My mother-in-law caught a Starbucks cup on fire in my microwave today.
And then she talked to me about her love life.
I told her, "I don't mind how many of my appliances you destroy, or if you burn my house down just to heat up your peppermint hot chocolate, just don't, don't, DON'T ask me for advice about men."

The fact that she proceeded to ask me for advice about men means one or more of the following:
A) She's terribly desperate for any kind of help with her situation
B) She values my opinion
or
C) She was extracting payment for having brought me my favorite drink

Hmm.

BTW- burnt peppermint hot chocolate and wax and paper smells really awful. I can still smell it.
I pick D) All of the above

I liked the second one "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". I have no idea how good the recently-released "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", is. I hope it is good because I want to watch it. :)
In some ways, the last movie is both better and worse than the previous two parts.

Wedding registry! They put a scanner in my hands because they seem to think I'm an adult or something.

Woke up a few minutes ago feeling refreshed and thought the clock said 7:08am. I just looked at it again and realized that it actually said 1:35am. :eek:

Your brain is playing tricks on you. Thankfully, I have a remedy for that. Before you go to sleep, pull out your brain and put it in a kettle of hot water. Your brain will not disturb you until you put it back on again.

SO CRISTEN, I NEED TO ASK YOUR ADVICE ABOUT A MAN...

I'm shouting because it's difficult to hear with all those fire alarms going off.

Loveneverfails: About that mattress, I just sleep on an air mattress. Have for a good 18 years now. Sure they occasionally pop, but all the air mattresses I've ever bought don't even cost half of a cheap-o real mattress. And they're sooooo comfortable.

Yes! Lord of the Rings trilogy = great. Woops. :eek:

The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies = *shrug* The first 1 - 1.5 hours of it were fine. The last hour not so much.

I get weirded out when people ask me relationship advice too. When it comes to spousal relations, I just wing it. Honestly sometimes we argue about the strangest things, not all the time but it makes me feel unqualified to tell someone else how to handle their love lives.

So I stayed up to watch the Alabama/Ohio state game and went to bed knowing i had to get up early. I just laid my head on the pillow when my computer "rang". It was a problem with a system at work. I thought I could resolve through the network, but after several tries I couldn't. I had to end up driving in to work, getting there at 3AM and working the issue that turned into issues (plural) and finally finding out (just now at noon the next day) that what I did - the procedures I followed, the skill set I've learned, the experience I have, the initiatives I took, the work I did - didn't amount to much. The problem could have resolved itself because of some fail safes already in place for just such an issue. In short, I wasn't needed, I created extra work, and the effort I made and the fact that I missed a lot ...well all of sleep was really for nothing except maybe I learned a lesson. Maybe even an important one.

The lesson I also learned this morning is that maybe I'm not always needed. That my advice or love or attention I might give isn't always a thing that's wanted or needed. A failsafe might be in place that I'm not aware of and I might just be making things worse when I was trying to make it better. I didn't respect the fact that the writers of the program I was working on had foreseen the kind of issue I encountered and had written in steps to counteract it.

I'm learning that maybe I'm not respecting the fact that God has written in plans for others that gives them strengths or faith that move mountains that help them to counteract.

It hurts to lose sleep and I have a full day ahead of me and it's only lunchtime. But I get overtime and that's good. It hurts to realize my help might not be needed, but it's a blessing to understand a lesson and that's good too!

Today is just one of those days where I feel nervous and antsy, just a grumpy day. I'm stressed but blessed. I can't complain its a fair balance. Some bible study and walking should help.

lol my fiancé suggested that! But I've actually slept on air mattresses before and none of them were supportive enough for me. My old mattress was so bad I think it actually gave me back problems and contributed to my many nights of insomnia (With the exception of air mattresses and my own mattress, I sleep like a baby on ANY other mattress and wake up without back aches).

Are you talking about the Hobbit movie which was recently released?
I hope so, because The Return of the King was a great movie.
I liked the second one "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug". I have no idea how good the recently-released "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", is. I hope it is good because I want to watch it. :)
I watched all three Hobbit movies and enjoyed them, but the best experience was re watching the first LOTR yesterday with my fiancé who had never seen it before. It was such a different experience this time after having seen the Hobbit! I was fangirling over how many references I understood this time hahaha

as for my Fiancé, he was amused by how young some of the reappearing actors were, especially Orlando Bloom, in contrast with "The Hobbit". Also, he FINALLY saw the famous scene that's quoted in the meme: "one does not simply walk into Mordor". He leaped off the couch and quoted it in tandem with the film xD

Here in the south we have mosquitoes. They draw enough blood that we don't need machines.

I hear it's even worse in Mississippi. Down there mosquitoes are so large they have to file flight plans.

Running a fever of 101.

It's amazing how much difference a couple few degrees makes, body temperature-wise. A change of a couple of degrees in the house or outside...barely notice. Your body temperature rises just a little...it's trippy. I feel hot and cold at the same time and it's hard to keep my eyes open.

Teeeea time.
