Petting the cats at the shelter makes me realize what a blight on this earth many humans are. They had to put a sweet orange fellow down while I was there. He was sick and not getting better. But if someone would have adopted him he WOULD have gotten better. …
Well it was recently. This head, I have was full of bees. Angry bees. I have to say, that since having the Bean, my moods once a month have gotten so much more difficult to deal with. I used to have horrific cramps. Now I don’t so often (every few …
It isn’t that I haven’t had anything to say, it is just that I haven’t had the time to write. Which is both a good and bad thing. I should be doing some chores right now. And I’m guessing this being happy gets in the way of writing in the …
Just got back from the UU Fellowship. It’s a gift how much better I feel after each service. I’ve even offered to sing a solo part soon. Oh lord. Nervous about that. I don’t have what you’d call a ‘pretty’ voice. I sing tenor. Odd for a girl. I have …
Pete Townshend I was always here in the silence But I was never under your eye Gather up your love in some wiseness, For every memory shall always survive And you will see me. I am an animal My teeth are sharp and my mouth is full And the passion …
Sometimes I don’t like being a libra. There’s an easy hook to hang this whole thing on, when it’s probably not the stars, just my personality. And growing pains. We’ve gone from near isolation to whirlwind. I’m really grateful and happy to be a part of things but I”m feeling …
I hadnt seen him in years, more than 15 I think. I loved him once, with that desperation only a 17 year old can muster. He was difficult and strange and melancholy. And gentle though a rage seethed just below his carefully controlled surface. I know we took long walks. …
This is one of those de rigeur end of the year wrap ups. Yet I find myself rather loathe to write anything at all. 2005 didn’t suck for me as much as it has for others. 2004 was a nightmare, but 2005 brought with it our move to Fayetteville, so …
The Bean told Santa she wanted a pink scooter and a bouncy ball. No tears, a little shy at first and waited pretty well (with a few forays to toy stores) for 1.5 hours. We also ended up in line with some folks we knew and their little baby boy …
Looks like Miss Nin’s thyroid is fine. The doc thinks she might have an infection so she’s on amoxicillen and baytril for the next two week. So that makes three of us on antibiotics 😉 Keep your paws cross this clears everything up. She goes back for another fructosamine and …
Hey, anybody wondering what to get me for Christmas? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pete-Townshend-Signature-Les-Paul-Special_W0QQitemZ7572481856QQcategoryZ104408QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem You don’t have to gift wrap it 😉
They had an all volunteer nativity pageant (complete with bunnies and wise women and extra stars)at Church today. Emily was a Shepherd and James was a sheep. It was so cute my head exploded. Then they started singing while she was up there and she was having none of it. …
Got Miss Ninny a full geriatric checkup with her new vet at the All Cats Clinic (recommended by a friend). Dr. Larsen is not as charismatic as Dr. Bryan, Dr. Zink or Dr. Rovner (I will *always* miss those three guys) but she was patient, gentle and thorough. I think …
I am SO EXCITED we’re having a party in two weeks!! Even if our house is so beige it makes me clench my buttocks together in embarrassment. We just can’t wait to do this until it’s all painted, that will take YEARS. Ok, about a year anyway. But a party!! …
We’re still sick here, but have half the outside decorations up and the tree goes up today. Will update with more pictures of the actual house later today 🙂 but for now here is this–snoozy folk getting well:
Anyway, on a humorous note. There is not EVEN a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground and the schools closed. Seriously. It used to take a LOT more than that when I lived here, I swear. And Illinois did have an impact on me in this way , I …
