chai cha cha

first of all, apparently chai can CAUSE tummy aches as well as calm them.  blaaaaahhhh.  i was tired of drinking mt dew & water, so i made a chai cooler & now my tummy is saying, "nooooo!"  poor tummy!  i'll feed it some more dew & see what it says about the bubbles.  *laugh*  


anyway!  this weekend has been so amazingly relaxing and nice!  yesterday i went over to mom's to play w/ her & leyton (more bubbles!  crashy alien toy!  pizza from casey's mmmmm...)  leyton was in his "i didn't get a nap today" kinda mood, which i did okay w/ except when he kicked me in the head.  :(  my head is very sensative in any case - to the point where i had to explain to ppl in school why they needed to tap my shoulder instead of my head in "heads up 7up" - but having my glasses kicked off has to be one of my least favorite experiences to date.  eeep!  thankfully his snits didn't last very long, and he was once again my sweet little nephew, but ... yeah.  moral of that story is that mom needs to make sure the kid gets at least an hour nap!  lol  (to be fair, and so you don't think she kept him up intentionally (not that you wold think that) she did TRY for nap time, but he was too wound up.)  


today i read Born of Fire for a good portion of the day.  watched Super Mario Bros. & two Incredible Hulk movies, The Incredible Hulk Returns and The Trial of the Incredible Hulk.  Erik Allen Kramer is one of my favorite yet least talked about actors.  Dude was Thor in Returns, Little John in Men In Tights (need to own that movie, btw...let me know if anyone sees it on sale on DVD!), and was THE reason i watched The Hughleys, even tho i like DL Hughley, too.  AND, as i was just imdb-ing him, he is going to be in the upcoming Thor movie starring chris hemsworth.  !!!!  : )  


there is just something ... awesome ... about thor, and since that's the first role i remember him in, that's who he always is to me!  heh.  (the fact that i am a nerd has been established way too many times for you to even be surprised by this.  LOL)  


anywhoo!  after my hulk marathon, i hopped online & watched rookie blue (best new show outta canada, peeps!) and what would you do? and of course big brother.  woooot!  i love chatting w/ the other ppl watching, too, it's great to see different perspectives.  some of them (and my mother) just adore rachel & brendan, thinking they are the underdogs & the whole house is needlessly ganging up on them.  from everything i've read in the transcripts, though, they brought it on themselves and while i'm sure they are lovely ppl... i'm not rooting for them at all!  i'm rooting for the brigade!  yep yep.  


my plan was to be done w/ the blogs by 11 so i could read for an hour before going to bed at 12.  since it is currently 11:40 as i type this, you can tell that plan went ary.  awry?  a-rye!  how do you even spell that?  anyway, not gonna worry about it (i know, i know, so unlike the human dictionary, i'm sorry if i've disappointed you! *laugh*).  just wanted to say that as i was reading all my updates i had a comment from marianne that she got my surprise when she arrived home from her vacation.  yay!  i do so love sending mail & surprising ppl (and getting surprises in the mail, thanks, APRIL, always!!).  i'm a horrible mailer when it comes to packages, tho, because it involves going to the PO, and - as discussed many times before i'm sure - they're only open when i'm at work.  there are other places i could go to mail the packages, but due to the panic of not knowing exactly where to go or the ppl there or whatnot... yeah.  so i always feel quite accomplished when i actually get packages out & they arrive at their intended destinations.  : )  


and on that note, i am going to read for probably 1/2 an hour & get to bed at 12:30.  have been away from my book for toooooo long!  also, there are storms a coming & i am praying that w/ all the hail & heavy rain & lightning they're predicting that the power stays strong.  it's quite sultry out there, and while my house is an icebox NOW, idk how long that would last w/o the constant stream of air from my AC & fans.  or the constant pulling for the AC.  i know how it works (thanks to holly!) but it's still blowing cold air at me.  *laugh*  


have a great night & i hope everyone's monday is blessed!  : )  


ttfn!
