So Thursday morning I:
-slept in
-had hell of time getting kids out of bed & dressed & ready to go to in-laws
-got kids out and into car
-returned into unlocked house only to find - NO KEYS TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE
-spent 20 mins looking for keys
-finally gave up and walked kids over to in-laws.
they lent me their car as they have two vehicles. which was fine except:
they forgot to tell me the lights don't automatically shut off when the car stops.
and it had no annoying noise to remind me.
so guess what was dead when i left work later that afternoon, tired and having had a horrific day.
yeah.
i had to call my dad because nobody else would help and those who did want to help couldn't because they had no jumper cables. if it were my own car i'd have had some but it was the in-laws' and they didn't.
got keys from SO and then spent most of the evening looking for mine.
i found them alright - in my son's jacket sleeve.
Friday an interesting thing happened. When I went to get some scrapbook supplies to make a book for my aunt to ship to her newly-found stepdaughter in England (long story short: current hubby had a child very young and the mother of that child took her away and he hadn't heard from said child until just last year, and the kid's like, 30something). I bought a new book to put the layouts in during break and at a later break at work I opened up the book to check for flaws (bought it on sale but didn't have time for that just wanted to get one and go) and inside there was an already complete layout! The photos were professionally done black-and-whites of this very lovely lady. They were much older and it was a gorgeous set-up.
So I called the store and explained to them that I think maybe I got one of their display books or something because of this layout. They couldn't understand what I was trying to tell them so I said I would come over after work to show them, because I didn't want somebody missing these terrific photos.
After work, as promised, I went over to the store and showed the owners what I was talking about. Turns out the photos were of the owner Lauren when she was younger! She was so pleased about my bringing it back she let me choose a different scrapbook from a wall up to $50 in value! Then she gave me 10% off anything else I might find to purchase and a free membership (which entitles me to 10% off everything and free access to their cropping materials). She said it was so nice that there were still people like me because most would have just went "huh. nice." and thrown the layout in the bin or something.
Friday night I went out for dinner with MH & KH, which was nice. We were supposed to go shopping afterward but MH had to go do something with her two sisters to celebrate her middle sister getting engaged. So we had a later dinner and then KH & I decided to cruise around the grocery store as I needed to do some shopping anyway and going at night is best because nobody is around to bug you or fight you over the last box of honey combs or whatever.
Then we put all my groceries away and had some tea and discussed what we were doing for Hallowe'en. She decided she wanted to be an 80's punk sort and was asking me for ideas. I told her to hold on a second and then returned from my room with all kinds of junk that completely suited her purpose. She laughed and said she knew she'd come to the right person and what the heck was I doing with all this stuff. I had no response for that but meh.
Spent most of last night awake tending to not one, but two puking kids. I'm exhausted and grumpy. This is going to be one of the worse types of halloweens I can just tell. Which sucks because I love this holiday normally. :(

Today is my 4th wedding anniversary.
Instead of doing anything tonight we are planning to go to London on the weekend and watch some live comedy and have dinner and just do couple type stuff that we never seem to have time to do lately.
I can honestly say that while it was the scariest thing I've ever done, I've never once regretted marrying SO. I love him dearly and thank my stars every day for having him. Even on the days that he drives me up the wall. Honestly.
Today is also![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
lometa's wedding anniversary. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LOMETA!

So my ultrasound results yielded: Steatohepatitis aka "fatty liver". Cause as of this point unknown. I may have to get a biopsy done and then further tests.
memes have excellent procrastination potential.

Superman's dead. My heart is broken.
Actor, Director and Activist Christopher Reeve Dies at Age 52
Christopher Reeve died suddenly at 5:30 p.m. yesterday of heart failure. He was 52 years old.
On Saturday October 9, Reeve fell into a coma after going into cardiac arrest while at home. Reeve was being treated for a pressure wound that he developed, a common complication for people living with paralysis. In the past week, the wound had become severely infected, resulting in a serious systemic infection.
Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness. His family was at his side at the time of death.
Dana Reeve, Christopher's wife, issued this statement:
"On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank Northern Westchester Hospital for the excellent care they provided to my husband. I also want to thank his personal staff of nurses and aides, as well as the millions of fans from around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years."
"The family asks that you respect their privacy at this very difficult time, "said Wesley Combs, publicist for Mr. Reeve.
Reeve is survived by his mother Barbara Johnson and his father Franklin Reeve, his brother Benjamin Reeve, his wife Dana, their twelve year old son Will and his two children from a former relationship, Matthew (25) and Alexandra (21).
At this time, no plans for a funeral have been announced. Additional information will be released as soon as it is available.
For those who care to do so, the family has requested that donations be made in his honor to the Foundation. Cards may be sent to the family in care of the Foundation at 500 Morris Avenue, Springfield, NJ 07081.

so the weekend with the girls up in pike bay was great and much needed and fun. if i remember i will post the phots somewhere so you can see us make asses of ourselves running the obstacle course.
went for ultrasound yesterday and the woman put 16 tons of goop all over my torso that i swear she'd stored in the freezer prior to it and the halfway through she gets into a phone conversation with her mother whilst i lay there all goopy. like i didn't have a job to get back to or anything. it sucked. and when she pressed down just below my ribcage on the left hand side it hurt like a mofo. dayyyyum.
also on the way out of the lab my left shoulder was clipped by a purolator van's rearview mirror. fucker didn't even slow down just rammed right through the parking lot. grrr.
also i spilled coffee all over a co-worker's desk. don't ask. it's a long story.
i go to a dressmaker tonight to get fitted for a dress being made for christmas party. i'll probably also wear it to the oscar night gala we have here.
anyway.
