my sister was in a car accident

So if I'm not around for a few days at the least, that's why. She's ok, just a lot of scratches and bruises but (as far as the xrays/catscans show) nothing permanent (thank god). She was at the hospital from 5:30-1:30am (my mom and I got there around 6:30ish-- it was a long drive to the car crash scene & hospital-- long distance wise and emotionally). We finally got home around 3am.

So since we're down to one car now (mine) I'm going to be doing a lot of taxi-ing and U-Haul driving (I drove one for the first time this morning). So if I'm not on for a few days and you can't get ahold of me I'm sorry but I'm either driving somewhere OR catching up on sleep.

I'm just so thankful she wasn't more seriously hurt (the accident was a 'T-Bone' -- meaning that she was hit on the passengers side--that side of the car is in a U shape now as the passenger door was smashed into the middle of the car- even the frame of the car itself is bent), the ambulance driver told her that if she'd have been in a newer car instead of the old clunky one that she was driving she'd have been dead for sure.

It was a rough day yesterday/this morning.

short updates

I love these lollipops:


I really like only spending a short amount of time at the market. Today I spent just the proper amount there.

I adore 8 week old kitties. Even when I go to the market expecting to visit with a brand-new (11 day old) baby and get kittens instead. Not a bad substitution.

I'm going to Virginia in... 6 days. For an overnight trip. I'll be getting rid of my sister for a whole month. As excited as I am for it (and boy am I) I'm also a little sad cause hey it's my LITTLE sister (who just so happens to be not so little at 17 years old).

I'm debating over switching this from ibabble.net to my old aliengurl.blogspot.com or possibly ibabble.blogspot.com or something similar. So if you want to know if I change my URL, let me know. If not, good luck finding me again. If you care to. I'm getting sick of paying $15 a year (+ $3 a month) for something I don't use often enough.

Seriously? I really really love those lollipops.


This is a crappy update, and it's mush's fault cause HE made me do it. hah.

another haircut pic

I know it doesn't look that great in this picture, but my hairdresser guy curled each of these individually (with a curling iron) and so i think it deserves to have a picture on here. It took 3 hours. It was amazing, there's more curls then showed up in this picture even... each big curl you see in it has about 4 others underneath it... and I sat in the chair, nice and properly still, for three hours!!

Prepare yourself for some scary words

Lately, I've been thinking.

I'll pause a moment to let the eerie music fade.

Ready? Ahem.
Somedays, if I wouldn't be so attached to having my very own name as my email address (heather@) I would give up this whole ibabble.net domain thing. As much as I like it, it gets harder to justify spending the money on it for the amount of blogging I actually do these days.
Simple solution, right? Just blog more.
But that's not so simple! I used to go through my days thinking (perhaps pathetically) that 'this' and 'this' would make for interesting blog posts. Not so much anymore. Now I'm lucky if I think of this blog once a week, and never with any real desire/drive to post. Perhaps if I had more commenters that let me know they actually read this? But then again, that's my fault. Why read/comment when I don't post anything interesting to read/comment on?

Its a vicious, unhappy self-made circle I've drawn myself into.

Even this post was going to be more interesting (I promise, it was!) but somewhere between my brain and typing my fingers got lost and yet again its just me babbling on about how boring my blog is to me anymore.

And I WANT it to be interesting! I know of so many great bloggers/writers I could link you to- except since I don't really know-know them, I feel weird doing that without their permission. But they don't know I'm talking about them unless I link them. Another circle!!!

So what was the point of this post? Oh yea, I really miss the good ol' days of blogging. And I know others do too (May!!) and I wish we could all get back into it. Wishful thinking perhaps, but there it is.

I'd say comment, but you cant cause my comments are broken :(
Comments are working!! Just the blogger ones, not the haloscan (boo) so all of the lovely mushy comments I got won't show up, butttttt at least theres some type of commenting again!
