OK so I’m not… but my comments sure are!

I’ll have to ask Super Yoshi to have a looksie… sorry to the 1.25 of you out there who still stop by to see if I’m alive…

1) Yes, I’m alive.
2) More importantly, I’ve reconnected with Ashlyn…and that’s going well. I sure missed her!
3) I’ve been playing too much WoW again…but it’s fun… and the expansion comes out next week.
4) Despite all the above… I promise to write more… I’ve actually had some funny stuff to say, but I refer you to #3, as to why I haven’t been saying it.

:O

EDIT: OK I’m fixed!!! And so is my website! /snicker And… *beams* I think I did it without the assistance of Super Yoshi! (But, probably not, he likely ninjaed in here and did something.)

Seriously.

Anyone who knew me in the 1980s should know that I am a MONSTER Def Leppard Fan. I have wanted in Joe Elliott’s pants since before I would have known what to do once I got there. Joe, if you’re out there…believe me, I know now.

Last week as I was watching Dance with the Stars, I had a WTF moment when they announced that Def Leppard would be singing on the show. Mind you, I love DWTS…and I love Def Leppard…but really, never the two should have met. So I do some checking and sure enough, Def Leppard has a new album er, CD, out today. So ok, any publicity is good publicity they say.

But it gets worse…

I tune in tonight, to have Def Leppard not only be on the show, and yes, it’s still nice to drool over Joe…but…

THEY FREAKING LIP SYNCED “Pour Some Sugar on Me”. This can mean only one thing…

I am old.

I still love Joe.

I had a sleep study done a few weeks ago. I can’t remember if I said anything about it before, and frankly, I am too lazy to go back and check if I did. LOL I, of course, slept like a baby, except the 200 times they woke me up because I removed one of the bajillion wires they had hooked up to me.

It turns out, that I awaken 41 times an hour during the few REM sleep cycles I actually make it to. I have sleep apnea…just like my hubby who gasps and snores through the night. I always thought it was just him snoring that was keeping me up. I was wrong…it is his snoring that keeps me up once MY sleep apnea awakens me one time too many.

So tonight…I get to go to another sleep study, so they can fit me with a horrid CPAP machine. Hubby already tried one of these and gave it the boot because he couldn’t sleep with it on. Or so he says. }:-)> My doctor says that perhaps my machine will help to drown him out. LOL Seriously though, nothing says romance like your spouse with a HAZMAT mask on her face connected to a machine that makes her sound like Darth Vader. Nope, nope, nope. Or since I am channeling Darth, perhaps that should be “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

I sure hope I can get used to it if it will help me sleep. On a side note, the doctor put me back on Ambien CR which completely hoses my short term memory. It’s fun though, just so long as I don’t drive or as my Dr. says, “wake up in the middle of the night and make myself a snack without remembering it”. That hasn’t happened yet. At least, not that I can remember. hehe

It’s a new TV show on ABC…it’s really good. You should watch it.

I’m really enjoying American Idol this year. I really wish that Kristy Lee Cook girl would have gone home for her crime against “8 Days a Week”.

Life keeps going by so fast and I seriously doubt any of you would be interested in what I have to say. Oddly, that’s where I was before I started to blog back in 2006…so maybe you WOULD be interested.

Ashlyn got accepted to the college of her choice. She’ll be staying at home, at least for the first year, since it’s just down the street a few miles. I hope she sticks with it and finishes her degree. Now we just await the end of her Senior year. She goes to her senior trip next month, 4 days at Disneyworld in Orlando. Lucky her, I didn’t choose to be a chaperone. LOL

Insomnia is still a part of my daily life. I am going to have a sleep study done next Friday. Of course, that begs the question…how can they do a sleep study on me, if I don’t really sleep? Hmmmm…

In case you were wondering where Canadians go for vacation…it’s Myrtle Beach. I’ve been trying to think of sneaky ways to get them to say “aboot”…but so far, I’ve not been successful.

and it sucked! lol

To give you an idea of my day at work, I opened a computer file to finish my work at 10am. At 4:30pm, I closed the file and turned my computer off without so much as typing one letter. I have crazy people to deal with and I’m quite certain if I checked the moon calendar I would find that it’s either a full or new moon very shortly.

After that, I went to my therapy appointment and got even more depressed by going over some stuff from my past.

And to top it all off….
Simon Cowell encouraged Amanda Overmeyer’s slaughtering of my favorite Joan Jett song. I don’t get it. My husband and I both let out a high pitched “WHAT!?????”

Let’s hope it is true that the 40s are the new 30s.

Our adventure has been well…eventful for the last few months.

First, Ashlyn turned 18 on October 2. She informed me she was going to “ride that ass!” then she giggled as I picked my heart & jaw up off the floor. She was of course, referring to the donkey at the Fiesta del Burro Loco. Ai yi yi.

Then on October 5, she wrecked our Cadillac…
