Running With Scissors.(Formerly HippoRastaPotamus)

The other day I saw this on the diningroom table and I got all excited; I just absolutely looooove these shortbread cookies from Scotland, exactly the way I remember my aunt making them when I was a kid, a bit of flour but mostly butter. I can still picture her kneading it. When she died I asked my cousin for the recipe,too, but she didn't know and sadly it died with my aunt but these taste exactly the same except they're hard to find(or so I thought) and I could only find them at Christmas and Mother's Day.

Until now.

I eagerly scarfed one down....and then realized they were the 30 YR old's, even though they weren't on his spot, but I didn't feel guilty( not even a bit) because he's always taking MY stuff, and I asked him where he found them and he said they're at ALL the grocery stores in the cookie section so I told my hubby, as it turned out he was just looking in the wrong section all this time, but I mean, where else would you expect to find cookies other than in the cookie section? I mean, for someone so smart he can be really dumb sometimes, I swear to God....

Speaking of him, yesterday I added something on the computer calender we both share and I noticed also on there was the youngest goes to Montreal today thru Monday with his friend and his family so I reminded my hubby(who had forgotten,naturally) and he goes, That's not until May! and I told him, Well, you're the one that wrote it down! and so he checked, and sure enough....

I WAS RIGHT.

I even reminded him last week,too.

Just like I usually am, only no one ever listens to me.

Then he goes, Why don't I ever listen to you?

me: I dunno....maybe because you're stupid?

me: Du bist ein dummlich!

him: I can't disagree with that!

What the f*ck is this?

What happened to spring?

It snowed yesterday afternoon( quite heavy,actually) and then we got hail and freezing rain and ice pellets and then torrential rain( 20 mm or so) with thunder and lightning. Today it's supposed to clear up in the afternoon and go up to 16 C so Buddy and I might finally even be able to get back outside! Yahoo!! Some people still have power off too from the weekend ice storm! One of my cousins in Europe and a couple of his friends are also now in L.A and San Francisco on a trip, likely at least a 12 HR flight for them, and I had really baaaad abdomenal cramps yesterday and The Shits and today it's really baaaad abdomenal pain,and so bad it's the kind of pain that just makes you wince, suck in your breath ,gasp, and double over in pain, but I know it's NOT an obstruction because I can still go shit.

The 30 YR old also kept telling me to go away, saying how bad my breath smells and how I'm always "so loud" it sounds like I'm yelling, etc. even though I'm not and I guess I just talk loud because I don't hear well and don't even realize I'm talking loud and my "bad breath" is probably because I eat alot of garlic, smoke a lotta weed, and maybe because I also likely have a nasal/sinus tumour. Regardless, I'm always getting criticized all the time for something, making me always feel like I'm some sort of repulsive swamp creature or something, and it seems like just my entire personality and mere existance invites criticism.
