing to it. :( :(

There is a new, really cool expansion pack out for Sims 2, but it has a lot of bugs and I had to uninstall it. There's a patch, but it didn't fix the issues I'm having and the issues are pretty major. I'm bummed and I think I'll send a little note to EA Games asking about when they plan to fix this and how it got released with these kinds of problems. Visitors not being able to leave the lot is a big deal. Not only does it get crowded, but I seriously had about 20 newspapers on my Sims' lawn because the paper boy kept laying them down. Another family got stuck on vacation and couldn't check in or go home. When you're shelling out $30 for an expansion pack, it ought to freaking work.

Oh! caliga_rpg is approaching D/Gness! *SQUEE* What will happen at Draco's first appointment for his scar? Will sparks fly from somewhere other than Ginny's wand? Watch the community and see. God, I'm so corny!

*sigh* Well, I'd better get in the shower and go to work. In sequence, not concurrently. Hope you all have a great day!

Aaaww, Mer. *huggles her* But she seems to have just walked in and made herself comfy, huh? Not too much of an adjustment period there. That's good. :)

Baby time! YAY! They smell SO good and are just SO sweet! aaaahhhh. *big smile*

*huggles you* When you get time, go see what Eli-Joy has been up to. X)

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

No, not much adjustment. Mer loves her new school. I'm glad (and so is she, I think) that I decided to make her go.

I did look at that post, I'm just not caught up with comments yet. *sigh* Busy, busy, busy these days. Eli-Joy is just getting cuter and cuter. Is she ever not happy? She smiles like the world is all hers.

I totally understand, Lovey. Me of all people, fer sher. My knee has been a real pain in the rectal. *sigh* I just wanted to make sure that you saw where they had sent you special love and hugs. ;)

*huggles tight* I've also been thinking, too, Katie...do I need to go ahead and send you some money for that project of mine? Is it getting costly? I want to know, K? ♥♥

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

No, don't send anything yet. I've had an image or two that have not wanted to format properly, so I won't know until I get through them how much paper I'll be using. Besides, as long as it's taking me to do I ought to just give them to you.

[heyurs.livejournal.com]

*big ol' grin* You're so precious! *loves you tight*

Well, just let me know. ♥

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Well, crap. I'll see if I can't record another one and see if that works. Sorry about that *frowny face*

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong. I've only ever played with DVDs that have movies on them. I still think you're the awesomest.

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

We use DVDs all the time for storing data. I think the problem might have been the drop and drag option rather than going through Roxio. I will fix it I promise. There was 1.3GB of music on there.

Caliga is starting to get to the D/G goodness! I get all excited just thinking about it! *squee!*

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Me too! They are coming along quite nicely.

Which expansion pack is it? Vacation? I'd like to not purchase it, in that case. Or rather, I'll tell my friend not to purchase it, since what really happens is she buys the games, then I install the ones she doesn't need to run the game anymore (thus I am always at least one behind).

But, grrr... caliga. I went away for the weekend, and now I'm about 50 entries behind. I guess that's what summaries are for, eh?

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it Bon Voyage - the vacation one. It really stinks because the whole premise is pretty nifty. Hopefully EA Games will get it sorted out soon.

[lyndsiefenele.livejournal.com]

The one for the Sims 1 was kind of pointlessly stats-draining, but I haven't read the details on the new one. It's probably the closest I'll get to a tropical paradise for a while, though...

[castoffstarter.livejournal.com]

Dude, I get the same exact way! Seriously! When I have class and wake up earlier than 6am, I'm always starving for a good half hour and it freaking hurts!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I does. Woe for the early morning food pangs!

[cliodnahpfan.livejournal.com]

Hey, did the cds I sent you work okay? I made another one and it's not working, so I'm kinda worried yours didn't work. =(

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

Yes, they both work. I'm listening to one right now!
