Quite a few peeps have reached out to me after this blog went silent (y’all need to find some hobbies), and so at the insistence of you poor misguided fools, I shall attempt to keep blogging. [just kidding, you know I love you guys]
Not really much has happened. Ditched the boyfriend, but managed to make him believe it was his idea because I really didn’t want to hurt him, as he had low self esteem to begin with.
A few good things have happened recently, the first being finally able to listen to Tool on Spotify.
Tool also released a new album after a 13 year hiatus, knocking Taylor Swift off the #1 spot on the music charts, which was wildly entertaining simply for the shock and confusion amongst her fans. It’s about time great music made it onto the charts again.
Niecey-G, the youngest of all the nieces and nephew, STARTED FECKING HIGH SCHOOL last week. Like wat. I was changing her diapers a year ago, I swear. Big Sis#2 is not taking it very well, as Niecey-G was her only baby and she has reached the age where she would much rather hang out with her friends than with her mother.***
Niecey-G had some issues with nasty girls in her friend group towards the end of the last school year, so I have been teaching her the ways of Ultimate Assholery. She has so far perfected Resting Murder Face, and the uncomfortably-long-condescending-non-blinking-glare. I’m also giving her a crash course in behavioural psychology to both read people’s minds based on little behaviours, and use that knowledge to control them.
Much more important stuff than the rubbish they teach you in school. The education system in this country is a joke. I am living proof of this.
In other news.......
despite generally being the throwaway child and most likely candidate for Dad's Least Favourite Child, I have been catapulted to the position of The #1 Favourite. All because I discovered that NBC has an app that lets me watch all the Premier League games LIVE.
I used to obsessively follow English football, until like ...2010? when our cable package ditched the foreign sports channel unless we paid for like 8 channels no one would watch. So no more football.
But now Dad--who tried relentlessly to get both brothers into soccer--has someone to watch footie with every weekend. Someone who supports the same team he does.
That's it for now, I think. The Christmas decor will not be coming down, as by the time I actually make an autumnal banner, it will probably be Easter 2020. If any of you actually read this, let me know how you're doing.
*Big Sis#2 has finally had to shell out $100+ she doesn’t have to buy Niecey-G a graphing calculator that will never see daylight once Niecey-G is done with high school.

Hiya, Mich! Good to read a post from you. Things are chugging along in my neck of the woods. x
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!
ReplyDeleteSurprised that you have to teach teenage girls Resting Murder Face, and the uncomfortably-long-condescending-non-blinking-glare. I assumed that was just automatically developed at age 13.
Lol, like Joeh I though all girls of that age group absorbed all of that stuff by osmosis. I think I need that resting murder face one though. You see, there's this woman at work........oh, never mind.
ReplyDeleteBut is it great, fabulous, exciting, refreshing and relieving to hear from you again (she says in her best mom voice).
It's a good thing Neicy-G has you to teach her the skills that actually matter.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
so so so SO SO SO (ok I'm done) happy to read you again :) thanks for updating!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you again, especially since things seem calmer now.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a post by you again, the list of things I can't do is greater then the list of things I can do now days
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're alive and well. It is a shock when the youngest starts HS. And in four short years, she'll start college :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your blog is back! xo
