Don't You Love it When...

  • ...You pull clothes out of your closet that you haven't worn in a few months and you find money in the pocket? And usually it's all crispy and folded funny because it went through the washer and dryer in the pocket. I like crispy clean money I didn't know I had.
  • ...You get text messages? I know I do. This morning I had two: the first was from JP in Hong Kong and said something along the lines of "Woohoo, it's Friday! Hope you can escape to the pub soon". The second message was from Anna and said something along the lines of "The pub you've frequented for the last eight years burned down last night". Such parity with the texts this morning. Coincidence? Who cares! I got two texts!!
  • ...You see your vet at the baseball game and he totally knows your name AND your dogs' names? I mean, granted he's seen Cassady only about 25 times so far this year, but I didn't even hardly recognize him as the vet without his white coat on. And he asked about how he was doing and sounded just as concerned as he does when we're in his office. I thought that was really cool.
  • ...You get to see not one or two, but like 10 really good shooting stars in one night? I love the Perseids.
  • ...You have friends that remind you to LOVE instead of HATE? I was going to do another "Don't you hate it when" posts when I was urged to try and think of things I love. I'm liking it - but I have to say, I probably get more comments on posts about hate than ones about love. Here's ya'll's chance to prove me wrong.
  • ...Your honey gets out of bed and then covers your feet back up because they were exposed when he/she got up?
  • ...You go to your friends' blog and realize they now have a notify function? Ahem...wink wink...nudge nudge. If you look in the sidebar near the bottom, there's a Notify List function now where you can input your email and get alerted when I post. And considering the exorbitantly long delay between posts that I force my faithful readers to suffer through, I thought it was the least I could do.

What gets you through the day?

1. Your husband calls you and asks if you want to sneak away for an hour to some place with a vibrating bed (never mind neither one of you could ever get away at the moment)?
2. You realize a new Harry Potter movie will be out before long?
3. You catch your son peeing mid-stream on film (okay digital)?
4. The lady at the fruit stand carries your bags out and loads them in the car for you because you are holding a baby?
5.You go to the chiropractor and get sooo cracked that you feel your toes tingle as blood rushes back into your feet?
6. You have the possibility of going out tonight?

1. You get a perfectly pulled pint of Guinness
2. You accidentally sit up all night with a mate and a bottle of scotch or two
3. You jump off something a little higher than you should (physically and/ or metaphorically)
4. You sit out at night and watch a storm gather and break over you
5. You find yourself in a nightclub toilet with a young lady and... (probably far enough!!!)

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):

I'm the Lyrical Jesse James

...which means I steal lyrics, right? I heard that line in a 90's song (coincidentally, the one that I thought said "It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic" but I only now realize they're saying HEAVY, not hectic) and I can't figure out why you'd want to promote yourself as a lyrical thief. In other news, I've completely failed at maintaining the calm demeanor I worked so hard at cultivating during my voluntary solitude of just two short weeks ago. It promptly vanished like a fart in the wind upon my arrival at the office. I wonder if the Europeans have this problem after having been holidaying for two solid weeks in August. If any of you work with Europeans, you know that several companies pretty much clock out for the entire month - good luck getting an email reply or a returned phone call. Some get an entire MONTH off. Can you imagine? What does their inbox look like when they get back? I dread the thought considering I&
