Cruisin' for a Bruisin'

I've been thinking about bruises a lot lately. That could be because of the enormous, hideously-colored bruise I have on my left butt cheek right now.

How did this happen you ask?

Thanks for asking. And no, I won't show you. So Sunday we got back from the Piney and I was heading downstairs to get some laundry going. We dirty up a lot of stuff at the Piney, so after washing the dogs, laundry is priority numero uno upon our return. Right, so heading downstairs to the laundry...the stairs aren't carpeted or anything, just plain ol' wooden stairs. Turns out Corn Dog had left her rubber bone at the top of the stairs and I didn't see it sitting there perched at the top step. I took one step to make my 13 stair descent, stepped on the bone and my feet were no longer underneath me. I only fell about three or four stairs down and it could have been a lot worse. But my bum took the brunt of it and I have the seriously BLACK bruise to show for it. As an old friend would say "Gooooooooooooooood Corn Dog".

And since I will NOT be showing pictures of my bruised bum, I'll share another of my notorious bruises that I photographed for posterity. This one was a doozy:

Come on, just tell them it was me that bruised your ass. My knees are a little sore too.

I left out the rug burn part on purpose.

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

Don't You Love it When...

...you get a new phone? I am bursting with pride over my new little friend. It sings to me and she retrieves my email...I love it so. The only downside is that I'm bound to become one of those people pretending to pay attention in a conversation but am actually checking my emails on my phone. But, I'm breaking it in with the firm assertion that I WON'T become one of those people addicted to their email. I'm not that important and I don't ever want to be that important. ...you have a party and the cops are called because people are having too much fun for stodgy suburbia? The third (or was it fourth) annual Jamexican party had probably it's largest turnout ever (thanks in large part to Anna and her party coordination skills) and I think everyone had a jolly good time. By the time the cops showed up to let us know there had been "several" noise complaints from neighbors (which maybe? I have a hard time believing since two of our five neighbors wer
