Good morning!
How was your weekend?

Did you Dip-Dap or get bombed like Libya? Or both at the same time?

Did you work on your entry? http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/441220.html or work on your room? http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/441491.html

My weekend was busy! Spent it at my sister and brother-in-law's place, which was fun, and definitely something I needed. Entry is still in the works. Hopefully, I get it in on time :\

Oh hey, first! My first first :D

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Happy first!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Woot first! I was writing an LJ entry when the green room went up and I wanted to finish that rather than trying to get first XD

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

WOOT! You're first!!!

:throws confetti:

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Yay for first, and good luck with your entry!

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

Hooray for being first!!!!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Happy first first!

Weekend was good. Went shopping and bought Spring clothes. Happy Spring everyone.

Does it have to be Monday though?

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Nice! I love the feeling of having new clothes to wear.

I spent almost my entire Sunday working on my entry :P I'm excited because as of this moment, I'm completely up-to-date on Idol reading. This is new for me! :O

Apart from that, I had a relatively good weekend, when I wasn't balling my eyes out on Saturday morning (it's okay, I think I'm over that stage now). And I also learned that I think I no longer like Mountain Dew. Either that or it was strangely watered down o.O

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

I haven't drank that in what over 20 years...and yeah..it's really watered down cause people complained about the amounts of sugar and caffeine in it..

But doesn't watering it down make it worse?

Our weekend was pretty busy - Carrie worked/helped out with this fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association - help raise money for SFC riders in Napa this spring. They'll have a bike ride in Napa in Late April or early May (I can't remember the dates)

The fundraiser's for a specific team - SFC Riders but it all goes back to America Diabetes Association, if anyone's interested in donating, feel free to PM me :)

The auction was pretty interesting - it was held at a local San Francisco BDSM club (folks that run it are riding in the group, being that the dungeon mistress is diabetic, why they've been doing this fundraiser every year) mostly adult oriented stuff was auctioned off (we managed to come back with new stuff) but the head honcho of ADA for Bay area managed to win this big ass bottle of red wine that also included winery tour in Napa - ah he was happy and very impressed with how much money was raised.

Over $3,000 was raised within 3-4 hours...

So that was our weekend more or less.

*okay are we awake yet?*

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

That's a great haul for that short of a time period. That's awesome!

Today is my first...no, second day of vacation! I slept in until 7:45AM! Go me!

I had to ditch my original idea for this week's entry, so right now I'm playing with another idea that has three different scenarios. I have the feeling this might be an all-day exercise :p

I've been discussing real estate all weekend with anyone who would listen.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

I'm feeling a bit the same - I've written about 2/3 of my first idea but feel as if it's a bit long and I might not be able to pull off the connection the ending's supposed to have with the beginning.

The other idea I had is a little... self-absorbed. So even though I've written about half of that, too, I'm not sure if I want to go through with that.

So yeah, I'm playing around with lots of scenarios too! I really wanted to post it tonight, but with such little sleep, I think I might just have to write what I can and then go over it in the morning.

Weekend was entirely too short. Entirely. I came SO close to calling into work today. Karma kept me honest. Of course I was really doubting that decision when I was almost T-boned on my way in to the office. YIKES!

Is it 5 yet???

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

Yikes!!!

I think weekends are always entirely too short...

The weekend here was busy but wonderful. Owen's baptism was a great event. He giggled at the deacon each time he got any kind of blessing, which made the deacon giggle back at him. It was too cute! After the ceremony we had a huge party. So much fun :) Grandpa got to spend the day out of the rehab facility to celebrate and did very well. He's coming home again full time on April 1. By the end of the night I passed out due to a combination of too much excitement and too many malibu and pineapples :)

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Oh, yay for the wonderful baptism! Sounds like a lovely occasion :) (and especially great that your Grandpa could come and enjoyed himself).

[dreamchaser.livejournal.com]

I had a busy and fun weekend - my sister came over on Saturday, and yesterday, I was at a family birthday party.

I haven't decided if I want to write a homegame entry this week - I want to get some real life things cleaned up first.

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

My sister and I went to a movie The Lincoln Lawyer yesterday.That was a nice break from the routine.

Today is one of my daughter's birthday.

I have a couple of appointments. Never a dull moment!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Oh how did you like The Lincoln Lawyer? I'm reading the book right now and am thoroughly enjoying it... Connelly is one of my favorite authors. But when I saw the trailers for the film, I just had a hard time picturing Matthew McConaughey in the role. Have you read the book? How did he do in the role?

Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

I have my smiley baby back! His temperature has gone down, so the corners of his mouth are back up. I've done both my Idol entries, so I'm sorted for this week.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Both of them? Damn you're good.

Glad the wee one is feeling better. :-)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

My roomie and I had a domestic Sunday. I decided to do a bit of a cull in my closet, because I'm feeling itchy and changey but can't afford a new tattoo, so something had to give. I have now thrown out/bagged up to donate a good amount of clothing, including 29 t-shirts. That would almost be a feat if I didn't STILL have 82 t-shirts that I can't quite part with.

I feel like real adults don't have this problem.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

82??? And there's me lamenting the fact that I've left my ONE cookie monster t-shirt back in NZ!

I bet they're all awesome too.

Spring break is here... I can tell by the dark gray skies and the drizzle of rain.

I've been writing my entry in my head, again... funny how that is NEVER the final step. I wish!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Well.... until we develop technology that will transcribe our thoughts for us.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

Well I'm taking a sick day today. I felt sick last night (dizzy and a little sick to my tummy). I woke up today feeling light headed and weak. So I'm lounging around, might nap a bit if I can (while I'm sleepy, I'm also stressed). I'll try to take the time to write my Idol entry, plus I have some work from home to do.

The weekend was fabulous, as always though. Lots of resting and goofiness with java_fiend :)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

My poor honey. I sorry you're feeling bad today! Feel better soon, sweetheart. :-(

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

The weekend was good... there was no Dip-Daping or getting bombed out this way. Saw Battle:LA with the lovely (and now sick... boo) pixie117. Much relaxing and goofing off was had. So that can't be wrong. Also... I kicked her butt at Wii Jeopardy. Twice. :-) It *sorta* makes up for all of the devastating butt-kickings she's been delivering to me on Lexulous. I just can't beat her!!!

Oh... and my brackets went kerflooey over the weekend. Dammit. Stinkin' Butler. Jerks.

Hope everybody has a great day!!!

[beldar.livejournal.com]

I actually had Butler making the upset. What's blowing my mind is play-in team Virginia Commonwealth not just pulling upsets, but totally owning the court against the Hoyas and Purdue. I can see these guys going all the way at this pace.

[beldar.livejournal.com]

Entry -- DONE. I mentally ruminated on it last night before I went to sleep, and it came off my fingers easier than I'd expected this morning.

Otherwise our big accomplishment of the weekend was getting caught up on the second season of "Justified" -- seein' hillbillies in trouble almost makes me homesick. =)

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I only got to see a few episodes of the first season. Worth the Netflix???

[wookiewife.livejournal.com]

Weekend sucked pretty hardcore, honestly. I have stomach ~issues~ from time to time -- like this weekend. Me & the recliner rekindled our relationship.
But today has sucked way less because I GOT A MUTHERFARKING JOB!!!!! (Only took 13 months.) I start in two weeks, so now I'm freshening up my wardrobe and my hair. Yeehaw!

I forgot to play Home Game last week. I suck. This week, though, FOR SURE.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

AWESOME!!! Congrats!

So, what was up with me this weekend?

After my show Saturday night, I was feeling a little ill but I thought it was because I was hungry, so we got a late night breakfast meal.

Oh, mistake. Went home and felt awful for hours. Woke up around 7 on Sunday morning to feed Kitty Michaels and Grey Cat and vomited like crazy. CRAZEEE. Ten minutes of Kitty Michaels watching me thinking I had the worst hairball in history. Anyhow, I haven't been sick like that since the 80's, and only once then because of a stomach flu.

So, since there's been a stomach flu going around out here, I naturally assume that's what is going down. I spend Sunday in bed, barely able to drink water. I finally force down a pair of those Vitamin Water things over the course of about two hours and, around 3:30 am this morning, start sweating again. I feel much better.

Anyhow, I'm still woozy, so I call in to work this morning. Give my parents a call to say "Hey," and my mom mentions to me that my nausea problems sound less like stomach flu and more like a symptom of heart problems. It seems like this is a prudent thing to check out, so I go to my doctor today.

Holy cats, I get my first EKG and then he tells me "avoid stress and strenuous activity and also I'm ordering you a stress test." The EKG is normal, though I haven't had the stress test yet.

Then he prescribes me Nitroglycerin tablets.

"You probably won't need them, but keep them as a precautionary measure at all times."

These pills scare the daylights out of me. Apparently, he thinks I'm a wicked high risk for heart attack right now and these pills help with that. See, if I feel chest pain (which, I learned today, isn't pain so much as it is a feeling like somebody is sitting on your chest), I take one. If I'm not better in five minutes, I take another. If I'm not better five minutes after that, I take a third. If I'm still not better then, call an ambulance.

Oh, and take them sitting down, because you're likely to collapse after you take one due to the drop in blood pressure.

I mean, seriously, holy cats.

Meanwhile, he mentions I might want to consider checking in to the hospital. First thought: "I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY LJI ENTRY."

Second thought, "no, I'll just take it easy for a few days and the EKG is normal."

Anyhow, working on my LJI entry right now. Yikes. Long weekend.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I totally refreshed the GR 5 minutes after you posted this.

Telling you about those pills probably wasn't a good way to relieve stress :P

Take care of yourself, okay? I'm selfish and don't want to lose you from LJI over this.

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

I'm sick. I wrote my entry in a drugged up haze of being sick. I think it shows ;)
