Poor Dog

The dog has been spayed. Here she is just home from the vet, all doped up.



Hours later: still here. Poor dog.

My mom is gone from visiting and off to Finland to care for her parents for quite some time. She'll be back in November for a visit but not to NB. I love my mom dearly, as one is supposed to do, but she shows me no respect for my wishes, space or person and it's nice having the house back to ourselves. ARG!

I'm almost moved in with B+. Phew, I hate moving. Not hating moving in with B+, he's fabulous, just hate the physical act of moving. What do I keep? where do I put it? what do I toss? What the hell is this? Why do I even have that? How on earth will I move that? How did I get it in here to begin with? So many questions and running out of time.

We have cable tv. I KNOW...crazy eh? I haven't had cable tv since 1996 save for a brief hiatus in 1999 when the cable company forgot that the house I was living in had the cable still hooked up. We also have a home phone too. This is a bit backwards as we are all with cell phones now, but whatever! It's not just regular tv either, it's the digital HD something or other, and comes with an extra box and a remote that requires a PHD to figure out. FUCK! I'll never be able to watch the cable cuz I can't turn on the tv. The irony of all this, is that we only have a 19" tv (old school style with rounded glass etc). ha ha I can watch CSI 24 hours a day.

I'm running in the army 10K race this weekend. I fully expect to come in dead-last but hope that I will at least be able to finish, thus making dead-last not as bad as falling to the ground mid-way and not making it at all. Fingers crossed, it's my first ever!

Later dahlings!

Science Report

Residents of Fredericton, NB were startled Sunday afternoon after an earth shattering boom went off at roughly 3pm local time. Passersby and neighbors could only speculate what the noise was, some went as far as to peg alien's as the culprit.

Local officials are conducting an investigation into the disturbance. A full report will not be published until all the findings are complete. "After our initial search, we've discovered the source of the noise was a satellite crashing to the earth" says local scientist Omarr Bergdorph Shinnanigan of the University of Nincompoops in the nearby village of idiots. Shinnanigan goes on to report that "the satellite may have fallen due to sunlight reflecting off a ridiculously bright object on the earth, thus concentrating the solar energy by 1,000 and creating a malfunction in the satellite's navigation, causing it to crash through the earth's atmosphere and veer to it's imminent death at speeds beyond human cognition. "

Local officials have declared that the most likely culprit was this ridiculously bright object:Ok, but seriously folks, I had this total brain fart that I would paint the picnic table some funky retro colours to make it more interesting. You can see it from SPACE!! I don't think this photo accurately depicts just how bright it is, but when the sun shines on it, you can't go near it. My mother is visiting and said she couldn't eat her dinner as her retinas were burning. I have since rectified the problem by painting over the green with a beige and leaving a small trim around the half circles on the seat in green. It's a great green colour, just not in that amount.

You know you're in for a doozy of a day when you go to the washroom at 11:15 am to pee, only to discover your underwear have been on backwards all morning. No wonder they felt weird.

Gotta go folks,
later gaters

Ever have one of those days?

Ever have one of those days when:

Your overbearing and entirely too critical mother comes to visit with no definite departure date...

You drop your boyfriend off at work before he leaves for his week long adventure training OVERNIGHT with 4 GIRLS and only one other guy and you see one of the girls he's leaving with and she just happens to be about 10 years your junior, in great shape etc... BUT I'M OK WITH THIS, I'M TOTALLY OK WITH THIS, I HAVE COMPLETE TRUST AND FAITH IN MY SWEETY... oh jeez, was I yelling?...

You have to poop like crazy but someone is talking to you and wont stop...

You finally get to poop, you do your thing, get up, wipe up, wash your hands, realize you have to poop more...

Eat all your lunch by 11:00 am, go to the gym and only have a few leaves of lettuce left and you're absolutely starving now after a really hard work out and end up eating an entire second lunch you bought from the canteen and then have some chocolate on top of that...

Raced to an appointment, forgetting most everything you needed to remember in your haste to get to said appointment only to discover that it's actually NEXT Monday at 5:30 pm...

Not even PMSy...THANK GOD.

Just one of those days I guess...
