I'm bored with nothing to do at work.
This memorial/benefit for my friend who passed is getting frustrated. I was told that her work was setting up a fund for a place that took in her animals. So when we started planning the memorial, we discussed setting something up for donations to this place. I've been trying to get the name of the place and can't get a straight answer out of anyone. I called where she worked, to ask about the donations (hoping someone would just tell me the name ) and the guy on the phone said "we are taking up a collection and going to bring it a benefit. I know it's a bird sanctuary."
I wanted to shake the guy through the phone and be like "I'm running the benefit and I have no idea where the donations go!"
No one will give me contact information for her family either. It seems they aren't to happy we want to do a memorial.
That is really strange PS, how many bird shelters can there be in your area though? Can you just start calling them and see if they know whether or not she brought her birds there? I sort of wish I didn't have class today. My bed is so comfy and I don't want to leave.

That was my thought as well. I only got one hit on Google, so I'm going to call them today and see if they know anything. I think it's a long shot, but it's the only thing I have to go on right now.
My cd/dvd rom drive is no longer recognized by my computer and I don't know why. I restarted the computer and everything, but it won't even open to let me get the cd out.

I called the society. They only do wild birds, but gave me some places to check. I checked those and even called the local pet stores. I got nothing. I may just end up picking a local shelter to donate to in her honor.
LOL. Then I wouldn't have any computer PS. I put a ticket in, the tech will come over when he gets a chance--it's not super urgent. Just crappy. I did kind of want to listen to my starsailor cd this morning though
DH & I watched america's got talent last night, he cried when the guy from Kentucky sang to his wife--I got a little weepy too. It was sweet.
DD has her bag packed for a sleepover at camp grandma for "a date night" even though we don't have one planned, but she's ready. LOL.
I'm dreading my performance evaluation, it's not even scheduled yet but I am dreading it.
How frustrating, ps! You just want to do something good, why does it need to be so complicated.
Date with puppy guy got moved from yesterday to thurs.. buuut he suggested a really cool dueling piano bar we passed downtown last weekend and I'm excited! The vent? Since we'll be out and about, I doubt there will be time to get laid. Grrr.
LOL. Painfully so. I came into her room last night as she was shoving something into her backpack.
Me: "I thought you were keeping it empty until school starts in August?" DD: "I packed my sleeping bag and a pillow." Me: "For what?" DD: "A sleep over a Grandma's, for your date night." Me: "When?" DD: "Sometime this summer."

Cuddlyevil, your daughter made me smile this morning!
Vent: my mouth is still a little sore from where the dentist injected me with novacaine (not sure if I spelled that right) and it's in a really inconvenient spot. I took some advil and I'm hoping that makes it go away.
DS was being a complete turd this morning. Everything was a fight. At one point he turned to me and said "Mom, I'm sad with you. I'm not going to let you marry me anymore. I'm going to marry (insert random BOY's name from daycare here)!" Um... Oookaaaayyy....
Starrieskies. I hope your mouth feels better. I had this happen to me a few weeks ago. The dental work didn't hurt but where I got the shot did.
I am so over work right now. I have things to do but don't feel like doing them. I want to go shopping for a sundress. I am also not excited about the dress styles that are out there. Some of them are just very unflattering to my shape. Grr.
Starrieskies, she makes me smile every day. It's part of who she is, she makes everyone around her feel good even as she's trying to boss them around. She's what I call a "maternal type A" personality. She's my minion, if I ask her to keep a secret she totally will but if DH asks her to keep a secret she can't--ever. It's awesome.

Thanks, neon! it's dulled to an annoyance now, but still there.
I have trouble with dresses too, and normally default to a pair of blue jeans and a tank top in the summer. I have big boobs, a (relatively) small waist, and huge hips. Definitely curvy (which is not a bad thing), but sundresses that fit my boobs and ass are usually pretty shapeless in the middle and make me look like I'm wearing an old lady nightgown.
Starries and CE, both of your kid stories made me laugh. PS, you'll figure out the bird thing. I bet your friend would be pleased with any bird sanctuary if it was something she really loved.
I just shoved my face full of Nepali food at a lunch buffet. This place is a block away from my school. I will be so fat from Nepali food by the end of the semester. Luckily it isn't too bad for you.
Also, bullygirl979 - I just realized I never posted my jeweler rec for you! New Neem Rana Gift Shop is the name of the store. I can't remember the owners name but he is the nicest man that has ever lived. He will also remember you and all of your purchases for ever. Even if you don't go back to Nepal for a few years he will remember you.
What my dad, aunt, and friends and I have done is go to the shop when you are first in Kathmandu before you leave for the mountains. He will help you pick your stones and settings and then do the custom work for you while you are hiking then you can pick it up when you get back from the mountains. He also has a bunch of pre designed things that are beautiful.
Also, I have always purchased aquamarine there because the stones are almost always mined in Nepal. That is sort of a random tidbit.

You could always invite him over for 'coffee'.
I could. However, I live with my parents right now. Come on, they won't be able to hear! The basement is totally soundproof. lolol
I'm normally (vaguely) on ML but felt like putting this here. I'm highly annoyed with SO. I wanted an uninterrupted me day and he was all "I'm sad. *pout* You're hurting my feelings by telling me to find something to cheer myself up with." And, then he goes from pouting to being pissy at me. It feels next to impossible to get a real me day because he constantly texts, calls, or wants to stop by "just to say hi". Ugh, I'm frustrated with it. Thanks for letting me get that out.

Tell him he's smothering you.
I dated a guy like you described. I ended up dumping him. We just didn't mesh when it came to "me" time and personnel space. No shame in that.

How long have you been together? Has he always been so clingy?
