Say it ain't so!
I have bum knees. They hadn't been bothering me for a good long while. They really started bothering me a week or two ago.
My car's been in the shop. For a week or two. So I've been biking here and there and everywhere. Well, here and there, anyway. Here and there being very nearby (although I did bike a good distance for two (heavy) gallons of raw milk). I haven't told Mom this, as I didn't want her to concern herself with my under-the-weather car. So she hasn't known that I've been biking. During our marathon phone call yesterday, I mentioned that the bum knees she passed on to me had been bothering me. I had no idea why. During this topic of conversation, she said that when she was a good deal younger, a doctor told her that bicycling was the worst thing she could do to her bum knees. (If she had known I was biking, I would have thought she was pulling this out of thin air.) Nooooooo! I don't want it to be so that biking might be what's causing my knees to flare. I love biking! Every time I get on my bike I wonder why I ever get off it. I'd live on my bike if I could.
This has really added a good many more needles to my voodoo doll life.

hee-b-jee-b
i had a major heebie jeebie freak out today. it was awesome! it is the best because it fills the time. gah. i forgot to take one of my meds last night, i don't know if that could be it, sometimes i wonder if it has to do with something else. i wonder if something is happening somewhere else and i am feeling the backlash. if that makes any sense and doesn't sound strange. i have dreams about things that happen. i had insane dreams last night that had to do with my niece and nephews, a party at my parents' house and my sister-in-law thinking she was pregnant but it ended up being someone else, but i don't remember who it was. i had a bunch of people who were ill sleeping in my house, which in the dream had a ton of bedrooms that each had two beds in them, like a tweens room. very odd. no clue what that was all about.
i think i had about 6 showers. 2 of em standing up, the last 4 lying down in the tub. i try to calm myself down, but i just can't. heather called and wanted to get together. i had gotten ready after i first showered, took another shower because i felt a bit out of it, got ready again, took another shower and then i started running overtime into when i was supposed to be meeting her. she came over here instead and we talked on the back porch swing, one of my favorite hangouts. i am not a person that "connects" easily with many people, and once i do, i can't disconnect. the time i spent not talking to her, i thought about her all the time. she is such a sweet person. i am hoping that it is time now for her to accept only good stuff into her life. i felt better after hanging out with her. i realized i hadn't remembered to eat today. i just was so out of it all day. i was sad to see her go and tried to get her to stay over or let me sleep there so she wasn't alone there. she needed the time alone.
i have had a headache that i can't shake for a few days. i make the mistake of talking on the phone, i don't feel super bad and make it worse. i knew that this freakout would end up as a headache. i will be sorry to say this out loud, but i would choose a migraine over a freakout any day. it is unbearable. as unbearable as a good migraine is, when i have these bad fits, i am totally ready to jump out of a window. or take another shower. at least i am clean. right?
in non-sick news, here are some paper cutting, and paper arts links, seriously mind-blowing...su blackwell. just...woah. and these cut lights from tord boontje. gorgeous. absolutely inspiring and gorgeous. wow. i am going to give it a go in the next few days. i can do it sitting down AND it is cheap! woot woot!
how about some easy and yummy peanut butter cups?
make sure you tell the people that you love that you love em. and maybe make em peanut butter cups, too. love to you all. and then some.
xo

13 Random things
1. I pinched my tongue this morning with a tiny hair clip. Don't ask me how. I think I was thinking I would hold it in my teeth while I used both hands on Liv's hair but I stuck in my mouth in the open position. Like I said, I don't know.
2. I am on my third beer
3. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) coconuthead has a more active social life than I do. Including my phone call with her tonight I have about 57 minutes of adult conversation today.
4. Does anybody that uses facebook use the facebook chat?
5. I had a lengthy conversation with two 11 year old boys at the playground about how The Dark Knight Rocks, but they should not discount the Batman movie with Michael Keaton in it (and yes, Jack Nicholson) because it had its good points, though it did not rock as much as The Dark Knight. Also, it did not star Adam West and was not based on the TV series. Also, I told one of them he was not allowed to spoil it for the other one who had not seen it yet, but would soon. They wandered away after Xavier came to sit on my lap. Am I the geekiest mom at the playground? perhaps...
6.I also told them, since they were in theater camp, they really should know about Jack Nicholson.
When I came home from work, I forgot Jim had taken the car to have the oil changed, so I thought for a moment someone had stolen our Mazda Protege' (ha. Not one of the top stolen cars.)
7. I mentioned to my boss Bob that I had been working for him for 11 years and it is a good thing I am not ambitious; if I was, he would be screwed.
8. As much as I hate the cold, I am ready for summer to be over. the open windows, the heat/humidity, the g.d. fireworks!
9. I am going to go get my haircut, hopefully tomorrow night. I am trying to ride it out, but I have these *wings* above my ears.
10. There is never anything on the PBS Create that I want to watch. And that was the channel for which I was most excited to get the digital receiver.
11. I took a book back to the library because the title annoyed me. "What we ache for" Don't end your title with a preposition.
12. I am excited the Olympics.
13. What the hell is on NBC?? Fear Itself

un-date (biz-related post)
As in, there will be a hiatus on updates to the Shop. I have discovered that keeping up with the shop whilst also being a vendor at the Farmer's Market every weekend, plus the impending fall/winter show season, plus a few other heres and theres, is just TOO MUCH for this mama. So, since I enjoy selling in person and it is a well-documented fact that my website gets virtually no traffic, I would rather focus on events and consignment for the rest of the summer.
Etsy will still get some love, but spending hours and hours updating a few pieces to the website is just not worth the time.
Will point ya'll in the direction of other shops selling my wares as soon as they have product in their hot little hands.

Book retrieved!
So, for an undisclosed sum of money, my book has been retrieved from the hard-drive. The original quote to retrieve it was $1800 though Kevin managed to talk the company down - but he won't tell me what it cost. Whatever - it needed to happen. I spent 5 years of my life researching and writing that book. I'm so glad to have it back and I'm planning to print out a hardcopy of it so I never lose it again. Don't ever trust a single backup to do the job - my backup drive failed around the same time that my hard-drive failed. Total suck. You can bet that will never happen to us again. Now, since we've gone through all of that I think I need to get this baby published. I'm done sending it out - I'm going to self-publish. I don't care if I ever sell a copy. This is family history and is important to me.
In other news, I'm planning an update in the morning. Here is a little sneak-peek:

my kids are both falling apart right now. i do not know wtf is up in this house right now. i do not have the energy to even describe the insanity here. i just dont.
addi is acting odd and v is still complaining about her stomach, clinging, whining, what-the-fuck-ever. maybe there is something really wrong. maybe not. maybe there is something going on with addi. maybe not.
I DO NOT FUCKING KNOW.
i just know that i need a fucking break.
and addi just pulled the "no one ever does blah blah blah" and i had to fucking yell at him about how i ALWAYS do stuff every day for him and blah blah blah and v is in her room crying and i dont even know why!
oh my fucking god.
this is some serious bullshit right here.

Wow.
It's not just the big crowd, sure, it's huge, but look at all those American flags.
I can't get over it.
