Stamping!

I am by no means, an avid stamper... In fact, most of my stamps are stuck in Buffalo! I really must get to them ASAP. Anyway... I've recently discovered a whole WORLD of stamping and stamping people... who are more stamp-enthused than I am! (DH doesn't believe it though).

It's Splitcoaststampers! I'm so far LOVING it. I've only been a member for a few days, and already I want to buy everything there is out there! I have really got to get my car back, then I can go to Michael's! Anyway, its a lovely community, and I'm learning lots, getting a lot of ideas, and breaking the bank all in one fail swoop!

I've even made my first card in over 6 months this past Saturday! YAY me! :)

Dang city workers!

As if my pulsatile tinnitus isn't enough to keep me awake... There are city workers not too far from my house, jack-hammering the road up, because there was water seeping out of the cracks in the road.

Silly stupid me called the city and reported this strange water leakage... the next day they came and spray-painted about 5 pink lines going one way, and some blue lines going the other way...

Now its past midnight, on a monday, and they're tearing the road up looking for the leak! I called them about it last WEDNESDAY! And by that time, I'd noticed it since the Sunday (at least) before that! It is now the following Monday oop, TUESDAY morning (super early, mind you...) surely it isn't THAT important that they need to do all this right now is it?

We haven't lost any water pressure over the last week... so what gives people? WHY do you have to steal my precious sleep? IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!? :( I may cry... There's also two very large apartment buildings in the same viscinity (did I spell that right? where's the spell check button? ;) n/m I'm delirious)... and I'm sure they all have jobs or school to attend in the morning... There's going to be a LOT of mad people on my street. Let's just hope they don't find out it was ME who called all this in to the city in the first place.

Oh geez, now my entire house (it's a crappy house) is vibrating.

I suck. the end. *sigh*

Tell me I'm not a hypochondriac...

Ahh the joys of the internet. The internet allows me to self-diagnose myself, and find some relief. I've lately been getting this constant whooshing in my right ear. Its my heartbeat. Apparently I've got pulsatile tinnitus. I swear it is SO loud, people around me would be able to hear it. It's not normal... but thanks to the internet, I've found some company to my misery, and by reading her posts, and updates, I've gained some comfort in this.

It does, however, quite suck, that I may have to live with this. You really have no idea how annoying it all is, unless, of course, you've experienced it too. For now, I shall wallow in self-pity for a little while longer.

In other news, I'm going with my sister-in-law to Oakville tomorrow to pick up her babys' bassinet, they're the only ones that have this one, and seeing as how her due date is tomorrow (the 24th) and there's no baby yet, she'll be needing this quite soon. :) I'm going to be an Auntie again!

That's the bassinet she's getting, It's apparently a 5 in 1 a portable sleeper, bassinet, bedside sleeper, play seat and changing table. It looks absolutly adorable, and we'll be purchasing it tomorrow. Also, she said she'd let me drive WOOHOO! It's been a while, as my car is stuck in Buffalo. *sigh*. Later :)

"There's a Mormon," by Jeff Foxworthy

I thought this was funny, and highly reminiscent of my mormon upbringing, so I'll post it here. :) enjoy (PS, most of these "jokes" won't make sense unless you're quite familiar with the LDS religion, and that's ok. :) )

It's been a slow week

Not much going on in this neck of the woods. I bought some New (smaller) Gap Jeans (because the jeans I've been wearing are so big on me, I'm now able to take them off without undoing the button and zipper on them...) on eBay last week for $13.27 + s/h ($8.49 to Canada), and I'm waiting to receive those. See, I told you it was a slow week.

I found a little Italian shop that sells every kind of pasta you could imagine, and their prices aren't too bad either. I've never seen what ziti looks like before. I didn't realize it was like a Penne but longer, very interesting. I just got some Penne Rigate x2, Fusili, and some Linguini, but I'm tempted to go back for more. ;) I still have some of my spaghetti sauce in the freezer from when I made that.

Question... very random, I know... but why can't they sell ground sausage like they sell ground beef? You know... Without that sausage casing? I hate that casing. It's such a humbug. I want a poud of Italian Sausage without the casing. Is that too much to ask? Or are they not allowed to call it "Sausage" without the casing? bah.

I should end my musings for the day... I'm not making much sense anyway. ;) I think I'm just hungry. :)

Speaking of... Special K and Corn Pops cereals are so different in Canada. I'll have to take pictures sometime... its freaky. The end.

Added @ 10:15am:
WooHoo! My sister in law, Brandi, just called me and wants me to come baby-stuff shopping with her. (I keep calling it Baby Shopping, and it confuses my husband, because no real babies are for sale anywhere...) Anyway, that'll happen probably around 11, and I need to dry my hair and finish some laundry before she gets here. :) She's about 8 months and 2.5 weeks pregnant... She doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl, but my new neice or nephew is definitely healthy. She and her Husband George were married in Mexico last January (2006). :) yay!
