Don't you just love it when I blog thirty-nine times in one day? Hey, it's CHEAP therapy. I am all over CHEAP therapy.
I have decided to live blog American Idol tonight. Except it won't be live as it will be on my DVR and I plan to watch it tonight but I may watch it tomorrow. or never. I don't know.
Last year I live blogged all season long, but this season, not so much. So, feel free to come back tonight and read my thoughts about David and David and Ryan and Simon and Randy and Stupid.
Listen, I gotta be honest with you. I am experiencing a period from hell. Backache, headache, cramps, fattiness, crankiness, hunger, stupidity and freakin' fatigue. I have it all. And well, it puts me in the worst mood, not just because of the stupid symptoms but because I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A PERIOD RIGHT NOW.
I should be pregnant and fat and uncomfortable with swollen ankles and hearburn.
NOT EXPERIENCING THE PERIOD FROM HELL.
And to top it all off????????????? I have a showing at my house, a.k.a. The House that People Look at 5,000 Times a Week, in ninety minutes. My house may as well be a museum, it's always clean and nosey people come in way too often and just look and pass judgement.
But hey, I took a pain killer, so I'll either not care what the house looks like or just sleep right through the showing. Either one sounds good to me.
See you tonight.
or not.
Signed,
The Grouchiest Person on the Planet
P.S. It took every ounce of strength and self control to not drop the f-bomb forty times in this post. That's how much I love those of you who don't care for it. But I'm screaming it in my head. Over and over and over again.
P.S. again. Is my blog taking forever to load for you? or is it just me?
Yes, your page is taking forever to load!
Sorry about the period! I hate them myself, but not for the same reason as you do! :-(

Yes, has been very difficult to check or comment on your site today. Yay, for the live American Idol blogging. I remember when you used to do that, so much fun. Your comments/opinions are, as always, hilarious.
Sorry that your period sucks...I hate them. Did you ever think, when you started your blog, that you'd post about a "period" (the one that's not a punctuation reference...well, you probably didn't think you'd be writing about either "period" actually). Hooray for pain killers. Looking forward to your live post later tonight...or tomorrow...or never. Love you!

YES! IT'S TAKING FOREVER....or even not at all. It's very frustrating!
Posted by: AmyA | May 20, 2008 at 05:41 PM
You know this is your blog and you can say fuck if you want to. See I just did. It was so easy. Fuck! Fuckity Fuck!
Posted by: WCD | May 20, 2008 at 05:44 PM
Your site is loading quickly and normally for me.
Hey Beth, drop the F-bomb. We're big girls.
Fuck, I hate that you're not pregnant.
Posted by: Laurie | May 20, 2008 at 05:46 PM
Girlfriend, drop the f-bomb all you want. I willbe watching AI tonight as well, on the DVR as well. Cuz I don't watch anything that isn't recorded. Now ay can I suffer through real commerciasl nowadays- my time is too precious.
As for the period that you shouldn't be having, well, that f-ing sucks. What the mo' fo'? Tell Aunt Flo that she can go to h-e- double L.Tell her to leave you the f' alone. Yeah, do that. It'll make you feel better. See how many times you can drop the f-bomb at one time. And then let me know. We'll have a contest.

It wasn't loading at all earlier and I was like fuck (oops, I guess some people don't like that ;) ), but now it's loading fine!
Posted by: RubiaLala | May 20, 2008 at 06:47 PM
Yes! Your blog is taking forever today!
It's okay, tho. Still love it and you.
I HATED having my period after I lost the baby. It was like a freaking constant reminder of how horrible life sucked right then. And then the next month, too. Literally every single time I'd go pee I'd cry all over again.
Posted by: Tracye | May 20, 2008 at 06:59 PM
It was taking forever earlier, but it's fine now.
If it helps - I will drop the f-bomb in honor of your restraint.
And yes, now that you're posting 5,000 times a day I feel less silly for my constant checking and rechecking of your site. See how that works out for everyone?
Uh-oh, large bang coming from direction of small people. Good luck with blogging - or not.

Sweet Angel,
I am so very sorry. Tell Aunt Flo to take another pain pill and a half gallon of your favorite ice cream. I hope you take it slowly. No one expects, (an NO one has a right to expect), you to bounce back to whatever the hell is normal any time soon. Or ever. I'm a very large fan of the F word and though my blog is brand new, I suspect I'll lose a great many potential readers due to my love of the f word and the irresponsible parenting I blogged about this evening. I don't personally know you but I want you to know that I keep you in my prayers. And did you know that MY LORD understands and forgives the use of THAT WORD? Hang in there!!!

Fudge, your blog isn't taking forever, twitter is.
Posted by: crookedeyebrow | May 20, 2008 at 08:18 PM
Twitter is taking forever...much longer than your blog. No worries here.
Take another pain pill...it always seems to make me feel better...
Posted by: Kellyn | May 20, 2008 at 08:36 PM
Your blog to for.ever. to load yesterday and earlier today, but right now it's loading my faster.
I don't get my period, just random...you know, I don't want to be too gross. But anyway, my body is screwed up since the loss. So I got a call from the doctor today, and now I get to take a pill that will make me get my period. hooray.
....we shouldn't have to worry about periods right now!!! I'm so sorry you're having a yucky night.
Posted by: Rachel Chip | May 20, 2008 at 09:04 PM
Hopefully your house will sell and the stress will be on moving soon. Sorry your period sucks, mine have too lately. BAD.
Posted by: Not Just Any Jen | May 20, 2008 at 09:07 PM
yes, it's taking forever. Mine is too. I know typepad is doing a beta test. maybe that's the problem...
Posted by: Antonette | May 20, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Thanks for not using the curse words (i dont care for it), but it's your blog, so write whatever you want! :) Your blog is loading fine for me.
Posted by: Laura H. | May 20, 2008 at 10:20 PM
Yes, your blog is taking forever to load, and not just today but since you fancied it up...whats up yo?
Posted by: Carrington | May 20, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Typepad made some changes yesterday, especially on the composing page. My blog was running slow too. Composing looks like it's going to much nicer but it's taking some time to erase and do other things right now. I saw that people were writing them so hopefully they'll get it right today:)
Posted by: Kateri | May 21, 2008 at 06:41 AM
Yea.. it was totally taking forever yesterday.. but today.. not so much..so im happy again..
Sorry you're feeling so crappy..and sorry you're not feeling crappier!! I know you should be miserably pregnant.. but dont worry.. you will again one day..and you'll probably complain about that.. but dont worry i'll be here to knock you right back into the real world and remind you about this period from hell!! :)
Posted by: Ryley | May 21, 2008 at 09:58 AM
I am SOO sorry you are having this period from hell. I hope you feel better soon!!!
Loaded fine for me this time.
Posted by: mandy | May 21, 2008 at 07:42 PM
Feel better soon! And use the F-bomb as much as you want. We're all adults here. Except for that one time I left your page up on my computer screen and my six year old started reading it and asked me what that word meant. Just kidding. :)
Posted by: Jen | May 21, 2008 at 10:59 PM
LOL on the F bomb comment. I said the F word yesterday more times than I care to admit. I have my period too and it sucks.
