Alrighty, I really should be balancing our checking account and determining October's budget, but I can't deny the fact that I'm a procrastinating slacker. Well, you know, my blog is important, too! So I'll justify it with, "I'm doing other priority tasks first." (Typing drivel in blog, drinking Dr. Pepper, listening to Ed Robertson from BNL sing "When I Fall" over and over...)
I would be listening to my new bootleg cd, but it doesn't play very well on my computer. I was listening to it last night, and the first couple of songs were fine, but then it started blanking (muting?) out and I momentarily got really irked that perhaps the cd is garbage! But it plays fine on the stereo in the livingroom. So, I'm cool with that. THANK GOD. Are you tired of hearing about this cd yet? Think I'm obsessed yet? Don't answer that.
FWOW time. The Funny Word of the Week is....
Juxtapose
verb, meaning:
To place side by side, especially for comparison or contrast.
I don't have much of a reason for liking this word. I just think it sounds funny. I think it's the "x" followed by the "t" that does it for me. It just sounds neat and it seems like it takes a lot of effort to say it. I mean, I feel like I use a lot of "mouth muscles" (wtf are mouth muscles, you may ask) to pronounce it. When you think about it, anybody can use the term "compare" to place things side by side, but it takes a REAL thinker to say "juxtapose." This week I will be that thinker.
Oh, and about my womb status. I don't know what the heck is going on. I spotted some last evening, but was dry (sorry to the men reading this) overnight and have been dry so far today. I guess if the crimson tide hasn't flowed by tomorrow morning, I'll take another test. Please don't think I'm getting my hopes all wound up, though. I'm prepared to not be preggo. Cameron and I had a little talk this morning and he said he'd prefer to turn 2 before his little sibling arrives, so he'd like us to have a July, 2005 bebe. Plus he wants to have his birthday earlier in the year than the sib's. I understand where he's coming from on that.
Since this entry has taken a turn for the worse on a bodily function level, I'll go even deeper. Do you know how hard it is to be in a bathroom (washroom/loo) with a 15 month old? So, I'm trying to take a dump (eloquent, huh?) and Cam is running around, opening cabinet doors, pulling down towels, falling into the tub, unrolling the tp, trying to flush the toilet, trying to move my leg so he can LOOK IN THE BOWL!!! And mind you, our loo is quite small! Privacy, can someone remind me all about that?
How gross. Sorry.
