Spotted decor...

I was admiring this pic again and thinking "wouldn't he make a beautiful rug?" And then all the animal-rights activist voices in my head said that probably wouldn't be a good thing, so I decided to just keep him as my desktop backround.:D

p.s. for those of you wondering, yes, i did post this pic before....however, i'm still mezmerized and obsessed with this animal, so bear with me...;0)

Flickering Bulb

In light of my previous post...we now have a guinea pig. She's not a cat, but she'll do. She is soft and I can hold her and pet her. There are stipulations required for every animal brought into our home. A pet is not a pet unless you can pet it, in my ever so humble opinion.;0) Anyway, moral of the story.....brought her home....her name is Stitch. As in Lilo and Stitch....as in alienfromanotherplanetrunarounddestroyingthings Stitch. However, contrary to her name, she is actually very very calm...so calm that she peed on my shirt while I was holding her and petting her. Guinea pig pee smells very strange, just for the record. Anyway, this story does have a point....a point that kept me laughing my head off for a whole evening. I was setting up said guinea pig's cage....food dish, hay, blanket...etc....and came to the new highly evolved water bottle. For some of you who are not blonde by nature(I am blonde, literally and figuratively, therefore I can rip on blondeness,) this may not have sounded like such a high-tech chore. However, in my ultimate state of blondeness, I was attempting to attach the water bottle to the inside of the cage with the wire holder that was included.....it wasn't working. I couldn't get the wire to hold the bottle tight, AT ALL. So, I looked at the package....nothing specific in the directions....hmmm....maybe they forgot a piece of it that's supposed to prop the water bottle up? Cuz there's no way the wire holder is going to work....and the dumb thing SAID it was supposed to fit on all wire cages....grrrr. So, being the brilliant inventor that I am....I found a rubber band to put around the water bottle to give the wire something to "grab on" to, thus preventing the water bottle from slipping out of the wire. All's well in guinea pig land. Until we're on our way somewhere for the evening and it hits me. Seriously....I bet all the street lights flickered at the exact moment that it dawned on me the water bottle is supposed to be propped OUTSIDE the cage....see the first pic above for confirmation. I laughed and laughed and laughed....and laughed some more on the way home. 'Tis good to be blonde.;0)

Animals are Therapeutic

If I live to be old and go to the nursing home, I'm getting a cat. By then my husband will be too old and senile to remember he has allergies. That's all I have...good night.

Early Bird's Demise

Once upon today I got up early....really early....like 5:30 early. That might not sound so early to some of you lovely people who have to go to work to keep corporate America up and running, but for those of me who have children that wake up several times a night screaming bloody murder, anything before 8 a.m. is too early to be rising and shining. So, I got up at 5:30, and I got to thinking about all the wonderful citizens out there who love the expression "the early bird gets the worm." Well, I personally am not into worms...and I say the early bird gets picked off by the owl that hasn't gone to roost yet. That, my friends, is reason enough for me to stay in bed. As much as I love owls, I am not interested in winding my way through their digestive tract to become a part of their fecal matter. Thanks, and have a lovely evening. I'm sleeping in tomorrow.

"This one goes out to the one I love....":D

This is a special post....and yes I mean special. It's for Amber. Need I say more?:D We could totally rock the grippy shoes in this ep-i-tome! WOO HOO! (triangles are ringing in perfect harmony in the background...a sweet symphony....):D

p.s. you're welcome for the song....:D

Speaking of ostriches.....

I think ostriches and possums have the best survival skills.....one sticking their head into the sand and the other playing "dead".....both ideas cleverly stunning their predators into "what the....dumb?" mode and thus causing them to forget why they were after them in the first place......highly sophisticated.....now I have to decide if I want to be a Postrich or an Ostrum....does it matter which one's the mom?:D
