  • I was awoken this morning by my sister telling me that donuts would soon be available at my mom’s house.  The family was getting together to have breakfast.  So, I headed over and had myself some potatoes, eggs, toast, and, of course donuts.  We even had some fresh grapefruit juice straight from the trees in the backyard.  We watched NASCAR, as they did half mile laps, 500 times (how exciting).  My uncle is wearing a shirt that says “A beer a day, keeps the bod this way”.  He is so funny.  He’s like 50 years old, a Wisconsin beer drinker with the belly to prove it, and he’s just got the best attitude towards life.  I have no complaints of him.


     


    As I stated the other day, my niece and nephews grandparents, and great-grandma is in town.  The great-grandma is 90 years old.  No wheelchair, no walker, she just eats chocolate, and ice cream.  That’s what she says her secret was.  She has a little problem hearing, but I’ve seen much worse.  She’s got a great sense of humor too.  She stated that she belongs to 5 bridge clubs, as it keeps her mind going.  She thinks it is important to keep her mind going or else she’ll lose it.  I think she may be right.  Dr. B. will live forever in that case. 


     


    I read more on AprilLynn’s site today.  I’ve read about a month’s worth of posts.  She talks about school, piercing her eyebrow, and about her boyfriend (becoming an ex at the time).  It was funny how she talked about quoting movie lines, but it was even better when she used Tommy Boy as an example.  Tommy Boy was a great movie.  And if you are from Wisconsin, it is appreciated even more.


     


    One of these days I might start using the “Now Reading”, or “Now Playing” or even the review features on Xanga.  Only problem is, I’m always reading the same damn book, or I’m listening to the same music.  And for my reviews, I’d give everything 5 stars.  As there isn’t a movie I don’t like. 


     


    When my sister woke me up, I remember her mentioning something about a picture.  Well, when I got to my mom’s, I saw the picture to which she was referring.  It was a Polaroid on the refrigerator (or ice box if you are Kolohegirl), it is of me when I was probably 3 years old.  I’m wearing a shirt, with no pants.  And somebody decided to snap a picture.  So you can see me, and my twig and berries, at the nice age of three.  I’d post it for you all to see, but the cops would be at my door as some sick twisted individual would find it erotic.  I through in a couple of sick comebacks though, such as, “it’s grown so much since then, we need an updated picture, where’s the camera?” 


     


    I remember when I was in High School, one day my mom took my grandma downtown to the bus station so she could catch the bus to Laughlin for a few days.  Well, when she came back, I was busted because I hadn’t left for school yet, and I was running late.  Well, surprisingly, she wasn’t too upset, and then she opened the back door to the car.  And on the floorboard was a cute little puppy.  She said he was at the station, and that she was with a homeless man.  She said she could have brought either of them home, but she chose the dog.  My mom stated that she asked the homeless man if the dog was his, and he stated no, and that the dog just kind of wandered around for the last few weeks.  She was only a few weeks old at the time.  So, she brought her home.  When I got home from school, I promptly took her to the vet.  I didn’t have any money, but they still managed to take her in.  They cleaned hundreds of ticks from her ears and her body.  Poor dog.  They gave me some food, and some medicine, and I didn’t have to pay a cent, which was really nice.  We got her home and played with her for some time.  My mom kept calling her “mutt” as he was obviously a mixture of breeds.  Well, I took it one step farther and named her “Le Mutt”.  I had a stuffed animal that I grew up with, and on the tag was “Le Mutt”.  I love that stuffed animal, in fact, I still have it.  He would be in better shape, but Cookie decided to wash him one day, and his eyes didn’t fare too well.  No worries, he is still adorable to me.  Le Mutt is just the coolest.  She knows several tricks now, including roll over.  Of course now I know that in comparison to many other dogs, she may not know a ton, but for being young, I was really impressed.  She just has the best temperament.  Well, one day, somebody forgot to shut the gate all the way, and of course, Le Mutt took herself for a walk.  But didn’t come back.  She used to come back, but she hadn’t been at the house for very long in order to know how to get back to where she was.  We made signs, and I printed about a hundred or more color copies.  Yeah, not the best use of the color laser printer at work, but it was a good cause.  Well, the kids went door to door for awhile, and placed signs everywhere, but nothing ever turned up.  Then, almost 3 weeks later, we start calling the ads in the paper about found dogs.  Most of them turned out to be dead ends.  But one lady, said she had spoke to another lady who had found a dog, which matched the description.  Well, she dug the number out of her trash, and I gave the lady a call.  And although she described the dog as a Beagle (Le Mutt is like a German Shepard), I figured what the heck, I’ll take a look.  Not to mention the fact that it was a long ass way away from the house in Scottsdale.  It was Le Mutt.  I guess she had walked several miles to an underground parking structure.  And from there, a lady gave the dog to her sister who lived even farther away, in the opposite direction.  Well, Le Mutt spent a good several weeks with her.  And this lady really cared for the dog.  I felt bad taking her, as I could tell she really had cared for the dog.  Le Mutt is a sweetie.  She just loves to be near people, and is really well mannered.  Well, she is home sweet home, and the kids were happy to see her.  It was just pure luck that the lady had talked to this other lady, and that she still had the information from several days earlier.  A lot of things had to come together to make it happen, and sometimes I wonder if there wasn’t more at work than I am aware…


     


    News Flash: Jay is flawed.  I couldn’t believe it.  Yeah, well, he and I are going to hang out tonight.  I went out to lunch with Batlover today, and she filled me in on him and her.  Then we went shopping at the mall.  It was nice.  I’m tired now, and I have a TON of shit to do for work, ah, but all is well.  It’ll get done, and if not, I might be lucky enough to have to find another job.  I’m with Christy, her and I will become professional talk show guests.  I could really do well on stupid shows like that.  But I’d have to start watching them to learn what I need to do.


     


    I found out what Kolohegirl means when she refers to MPO.  (her name)…packing… ordeal.  I laughed forever.  I can’t believe she has such an issue with packing.  Then again, she is going to Tacoma for three weeks.  That would kinda suck.  I’d just take 3 weeks worth of clothes, but that’s just me.  I don’t do laundry while on trips.  Problem is, I don’t think I have three weeks of clothes.  I have about 2 weeks worth though…


     


    I watched that Metallica S&M DVD that I have the other day.  I wanted to hear No Leaf Clover.  First in 5.1 surround sound, then just the band version, then just the symphony version.  It’s cool to hear the different mixes of the song.  Jay reminded me it was on there that way, so I had to go back and listen to it.  I thought it was a great idea that Metallica, Michael Kamen, and the San Francisco symphony orchestra did that.  I can only imagine that there were conflicts, I mean, you are bringing together two different worlds, but it was really amazing to listen to.  A lot of people say that they like all kinds of music, but I find it rare that people do.  Even I have some preferences, but I really do like all kinds of music.  I’m not big on knowing artists, I just like the music.  I’m totally in the mood to listen to Fantasia in DTS 5.1 now too.


     


    Well, I’ve survived this long.  It’s hard, but having those around me has really helped.  And Aura has been very comforting.  I’ll survive, as I always do.  Hope all is well.  Best Wishes…
