Home again, where I am FURIOUS because after all of this bitching about my camera not working and me not having the money to buy a new camera or a cable for Greg's, I think the only thing wrong with the camera is that I bought shitty batteries. So here's a big FUCK YOU WALGREEN'S AND YOUR SHITTY ASS BATTERIES, YOU FUCKING SHITS. I don't even know what pictures I CAN'T upload, because the batteries won't work long enough to turn on the LCD, let alone browse the menu. Again, FUCK YOU WALGREEN'S. Done now.
Spent the night at Tracey and Jason's house so the two of them could spend a rascaly evening out at a wedding reception and I could hog the piano while the girls literally ran circles around each other. Fun highlights: Maddie, Juli, and Ava (!) playing Let's Bonk Heads, which consists of the three of them headbutting each other and then saying, "OW!" before breaking into fits of giggles (except Ava, who can't say "ow" yet, but will soon learn if this game keeps up); Maddie, telling Jason first thing this morning - before coffee, even - that "I have to go potty and poop and that starts with 'p'."; Maddie talking about poop incessantly all day long (positions kitty stuffed animal in sitting posture and says, "This is how Solomon goes poop."); Maddie telling me just now that she has to go potty and poop; Juli believing that there really are signs on the interstate that say "Juliana, please be quiet FOR FIVE MINUTES"; me, hogging the PIANO and playing the PIANO at Tracey's house where they have a PIANO; and Ava, doing an awesome shoulder-ribcage-Cabbage Patch-dance that is the funniest dance I have ever seen a baby do without parental puppeteering.
So that was all fun and hilarious, and I have now decided to mope in self-pity because I can't pay my rent, can't go see Chariots Race tonight (no babysitter - damn my friends and their selfish needs to educate themselves; EDUCATION, SCHMEDUCATION! I dropped out of high school (and college! twice and thrice, respectively!) and LOOK HOW WELL I'M DOING!), and Maddie is in one WHINY ASS mood (and if you say, "Gee, I wonder where she gets it from," I will stick you with sharp objects and laugh as you rotate on my rotisserie of rage), and although it was tons of fun spending the last day and a half with all three girls, what I could really use right now is just ONE HOUR of either absolute quiet or ONE HOUR of music so loud and melodious that I won't be able to hear myself think. As the first is impossible until Maddie's bedtime, and the second isn't possible in the preferred manner (i.e., the show), I am compromising with new free music downloaded for free from Jason's iTunes which was totally free (did I mention it was free?), as well as the new iLife which was (cough) totally acquired (cough cough) by competely legal (ahem....errrr) means.
