Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I had some weird iTunes fugue thing happen and I may or may not have just bought and downloaded some 289 songs... Right now Donna Summer followed by Vance Joy. I'm having a good night.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Never slept. No, not insomnia or pain. Or at least not physical pain. Instead it was psychic pain. The pain caused by a kid who has read some blogs and can say things like "evil imperial plans" when discussing sending aid to Africa for the Ebola outbreak and can insist that most if not all military should be arrested for war crimes and put in prison but, of course, has no actual working knowledge of said military and lumps everybody together and calls me biased. And ignorant. Ignoring that my spouse is retired military. And uses multiple ?????? when asking questions to make them questionier. Which actually was the thing that made me twitch. Did I mention still a teenager? And somehow me mentioning that the military contains bunches of marginalized groups and oppressed groups made me a chauvinist. Anyway. My brain hurts. I'm going to eat chocolate and listen to Walken read Where The Wild Things Are to clean my brain.

via Facebook... I just ate so much of Maggi 's banana bread that I'm slipping into a carb coma. I didn't cut off a slice like a normal human being. I broke off a hunk. Almost-midnight snack requires no manners!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I need your input, oh wise Facebook friends.... At what point does evening food turn from second supper to midnight snack to first breakfast? The Teen says a certain amount of sleep must happen for food to be considered breakfast and/or it must be past 4am. I said if it was the last slice of pizza (cold) or a sandwich that would fall under midnight snack, but a cooked meal is second supper before midnight or first breakfast after midnight. Begin....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Okay... think maybe I'll go LOOK at the laundry, fold one or two items, feel tired, and join the dog pile on the bed. It's a plan.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Nap, video games, or laundry folding? Why hasn't someone moved in with me to fold laundry and do other part time adulting yet? I PAY IN CHOCOLATE AND BOOZE! Also books. PM resumes. Must be able to fold laundry, put laundry away, throw tennis balls, play tug, willing to share food with dogs. Occasional other part-time adulting as needed.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... So, um...you all share your breakfast with your dogs, right? And they all politely eat off forks like well behaved dogs? That totally isn't weird at all? right? RIGHT?!?!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Steve, I want the breakfast in bed! Which is useless if I have to get out of the bed to cook it. Yes...I'm going into your kitchen. I'm turning on the stove. I'm using the frying pan things. Yes sir, I am. And you cannot stop me. So there. Pffffffft. I am cooking all the things. Ha. Blame the Teen, he said no. I'll send you a copy of the insurance report....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Blacklist Netflix marathon. Plus cuddles. Life is freaking wonderful.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I was about to get up and do something all useful but a cat sat upon me so now I am cat furniture.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I want food. But I'm tired. But if I try to sleep I'll just think about food. But I'm so tired. Moments when I really miss Steve <3

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... The famous peanut butter bacon cookies! It was hard to get a shot of the dogs eating them as they more inhaled them...the bone shape was an excellent touch :) Requests for cookies and/or recipes go to Maggi, who has won the hearts of my dogs!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Some lucky pirate got a package of peanut butter bacon cookies! They were Omnomnomed up and, I will share, quite tasty. Pictures to follow, but they have been canine approved! Thanks Maggi!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Don't wanna, don't hafta, not gonna. Pfffft. Pffffft I say.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... So you ever have that moment when someone suggests doing something really random and you're like "oh, you don't have to pay for that, I totally used to do that and I still have the stuff!" And it occurs to you that you've had a really really bizarre life filled with the oddest moments? That.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... That's it for today. Done adulting. I'll be in my room being a burrito if anyone needs me....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... There are more painfully boring things than hospital waiting rooms, but not many.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Ha, no sleep.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... SLEEP!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... A beloved friend has made for Timber.... Peanut butter bacon cookies. I repeat: peanut butter bacon cookies. For Timber. I have the best friends EVER!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Anyone want to move in and adult for me? Just for a little bit? I want a vacation from adulting. Enjoying or at least not minding cleaning and fixing random things a plus. There will be booze of assorted kinds and chocolate. Send resumes and samples of adulting...

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I think I'm going to watch all the netflicks and eat all the things.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I'm in an angry stabby HULK SMASH mood. I need pictures of funnies and quirkies and kittens and SQUEE...STAT!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... A few things: 1. If anyone, especially someone claiming to be a trainer or having some level of knowledge about dogs, recommends that the solution to a puppy--A PUPPY--barking and nipping at the front door when someone knocks and you use your hand to push them back (can anyone tell me what's wrong here to begin with?) is to PICK THEM UP BY THEIR NECK AND CHOKE THEM you should run, run the the fuck away as hard as you can and never let that person near your dog again. 2. If you want to try and defend that training method, please just unfriend and block me now. Thanks.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Funny story. My ENT tells me I should avoid going outside. On the grass. I must have given him a Look, because he asks how often I go out. "Often", I say. "I have dogs." "They don't sleep with you, do they?" he asks in a rather horrified tone. He gets The LOOK. "Well, can you wash them before bed?" My eyebrow goes up. "Every night? All of them?" "At least wash their paws every time they come in...." We agreed to just pretend the whole conversation never happened.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... My dad got the isomething to put his music on and had to get the iTunes so now he goes to Panera to eat a danish and connect to the interwebz and, as he informed me, "get synched up". When he isn't in the mood for pastry he goes to the library. He's hasn't bought anything, he's just burning years of discs. The Apple guy had to create an email for him to create an iTunes account for him. I love my dad :)

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Okay, migraine hangover decided to morph into full migraine. But I know what it is and how to manage it, so yay me! Ouch....shhhh....yay me,,,, On the plus side my nephrologist gave me an A+ and I don't have to see him for 6 months. So Pfffft. But I haz no ice cream. And that is downright tragic.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Time to get ready to see the doctor...which one today? Nephrologist!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I'm...I'm thinking of clearing out some of my books. I'm okay, really. No fever, just...not homeschooling anymore and so many books that were justified as maybe one day...plus I don't read them all anymore. Sigh. Who wants books? Even better...who wants to move in for a week or two, help me clean up my house, and take boxes of books as payment? Food, coffee, cats and adult beverages included, she added hopefully. Pm me if you might want books. Maybe I'll put together a list. Maybe I'll just box up shelves of genres. Depends on my mood. Maybe I'll change my mind and keep them all! It's happened before....

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Timber and Misha approve of pot roast and baked potato. We are members of the clean plate club.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Watching Timber make faces while he doesn't eat a piece of celery is the funniest thing ever.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Okay, enough couch. Migraine med and bed. And cuddles. Rainy days and Mondays are winning this round. And maybe chocolate.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... I lied. I left the bed and I'm curled up on the couch under a blanket with two dogs and a cat eyeing my lap. I feel like I accomplished something. Yay me!

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... First BlueApron meal: salmon over tomato chutney. Cooked by R.j. Amazingly yummy.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Race was fun! A bit loud. Glad I had headphones. Next time better planning...arrive earlier, softer seats, fill cooler better. But quite enjoyable.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Thing that actually happened: Visiting friends when a young neighbor of theirs wanders over to see what the party is about. A few people are dancing, I'm sitting in a group chatting, I look up and say to the newcomer "oh, you should go dance" "Hey, you got a man here?" Eyebrow raises "No." "I'll let you feel my abs." Side eye and ignore. Later as the party winds down he comes over and asks for names, I turn to the Teen and say "What's a good name to give him?" "Now why would you give me a fake name?" "Because anyone rude enough to pull a 'wanna feel my abs' doesn't deserve my name." "What? I didn't say that!" Now no one else had really heard him, but at this point the Teen speaks up, "On yes you did." And related it verbatim. Everyone just stares at ab guy. Ab guy slowly slinks always. It was pretty awesome. We're still laughing about it.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... That thing...moti, motiv, moto... Motivation. That's it. I don't have any.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... So Timber gave birth to a lovely Tribble today. It really needs a home, so anyone interested in adopting please contact me...experienced owners only, I hear they can be trouble.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... We had the thunder last night. Which means I had a Misha crawl up and try to get inside my skull through under my chin. She finally settle for cutting off blood and air to my head and just needed me to rub her snoot and kiss her nose for several hours. I'm really, really tired.

Darlene Pineda

via Facebook... Awake early. Not like.

via Facebook... My animals tend to cluster around me anyway, but today I'm not feeling well and they are playing Tetris to be able to touch me. On the plus side it's been almost a week since a headache. I love my neurologist.
