the wee hours
Dammit!
While cleaning out spam from my pending comments, I was trying to also figure out why I wasn’t getting email notifications of comments like I used to, so I changed a few settings here and there. NONE of them said “Do you want your calendar to disappear?” My calendar is now gone. I didn’t touch anything that mentioned the word “calendar”, so it’s gonna take me a bit of time to figure this one out. I didn’t touch my template either, so I couldn’t have deleted the calendar. Damn, I hate nitpicky tech stuff like this. I’ve never been the kind of computer geek that likes to tinker with computers or files or anything that requires reading directions. I’m more internet geeky, although I may not even qualify for that anymore. Calendar, please come back. I miss you. All is forgiven.

Thanksgiving
Things I’m grateful for this year: Leigh-Ann, my parents, various family members (1.5 siblings, nieces, nephews, great-nieces & great-nephew, cousins, Auntie Edith, Leigh-Ann’s family); a roof over my head; cold AND hot water; 88 cent meals that actually taste good; ramen; Dyphenhydramine; Ibuprofen; Red Hots; Good ‘n Plenty; Smith’s cake slices; “Chuck”; books; “Raising Hope”; “Outsourced”; “Inception”; “Imagine Me and You”; the soon return of SYTYCD; a new love of DWTS (I <3 Jennifer Grey); tv in general; tap water that tastes good (Vegas water tastes like crap, but our well water tastes like…water); SuperZoo!!!; The Animal House in Pahrump; really awesome friends; social media that has helped me find long-lost friends, teammates, and classmates; the ability to type better than when I took typing in high school; a really awesome childhood that makes adulthood bumps in the road easier to accept; tweezers w/ handles; unintentional weight loss that gives me more pairs of pants to wear; recently found ear warmers from The North Face (must've been a long ago freebie); nice neighbors; the ability to see stars, planets and galaxies from the new house, earbuds that fit inside my ears (I hate Apple earbuds - can't even use them, they hurt so much), my iTouch, El Monterey burritos; good customer svc from Boulder Canyon Kettle Chips; Hunt4Freebies.com; the invention of instant coffee that tastes good; Starbucks Earl Grey Tea Lattes; Wal-Mart grape drink powder; celebs who actually tweet regularly and informally; and that's it for now.

Terrifying Forecast for a Southern NV City
OMG! This is alarming, especially since at our house, it can get ten degrees colder than the “official” temperature. Luckily, we don’t have any money, so we won’t be standing in line for Black Friday bargains. Must sleep through the lower than the teens temps.
P.S. A Southern NV city not in the mountains with a ski resort, that is.

Okay, So Jennifer Grey Won, But What About My Teeth?
It was such a fleeting satisfaction, watching Jennifer Grey win DWTS. And, with a ruptured disk yet - I could almost feel her pain. She must’ve been doped up something good to be able to dance like that, although you could see the stress on her face. I’m glad Kyle & Lacey came in second, too. A big “middle finger” to the white trash classless person from AK. Ack, is right.
I tried to go to bed, but couldn’t sleep, so I got something to eat. I thought there was some hard crunchy stuff in my food, which was weird. Yeah, uh, that was part of a molar. Considering I don’t have money or insurance, this may end up being a big problem. In the last six months, I’ve broken three teeth. The first two broke because my bite meets and I think all the years of wearing a groove into the middle of my two front bottom teeth finally did them in. They look really crappy if you look closely, but it’s merely cosmetic and not overly noticeable. However, my molar has a filling in it (well, what’s left of a filling), and it cracked off part of it down to the gum line. I fear pain and infection from it. Geez, not only do I still need to figure out how to get to the pain mgt doctor for everything else, now I need a dentist. Great. Happy holidays. This year can’t end too soon.

DWTS - Travesty or Age & Talent Over Clomping?
Okay, so I need a blog entry for today, plus I need a way to not see any spoilers from Dancing with the Stars, which puts me right here. As you can tell by my title, I think it’s disgusting that Bristol is still in this thing (oh, Brandy, you were cheated big time) and I’m hoping for a Jennifer Grey win for all of us oldish folks. I do like Kyle Massey and I wouldn’t have a fit if he won. He’s improved immensely, he’s fun to watch, and he seems like a nice kid. However, it’s always so nice to watch Jennifer’s incredible dancing week after week after week. I know that she’s had some dance training, but it isn’t nearly as much as people think. Also, she’s 50, has had multiple injuries, and has fought her way through them. Jennifer Grey for the win!
Now, I’m hungry. See you after the show, which seems to have been shot rather early today. There must be some huge punishment for those in the studio to not leak results.
While avoiding spoilers, I cleaned up my blogroll. Wow, it’s amazing how many big blogs are dead, dead, dead.
