timeless

December 29th, 2006 by tree

I’m starting to lose track of what day it is. It doesn’t feel like any particular day, and when I look out the window, all I see is piles of white. We shoveled today for a couple of hours, piling snow on snow on snow. Thirteen is starting to get cabin fever from being sick and being at home all this time. We did get out between storms to Loveland, but mostly we’re home and the glare from the snow comes in through the windows.

    i can understand that feeling. 3 years ago, it might be more, it snowed every day for 3 weeks. my life consisted of shoveling snow and watching the snowplow come through and fill the end of the driveway. i felt close to insanity. these days i would welcome the storms and the solitude. i yearn for some time to catch my breath and organize my life. somehow we humans are never happy. i guess that wanting for something more helped us evolve. wear sunglasses. :)

    Here’s some entertainment: these are words made by adding one letter to an already existing word and then supplying the definition. I’m told this list is from a Mensa contest in 2005. Some of these new words really, really make sense.

    1. Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

    2. Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an asshole.

    3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

    4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

    5. Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

    6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

    7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

    8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.

    9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

    10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

    11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

    After I read this list, I made up one: Teorrific, which I decided was feeling so good you’re afraid you’re about to shit your pants.

    Hexophthalmic- giving someone the evil eye so hard that your eyeball pops out

    Himpotent- self explanatory

    Beautifuol- alternative spelling,, Beautifool– someone addicted to plastic surgery (Bert- this is driving me NUTS- i can’t get stop trying out words to see what i can come up with)

    Those are funny, Bert. But my brain is in hibernation. I’ve been playing The Sims for two days straight. I made a sim called Keith Olbermann. He’s a ladies man.

    I am trying to decide what to make for dinner tonight. It’s kind of a tossup between a steak, broiled, or palella (spanish rice, chicken italian sausage, shrimp. I don’t like mussels enough to put them in.)

    Has anyone been watching 30 Rock? It’s pretty funny. A tiny bit like The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. (Another show that should be on DVD but isn’t.)

    The sun is out and we’re going to visit my inlaws for a few minutes. One daughter is going to her friend’s house for the night, the other is having her vegan friend sleep over. I’m making the kids go to the store to shop for a vegan dinner. Oh, and this vegan girl doesn’t even like mushrooms. What’s left to eat?

    30 Rock’s hilarious–that team of writers is worth the price of admission alone. Have you paid attention to the Public Announcements? they’re clever. And Alec Baldwin—who knew he could be so funny

    Emma, was Alec the Baldwin in Main Street? That was a wonderful movie and he (if it was him) was hilarious, along with Sarah Jessica Parker, both of them doing send-ups of “movie stars.”

    For not blogging—-You suck Tree

  13. on 12 Jan 2007 at 12:12 am   Porky

    I know she’s not blogging, and yet I keep clicking.

  14. on 12 Jan 2007 at 12:51 am   Anonymoose

    Porkchop, me, too! I’d even settle for her just typing a gibberish comment on this post.

    Do you think she’s counting the hits on her blog and sitting there, twisting her mustache and cackling evilly, knowing how much pain she’s causing?

    By the way, what’s the going rate for Prime Porkchop at this point in time?

  15. on 13 Jan 2007 at 9:57 pm   Porky

    Don’t worry honey, I’d give you the employee discount.

    Pork Chop, you are the sweetest thang!
