Dancing Naked

Either my cold is dwindling once again or the antihistamines are actually working, either way, I'm here and I feel decent. I'm home alone, have been for hours! The hubby and the houseguest are at work. I could dance around naked if I wanted.

You'll never realize how nice it is to be alone when you haven't been more then twenty feet from another person for a week straight. I cleaned. I vacuumed, dusted, all that good stuff that is difficult to do when someone is watching your every move or standing directly in your way.

I am going to make dinner for my "men" tonight. (I bake, not cook, so this doesn't happen often.) Kielbasa sausage and sour kraut with garlic bread. I am still debating on whether or not to make the bread myself or used the store bought sliced stuff we already have. It all depends on how much effort I am willing to put into the whole thing. The cookie population within my cookie jar is rapidly declining, I think it's time to make some more. I'm thinking butterscotch chip. Cookies are great munchie food by the way.

I'm watching my soaps for the first time in a week and a half, I've kept updated online with what's going on but it still feels like I've missed so much. As I have said before, soap operas are an annoying addiction. Do you suppose there is a patch? A gum maybe?

On the 360 front, I am thoroughly hooked. I've been playing UNO all morning and honestly it's more then I have ever played that game in my lifetime. I love it. Getting a 360 has invited us into this huge amazing world of gamers, something that feels cool to be a part of. When it says 251,834 players on Halo 3, I am one of them, yay! I'm a nerd, I'll be the first to admit it. It's not everyone's cup of tea, I know. Too many buttons! What ever happened to the original Nintendo? Believe me, I've said it all before and every once and a while I am sure to say it again. There is a great sense of accomplishment that comes with being able to keep up with the big boys. (I can't really beat them yet, but I'm sure trying!) Plus the hubby loves video games and I love the hubby, why wouldn't I try to share his interest and make it my own?

Want some news on Tall and Sassy? Didn't think so, but I am going to tell you anyway. Looks like they are splitting, again. Not surprised, again. It all sounds a little more real this time but really I can't see it being anything but good for them. I typically do my best to not take sides, to each his own and I just try to be friends with whoever wants to be friends with me, keep it simple, yes? If you asked me in this situation, I got to say I'd stand behind Tall. Yes he has screwed up royally in the past, but he has owned up to it and has basically been punished repeatedly for it. Sassy on the other had has never owned up to what she could possibly be doing wrong in the relationship. It's all his fault. Even now she is blaming him for her wanting to separate. Duh. I told her, more then once, not to take him back if she didn't forgive him. It's not fair to either of them. She took him back, and due to her MySpace blog today it's obvious she never forgave him. Tall was here last night, and despite the pretty blatant stress of his current situation, he was able to loosen up more then I have seen him do so in a while. He didn't have to worry about getting into trouble for smoking a cigarette or a bowl. He shouldn't have to. I'm going to take a guess and say he will be here again tonight. That's fine, I like taking care of all my boys. (Sorry girls, you just typically don't want me taking care of you so I will settle for taking care of your boyfriends, and no, I don't mean that dirty, it's the future mom in me talking.)

It's looking more and more like our vacation may actually happen. My mom is having me look for good prices for the plane tickets and from the sound of it my uncle has already gotten us tickets to an Angels game, awesome! My uncle (the big kid that he is) is the one who had taken me to Disneyland so many times growing up. The last time I went, the hubby's first trip, my uncle didn't come because he had recently had a hip replacement and couldn't do that much walking. From the sound of it he has asked if we want to do Disneyland again, I wonder if that means he will come, selfishly I bet it at least means he will pay for it. I am probably easily the poorest person in the family so I don't end up feeling too bad when family members splurge on me. Plus my birthday is in June and I am a step closer to thirty, I want to be spoiled.

We were thinking of also heading down to Hollywood to play tourist. It's free to just walk down the street, right? I've heard that Mike Myers star is right in front of a head shop, heh, I wouldn't mind checking that out if my uncle doesn't take that day trip with us. (Lucy's star is in front of Fredrick's of Hollywood, isn't that awesome?) I've also put the seed of inspiration into my uncle's head about perhaps going out to eat at the House of Blues. The hubby would love to go there, even if there was no one performing. When we were there before, we only made it as far as the gift shop, which in itself was still dang cool.

It feels so nice to be able to blog freely again. No rushing, no paranoia that someone might see what I am writing. Not that I have said anything bad about the houseguest or anything, but it would probably be a little weird if he knew I was talking about him. Plus, home alone I can walk away from the computer without closing or covering up the Blogger window. It makes me think of those websites with a panic button that redirects you to a finance page or something so your boss doesn't know you are goofing around. I'm the boss dammit, I shouldn't need a panic button.

Which brings me to an update on the apartment search. Oh wait, there really isn't anything to update you with. We have made no progress what so ever. Financially the best option doesn't have a washer and dryer or allow pets. (I am not getting rid of my kids- oh I mean cats.) On the other had, the places that seem to have everything we want are about a hundred dollars a month more then we can afford without severely cutting back in every aspect of our daily lives. Like food. Or more importantly weed.

Completely off topic but I found the Blogger page of a very old friend, it's actually the daughter of my mom's best friend that I have mentioned here. I was able to read it for about two days before she made it invite only. It's like the private MySpace pages you always encounter when spying into people's lives, it's always freaking frustrating.

I'm taking so long to write this post that my decision on whether or not to make bread for tonight may be made for me as I run out of time to do so. The soaps playing in the background is a great distraction, though I am not sure I have actually watched much of them. I got the gist of it, that counts right? Off to bake I go then. I'm officially alone tomorrow, so yay! I'll be back and I'll try to make it good!

Later 'gator!
