A few things I considered writing full posts on today but made into bullets instead

- Our Rumble With Atmos Energy. Our meter apparently got all wonky last month, so the Atmos Powers That Be had to estimate our last two bills. December: $35; January: $520. In short, Atmos Energy should never enter one of those Guess How Many Gumballs Are in The Jar contests.

- The Mystery of the Disappearing Tequila. We had a practically full bottle of tequila in our garage (what, that's not where YOU keep your tequila? strange) and now we don't, and apparently there is an alcohol-loving thief on the loose in small-town Texas. LOCK UP YOUR BOOZE.

- I tried Level 2 of the 30-Day Shred last night. And then I died.

- It's supposed to snow on Friday. I couldn't see my screen through my tears to finish that post.

- Style Lush is still kicking ass, taking names, but there's one little thing I didn't take into account when I launched the site: that I would never be able to afford 95% of the fantastic things featured, and that's really a shame.

- How Kyle strangely threw up on himself the other night, twice, without ever waking up. He just sat up (eyes closed), puked, let me wash him off and change him and then went back to bed (then repeated all that an hour later). He seemed fine the next day (and today). Why is parenting so effing strange (and gross, my god)?

- ELIZABETH IS HAVING A GIRL!

- Life Unexpected, One Tree Hill, Friday Night Lights (or maybe I considered devoting an entire post to each)

- Mike is making Kyle's cake for his birthday party. I came home last night to an episode of Hoarders: Post-Baking Kitchens Edition. 

- I'm putting together a video for Kyle's first birthday, and it's 1) HEARTBREAKING and 2) difficult as shit to sift through THOUSANDS, I AM NOT KIDDING, of photos. It's also hard to pick out songs to dub over the video that other bloggers haven't already used. Annoying.

- Are you going to BlogHer '10? I am! Show yourselves, so I can start memorizing faces now!

I am debating the BlogHer thing.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait.
Is FNL coming back on?! Why was I not alerted? I must be reunited with my imaginary boyfriend Tim Riggins AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

[Elsha]

Ah Atmos. I always forget to pay the bill on time because it's due some much earlier in the month than our others, but they don't charge a late fee so I'm really not inclined to change my ways.

[Vos]

Hooray for cake making, no hoorays for messy kitchen aftermath.

[Maggie]

WAAAAIIIIT. FNL. Am I not catching FNL because my husband keeps screwing with our TiFaux? AM I? Someone will have to pay.

[Jess]

I laughed so hard reading this post. I don't know what it was! Something about lock up your booze plus then you died plus you couldn't see through your tears.

1. We (um, accidentally) left a toilet running. For 10 days. While we were in SD. (I'm still twitching over it, and not just from the Ha-UGE water bill, but also all the water WASTE.)

2. BlogHer... I know I've already mentioned this to you... but EEEEEEK. I don't have any people! Turns out, I *am* one of those girls who needs a group of other girls to go with me to the bathroom.

[Marie Green]

(and by "girls", I mean "women", naturally.)

[Jen]

I'm going to BlogHer! I''m rooming with Kerri Anne and Angella, hotel already booked! Just need to find a smoking deal on a flight to NYC. I hope we can connect in NYC at the end of May, too, for BEA. :)

[natalie]

Is Molly sneaking into the garage and drinking your tequila? Smart girl. And I'm with Marie on BlogHer... I gots no people! But I do love NYC, so that might be enough to get me there.

[Mrs. D]

I hate those estimate things! Once got a bill for $790. I almost died.

"Hoarders: Post-Baking Kitchens Edition" - hahhahahahaha. Hilarious image.

Oh, God, don't talk about the baby birthday thing. Madeline is going to be two in two weeks and I just cannot fathom it. I have to buy her Abby Cadabby cake pan this weekend and I think that I will cry in the store.

I HATE the electricity estimate, which is why I bought into the YEARLY estimate (budget billing), which takes my previous year and gives me one amount each month. No surprises, ever. LOVE.

Oh and also? I LOVE Style Lush. I can't get through a day without checking it out at least once. Awesome stuff and great writing.

[Anne]

I am still on level one of 30DS, working on trying to do it multiple days in a row without dying. The thought of trying level two scares me!

I will be at Blogher, indeed! I need to put an updated picture of me on the internet, it seems, but my twitter profile has a slightly old one that still looks like me now (http://twitter.com/Annabelle_me)

[Wonderspot]

Oh my God! The same thing happened to one of OUR bottles of Tequila. Well, it wasn't in the garage, and I'm pretty sure the house-sitter just had too much fun, but still! Missing booze! Nuts.

Not BlogHer for me, bummer, but it's for a good reason as I will most likely still be recovering from delivery then.

[Kristie]

If I admit to stealing the tequila will you stop talking about it? Haha!

I'll NEED some tequila when the snow comes. What IS it with Texas these days?!

[Heather]

Ahhh...energy companies. Hate them. Hate them. Hate them. Maybe it will snow later in the day, and be gone by Saturday.

*I* took your tequila. Couldn't help it. Needed a fix. :)

[Natalie]

are you friends with zach & jess on facebook? if so click their baby pictures of Caroline, I really like the "baby"song they have with their pics.

[Katy]

Life Unexpected? Must begin Googling ASAP. I see you're a fan of the teen drama like me.

Blogher? Hmmmm. . . not sure I'm quite gutsy enough.

I'm going to BlogHer! We can hug! (unless that creeps you out, then a hearty handshake it is)

That blows about your meter. In upstate NY where I used to live, they did estimated bills based on power usage for the previous year. Then, in June, they evened it out. We got slapped with an $1100 power and gas bill. Yeah.

Level 2 is KILLER. Plank position can blow me.

[Jen L.]

PS: If the only reason people aren't going to BlogHer is that they don't have people, I WILL BE YOUR PEOPLE! I lived in NYC for 7 years. It's home to me. Let me show you it. I'll hold your hand and go to the bathroom with you and hold your purse while you pee.
