I should be happy to be an aunt again

Posted 05-14-2007 at 12:49 AM by bonosloveslave
But selfishly I am sad, disappointed, and scared for my sister. I was the last one of our immediate family to be told, she was scared to tell me knowing that Karl would likely pitch a fit (which he did, but not to her).

The father is her manager (she is a waitress at a pizza place), she's known him for about 2 years but they've only been dating since January. She has been working a second job and going to school part-time. She has general health insurance but no maternity coverage....

Just a little worked up...

My crazy little sister - haven't found out yet how she found this pic of her on Yahoo:


"A Detroit Pistons fan cheers after the Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 84-82 in a second-round NBA basketball playoff game Friday, May 19, 2006, in Cleveland. The series is tied at three games each."

Karl is smarter than he looks (sometimes) :mad:

Posted 01-26-2006 at 03:53 PM by bonosloveslave
Karl turned 32 on Sunday, we were up north visiting my sister then so we had a belated celebration yesterday. I am horrible at giving gifts, I never have good ideas for what to give people. I was passing one of those mall perfume stores a few weeks ago, looked around, and the Bvlgari Black caught my eye.

Sources say this is Bono's cologne of choice so I thought, what the heck, Karl hasn't had a new cologne since before we got married, let's try something a little different. NOT...

My doctor actually wrote me an Rx to start drinking alcohol regularly!

Posted 12-24-2005 at 10:27 PM by bonosloveslave
I had a full physical yesterday, my doctor was asking me about lifestyle things, smoking/drinking/exercise etc. I am a very occasional drinker and *very* rarely drink to the point of being drunk. He literally wrote out on a prescription paper that I should drink at least 1 glass of wine or 1 bottle/can of beer or 1 shot of hard liquor AT LEAST once per week, and up to 1 per day. Something about helping to decrease risk of stroke......well if it's doctor's orders......

why why why

I found out today that one of the girls I used to work with (she quit about 4 months ago) commited suicide on Sunday, hung herself. She was only 22, with a 4 year old son.

Why do people think suicide will make things better? I understand that people who reach that point are not thinking clearly - and I know life was hard for her, being a young unmarried mom whose child has big health issues. But how does this make things better for anybody?

Why

So I've been labeled a groupie

Posted 10-04-2005 at 09:21 PM by bonosloveslave
I went to the dentist today to get a filling fixed. My sister is the new receptionist there, and apparantly she dished about my Chicago experience, camping out, etc. My dentist comes in and says, "So your sister tells me you've become a u2 groupie, I never would have pegged you for one of those crazies!"

What is a non-offensive way to describe what we are? When I hear groupies, I think of girls lined up outside of dressing rooms waiting to get it on with...

I actually entertained the thought of passing up the ellipse (*LONG*)

Posted 09-23-2005 at 01:58 AM by bonosloveslave
So I was definitely smoking crack when I even thought for a brief second that I might pass on going in the ellipse - see here:

I am actually worried that I had my best experience at my first Vertigo show, and the rest are probably not going to come close. Where do I start?

We arrived in Chicago around 4pm on Monday afternoon, checked in with Most Excellent Line Nazi Chizip...

Incredibly stupid impossible fantasies

Posted 09-16-2005 at 02:09 AM by bonosloveslave
So I only have 3-4 opportunities to try to make these things happen:

1. Be at front center outside rail
2. Get pulled up
3. Get an avatar like I have now but with *me* in the pic
4. Thank B for my cat-bat pic

I guess it can be fun to dream, but now that *my* first show of the tour is so close, I get the distinct feeling none of these things will happen. Maybe all the cool people I finally get to meet will...

D'oh!!!!

Posted 08-28-2005 at 06:02 PM by bonosloveslave
I set off the alarm at work tonight - it's really loud and scared the kitties

I am never here first thing in the morning, I am more likely to set the alarm at the end of the night. I wasn't in my usual routine, I had come back to the office for something. I punch in my code but the alarm is not turning off Then it starts blaring and buzzing - turns out I switched 2 of the numbers and didn't realize it Thank goodness I got ahold of my boss before the...

My role as aunt is off for the time being :(

Posted 08-24-2005 at 10:52 AM by bonosloveslave
My sister-in-law miscarried yesterday, we are all very sad

It's hard to know what to say in situations like this - and it sucks that she currently lives 1.5 hours away, it is not easy to get together But Karl and I are gonna drive out tonight and make her dinner, watch a movie - I wish I could think of some little gift to bring that might cheer her up a bit - I suck at gift-giving

She is wishing she hadn't told so many people she was pregnant,...

I am not a jungle gym

Posted 08-18-2005 at 11:01 AM by bonosloveslave
But the kittens in my office seem to think so - they keep climbing up my pant legs with their little velcro claws

They are darn cute though, only about 7 weeks old - a black boy and a brown-and-white tabby female

Auntie BLS part III

Posted 07-27-2005 at 03:54 PM by bonosloveslave
Karl's 26-year-old sister has announced her pregnancy, it will be the first grandchild for that side of the family (I have 2 nephews thanks to my sister). I'm happy for her - she really wanted this, and I think they have been trying since their honeymoon in April (yes only 3 months ago).

I've been married almost 7 years and still not hearing my biological clock ticking. I couldn't imagine having a baby on my first wedding anniversary, but that's just me I have an aunt...

A day at the spa, sponsored by my boss!

Posted 05-02-2005 at 09:23 PM by bonosloveslave
I have to go to work early tomorrow, but for a good reason - I'm meeting my boss to head to the local day spa!

She had promised me and the other doctor at the practice, a day at the spa for a Christmas gift - a little belated, I know. We will get a manicure, pedicure, massage, and some other treatment of my choice. She had signed me up for a facial, but I broke down today (horrible ungrateful wench that I am) and said please please please can we cancel my facial?!? ...

My head has turned into a small TV

Posted 04-29-2005 at 01:20 PM by bonosloveslave
I have vegged myself out this week - my first vacation since I started almost 1 year ago. I am finally caught up on all my TiVoed shows! CSI, Joey, Little House on The Prarie, Oprah - I'm really mad that it did not record ER last week for some reason

My plan was to get our house ready to put on the market, but I'm one of those types that gets overwhelmed easily and I have a tendency not to start if I don't think I can get it done. I have 2 areas all done out of 14. ...

A 3 year old genius - U2 related...

Posted 11-30-2004 at 12:09 PM by bonosloveslave
My nephew Jake will be 4 in February, he loves music but his current faves are Barney and The Wiggles

I don't think I've ever played u2 for him so I don't know what he would normally think, but the other day we had the TV on in the background and the Vertigo commercial came on. He started belting out "FEEL!!!!" at the end of the song and then proceeded to walk around the house repeating the 'yeah yeah yeah yeah' part for most of the afternoon ...
