RikerChick's Personal Logs

[Tal 0]

I know what u mean i've given up coke compltley. I drank way to much of that stuff. 2 Litre bottle a day.

[RikerChick 5]

RC's don't I feel like a goober moment of the day

 

I just took my vitamins and I somehow swallowed one of them wrong. Anyone ever do that where you swallow a pill and it feels like it's lodged in your throat? :) Excuse me while I continue coughing like crazy.

[Angela 1]

I did that with food. either way not fun, and hey I even did that with a drink. and that going down was no fun, ouchies.

[RikerChick 5]

RC's don't I feel like a goober moment of the day part 2 :)

 

I was sitting here at the computer with one of my legs curled under me and I got up to go to the bathroom and didn't realize my leg had fallen asleep. I almost fell flat on my face. Boy I'm on a roll today.

[RikerChick 5]

Ok I swear I'm not losing it but I just went outside and the neighborhood reeks of nair. Ok I'm sure it's not nair, maybe some kind of roofing material or something, but it STINKS!!!! *turns green*

Probably pollution, or they are burning something somewheres. I know here if go to the water front and the wind is blowing the wrong way it literally smells like crap.

[RikerChick 5]

It's raining and the temp is down to 87, I'm in heaven

[Jim Phaserman 0]

Down to 87? dang!

[RikerChick 5]

Down to 87? dang!

Hey that's nice and cool Seriously, it feels wonderful.

[RikerChick 5]

Down to 82 now, this feels sooooo nice

[Odie 0]

82 degrees! I'm so envious! Yesterday it got over 100 degrees. I can feel my brain cell start to fry.

[RikerChick 5]

Yup, it's always over 100 in july here. But I'm sure it's nowhere near as humid. We're at 75 now. Feels glorious.

[Odie 0]

Yeah, the humidity is up around 100 as well. Right the area in Japan that I live in, Kanto Plan, is expensing a heat wave. The weather should be around the 80's with lots of rain. Everyone in the area is having a hard time of it.

[RikerChick 5]

I'm too tired to finish the pics tonight, I'll upload the rest tomorrow. *yawn*

[Jim Phaserman 0]

at about 6:15 or so right now, it's about 65 here in the Great Lakes region. Humidity is probably about 55-60%. Yesterday was nice, about 75. I spent the day at Dad's house, with the wife and the kids, having a Barbeque

You won't understand this (at least not fully) unless you have lived in Arizona. I'm still wiping away the tears I'm laughing so hard. Gabri's gonna love this.

 

You know you're from Arizona when...

[RikerChick 5]

Finally talked to Robert. He always calls during slow periods at work but this was the first time I've talked to him all day, I was starting to get hubby withdrawls. I think I figured out what I'm getting him for our anniversary. My parents anniversary is first though so I guess I should be deciding what to get them.

[RikerChick 5]

Well that took forever but I finally got all the Arizona pictures up, compressed them all and put description with each one. I got kinda into that album I guess.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

 

I was going to quote some, but I'd wind up quoting the whole thing. All you non-Arizonans reading this, it's true. Every single word. *wipes away tears of laughter*

[RikerChick 5]

I knew you'd love it. The whole thing is so perfect.

[Gabri 0]

Hohokam! *dissolves into giggles*

[RikerChick 5]

You know that Valley Fever isn't a disco dance

 

[RikerChick 5]

Is there anything in the world more relaxing then a thunderstorm on a warm night? I don't think so.

[RikerChick 5]

It's July in Phoenix, and I'm cold. *shivers*

Well I'm hot and your temps are probably higher then ours We're only around 20C

[RikerChick 5]

It was 81 (27 celcius) when I wrote that. After the daily highs that felt kinda chilly.

[Jim Phaserman 0]

go to a Packers game at home in December, RC, after that, you'll wanna wear your swim suit in a blizzard. it gets COLD up there (I was at the Seahawks/Packers Playoff game, and I froze my behind off. I had a transplant to cure the problem <JK>)

[RikerChick 5]

My car's getting fixed today. I'll finally be able to drive my baby again. My old, ugly baby. I have an emotional attachment to this car, I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just because it's the first car I've owned that's totally paid off. Or maybe it's because even though it's ugly it's could crumple these dinky little modern cars.
