The fact that my brother is still alive because I haven't killed him? - PRICELESS

For 2 days I was so angry I was shaking. I'm finally calm, but not calm enough to explain. But I'm improving. Because I have to just tell myself, "It's only a couch. It's only a couch. ..." However, there is more to the story and I want to scream. I did scream. But I don't think I'm done yet.

Surf's Up

Monkey was QUITE annoyed today when we left the beach, and he had sand in his undies :) Ahahaha! He was REALLY annoyed. It really is beautiful here! We did see some dolphins (I assume they were dolphins??) off shore and even a few jellyfish came up on shore. Eew. MrNV was determined he wasn't getting into the water, but Monkey can be persuasive :) And they were both drowned. Oh well :) K. Off to find some seafood....

Finally Landed..

after much discussion... we finally ended up at some big body of water :) This one :) Yes, we're having fun. Caught some really beautiful scenery on the way. Didn't see any gators, though. YET! Perhaps a shark or something? I'll keep the camera handy. We arrived after midnight, but still had to go and play in the surf. Monkey is giddy. MrNV is snoring.. and Monkey is sitting here listening to the ocean with me. Our hotel is on the beach.. I'm in heaven :) Might not be going home.

Hello from the road!

I have no idea...

One of those silly online things. But, it made me laugh. Especially since that's one of my ultimate favorite movies!! I love Orson Welles. But I'm not sure how appropriate it is that I would be muttering 'rosebud'?? And Paris Hilton?!? As long as she leaves some beautiful flowers, I'm fine with it. I tried MrNV, and it said he would be missed by Mister Potatohead :) AHAHAaha. ha.

Poor Hasen.

So that I don't forget why Roscoe is in huge trouble.. this is Hasen's eye. He is a bit less active today, I hope he doesn't develop an infection or something. But he is eating and drinking, so that's good. And he is demanding I pet him.. and that's good too. The tube is to cover the stitches. Although I'm not brave enough yet to actually decipher where exactly the stitches are coming from.. and going to...??? They come out Tuesday, and hopefully everything will get back to normal for him. Poor little guy. He's been hanging out on my desk all week.

That's it.. I'm moving..

Want to move to Alaska? They're giving away free land. I love stories like that :) You can read more HERE. Send me a postcard when you get settled in!! And this is their actual website with the details. Hurry, you only have until the 19th!!

Really Unethical... Seriously Funny

OK, I have no idea what I was looking for.. but I found this. And at first, it's really hilarious.. I mean really. But then I feel really bad, because I'm sure the results are very bad. But then I feel all giggly again, because it looks really funny. BUT THEN.. the guilt takes over again... and it goes on and on. It's because I'm half good and half evil. But, my favorite comment on this video: "If the squirrel didn't want to take a ride then it should never have hopped into something so clearly labeled as a "squirrel catapult'." AAAAHAHAH! That's so TRUE!! I'm going to build one now.. and put my neighbor in it! The bad neighbor, not you GND :)

Stories from the Bird Feeder :)

I noticed today that the bird chow was vanishing faster than usual. However, I was gone most of the day, so I wasn't sure why. Well, in watching my Howard Hughes cam... I noticed the feeder was being pulled from view. ?? So I went to check it out.. and found one of the squirrels. YAY :) And it looks like a female.. non? The chickadee was fast to get in there when the squirrel would take a break ... and the brown bird is just put out. His nest is in a woodpecker hole on the opposite side of the camera. He's really not too happy with us for putting in the feeder. I hope the squirrel doesn't go after the bird eggs, or I may have to re-think my no-shooting policy! I took the photos through the window, sorry about the glare. It's funny, as I am typing this I can see him bobbing in and out of view on the camera as he reaches for the feeder. I love my spy camera :) I feel like I'm living one of those National Geographic shows... living with squirrels. The EXCiTEMenTTTTT!!

Special thanks to GND for racking her brain and remembering that it is a Chickadee! And, as a Hasenfeffer update.. he's doing just fine. He doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that his eye is sewn shut. Personally, I'd have to be in a padded room. He gets the stitches out on Tuesday, and the vet hopes he'll be just fine. The eyeball may possibly pop out and shoot across the room.. he wasn't certain :) AHAHa, no! That's just sick. Chal made me say it. It was still in tact, but he wasn't sure if his vision would be damaged. I'll cross my fingers. Because he sure needs to be able to see Roscoe coming in the future!!

MrNV is such a goof..

I received an email from MrNV lastnight. This was part of it. He's such a nerd. Hotel security was probably on all kinds of alert :)

I tried to walk into the other room in order to check on Alex, but he
wasn't there, and the people in the other room were, well, kind of hostile towards
me (especially the man), after I fluffed their pillows and pulled their
blankets up on them. :) They also said there was, "No chance in hell
that they would ever in a million years have light saber fights with me and to
get the hell out of their room." I think what really caused him to
flip out is when I said good night monkey boy, love you. :)

Shitty Day Update #1

This morning I thought I would let Hasen hang out in the office and run around. He's been trapped in his cage for quite some time. Since there isn't any traffic here today, I thought it would be a great idea. Usually Roscoe is fine with it, he just watches the rabbit wander around. However, rabbit decided to do some fancy jumping and flipping around in the air. Before I knew it, Roscoe jumped on the poor bunny and had him in a head lock in his mouth. I freaked out and pounced the dog.. as poor Hasen was freaking out for his life. He wasn't physically damaged, I don't really think Roscoe meant to chew him up. However, because he struggled he managed to pop his eye out of socket. And I can barely even type that without throwing up. It's not like it's hanging out, but is extended beyond where it is supposed to be. Poor baby bunny. And as Chal could attest, if she were ever around, I can't handle anything eye related. Nothing. When I had to get contacts, it took me over an hour just to get the first lens into my eye.

Anyway. He's at the vet now, thankfully my brother went with me. During the entire vet conversation, as he poked and prodded bunny, I had to keep my hands over my eyes. I couldn't even look at the poor little guy! After about $150 f*****g dollars .. I will be getting back a bunny with an eye sewn shut. I am going to have to be medicated, drunk and unconscious just to look at him until it's better. He's going to PUSH the eye back into it's socket and THEN sew it shut so that it doesn't pop out. THEN, I get to take him back to have the stitches removed. And HOPEFULLY it will look normal again. I just don't know that I'm brave enough to look at a pop-eye bunny for the rest of his little life. Ugh. I'm so pathetic. Poor bunny. He's suffering, and all I can think about is how creeped out I am. I suck. Now I'm going to go and cry some more :(

Anger issues.

It's 7:00am and I'm up. I have been up since 6:00, and so I'm angry. I love that last 1 hour and 45 minutes of sleep... it's important to me! But I can't stop coughing. Not all day coughing, but that... hey, I'm going to sleep so let's cough all fucking night and make Lorraine crazy cough. I get up.. no coughing. Maybe a few times during the day. I'm certain I'm dying. And MrNV is out of town playing with his nerd-herd in Vegas and I'm annoyed. And the Monkey decided to run a fever of 101 yesterday morning.. for no real reason other than to freak me out. Allergies. I think he has learned to control his temperature so that he can stay home and be mean to me all day. And, of course, my dog decided she wanted to make vomit noises.. which is what woke me up to start with. So I had to stumble around in the dark hoping that I wasn't going to step into a pile of something warm and grotesque. I also have a huge zit just above my lip. The last time I had one of these, I think Tense Teacher cursed me with it. I think she must be up to no good again. Actually, I have been breaking out in hives for over a week now. MrNV decided he wanted me to start using fabric softener again, and I had forgotten why we stopped using it before. It's all coming back to me now! In red splotchy hive reminders! So I have basically boiled all of my pillows and sheets.. and it's improving. But I guess there was just one more big statement to be made.. so that I don't forget again.

So. Today I am tired, cranky and hideous. And it's only 7:24am.

Ewok Love

Tonight 'Girl Next Door' brought her puppy down to hang. I was holding him like a bebe, and he fell asleep :) So cute.

We watched American Idol and were all amazed that Sanjaya WAS NOT sent packing? Seriously. He should stop the show and say, "No, I'll leave, he can stay." Wanker.

My brother watched the vid with me, and at the end the man states that he's certain he'll never go faster in a street car again.. or something like that. Smartass brother, "Well, if we threw you out of a fuckin' plane in a car.. you would go faster!" AHAHAH! OK, that was pretty funny.

But I still adore this car.
It's my material need!

Squirrel Cam

I had a flippin' squirrel on my flippin' squirrel cam today, and nobody was here to enjoy it but ME! And that's OK :) He was so cute though, playing in the sand turtle. Y'all missed it. And I haven't mastered taking photos with my vid camera, so I had to dig out the digi cam. AGG. Anyway. I had a squirrel. I actually see 2 out back today, in the greenway. I'm sure they'll be dead by tomorrow. ..sigh.. Oh, and I also caught a groundhog earlier. I think it's a groundhog. Fat little wobbly creature.

Seriously.

At what point in your life do you aspire to be able to do this? ...sigh... Um, not suited for the chillernz.

Monkey's Lego X Wing Star Fighter

On a happier note, Monkey wanted me to blog his new creation.. his X-Wing Fighter he created from Lego's. It's a Star Wars thang :)

Richard Jeni - Martha Stewart

The truth about Martha Stewart :)

Sad.

I just read that the comedian Richard Jeni shot himself in his apartment over the weekend. I always enjoyed watching him, that is so sad. He did the funniest Captain Kirk!!! RIP Richard Jeni. XOXO

OMG!

The new Chad Vader is out, this is #6. AHAHAHAH! In #5 he quit his job at the grocery store, so this is him out in the world of looking for work. It's a lot like Blu!! "YOU ARE BEATEN!!".. ahahaha! I want to hang out with these guys!
