Definitely Hormonal

At least I hope this is just hormones because I am g-r-u-m-p-y. Ever have one of those days where everything is broken? Nothing works? That’s my day today. And my reactions are way too over the top to be normal, so I am going to blame the hormones.

Last night, we were watching Survivor. And every season, they always have a challenge where the contestants play for time with their family members who have been flown in. It’s always very emotional and I usually get teary watching it, but last night, I was full on sobbing. It was ridiculous. Humiliating, actually.

In other news, we are going to see Bono speak tonight. I got offered tickets from a vendor at work the same day I was about to go online and buy them to surprise Jake. These are much better tickes, as said vendor is a sponsor of the event, and we got a free valet parking pass, which rocks. You’d think that it being Bono Day would pull me out of my funk, but so far it hasn’t.

The damn sprinkler guy has not called me to schedule our system installation, and I called yesterday to just see if he had an estimate on when it might be. Back on April 3 he told me it would be a month, but here it is May 5, and nary a peep from him. If this guy hadn’t done two systems for my dad and one for my brother, I’d be very suspicious and start asking for my deposit back, which by the way was cashed a month ago). But I know he’s reputable and does good work and I understand it’s their busy time - everyone has the same idea I had about avoiding watering this summer. If I don’t hear something today I might sic Jake on him.

We had window guys come yesterday to measure our windows for some sort of coverings. We have one window over our front door that is tailor made for Lucy to lay on the landing of the stairs and see out and bark at anyone even considering walking or driving by our house. That will not fly once the baby is born, and since I have thus far been unsuccessful in locating a vet who will surgically remove her vocal chords, we decided the window needed to be taken care of. Long story short, what I really want to do with that window and all the windows on the front of the house will cost us over $3,000. So that won’t be happening. Now we have to decide on what to do about just that window, and then how to deal with the stupid half-circle window in the room that will soon be Curtainrod’s. No offense if you like them, but around here, for the past ten or fifteen years, builders have been installing those stupid ass half-circle windows. The windows themselves I guess aren’t that bad. No, I actually think they are. I just hate them. But the more annoying part is that there are no attractive ways to cover them. The best option I have seen is custom-made shutter and that’s what landed us with a quote for $3,000. I guess we’ll just cover the window over the door for the sake of quiet in the house, and hope that we can use curtains in Curtainrod’s room. Ha! We need to buy a curtainrod for Curtainrod. That’s funny.

And one thing that made me happy yesterday was the delivery of my big order from Old Navy. We had the Maternity Fashion Show. I was amazed to find that of all the things I bought, I only need to return two things. And since it’s Old Navy, I can just return them to the store by me and not deal with sending them back.

On an administrative note, my comment notification email is still not working, so if you are wondering why I’m still not responding to your comments it’s that I can’t, not that I don’t love you.

Now, I’m going to pout some more.
