Problems With 4Shared, Dead Squirrel, Monday Madness Ramblings

September 15, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

LOL What a title!! I found out that the searches hit on the title more so I have been trying to squeeze more in there. LOL

First, 4Shared issues. Is anyone else having them? I can’t seem to download some things, and others I need to try a few times. It’s almost like the zip files are empty because when I download they’re like zipping (haha pun not really intended) through them and then there’s nothing to extract. I dumped my cookies thinking maybe that would help but it didn’t. And so I finally downloaded an add on “Down them all” for firefox, which helps…at least when they are getting “caught up” I can pause and restart them…so for the first time in a few days I was able to download my scrappy things! woo hoo!

 
RIP Little Squirrel
Now on to the squirrel part. I was getting ready for work this morning when my husband went to let the dogs in and he yelled at me to come and see something. Onyx came bounding down the hallway and my heart sank…Topaz! I asked what was wrong, did he have a seizure…he said, no worse. OMG what is worse than that?? I said what and he said he couldn’t explain and I needed to come see. He was on the phone at the time so he couldn’t really say. 
I go and look out the back door and there’s a small black animal on the driveway. I was like…is that a rat? (We have a rat problem in our city) The hubbs said he didn’t know. 
I looked and no, it wasn’t a rat…it was a squirrel!! My husband had just said before letting the dogs in that he saw them chasing a squirrel around the garage too. 
Anyway, so my husband went into the garage to get a shovel to pick up the squirrel and I went to check his cell phone and when I came back, Topaz was walking through the yard with the squirrel in his mouth!!! GROSS!!
So I get him to drop it and the hubbs goes to pick it up…ew, it’s limp…so it’s pretty fresh. Gross. 
So it seems one of our dogs has made its first kill. Nice way to start the Monday.

Paranormal State is on and it has been freaking me out lately. I get to where I can feel the fear in my body…it sucks and I cannot tell my husband, he gets off on that kind of thing. He thinks it’s SOOO funny that I get scared. The jerk! lol…so then he tries to scare me for the rest of the night. Ugh. I hate that.

House Fly Invasion! & Toos-day Random Babblings

August 26, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: home, life | Leave a Comment

 
Our house has been infested by FLIES!! I have no clue where they are coming from either. DH managed to trap about 20…YES, 20!…in a window and closed it. Now to kill the little buggars. We need to find where they are coming from. I just don’t get it.

I’m sitting here and there’s a fly…or two…or more, who knows…flying circles around my head. How annoying is that?? Ugh…we need to get rid of these DAM flies!

I got a package today! At work I won an award so I got to pick a prize. Our pans are HORRIBLE. So i picked a set of 2 T-Fal frying pans and they came today! I love getting packages!

The hubbs said something that cracked me up today. I forget what we were talking about, but he was saying that I am a certain kind of way and I disagreed…he said, “Have you met yourself”…omg I about lost it!!! My saying is “Have you met (whoever)”…Like when my sister’s man was saying how wonderful she is…I was like, Have you met her? hehe…so dh just comes out with that…it was too funny. I seriously laughed out loud.

The Hills and other Monday Madness

August 18, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment


The Hills starts tonight! woo hoo! This is my total guilty pleasure. I love the drama. I know it’s like a high school show, but I’ve been watching it since these girls were on Laguna Beach.

Only problem with the premiere being tonight is that it interferes with Paranormal State. I think i will watch PS and then catch The Hills at 11:00 tonight. I’ll be up all night, but it’s no different than me trying to catch the Olympics all week.

I also have this weird swelling directly under my left eye. Just a little spot. I can feel it. It doesn’t hurt or anything, and nothing else is wrong. It just kind of showed up out of no where. I guess I’ll give it a couple days and see if it goes away. If not, I’ll go to the dr. I hate the dr.

I joined Audible tonight. My supervisor has been bringing me in audible books on CD for a few months now. I’ve probably listened to 20 or so at work. Most are steamy romance novels, which I must admit that I am now addicted to. They are mindless listening, not too deep, have a plot and are usually pretty quick. I’ve also listened to a couple really good books by Jodi Picoult and also Nicholas Sparks classics. So, I joined to get my own account and my own books…not that I am not 100% thankful that she’s been bringing them in for me, but just so that when I finish one of hers I can start one of mine and vice versa. I listen to them pretty quick. Especially if they are good.

I still did not clean up the kitchen or do laundry…I have an aversion to dishes. I hate them…I don’t know why. And what a fool I was to think that just because I have a dishwasher, I’d not be this way about dishes…HA! I still hate to do them. I probably always will. I should have found a man who likes to do dishes or at least will get on me to do them. I think that’s half the problem…Todd doesn’t care whether they’re done or not…so why bother doing them? So stupid, I know. BTW…that’s not a picture of my dishes…similar, but not quite. LOL

I’m sitting here half watching PS, half making my lunch for tomorrow…half talking to my friend on Yahoo Instant Messenger. she has a laptop, so she can sit there and watch and talk…me, not so much. Oh well. It is a good PS though.

Lunch tomorrow will be a yummy chicken salad with berry dressing and blueberries and grapes in it. It’s loosely based on this awesome salad my little sister makes. I love it, it’s so yummy. I may get a couple things from the cafeteria at work to add to it…croutons or sunflower seeds…something like that. Should be good.

This is totally random babbling tonight lol. Todd is asleep in the living room, I’m sitting here waiting for lunch to be done and the hills to come back on at 11:00 lol

No scrappy pages lately. I haven’t had time… 🙁 Maybe Thursday I will!
