Ugh

Hushbear is still really sick. He’s so weak that he checked back into the hotel for some more sleep. That’s not good. He’s been sick for 3 days now. He needs to go in to the doctor, but I’m not sure that he will do that.

Tonight he and the DH are supposed to take the train from Moscow to Saint Petersburg. Lovely. I think he might have the norwalk virus and he has medication but I’m really worried about dehydration. Ugh. If I had gone he would have been seen by a doctor already.

80s

This is one of those you know “You grew up in the eighties when…” things, but I thought it was funny

  • You had a crush on one of the New Kids on the Block members. I love Joey 4-ever!

  • You wanted to be on StarSearch. My friend Chastity was!

  • You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before surgery. I had a poster of him on my wall when I was little

  • You wore a banana clip or one of those slap on wrist bands at some point during your youth. Until they outlawed them at my school in the fifth grade -fun killers

  • You wore french rolls on the bottom of your splatter painted jeans. Oh yes, I did!

  • You had slouch socks, and puff painted your own shirt at least once. I don’t remember puff painting anything, but hells yeah to the slouch socks!

  • You owned a doll with ‘Xavier Roberts’ signed on it’s butt. My first one was named Elizabeth, Brock had Burt Murdle (or something like that) I also had twins and two babies (one was black)

  • You knew what Willis was “talkin’ ’bout.” I never really liked that show

  • You know the profound meaning of “Wax on, Wax off.” Ralph Macchio also played Johnny in The Outsiders

  • You can name at least half of the members of the elite “Brat Pack.” I can name most of their movies too

  • You can remember watching full house and saved by the bell for endless hours.

“What ever happened to predictability? The milk man, the paper boy, evening tv.”

“By the time I grab my books and I give myself a look I’m at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by.”

  • You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock.

  • You know that another name for a keyboard is a “Synthesizer.” I also know that a guitar/keyboard combo is called a keytar.

  • You hold a special place in your heart for “Back to the Future.” Only 1 & 2, 3 sucked. I even got the sunglasses from pizza hut when I went to get my Book It reward.

  • You know where to go if you “wanna go where everybody knows your name.” I was singing this to Hushbear right before he left for Russia.

  • You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool. I wish I could put lipstick on using only my boobs.

  • You know what “Sike” means. Is that how you spell that?

  • You fell victim to 80’s fashion: big hair, crimped, combed over to the side, and you wore spandex pants. You should reference my fourth grade picture on this one.

  • You wanted to be a Goonie. Sixteen thirty two . What is that? A year?

  • You’ve heard of Garbage Pail Kids. Duh.

  • You knew “The Artist” when he was humbly called “Prince.”

You don’t have to be beautiful to turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn

You don’t need experience

To turn me out

You just leave it all up to me
I’m gonna show you what it’s all about
You don’t have to be rich

To be my girl

You don’t have to be cool

To rule my world
Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
…kiss

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me

You can’t be to flirty, mama
I know ho
w to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine

You just leave it all up to me

We could have a good time

  • You actually saw Ted Danson as the MacDaddy he played “Sam” to be. Rebecca was so not his type
  • You ever wore fluorescent -neon if you will clothing…(or nailpolish) I had fluorescent everything! (Including Zinc Oxide)
  • You could breakdance, or wished you could. The kid around the corner from us could and it was so awesome!
  • You know all the words to “ice ice baby”. Yo, VIP let’s kick it!
  • You remember M.C Hammer. I was sad for him when he was on the Surreal Life
  • You can still sing the rap to “Fresh Prince of BelAir”. I can do you one better, I still know the lyrics to “Parents just don’t understand”
  • You own any cassettes. I might still have a New Kids tape somewhere
  • You remember and/or own any of the CareBear Glass collection from Pizza Hut. I’m out on this one
  • You carried your lunch to school in a Gremlins or an ET lunchbox. Nope, mine were very girlie
  • You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female smurf. Gargamel created her, plus there was Sassette eventually
  • You know what a Doozer is. Shouldn’t this be near the Fraggle Rock one?

  • You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt stylish. Again, see fourth grade picture
  • You ever had a Swatch Watch. Um…”a” Swatch Watch? I don’t know where you’re from, but you had to have multiple on at the same time.
  • You actually spent countless hours trying to perfect the care-bear stare. I’ll admit to nothing of the sort.
  • You had a crush on one of the Coreys (Haim or Feldman). Haim if I have to choose, but I was more of a Chad Allen girl.
  • You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny. Not really, I was young in the eighties, I didn’t really watch SNL
  • You had WonderWoman or Superman underoos. Don’t think so…
  • You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween. I was a punk rocker and a kitty cat
  • You Believed that “By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!” Brock & I watched this every Saturday
  • You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye. Ditto
  • You know what a “Whammee” is. (“No Whammy, no whammy, stop!!”) Nope
  • Partying “like it’s 1999” seemed SO far away. Two thousand zero zero party’s over, oops out of time.

I would like to add the following things:

  • Jellies
  • Sticker books
  • Baby-sitters Club
  • Crimped hair
  • Banana clip
  • Lee Press on Nails
  • Pound Puppies
  • Thundercats
  • Punky Brewster
  • Reading Rainbow
  • Jump Rope for Heart
  • Pillow People
  • L.A. Gear
  • You Can’t Do That on Television
  • Hypercolor shirts
  • Atari
  • Super Mario Brothers
  • Duck Hunt

I almost forgot, this list should include understanding what “I carried a watermelon! I carried a watermelon?” is from.

Hair, puppies, reading, exams, Hushbear

First hair. I went in for the first time since August to get my hair did. My stylist moved to the Upper Hand in River Oaks. She goes by Ashley there. If you are looking for someone, she is awesome. I adore her. She does such a good job every time.

I love the Upper Hand. It’s so pretty and cozy there. everyone was so nice too. I really liked Beautique, but there’s something about the Upper Hand that makes it better. They put a lot of thought into the decor and it shows.

On to puppies. The puppy lady emailed me again today. Hushbear decided he wants the smaller of the two girls. Our vet’s office said that size really doesn’t matter. She said that the small one may catch up with the others, or may stay small.

The puppy lady is going to email me pictures on Sunday so I can look at them again and make my final decision. The litter is getting their tails docked then, so I have to pick one before they go in. I suggested getting both girls, but Hushbear wasn’t keen on the idea. My argument of litter mates growing up together was ignored.

Reading. Oh, all the reading. I am never going to catch up. Seriously, like never. I am going to spend my entire spring break doing the reading I can’t do now for my US history class. Now Dr. S has me leading another discussion on Wednesday, so I have to read his book more carefully than I would have otherwise.

Now exams. I bombed the adolescent psychology exam I took on Thursday. I thought I had studied enough, but the questions were quite difficult. One of the 5 point short answers I couldn’t remember at all so i just left it blank. I thought about writing a note about how I can remember glancing at that in the book but couldn’t remember it enough for the exam. Then I remembered that this is a psychology test and the grader would analyze why I felt the need to explain that. We would get into social desirability and my childhood and that’s just too messy.

I have to take my Dr. S’s Comparative Revolutions exam from last semester on Wednesday, so that will leave me with just the Modern France one left. Here’s the problem. I gave myself today off and now I have to study for the comp rev exam and do the reading this weekend when all I really want to do is catch up on my sleep.

Hushbear is in Moscow and is still very sick.

Next post will be another Facebook game.

sick Hushbear

Hushbear made it to Russia, but got sick on the plane. He threw up in the cab (managed to get the door open first) and is now in the hotel shivering and nauseous.

I wish I were there to take care of him. He doesn’t do well when he’s sick. He didn’t even take the Phenergan I packed for him until right now. Yikes. He’s upset about wasting a day in Moscow. I’m upset that the plane food appears to have made him sick.

How to choose? Also…3 posts in one day!?! WTF??

The puppy lady emailed me. There are two girls in the litter. She sent pictures. One is bigger than the other. How on earth do you choose?

Ok, I am adding Zöe to the list.

Russia sucks

Hushbear leaves for 10 days in Russia tomorrow. Well, I guess it’s today actually. I really, really, really wish he could skip this trip. He just got back from LA and he won’t even be finished with traveling after this trip.

At least he’s going with his bestie. They should have fun looking at Husbear’s old hood.

Enough to make you puke

The Osteen machine is in full spin mode. What the hell is going on now? It’s been quite a while since she attacked the flight attendants, now they’ve got this fluff piece in the Chronicle.

Seriously, it’s enough to make you puke.

The FAA fined her $3000 and if the flight attendant hadn’t been so greedy, she probably would have gotten a settlement. Is an affair about to come out or something?
