Coming clean and cleaning clothes
Friday August 20, 2004 – 8:52 am* I’m going to upgrade my frickin’ ExpressionEngine today if it KILLS me!
* Doing laundry right now. I keep thinking I smell cigarettes in here, it’s driving me kinda crazy!! So maybe that’ll help. Other than that, I’m doing great with the quitting. Haven’t cheated, not even once. Good for me. :-) I do get cravings every day, but less and less now, and they only last maybe 30 seconds per crave. I can ride those out for sure.
* I hope this doesn’t embarrass him to death, but Matthew is sooooo the guy in my castle dream, I had to come out and admit that to him or I might never have been able to sleep again. So I did, and it’s all okay now; we both like each other and wanna be good friends is all. Yup, dreams are wacky and I think this one is wacky like that, but it’s also very related to the guy’s quiet mastery of helping me with my domain (castle). He is also a dangerously addictive force on IM. He just sits there and eggs you on with "Uh huh… uh huh…" and I must fill the void with chatter. What kinda voodoo is that? He’s totally Oprah’ing everything outta me, it’s hilarious.
* Rob is a chat addict as well, and I informed him of that fact, and he agreed. Teehee. So, we’re all addicts, all three of us. But as long as we all know this about ourselves and try not to let it get TOO outta control TOO often…
* Clay is an e-mail and commenting addict. It took me awhile but I finally informed him of that fact and he readily agreed as well (ha ha!!). I think he’s scared to post anything here though at this point, so Clay? Do it! Do it! You gotta do it sometime, I promise I won’t throw lawn darts at you… vvvvvv
* I’m sleeping a little better now finally. Still waking up more than I should, but after 3 or 4 hours instead of 1 or 2. The insomnia has hit poor Harper now though… so dude, I recommend the Rooibos red tea for that. The kind I got is called Mist of the River Nile and it’s mmmm… mighty tasty. Go to My Place For Tea on Belmont just west of Clark. :-)
Back to laundry and stuff…!!

Ugh… in order to upgrade, I’m supposed to take the site OFFLINE ‘cuz it’s kinda complicated. Gonna wait till later when the clothes are folded, I’m done with practicing etc.

As has often been said about me in my online life… I am a man of few words. There just the right words though. I don’t think I’ve ever said uh-huh though… hmmmm.
But you’ve solved the castle mystery for everyone, haven’t you, and that’s the important thing :)

Oooh, I hope you’re not pissed I outed you!! :-o I’ll get around to having dreams about everybody else too, I’m taking applications now. ;-) And maybe you never say "uh huh", whatever it is, you say *just* enough to keep the other person talking, it’s a little scary.

Who me, scared? No, Edith, your valient struggle to quit has inspired me to try and curb my own addictive behavior of talking (to myself, really) endlessly here. (like I do to everyone everywhere, and I wonder, wonder where the time goes). So, I’ll keep the posts short and somewhat to the point. the point here is, uh, I forgot… Oh yeah, it feels so much more liberating to not have to remember to log in each time, too.
Oh yeah, I know one solution for me is to have my own blog, but then I’d piss away even more of my time talking to no one. At least here there’s a bunch of good people who all appreciate the music and up’s and downs of one Edith Frost & Her enchanted merry blogsters. blog life’s a lot like pre-school kids, each engaged in "parallel play" - each of us busy in our own little universe, in a cubby hole in own own little domain, sometimes playing together nicely, and sometimes we can get antsy, pissy, withdrawn or crazy. But we can all make-up, too.

Yes, I’m a chat addict. Some days I’m worse than others. With my powerbook keyboard acting all wonky, I’m less chatty than usual.

My name is Edith Frost and I am a chat addict and a recovering nicotine addict!
