raves and rants

Today was a good day. 'Twas relatively stress-free at the office, which is a relief, considering it's a Monday. I hope that's a sign of a good week to come. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
Mr. S and I just got home from dinner at my in-laws (his parents). My sis-in-law just passed the teacher's board, so it's a major toot for her. Yay Missy!!! Dinner was scrumptous, and my MIL made some really yummy spring rolls. Yum yum! For dessert, there was this absolutely sinful but absolutely diviiiine chocolate cake!!! My toes are curling just thinking about it. LOL! After dinner, we stayed for a bit and it was so fun. Mr. S has four sisters, then add me to the group, and we are one noisy and giggly group. His sisters are sooo fun to be with, and they're quite kooky too, which in my book, is a really good thing. You know, birds of the same feather blah blah blah. You know the rest. Just before we left, my MIL also gave me a bottle of tiramisu syrup which you can add to your coffee. Ooooooh!!! She sure knows how to please! I'm so glad I get along really well with my in laws. Lots of gifts and goodies! LOL!
On the other hand, everytime we get together with friends and family, everyone asks us if I'm pregnant already. And I mean EVERYONE. Every. single. one. Don't they know it's added pressure?!?! LOL! I might as well have it stamped on my forehead: "No, I'm not pregnant!" Sheesh! My egg cells are getting stressed out about it. Oh, but we are trying. I don't really want to pressure myself, but I'm really praying that we get pregnant soon. I soooo want a little S!!! Anyhoo, if it comes, it comes, right? Right. Shush, my darling egg cells, shush...
Moving on to digiscrap stuff, I was checking my mails earlier and I got a bit (an understatement!) frustrated. I receive a lot of newsletters and updates on digiscrapping, and it irks me that I see sooooo many beautiful kits that I can't buy. See, most sites only accept Paypal as their payment method, and the Philippines is not in the list of countries that is allowed on paypal. Damn. I don't know who to blame, and I want someone to blame. LOL! It's sooooo fucking frustrating!!! Arrrgh!!! Thank God for scrapbook-elements and digital freebies! At least they accept credit cards, and they have wonderful designers on their list.
Oh, I just downloaded The Font Thing (TFT) a few days ago, and now I don't know how I lived without it. LOL!!! My puter has been acting up lately, being very slow and all, and I was reading some old threads at the forums over at RAKScraps. So I only just realized that loading or installing all your fonts slows down your puter! Umm, okay, so I had like about a thousand fonts installed. hehehe! It was a lightbulb moment there (ting!), so I uninstalled all fonts except the Windows XP defaults, and it worked like a charm! My puter is much faster and so now I can download even more fonts! LOL!!! So cool!!! I give TFT my two thumbs up! I'd even give it three, if I could!
I think I'm gonna hit the sack early tonight. I've been breaking out, and I feel that I look terrible. Not good. Besides, my egg cells could use the extra hours of beauty sleep. LOL!!!

You are lucky you get along so well with the inlaws. I do ok with his dad and step mom...but his mom...ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. And his sister is ok...but being an only child and always wishing for someone to have a close fun sisterly bond with...sigh...just wasn't my luck.
