Can I rant here?
I am just NOT having a good day.
First, I findout that my DH, who knows I hate handwriting *anything* got me a gift based on handwriting. Some stupid electronic pen that does character recognition or something. Which might even have been useful back when I was a student and doing math classes. But I have no need or desire for this - I use keyboards. Always, for everything I can possibly get away with. What was he thinking? Oh and no, I wasn't snooping - he used my amazon account to order it! So of course I got an email acknowledgement...
Second, something I ordered *months* ago (Sept 30 to be precise) - a Computer Engineer Barbie - was supposedly delivered on the 16th. Well, I was here on the 16th and it was never delivered. Now they say they don't stock them any more and I can order it from a third-party who's selling it for 3 times what I paid!
On top of that it's been raining here for a week and supposed to rain for another week.
I am just SO depressed right now I wanna go to dig a hole, crawl in it and pull it in after me. ARGH!
Okay, thanks for listening. Sorry - I realize this is really silly petty stuff - I mean, my DH is wonderful and life is generally really good and I have no excuse for whining. Just needed to vent to someone where he wouldn't find out. I'm just shocked that he would get something that I would find so meaningless... Like - does this man know me at all? His gifts are generally really good. I guess he's just missed this time. Oh well. I love him anyways.
Ever feel like it wasn't worth getting out of bed?
Hrmmmm - maybe I should go walk the dog and make at least someone happy... (the dog)

Tomorrow will be a better day. Just think, since Dh ordered it on your account, there should be no trouble returning it and exchanging it for what you would like better. Since he hasn't picked up yet on the clue that you don't write anything, then he shouldn't think it strange when you continue to use the computer . . . .
As far as that barbie thing goes - - - don't they have to have a signature or something ? ? Get some sleep tonight and call those crazy folks back tomorrow !

Sorry I have to quote can't remember anything.
So are you sure the pen is for you? Maybe someone else? Co worker or some one else in the family? Would he really order it on your account and not expect you to notice. It wouldn't be wrong to mention it you know. Then say who are you getting that for? If he says you say you really should have gone to Jareds. They're a jewelery store in NY that has a commercial. "OOOHHH He went to Jareds." Or you could mention to someone in the family how useless it would be if he did get it for you and they could enlighten him.
The Computer Barbie is another matter. I would let the company know that they should take you off their list and then write a review about the type of service one can expect from them.
As for the rain well things could be worse unless your flooding and then as long as your ok.
One thing my long years have taught me is that the bible says that trouble comes to visit, but it doesn't say it comes to stay. If that doesn't cheer you up just sing "The sun'll come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar there'll be sun........." Ok you can kick me.
At least you've got a dog, DW won't let me have one.
Chin up , we love you

Thanks everyone.
I'm doing better now. Took the dog out and the sun broke through for a few minutes! DS helped me clean up the house a bit and set up our new Google TV that DH got us for Yule. And I asked DH when he got home where he got the idea for the pen. He'd seen it in the tech section of the newspaper and, knowing how much I love gadgets... LOL. I have to say this is the most *ungadgety* gadget I've ever heard of... but at least there was some sense in why he got it for me. Silly sweetie.
So I'm prepping dinner now. The chickens are in their coop. The dog is playing with his new octopus toy - we discovered he likes *cat toys*. And I'm feeling more optimistic. Thanks everyone for listening and for not telling me off for being a selfish jerk. I do know how lucky I am. I just needed a hug today - even a virtual one. So thanks.

Morning/afternoon People
Trying to slow my consumption of coffee down, so it's going to be made with a French Press. It tastes better, and no more using the coffee pot as a mug (just joking).
Weather: woke up to another "warm" spell - 22 degs with a high of 34 deg. windy
Enjoy you day

Good Morning, everyone! I'm downing some coffee and trying to kick myself into gear. I went out with some girlfriends that were in town last night and I only see them once or twice a year. We had a great time, but it was REALLY late when I got back. Let's just say late enough to see the full lunar eclipse, which was so beautiful. I got home and dragged BF out of bed (he told me to before I left).
Now the same friends are stopping by later and my house is a mess. Gotta get cleaning, then take my son for his first dental appointment. That should be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.....
Glad you are feeling better, Annaraven. And holy SNOW, Rancher! I'd love to play it in just for a few hours, then come back here. I still felt cold all day yesterday, and it was only in the 40s. I just couldn't seem to get warm.
GUESS WHAT! I got my green egg!! And it's GORGEOUS!
The picture hardly does it justice. It's the color of jade, which is what I named the girl that laid it - that was lucky!
Well, have a great day folks. Time to fire up the vaccume cleaner.

Good morning chicken wranglers
Rancher I'm sorry, I forgot to compliment you on your run modification Quite ingeinious really. Ijust keep my girls inside during the inclement days.
Chics nice greeny.
Sissy the warm weather is drifting up here now It will be in the 30's all week.
Anna maybe your husband is throwing a smoke screen up to cover for somthing really good and that pen is just a diversion.
The ducks and goose are getting better about letting me handle them. Putting them in a pen does not set well with the goose but it is better then the cold hard teeth that await
them on the outside.
Merry Christmas and god Bless!
