*finally met the new neighbors today. The poor things think that my yard is wild and untamed just because I am busy. They don't know I'm also farm raised, a hippy from a private college in Oregon, and an episcopalian. I have bugs, at least 3 kinds of birds, and TOADS this year!

Actually posting!

Biggest reason is that I watched The Wandering Earth this weekend, and LOVED IT. It's Chinese, and I watched it in Mandarin with english subtitles. Such a good disaster film. It even made me cry at one point, and I didn't hate it. lol I was even thinking about it the next day (during church, when I was supposed to be ( Read more... )

It was her first baby. The baby survived. There was no word on what ( Read more... )

Charlie is driving me nuts. He keeps not sitting on my lap. Then will sit on the couch arm and look disgusted. Then stand on my lap and not sit. He is being an asshole. Which, you know, thai cat. ;)

I have been watching the Olympics. A lot of it I've been watching in fast forward. :) It's a great way to watch volleyball. Drives me nuts that ( Read more... )

Is it a bad idea to let your cats watch Friday the 13th II while you go to the barn? Just wondered.

Got to go back to choir last Sunday. Sort of. We had a quartet, two on each side of the choir loft, and wore our ( Read more... )

*I finally got a heating source for the side of my ribs. Apparently I should listen to my own advice when I tell people advil/aleve AND moist heat. I didn't want an electric heating pad I got the disposable ones-that was the best they had at my Target ( Read more... )

*At work we decided that 4 day weeks with the Monday off for some reason always take forever. 4 day weeks with the Friday off are great. No idea why ( Read more... )
