Daylight Savings time...hurry up!

Was out walking the dog this morning.......a bit cold still but gosh I feel so good when we get done.

I got smart and loaded some new songs on my Ipod last night. It sure does make it more enjoyable. There is a certain camaraderie amongst dog walkers I've noticed. I also noticed in a neighbors yard that the crocus's were in bloom. I think it's still a might early for those, but no matter, they are still a sign that spring is not so far away.

The dog walking is having a positive affect on me as well. Even though it kind of sucks to be out walking the dog at 6 in the morning, and again at night, and in the afternoon's on the weekends (sigh) I do know that it's been good for my waistline, my heart, and my mind.

Missy is really starting to 'emerge'. While she still doesn't like anyone to get her out of my room but me, she has gotten decidedly more playful when it's just us. She runs around my room, tail wagging, as if to say, "catch me if you can". Yeah..no. She has even started to find her voice and apparently I missed it when she growled at Lucy last night under the door!

Still and all, she's a good girl. I bought her her very own 'roadkill' (stuffed animal) so that she would stop killing my 'roadkill'. Roadkill is very sentimental and I kind of cherish him. Stupid really, for a grown woman to cherish a stuffed animal, but it was a very special time in my life when I got it.

The cats are sitting in the sunshine, for once, behaving like cats. I opened the blinds a bit more so they could have some more sun.

I can't wait for daylight savings time. Two weeks to more sunshine and light! Well, and my birthday of course! Actually, my birthday is the 7th and we change time that night so officially daylight savings is the 8th.

I guess I should get my rear in gear and do the ironing so Warren has something to wear to work this week. I need to make a grocery list and I have to go get my license plate tag as well. Warren was kind enough to take my car to get the emissions test on it so that's taken care of.

Another week down, another to go.

We'll miss you Old Man

This is Romeo, beloved kitty of Warren. Yesterday Warren IM'd me to tell me he was ready to put the old man down. Romeo had been ill with Kidney failure for about two years. He'd stopped eating and drinking the last few days. Well, I called the vet and made the appointment. It was a hugely emotional day for all of us, especially Warren. He'd had Romeo for 16 years. They'd seen a lot together. We went to the vets. They had a nice room for us with it's own outside exit. That was nice because we could leave straight out of that room and not see anyone. I'd never witnessed this before so I was really sort of shocked at how quickly it was done. Warren held him the entire time. I guess I expected they would take him away to do it. We will miss you old man. I kind of wonder why we don't do something like this for humans. It seems much more humane that the suffering we go through to get to the end.

Dinner Alone

     Tonight was dinner alone night.  Hubby had a late meeting which actually ran later than he'd anticipated.  Well, with two dogs and two cats one is never really alone but I digress.  He missed out on a fabulous dinner: baked potato ( if you're Dan Quail that would be 'potatoe', and most of you are likely to young to get that), salad, and a rather nicely done steak.  By nicely done I mean pink in the middle.  After 49 years I believe I've finally discovered the trick to cooking a nice steak on the cook top.  Please let me know if you'd like to know the trick.  I'd rather share it with you than let you spend 49 years trying to figure it out.      I though about single people eating dinner alone which turned my thoughts to my mom.  I dislike the thought of her eating alone every night.  I wonder if she actually eats, alone or otherwise. Loneliness is just this great big well that sucks you down. ...

TO LOATHE OR NOT TO LOATHE.......

OKAY, that's not even a question. I feel an almost immeasurable certainty that the majority of women retain a vast amount of not only fear but actual loathing when it comes to bra shopping. While I cannot speak for all women I know that many of us dread this chore for a myriad of reasons but specifically because of this phrase: it's been discontinued. That phrase is enough to strike unequivocal grief into any woman. Why? Because of the toil and work that went into finding a particular bra. If I had boobs that fit into cute little Victoria Secret bras it wouldn't be that much of an issue. Unfortunately God blessed me in that department and whilst my husband is extremely appreciative of the original factor installs I possess, when it comes to buying a new bra I am not so appreciative. In recent years bra manufacturers have also decided that girls with a blessed chest also need a padded bra. I'm sorry, explain to me, in complete sentences, using words with no more than tw...
