Dog pee on my head… May 23, 2008

How you ask? how could I possibly get dog pee on my head? From a dog that squats in the dirt and pees so much it pools around his feet and after all that pee has puddled around his toes, he then then chooses that moment to jump up and do a little leg kick no 15 year old greyhound should be able to do - and in that moment - all that pee puddled around his feet - yup it went flying up into the air, arced towards me, and rained down on my head. pitter patter pitter patter

 

This is why… May 18, 2008

I know I have been gone. I could use a million excuses as to why I don’t post anymore like these:

  1. My cat, Egg, died 3 weeks ago and it’s made me very very sad. They found a giant tumor in his throat which was starting to suffocate him. He lived 15 long years with me and so I miss him very much. I held him as they gave him the injection and everyday I see the image of the life behind his eyes fading away. I can’t get it out of my head.
  2. I’m planning my wedding. I’m a bit overwhelmed by it, because though I mean it to be simple and just like a big party, there are still so many details. For example it was a helpful website that informed me to get a wedding license - I totally would have forgotten to do that! I would have. I still need to do it along with, plan the bar, buy cups for the bar so I have enough for all my heavy drinker friends, finally decided on a dress, get D something to wear, flowers?, decorations, the wedding ceremony, gifts, favors, shoes, spanx to smooth my fat, wedding ring for D, ack the list goes on and on and on and it’s only 2 months away and the man I’m marrying does not have the same urgency as I do. So you all will be hearing from me the week before the wedding having a nervous breakdown and running around like a fool trying to get stuff done. Please talk me off the ledge when I call.
  3. I’m getting married - holy shit. I have the baby and the house and already feel like an old married couple but….Holy shit.
  4. money - I have none. I just spent $2000 for “them” to tell me my cat was dying and that I had to end it. $1600 to fix a car so it will pass inspection for one more year. $900 on my last oil bill. and so far about 8k on the wedding. I have no more money and it depresses me.
  5. Miss S - the love of my life. If I’m not at work I’m wrestling with her on the floor and trying to get her to stop climbing up her bookshelf like a ladder. Without her I am even so much more dull in person. With her on my hip I am immensely more pleasing to be around. She is amazing.
  6. D - he has been sick for a little bit now, sick from stress, and just sick. he has finally made the leap and started a new job, but like we all know, the grass is never completely greener. He needs to detox - his body is telling him so but he fight fight fights it. Hopefully a colonoscopy later will set him right
  7. D hogs the computer at night to play with his Facebook page and do whatever he does there. I cant get a email check in edgewise.
  8. I can’t blog at work since the fateful day my coworker found my blog and gave it to the owner of the company…remember that…a cautionary tale was born.
  9. When I do get a chance to steal the laptop away from my facebooking man, I’m searching for a wedding dress, cause though I have one already, I seem to want more.
  10. It’s spring, I should be out enjoying it, not sitting in front of the computer which i do all day anyway!

the real reason is that I’m just lazy. And I have nothing interesting to say. And I don’t want to be one of those people that blogs about nothing (like I am doing now). But mostly the reason is - after I get Miss S to sleep all I want to do is sit my butt on the couch and watch another episode of the gazillion TV shows I’m into…Lost, Battlestar, Angel (again), American Idol, Torchwood…I just want to sit and not think.
