Before the weekend hits and everyone runs home...
i just want to remind you all that Earth Hour is tomorrow at 8pm your LOCAL TIME. What is Earth Hour you ask? check out this site!
the basic idea is this:
Tomorrow night from 8 to 9 pm, your local time.... turn off EVERYTHING electronic where you are. At home, at work, with friends. There's lots of fun things to do with out electricity! When the whole world does it, it will make an impact on the earth and it will really show us how much energy the world uses in an hour. Let's give the Earth a breather!
So, turn off the lights, the computers, the tvs the games...turn it all off. Read a book by candle light, or get busy with someone...or yourself! hey, you've got an hour, you could probably do a few of those things.
:D

Better than a Kick in the Face, I always say....
Today marks the official first day of Spring.
This makes me very excited. The snow is slowly melting off my front yard - and this morning as i scraped the windows of my car i heard birds singing like crazy.
My week of insanity is almost over, and then a four day weekend for me.
But the thing that i'm most excited about is this:
This morning - first day of spring - at about 12:45 am, i felt the very first bona fide baby kick. What were we doing up at late/early? ::blush:: uhm, wrestling....yeah, that's it....
B-rad says it was a "Way to go Daddy!" kick from Chewie.
It was awesome.
B-rad tried to feel the next one, but the next one didn't come. i doubt he'd be able to feel it at this stage anyway.
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!!

Reading Rainbow
Saviabella tagged me thusly... i was also tagged for a "go through your archives" meme, but this is brain candy - easy. i will do the archive one, eventually, when my life calms down a bit.
1) What book are you reading right now?
Currently, i'm not enthralled with any of the books i'm reading. i just finished the Golden Compass trilogy, and i loved reading them so much that now the book i'm reading seems so boring. I can't even think of the name of it. isn't that sad? uhm... oh yeah, it's called A Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach. Meh.
And of course, i'm also reading What to Expect When You're Expecting. very informative
2) What was the last book you read on a plane?
Uhm, i think it was Valley of the Horses, the second book in the Clan of the Cave Bear series.
3) What was the last book you read on a roadtrip?
On roadtrips b-rad and i read Penthouse Variation Magazines. or more acurately, i read Penthouse Variation Magazines and then read the 'good ones' out loud to him.
4) What is the most unusual place you found yourself reading?
on the shitter. When B-rad and i were dating, i kept asking him why that was the only place he ever read. Seriously, our upstairs bathroom is like a library. Then one day, i found myself reading Calvin and Hobbes. sigh.
5) What books would you take to keep you occupied on a two week vacation to the beach?
This seems like a silly question, cuz i'd take whatever book i was reading at the time. Although, when B-rad and i went to Mexico, i took some Ender's Game books and re-read a few of those.
6) Other bloggers I'd like some book recommendations from (i.e. pay the meme forward):
I'm going to leave this open to anyone who wants a little brain candy this wednesday morning.
Cheers!

Movie Quotes....RRRREVEALED!!!
i'm pretty impressed. Almost all of my movie quotes were guessed.
Go here to see the results....
Also,
today is St. Patrick's Day, apparently. i freely admit that i am not wearing green today. The extent of my celebrations will be that i will post in Green Font today.
my feeling is... if i can't drink the drinks....then St. Patrick's Day is pointless. Sigh. Beer. how i miss you.

Sounding Board part 2
I ran into Mr. Plant, the fuckwad, today in the mall.
Totally out of the blue, i was not prepared for it.
B-rad and i split up to grab a few things before Longlegs' 2nd birthday party over at Fourleafclover and Bath-tubs house.
i called b-rad on his cell and told him i'd wait for him on a bench. He showed up and we started walking down the mall hallway talking. Suddenly, there he was. Right in front of me. i unintentionally made eye contact and the fucking bastard smiled at me a little as we passed each other... i made the mistake of turning my head and he stopped and said; "Hi!"
my heart was pounding in my chest and i blurted out "HI" and tried to keep walking.
B-rad didn't make the connection on who he was or what was happening right away, and i hear Mr. Plant say "I hardly recognized you"
all i could do was keep walking. away from him.
B-rad made the connection and hurried up beside me. my eyes stung, and my throat was filled with pre-cry lump. i kept thinking "just keep walking, don't look back"
when we were far enough away for me to breathe, i felt like i was going to be sick. i just wanted out of the mall.
"I can't believe i said 'hi' to him."
i mean, all these months after talking to Shelly online, and after seeing Mr. Plant on the street and resisting the urge to run him over with my car (Before i found out about the sexual and physical abuse and the impeding law suit) i had ran over in my head what i would say to him if i ever saw him again.
Fuck you Darryl. Don't fucking talk to me. I know what you did. I know what you did to Shelly and Francesca. And if you think you can talk to me at all, you are sadly mistaken. You make me sick, you piece of shit.
but instead i said; "Hi."
i have never felt more disappointed in myself. like i let not only myself down, but Shelly, and Francesca too. Like, i wasn't there for them when it was happening, but at least if i ever saw the bastard i could really tell him off. And i couldn't. I froze. I completely choked.
i keep playing the scene over and over again in my head, thinking of different things i could have said, things i could have done... and oh god, what if b-rad hadn't shown up when he did??
i wasn't relaxed again until we were in the car and on our way out of the mall parking lot. consequently, we forgot to pick up a gift for Longlegs while we were at the mall and ended up being the only ones who didn't bring him anything.
Thank god for the birthday party though. Really, it took my my mind off the event that took place. and i was able to relax and enjoy Longlegs' 2 year old banter. He's so sweet. And i held a six week old baby who was the cutest little thing. i felt better.
i'm trying to not dwell.
fuck him.
Movie Quotes Game

These are your rules:

Idiot in One Act.
[SCENE: Gas station Exterior]
Laura pulls up next to the air pump and proceeds to check the air pressure in her back tires.
Fat Guy in Car pulls up next to her facing the opposite direction so the two cars back tires are in line. FGiC walks up to air hose and starts filling his back tire.
Laura: (under breath) seriously?
Laura stands by and waits patiently for him to finish
FGiC (motioning with hose): oh, do you want this?
Laura: Yeah, thanks. (Motioning with Tire Gauge) Do you want this?
FGiC: Naw, they just get to a certain point and then release themselves.
Laura crouches and begins filling her tire
FGiC: Yeah, these rims are [blah blah blah blah blah], still the original tires.
Laura says nothing
FGiC: Yep. Pretty good tires.
Laura says nothing
FGiC: Not bad for 30 years
Laura: uh huh.
FGiC realizing that Laura cares nothing about his rims, his tires, or his 30 year old Lincoln - gets into his car and revs the motor 5 times blowing exhaust in Laura's face as she places the cap back on the tire.
in a last attempt at machismo, FGiC attempts to squeal tires, and fails miserably.
Laura: y'gotta be fucking kidding me. (gets in car) God, i'd kill for a slurpee right now.
