Why are there SO MANY millipedes? 🙂

>Hey folks, it’s friday. I have been a little busy of late. On Thursday and midnight I came back to work until 8 AM. It has kind of sped up my week and confused my sense of time. My dogs were horribly confused. 🙂
And I got to deal with my first (and I am certain not last) grumpy pain in my butt. Some old dude pitched a rampant fit and wouldn’t allow me to sample his activities. *sigh* I was pretty steamed about it at the time, but whatever, I cannot make people behave. I can only sigh loudly, deeply, and with intent. I did that often.

So, night shift at the refinery…good times. Brings back old memories of the last time I was here. night time is certainly quieter. 🙂
This weekend I have no plans. I am thinking if the rain stops to spend some quality time at the beach. It is nice to be 5 minutes away from a lovely beach. Other than that, laundry, a nap, and breakfast at the beer drinking pig on saturday is all I have planned. It is a darn fine breakfast out there. 🙂
Have a great weekend ya’ll. I will try to remember to take some pictures. 🙂
*Hugs*

Hey folks, sorry I haven't written. I've been busy. I still am not positive if I get to stay here through January. One day it seems very likely, the next I have my doubts.
But anyhoodle, its been raining a lot. In the midwest when it is wet like this all the worms come up on the sidewalks. Here, the millipedes climb the walls. There are Many millipedes. 🙂

I know, stupid pretty, right?

>Wake up at 3 am. Heartburn. Have to pee. ugh. attempt to get out of my bed only to find that somehow the covers have twisted over me like a demented python. I wiggle myself free and check my phone on the way down the stairs–furry dogs following closely behind. Then I wonder why I get emails at 3 in the morning…seriously? why? who is up emailing…oh, it’s my broadband statement–probably it’s automatic. I let the dogs out to take care of their business while I take care of mine. Then I go in search of the Tums. They are in the back (far back) of a cabinet…I reach, I try to be careful but BLAMO! out falls a glass perfume bottle which explodes in a clean lem0n-y and razor shard bonanza on the kitchen floor.

*sigh* then I clean that up.

I got back to bed and sleep through my alarm. I wake up, grab a yogurt and some grapenuts. It was a new box of grapenuts and when I tried to open it sitting on the couch, well, it exploded too. Tiny sharp crunchy grapenuts EVERYWHERE. I sat there, watching my dog attempt to vacuum them off the floor–they kept getting stuck to his nose.

Then I gave up, got dressed and left for work.

When I arrived at work I needed to pee again. Uh-oh. The bathroom is out of order.

*sigh*

After a few hours it was fixed. I did drop a few carrots from my lunch, but all things considered I survived (so far). I kind of fear going home and cleaning up the rest of the grapenuts…or worse go home and find my dog burping fiber.

It is raining here today. Which is great cause we need it badly. But everyone here seems to get really happy when it rains whereas I just really want to take a nap. 🙂

mmmmmm. nap.

Happy Thursday folks.
(later note: sorry, this was a draft from last thursday. looks like I forgot to post it 😦 )

>So. I gave the pig a beer.
He liked it; I got damp. This is the video of it. Thankfully you can’t see any more of me than my arm–but you sure can hear me!

Against all known laws of physics my roof leaked again. It has a solid sheet of metal covering it and I cringed having to tell the landlord.
Some of my things got wet–the pic is those things hanging out to dry. I know, lame picture. 🙂

Yesterday, my cousin got married. This is a cousin I do not know very well, but I hope she is very happy. My beloved aunt reminded me that I was the first person of my generation (in our family) to get married. Holy Crap! (I thought) She is right. So as a forerunner in this marriage game I thought I would throw out some knowledge for those of you looking into the prospect. Admittedly many of you reading this have been married MUCH longer than my paultrey 6 (almost 7. Holy Crap!) years; but mayhap these will help some of the single folks…

1. Marriage is NOT the end. For some reason, and maybe this was just me, but when I was dating I kind of thought the “goal” was marriage. Well, its not. It is the beginning of a serious long term partnership. Enjoy dating. Don’t rush.

2. At some point in your marriage you will hate your spouse. With the ability to really know someone and really love them–you can easily slide into hate. It can happen when you sit in the toilet bowl (seat up) for the 374th time; or as you lie there praying for the snoring to stop. Know that those feelings will pass.

3. Try not to gossip with your friends about the horrors of your spouse. Later, when you’ve moved past something–they will remind you.

4. Always blame the dog when one of you farts. It keeps the romance alive.

5. Forgive their faults. Because for as many as you see in them, they have just as many percolating in their head about you.

Feel free to comment with any other marriage advice!

(Hah! I know you all think this is a post about drinking!)
But this is a pic of a bird that I fell in love with at the beach named Captain Morgan. He is a rescue, and it is the first bird I have ever met that really loves to cuddle. He has been with his current owner for a month. He was a LOT of fun.
