Feeling Worried
Hearing Rod Stewart  " Infatuation"

Upon unpacking boxes and getting settled into our new house , I have come to the conclusion that I have a serious serious problem ....so serious I may in fact be in need of some sort of intervention .

I am addicted to throw pillows. This is not an overstatement . I dont just" like them a whole bunch" , or " enjoy them quite a bit". I'm a throw pillow JUNKIE . They are like soft, cushy , fabric covered heroin .

ADDICTED!!!!!

I have exactly 27 throw pillows in my home . Ethnic , beaded , velvet , silk , embroidered , chenille , satin ...and even leather.

I am pretty sure this is not normal .

What's even worse is that EVERY time I am in any manner of home decor store I am IMMEDIATELY drawn to the pillows.

It's like they call to me .." Erin .....look!!!!  I have peacock fetahers !! You dont have any peacock feather pillows . I would look fantastic on the little black chair at the end of the hallway . Buyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Meeeeeeeeeeeee."

And the stores themselves don't help the situation with their " buy one get one free" offers . They're pillow pushers . Pillow Pushers I say ! Peir One , Pottery Barn , The Bombay Company ...they're all the same ! Pillows strewn about the store displays , taunting me...daring me to walk by.

But I can't.

....And now I have a Peackock feather covered pillow , rounding the number to an even 28.

Do you think "28" makes it a collection? More importaintly , do you think I could convince my husband it does ?

 

And I want it , and I need it ...I'm addicted to you,

Feeling Happy
Hearing Ozzy  "  Mamma I'm Commin' Home..."

Well ...It's been an interesting week to say the least . My mouth is now fine , and life seems to be a bit more normal  . Well ,  as normal as it  gets  for me , but still ...  :-)

My brother has just sold his condo in Miami for  double what he paid  for it , walking away with a cool $75,000 profit . Did I mention the little snot is only 25 ( and in saying " little snot ", I mean it in the most loving and prous sisterly way. )?? Lucky little poop . Smart  little poop ...but lucky nonetheless .

And speaking of real estate ventures . I  am hoping to  have some pictures of our new home ( or at least what there is of it ) , up here on my journal soon....possibly even tonight .  We were  had some delays of several weeks where absolutely NOTHING was going on with it , but now they have started the insultaion and have insatlled the bathtubs and commodes in the bathrooms . The insulation gives the impression of actual walls , which just blows my mind because now the house  and the rooms look even BIGGER if you can imagine that . For some reason I have quite a hard time visulaizing room size and  actual natural sunlight dispersion  with just the framing  .  Now that I can see exactly what it's gonna look like it feels so much more real ( for lack of a better description...).

I'm a grown up ....how scary is that ??!!!!

Feeling Surprised
Hearing Muzack at work ....

 Although my previou pot only hs several actual comments , I must say I was surprised to wake up nd find 17 emails in my inbox...all advising me to  seek damages .

First off , I appreciate your concern . Thanks .

Secondly....although I was injured , it was because of MY doing . The waitress asked if I needed more hot water ...I nodded . Plain and simple . It is MY OWN FAULT that I forgot the prior exchange , and  as such only I am to blame .  I am most definately not won to sue t the drop of hat , especially when it was my own stupidity/ sleepiness that caused the incident to begin with .

I'm just a Dumbass ,

Feeling Frustrated
Hearing Madonna " Burnin' Up for Your Love"

 

I can't talk .

Laryngitis?? ( Nooooooooooooo...)

Strep throat ?? ( ' Fraid not ... )

Take a mouth full of atomically hot tea and scald your mouth causing second degree burns ? ( DING DING DING!!! We have a winner !!!....)

 

That's right ladies and gentelmen . NO applause necessary . You may be asking yourself " how does one DO that ?".
Lemm'e give you the play by play .

 

Trampas and I went to Perkins for breakfast early this morning . Now usually I order the two eggs breakfast with hot tea , and by and large today was no different ...aside from one minor deatail . I brought my own special snooty-snoot tea .( authors note: Some people are beer snobs , some wine. ..Me ? I'm a tea-snob . It's almost sad . You can find at least 11 varieties of whole leaf specialty tea blends in my home at any given time . Not to mention 4 different tea pots and service sets , each for specific tea needs . I know... my husband doesn't get it either. )

But I digress ...

I brough My own tea . And seeing as it was special tea Trampas decided he wanted some too . So, one pot of water and two cups . No big deal , right ? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

My downfall was that didn't do the tea math . One pot of water at Perkins yeilds approximately 2 cups of tea . This meand that ONE pot of water was not enough . Our waitress noticed this and secretly refilled the water while we were eating . ( In actulaity it wasn't so " secret" , she asked , I nodded ...but was early and I was too focused on my english muffin to comprehend .)

Now on a normal day, by the time I get the second cup of tea in the pot it has had cosiderable time to cool . But as mentioned before there was a refill , and my brain was still asleep . So as I poured my second cup ( the first out of the new pot) , and took a sizeable gulp into my mouth , my eyes got as big a saucers . I can only imagine I looked like one of those cartoons where the red rises in thier eyes , and smoke plumes from thier ears .

I spit the tea out on all over my breakfast and proceeded to jump out of my chair and grab the empty glass of coke from the table next to us ( the had just left) , and downed the remaining ice . ( Only now as I'm writing this has it hit me how disgusting that actually was ... But in times of duress we do what is necessary to survive . I remain grossed out , but unappologetic . ) I jumped in place and flapped my arms like I was leading the chicken dance at a Bar Mitzvah. I was yelping...actual yelping . No one yelps ...yet there I was . I couldnt feel my tongue , just the intense burning of napalm-like swelter in the place were it used to be . My husband tried in vain to help , but really what can you do? He took the perkins-stranger ice out of my hand and replaced it with some that was fresh . And waited ...

The bright side of the story is that I don't have to talk to people ...for about a week . The downside is that neopsporin , though helpful , tastes like poop .

 

We don't need no water , Let the MUTHA%*#$@ Burn ... ,
