thowing up so hard your body shakes

Warning: This post is not to be read on a full stomach.

So I got sick this past weekend . . . ahh!  I was throwing up every 20 minutes from 9:30pm - 4:30am Sunday night.  I hadn't eaten much that day, so it was mostly dry heaves.  I usually don't throw up and in fact, when I have been sick in the past, I've wanted to throw up, but just can't get myself to do it.  Anyway, I was throwing up so hard that literally my entire body was shaking.  If you count everytime I threw up that night it was probably 100 times.    For some reason this reminded me of being pregnant (I didn't get morning sickness with Baby O) and I feel so bad for anyone that has morning sickness.  Anyway, it is almost a week later and my stomach still feels like I've done a million situps.

One bonus, I lost 5 lbs because of this.

Comcast

I've been on the phone with Comcast for the past 2 1/2 months (i'm not exagerating) trying to get them to hook up cable internet. They send people out and they are too lazy/always have an excuse why they can't hook up my internet. Then I talk with them on the phone and they say my address is not servicable . . . Guess what Comcast, my neighbor has you guys and we share the same pole?! What evs? I think I am going to call up and get the highest cable package available and then we they hook it up, I'll cancel...argh...Comcast stinks!

Cleaning the Bathroom

Especially the toilet . . . nuff said.

on the way home from work . . .

no offense to anyone in the blogosphere world, but really, why do i have to be bombarded with these images on my train ride home?

Costco Milk Cartons

So impossible to pour . . . I get at least half of it on the floor, table and side of the carton every time I pour it.  It's Costco's way of getting us to think we are getting inexpensive milk, but really we have to buy more milk because it ends up somewhere besides my cereal bowl . . . ahh!

I know there's other people out there that feel this way too . . . what about you?

Even the New York Times agrees:  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/business/30milk.html?_r=1

I spent $1 at the Dollar Store and it ended up costly me $100

Never buy Dollar Store Measuring Spoons. Shortly after Pepe and I were married, we saw some really nice stainless steal measuring spoons at the Dollar Store. We thought, on my, what a great deal!

Just this week I put two and two together when I was making Jiffy Rolls for Thanksgiving.

My measuring spoons have the wrong labels on them.

The tablespoons are actually labeled as teaspoons.

I'm sure this is how the conversation went at the manufacturing plant:

Quality Control Guy #1 -"Oh shoot, the engraving is supposed to say, TBSP not TSP."

Quality Control Guy #2 - "Ahh, don't worry. It's just one letter missing. Those Americans won't notice."

Quality Control Guy #1 - "Yeah, let's ship these off to the Dollar Store, that's were those American suckers will buy anything if it's just a dollar."

Quality Control Guy #2 - "You're right, I think they'd even buy used toilet paper if it was only a dollar."

They were right, I was the sucker who bought these and I probably ruined over $100 in food (and bruised by homemaker ego) by trying to be thrifty buying $1 measuring spoons.

To be honest, ever since we've been married, all my baked goods turned out awful, too salty, too yeasty, too much of something. Even though I learned how to cook from my mom and had made lots of decent baked good when I was younger, I just marked it up to the fact that maybe I didn't really know how to cook. Now, I know why.

Sorry to anyone who has had to eat any of my baked goods the past 4 years.

Junior High

Don't you wish you could have just skipped those years?

Enough said.
