Hello Everyone
I have been busy here what with planning a trip, organizing, major dental work, car probs, cats, etc and everything. But! I found my turkey roaster that has been missing since Thanksgiving. because what would I do without that.... I have all these turkey basters, dontcha know.
I threw away the drippy coffeemaker because I got it (sort of) undrippy and then I was careless about pouring water in it - now it won't turn on, I make myself tired. Yes, that was a two hour ordeal one Saturday morning, trying to make coffee, being all grumpy because that's how I am before I get my coffee. so, I thought if I let it dry for two weeks and try again.... but no! So it went away. However I am hanging on to the user manual for some reason (yes, it mystifies me, too but that's the way I roll). The kids can get rid of it later. I'M GLAD THAT COFFEEMAKER IS GONE. Yes, indeed. and before you ask, we have a Mr. Coffee backup.
So I'm having dentist appointments and lugging cat litter, and man, that cat litter is going to kill me in the end; probably collapsed in the driveway covered in bits of clay. Saves burial time. I can't wait until Lisa is safely back home - and then she can take away some of these cats. Now, Lisa thinks that Angelo will get out and disappear and I won't tell her, I have NEVER lied to her about that. Last time when she called he had already come back and I said her cats were fine, when asked. I would NOT lie about it. If Angelo was gone I would say, "he's up on the roof and we can't get him down!" (family joke - she knows what it means)
Yes, Lisa is in-country on her second deployment. My yellow ribbon bow blew away so my tree now just has a yellow strip around it har. I will fix it this weekend if I can. But I am not an artsy-craftsy person so the odds aren't looking good. even with tying bows... I suppose y'all think that's easy? think again. The blue star flag is safely inside the window so it's still there, until the cats knock it off.
Lisa called me today at work with very poor connections and we can't probably talk much until this weekend being as they are 7 hours further into the future there so right now it's after midnight there. I can't call her then. I can't call from work. Dang; they are 7 hours in the future and I didn't ask her what the lottery numbers are!
and speaking of all that: let's hope she stays safe. and that aside - I am tired, I tell you, of talking about Iraq. I don't want to hear any more about it, nope. Nobody has any answers so us peasants just have to keep plodding along with the day to day stuff. I am having an Early Withdrawal from politics. Politicians are all the same and nothing ever changes, not that I know what I would want to do, anyway. But I haven't heard any good plans from anyone else. So let's not talk about it. Just plant a vegetable garden. We are not any safer now than we were on 09/10/01 and we won't be either because nothing ever gets done after all the talking and nothing ever will get done. and that's why we are driving, not flying, on our trip. that, and the fact that it's less pressure.
If I can Keep Bob Alive for the trip, that would be good. He is now trying to eat himself to death, all other methods having failed and the extra weight causes untold probs for his heart and etc. doc says 50 lbs should leave from his now shamu like frame. Well I am trying to help with that by buying fresh veggies and not cooking as much. Take tonight. I am not cooking (God knows what he ate today, though!) maybe we can gnaw on some raw carrots later or something. But he gets up in the night and eats ice cream and peanut butter. I feel bad in a way because why shouldn't he eat what he wants? He could starve himself and then have a heart attack anyway, it doesn't seem right. I lost 30 lbs once by eating only one meal a day and not eating potatoes or bread. it worked! But I don't think he can do that.

I found in my docs a blog draft I wrote in Sept. 06 and never posted, about the soul and consciousness etc. Hilarious. I'll put it in here soon and you can critique it.
