Kids.Arrgh!

10 Comments

I was responsible for my nephew, Cage, for two and a half days and OMG am I tired. Seriously, how do people manage? He’s probably the most lovable, intelligent, adorable six-year-old ever, but he damn near killed me. I’m more convinced than ever that I don’t want kids, not because of Cage, just because of my low energy level.

I am pleased, however, to announce that I have recruited a miniature sci-fi fan in Cage. He loved SGA and Doctor Who, and that just makes me so proud! He already loves Star Wars and Harry Potter, so we had a blast hanging out. We watched Superman Returns, which he was kind of meh about (and so was I), oh, and he LOVES vids. His favorite was the Spiderman vid listed on Fanvid-Recs. Yes, he’s a great kid and he’s so frellin’ cute!!

My aunt and cousin from Ft. Lauderdale are in, as are my uncle and aunt from Knoxville, so we’re having a bit of a family reunion this weekend. Unfortunately, they all ventured down to their childhood hometown and won’t be back in time for dinner, so I’m on my own for tonight. Hmmm…what to eat in preparation of STARGATE night?!?!?

p.s. I’m on an Egyptian kick again, so default theme? Egyptian :wink2:

p.p.s. Going from the fridge to the cupboard and back is NOT helping dinner selection. Food has not, and will not, magically appear.

p.p.p.s.  Narayan isn’t coming to visit.  Eh, f’ him.

My mom and sister-in-law have decided to hold a yard sale. Tomorrow. At my house. Ack! I just finished mowing the lawn while having two and a half heat strokes and getting a couple of things ready to sell. While searching for unwanted items, I found two pairs of kickass jeans that I couldn’t wear in my heavier days (I’ve been on WW again :wink2:). Yay! They’re practically new and not the cheap kind I’ve been wearing, so they feel great. Whoo hoo!

Most of the items I have are old VCR tapes. I’m only selling the tapes I bought, not the ones I taped. I still have all the Buffy eps on tape and it was great being transported back to the time they were made. Oh, and Todd, I really miss you. *sigh* Those were the days…

I’ve also gone blond again. I’ve been blond, but now I’m really blond. Damn you ANTM!

[Edit: Clean up on aisle Nar! I talked to Narayan today! He’s back in the country and current prediction puts him here, at my house, late next week. YAY!!!]

I *did* say life-changing events, eh? Well, here are a couple of pictures of my brother’s wedding. The first is of Scott, Jamie, and Cage (my new nephew!), and the second is obviously of Scott and Jamie. The ceremony was held on the beach and thankfully, the rain held off until we were trying to take pictures. Luckily, my brother is superstitious and the old saying about rain on your wedding day being good luck brought him some comfort.

Have a great weekend, all!
