Canadian Invasion!
May. 17th, 2012 11:27 pmSo, The Canadian Brother and Co. will be here some time tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. On the one hand, I am excited to see the kids and to catch up with him and the wife but on the other hand, it takes a lot out of me to have that many people up in my space, disrupting my schedule and demanding my attention 24/7 (like I don’t even get a chance to have my morning pee before people are talking to me) for five days straight.
I am nearly a month behind on my Friend’s List (I have been glancing at it but not really reading anything because writing seems to be taking up all my time) but I have decided to just let that sit until after my house-guests leave and then I will catch up on whatever I can. I think I may also have to put writing aside until after they leave, as I am generally too tired out by the time the kids go to bed to concentrate on anything. I am going to spend my downtime before bed (the only time they aren’t constantly demanding my attention) reading ‘destresser-fic’ - you know, not overly complicated but is still enjoyable and relaxes me before bed. Rec me anything?
I will do my damnedest to make sure I get my birthday post up on Wednesday, but that is all I promise until after the holiday weekend (which I will be spending sleeping).
Before I go, I have GOOD NEWS!!! My sister helped install electronic records at her office and the records people were so impressed - THEY OFFERED HER A JOB!!!! This is the perfect job for her because it will be organizing offices and records keeping and she loves to organize! I AM SUPER HAPPY FOR HER!!
Note to self: I have a funny cute therapy story to share about the new massage therapist I have been working with. He is super cute but not as cute as Cute Guy, but totally adorable and a complete geek. So, um, I was going to post it tonight but it is 11:30 and I have to go to bed now. So I just put this here to remind myself to tell you next week.
Have a good weekend, Everyone!

Thank you! She starts the new job on Tuesday.

Date: 2012-05-25 09:41 pm (UTC)Thank you for my sister!! She came in yesterday from her last day at the crappy job and started shouting, "I'm free! I'm free!" She starts the new job on Tuesday.
I ended up reading this Fallen!Cas verse that sucked me in enough that now I have to finish it! It was full of the angsty unrequited feels that I enjoy.
I have never heard of het_reccers though, so I tagged it for future het-needs.

Date: 2012-06-05 12:22 am (UTC)I agree but where would they have used her, you know. Are they making a Thor 2? Because if she isn't in that, then I will be PISSED. From everything I have read, Joss didn't have much say about who was in the movie (or who died, dammit) but maybe if he does Avengers 2 they will give him more reign (though that could also backfire terribly so maybe we don't want that).

You know in April, it was nearly 90 degrees. Now in June...we are lucky if we break 70. Memorial Weekend was pretty nice though.

Birthday dinner tomorrow night - I may even wear a dress!
no subject
Date: 2012-05-25 10:05 pm (UTC)I went through years of hating dresses, but now I love them, give me an exscuse to dress up and I will, mainly because I look 12 when I dress casual. I hope you have a wonderful meal

Date: 2012-06-07 01:38 am (UTC)Omg, are you me? That is exactly me too! When I was a teen, I always said the only time I would ever wear a dress would be if my sister got married and wanted me to be in the wedding party. And everyone was like, "What about your own wedding?" and I always said, "Nope."
But then I had a friend who wore the same size as me and we started shopping together and she dressed very nice but like a grown woman and not a teenage boy like I did, so suddenly my style started to mature. Now I lament how there aren't enough occassions to wear dresses and I have all these ones hanging in my closet that I never get to wear!
I look like I am about 14 when I dress casual. I am 34 and I have kids who are like 19/20 asking me what school I go to!

Date: 2012-06-07 02:00 am (UTC)I think shopping with friends can always be fun and they get you trying on things you'd have never picked out alone. I'm the same as you now, closet full of pretty dresses that I want more chances to wear.
I was 21 in january and months before got asked if I was old enough to see a 15 rated movie, But people are always telling me I'll love looking younger when I get older. So maybe when we're 50 will love it? lol

Everyone tells me that too but I doubt it, because I am also really short, so by the time I am 'older' I will also be shrinking. lol
I keep getting hit on by 19 year olds. Cute nice 19 year olds, but wow do I feel like a dirty old lady. It is still better than when I go shopping with my cousin's kid, who is like 15, and we get checked out by boys that are her age at the mall. I am old enough that people should think she was my daughter, but apparently they think we are just high school buddies.

Date: 2012-06-07 07:19 pm (UTC)I'm pretty short as well and already shriking I think. My ft have gone down half a size already.
I know how you feel with the young guys it's like 'oh, flattering,but now I feel like a perv'
My brothers three years older than me and he once got asked if he was my dad, which I found funny and he really didn't.

Date: 2012-06-08 01:52 am (UTC)I would make one of the ceremony and then one using the official photos and then maybe two of the dancing at the reception. I miss my awesome video program.
I keep getting shorter but also rounder in the hips, so even though I am shorter, I have to go up a size in pants! Dammit.

There is this aide at physical therapy that I am almost certain has a crush on me and he is 19 and I am 34. I just don't think he realizes that I am 34. He is so adorable but I just feel like, "Oh honey, no."

Ahahahaha That is funny. My sister is five years older than me and we get that all the time. Once we were out to dinner - my dad, my brother and his wife, my sister, me and The Nephew who was like a year at the time - and my sister is holding the baby and some woman behind us turns to her and starts telling her what a beautiful family she has and how lucky she is and like asking if my sister has any more kids at home. lol

Date: 2012-06-08 05:15 pm (UTC)Maybe you could loudly talk about what your doing for your next birthday and mention your age a lot.
That is awesome, I can imagine that happening. When ever my bf is out with her neice she makes sure to mention findiny Mummy, so people don't think she's a parent. But then half the girls we went to school with have one or two by now

Date: 2012-06-05 12:14 am (UTC)Thank you! My sister already loves her job and she has only been there a week and a half.
Where do you find all these geeks?
I think it is just because I wave my geek-flag everywhere I go. Like most people would just talk at physical therapy about the weather and their plans for the weekend or whatever - I talk about my shows and my stories. So for every ten people I talk to - nine of them just laugh and raise their eyebrows at me and one of them goes, "OMG! You like SPN/X-Men/Avengers/Hunger Games too?!" Just wave your flag, baby, and the geeks will find you. Of course, everyone else will think you are nuts but.../shrugs/

I think I'm already there, so no worries. My aunt actually asked me, while I was watching Fantastic 4 way back, if I thought the world really was like that. I wonder how crazy she thinks I am... *eyeroll*
