I'm Ang.

I'm a 23-year-old married woman who followed her heart (and her husband!) to Nova Scotia, where I'm currently a housewife, planning my future. I'm a huge computer nerd, especially when it comes to video games. I'm a fan of lists and spend a lot of time making them, even if they have no purpose at all. Want to know more?

Just another day.

I slept most of today. I couldn’t get to sleep last night because I was up coughing. Today, I’ve pretty much lost my voice and Matt’s making me stay in bed, which I don’t mind. I need rest, anyway. Being sick again is no fun. He’s making fun of me for the voice, though. I can’t even explain how I sound. I squeak. It’s hilarious, really.

Anyway, I just told him that I’d be up just long enough to post, since I’m keeping up with my 90 days straight of blogging! Today marks day 30. One-third of the way there!

My birthday is in two days, which is all kinds of exciting. Not sure what we’re doing yet, though.

Anyway, back to eating my sub (yum!) and watching House!

I’m on a roll!

Today Matt and I put all of our CDs into new cases. Our cabinet is nice and organized now! So that’s one more thing off of my 101 things list. Two things in two days? I hope I can complete the rest of the list just as easily.

Today also marks day #29 of blogging every day for 90 days, another item on the list. I figured I was blogging every day for the past 28 days, so they should count!

Here is my progress so far:

So, today, I spent the day with Matt. He goes back to working tomorrow, so it was nice to spend the whole day with him. I played a bit of my Legacy family while he played some games on his computer, but we spent most of the day together. I’m getting sick again, so we took a nap and I whined a bit, but he was nothing if not attentive and sweet. I asked him if he’d make me a cup of tea, because he makes it different than I do, and he leaned down and kissed me and brought one down. How on Earth did I get so lucky? Seriously.

As for my Legacy family, Carrie (my heir from generation 3) has graduated college (4.0 average!) and moved back home to the Legacy family. All of her older brothers and sisters and one of her younger brothers has moved out, as well as all of her aunts and uncles. She and her husband are living with her grandparents, her parents, two of her brothers and her husband. They have a puppy, also. They had an older one, named “Pup,” but he passed on before she went to college. The house is a bit crowded but it’s fun to play anyway!

Right now I’m watching Four Brothers. This movie is by far one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Every time I watch it it keeps me on the edge of my seat, even though I know what’s going to happen. Another one of my favourite movies is Armageddon, which was on tonight, but at the same time, Signs happened to be on. Matt convinced me to watch that with him, and I must say I’m glad I did; it was a great movie! A bit creepy and I’m easily scared, so that was a bad combination, but if I was less of a fraidy-cat, it would have been an awesome movie.

Okay, I’ve been talking about movies for a whole paragraph, so you know what’s next. A connection. Nope, I just can’t help myself when I watch movies. Ever. So, here goes. The little girl in Signs, Bo, is played by Abigail Breslin (the sister of Spencer Breslin, in case you didn’t know), who looked incredibly familiar to me. Turns out, I’ve seen her much more recently than 2002. She was in Raising Helen, Princess Diaries 2 and The Santa Clause 3, all with her brother. That’s not how I know her, though. For those of you Grey’s fans out there, she was Megan Clover, the little girl who couldn’t feel pain, but believed she was a superhero, from “Sometimes a Fantasy”.

Okay, I’m officially a nerd. So sue me.

Time on a Parking Meter

I have completed something on my 101 things list. It’s just a small thing, but it made me feel happy. I put an extra half hour in the parking meter today, knowing I probably wouldn’t need it, but that someone else could use it. So, I get to cross “Leave time on a parking meter for someone.” off of my list!

Progress so far:

Day 28.

It’s done. Matt’s home. I’m in Heaven.

I picked him up from the airport and I had flutterbies. I didn’t think I would, I mean, he’s my husband! I’ve been living with him for a year now, we saw each other every day until he left… But they were still there. Seeing him made me so happy that I thought I was going to cry, but somehow I didn’t, so it worked out.

We stopped at the grocery store to pick up the rest of dinner, checked out the comforter I like at Linens ‘n Things, and then came home. We made a taco salad, came downstairs and laid in bed to watch the race. I fell asleep before it was over, and when I woke up, Matt was upstairs and he had almost finished cooking Dorito chicken. What an awesome surprise! He really is a great husband. I’m so glad to have him here with me again. It’s like when we first met, but a million times better.

What do you think of the theme? I have to work some more on the last one, since I got some awesome suggestions from Kendra on how to make it better. I’m determined to learn more as I go and get better at this. I’m so out of practice!

Anyway, my Sims family is calling me. Off to put the 3rd generation heiress into college!

PS: Somehow I’m still sick. How is this even possible?

Random Facts

I’m up, waiting for when I can leave to go to the grocery store and then pick Matt up, and so I’m back to stumbling around the internet. I came across a site of 301 Useless Facts and thought I’d share a few.

20. It’s estimated that at any one time around 0.7% of the world’s population is drunk.

38. Dr. Seuss pronounced his name “soyce”.

43. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they can pop out.

82. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

174. A “jiffy” is the scientific name for 1/100th of a second.

Baffling stuff, isn’t it?
