was talking to the hubby on thursday. he was going to try to convince doug and sarah to find a baby sitter and come out to the movies with us. By friday night he still hadn't pinned them down on an answer. So he called them at home, but it turned out that sarah had to work all weekend. I got on line and was surfing around when I saw my friend Ken was on line. I said hi. He said hi, and asked me what I was up to. I stated I was looking for something fun to do this weekend, but I didn't type the i was.. and he read it as a question instead of a statement. So some how I ended up inviting us down to his house. :)
We had to meet him at the mall cause he was getting his breaks fixed. His car wasn't ready by the time we got down there (a two hour drive) so we went to TGI Fridays and had lunch. I had a roasted veggie sandwich that was very yummy. We walked around the mall a bit, talking about movies ... cause we were trying to decide if we wanted to go out or rent or buy something. We ended up going to walmart where i found the authroized bootleg dvd of army of darkness.. which i HAD to buy. We also got x-men 1.5
We went home, watched two of the three movies ken bought (space balls and stargate - he also bought 'it') we ordered in some pizza, which surprisingly he hadn't done before.. bachelor living there for three years..but whatever. We played some cards, then came home.
I had a bunch of dreams last night. Most of the night it was the theme of being trapped. I don't remember much of anything.. just not being able to leave where I was for what ever reason. I was so frustrated that I woke up and got up for a while. I went back to bed for a while, and had a really strange dream about an alligator.
Went over my parents because my sister was coming down. Hung out there most of the afternoon. The baby is so utterly well behaved.. quiet all the time. My mother was telling my sister about ben's new favorite book at her house.. it was about monsters of the deep and a really big alligator.

well.. Im gettling ready to change the layout of the blog again. I had an idea of what I wanted, but I can't find any images to go with it. I have some on an old calendar of mine, but that means I have to hook up my scanner.. or remember to take it with me when I go out tomorrow and sneek into my parents house and use theirs.. I did find one lay out I really liked when I was out surfing, but it was custom made and im not all that into stealing.. (I say that, but I keifed the above image)
Went to the hospital to see my nephew.. he's doing well. They were talking about sending him home today, but of course no one called me to let me know. typical. My family is a little like that, then they are surprised when I have no clue as to what is going on. I have a tendancy to call the baby by his brother's name.. Im not the only one either. I wonder why that is. Came up with the idea to take ben out to dinner one evening soon.. Figured it would be good all the way around.. ben would love it, his parents would get an evening with out him, and we'd get something different to do. Ben is a bundle of energy.. and your stress level goes up a few notches when ever he's around. Not that its a bad thing, you don't even notice it till he goes to bed.
I knocked a few more things off my to do list today.. was quite productive if you ask me. :)
Well Im considering taking the comments off this blog. Seems kinda silly to have them when no one uses them. and its just a tad depressing to see all those 0's. I know your out there.. come on.. say hi!

had a dream last night that my cousin sheila was dead. that she had died back at christmas time. It was kinda freaky. I was talking to her two sisters about it. everyone was very casual. Not a good way to start the day.
My new nephew Samuel is in the hospital with jaundis. He has been for a couple of days now. I know this is a fairly common problem, and that he'll be fixed up good as new soon enough. Im feeling pretty out of the loop though. Im getting all my info from my mother via email. I suppose its my own fault for not rushing to their side, but I don't want to intrude. Don't want to put another person in my sisters line of site that she might think she has to be strong for or "entertain". It tended to stress me out a bit more when extended family showed up when my dad was in the hospital. She knows my number, she knows where I live..
and.. now for something a bit on the lighter side.
there actually is news that isn't related to the war

MY HUSBAND, on his first screenwriter's job, was working on a crime thriller. I looked in to find him sitting perfectly still, a tear rolling down his cheek. "David died," he told me. The main character's name was David. "But, honey," I said, "it's your story. Didn't you know that was going to happen?" "Yes," he replied. "I killed him."

While driving a city bus one winter morning, I turned onto a slippery side street, and the vehicle began to skid. It slid through an intersection, over a curb and onto a front yard, stopping just outside someone's front door. As I stepped out of the bus, a man standing in the doorway of the house called to his wife, "Honey, were you waiting for a bus?"

well now that the war has actually started, you have to admire the way they do it now. We've been fighting for a couple of days and there was only one casualty. There were more, but they were human error. Although I haven't kept up on the latest developments so there might be more. Its amazing how you can have a war with out blood shed. in the days of the Vietnam war, people were being killed all over the place.
That being said, I do not agree with this war. I can't believe that for the past 10 years there was no need to do anything, now all of a sudden there is. Personally, I think that since there was no real target in the war on terrorism, no big bulls eye they could trot out in front of the public, they decided they needed to go after someone who was well hated and who had ties to terrorism. From every piece of news I heard Iraq was complying with UN inspectors. There were a few items that were found that weren't listed, but you know what.. I have no problem with that. When you run an entire country your bound to forget a few things. If the US was told to make a list of everything they had, Id bet anything they would miss a few things as well.
Another reason I have major issues with what is going on right now is the almost total lack of interest in North Korea. They have said right out what they have, and that they aren't going to follow the rules, and they were trying to blackmail the US into giving them stuff to comply with the rules that NK already agreed to.
Now, Im fully willing to admit there is probably information I do not know about. Especially since I am staying as far away from the news of the war as humanly possible.. But violence only begets violence. Its the human way. But then again, so is war. And until we get past that, we'll never be able to live in peace.
But then again, its been prophesied that we wont. So as always.. I just accept this. I do not have to like it, and I don't.
This being said.. I 110% support the troops. I have many friends in the service. I have and will applaud them for serving this country that Im actually proud to live in (despite the leader). While this might seem like a bit of a contradiction to you, remember, Im not outsidethenorm for nothing..

one freaky type thing happened while I was at the home show the other weekend. They brought in a dog to show. The dog's name was princess, but the name really didn't fit, so the other volunteer and I tried to come up with another name for it. For some reason I kept coming back to the name sam. Later in the show a couple who was moving to town a few months stopped by and fell in love with her. Princess seemed to really take to them. It seemed like a perfect match. The couple had another dog, and the dogs name was sam.

well.. I couldn't do the taxes cause I was a few forms shy of being able to complete it. With out itemizing my deductions it looks like Im going to owe about $400. *crosses fingers that with itemization I'll get 400$*
Brushed the kitties teeth, went well
Ignored the kitty faq. Really got to get to that and the kitty web pages
well I couldn't help but pat the kitty since she climbed up on me,
and well.. the nap was nice :)
Went to the shelter this afternoon. Driving past the school to get there, I realized something. Kids today wear their backpacks on both shoulders. We would have NEVER done that, it was uber uncool. so what if we were hunch backs because we carried 40lbs of books on just one shoulder, it was cool! Not one kid I have seen doesn't carry them on both shoulders.
There was a management forum at the shelter. An open discussion of different things going on, and a way to get and give feedback from the volunteers. It was quite strange, in the fact that people would ask questions about one thing, and the director would go off talking about something very similar to the question, but not quite on the mark. For example, one woman brought up that the adoption process took too long sometimes, and people would get frustrated sitting around for an hour after making the decision to adopt someone in particular. She also mentioned that one guy who came in said he'd been living in the next town over for years, and never knew we were there.. just saw us one day when driving by. Well the director went off on saying he didn't want to call the papers or the news media when we took in 'newsworthy' rescues, because that would bring the negativity image up in the people's mind and they would only think of the shelter as a place where the sick and injured go. I know he was making the connection of advertising the shelter, but he really didn't address her concern of the frustration of the new adopters. Oh well. I did learn a quite a bit about their plans for the next year or so. Some very exciting changes coming up. Can't wait to see them go into effect.
I saw a blurb on the news this morning that there is a french website that is calling for people to send pretzels to Pres. Bush. I couldn't help but laugh at that, especially since I read recently that the US congress recently changed the name of their french fries to freedom fries. Come on people.. grow up! *rolls eyes* This whole thing is getting ridiculous. Personally I do not like Pres. Bush. If I ran the world he would NOT be president. I think he's ignorant, self serving, and totally wrong for the job. The only thing on his side (in my opinion) is the fact that he says he believes in God. If you spend any time reading my blog on a regular basis, you know I have very strong faith However I know that one of these days the world is going to end. It is predicted. There is going to be a second coming God isn't going to save us all from it (just those who believe in Him) Just as I don't believe that He will save anyone if Pres. Bush decides to take this country into war. (well maybe one or two.. but on the whole.) As long as a war isn't going to interfere with God's Plan, He is not going to stop it.
God left us here with no real concrete proof He exists so that we can choose to love Him. When someone chooses to love you its a very precious thing. If there were concrete proof, who would choose not to love Him? Only fools. If you knew with 100% certainty that there was a God, and that if you didn't love and trust Him you'd go burn in a fiery pit for eternity... wouldn't you believe?
Anyway.. back to Pres. Bush. He scares me. I don't really believe he believes in God. I think its a show. I think he was brought up to 'believe in God' and knows that is the thing to do, but I don't think he's ever taken the Lord as his Savior. I believe he's religious.. don't get me wrong. But there are religious people who aren't saved and are going to Hell when they die. I think he wants to go to war to finish the job his father couldn't do due to legal issues. I pray all the time that Im wrong. I am totally willing to change my mind on this matter if I see one iota of evidence to the contrary. I wouldn't be one bit surprised that it was the Devil's doing that he's in power.
But. there is nothing I can do in this situation. No matter my opinion, life is going to unfold as it will. I can only live my life, and express my opinions.
which I do.
on a regular basis.
Im not a red head by chance
*smirk*
Now this being said, I want you to know gentle reader, that I totally respect your opinions on the matter. If you LOVE Pres. Bush, more power to you For all you can do is live your life, and express your opinion.

im starting to think its time for me to go back to work. Im getting quite annoyed with the shelter. Im not really sure why. Maybe Im just feeling the effects of the whole mess that I just went through. Im volunteering for them this sunday at the home show. If I walk away from that peeved, I think I'll seriously consider going back to work.
*shudder*
Im still not quite myself.. which would probably explain the above statements. I really need to get my act in gear. Was kinda stupid of me to not take a class this semester. Makes me feel like a slacker - especially since there are no kittens to take care of.
yea.. isn't this blog just all happiness and light.. *sigh* suppose you have to work with what you've got. I should just go back to bed..

Ive been quite scatter brained / depressed / not myself lately... Been doing little more than surviving. Hasn't been pretty. I keep snapping at the hubby.. I have to keep reminding him and myself that its not him, its just my brain hasn't been working right.
Decided to work on a few projects around the house, so we went out shopping in search of materials for them. First of all there is a depression in the wall in the bedroom that is 15 inches deep and 45 inches long (or 53 as long as you can access the light switch) that I have been dying to get a decent piece of furniture for. We went out looking for that friday night. There was a bakers rack that was 18 inches deep and 36 inches long that was nice. There is also a wall unit of cubby holes (nine of them) at target that is 16 inches deep and 45 inches long. I think Im going to go with the cubby hole thing. It means I have to find a new place to store my stand up jewelery box, but I think I can handle that. I have to say though, finding something for that spot was not easy.
The other day I saw a redecorating show where they made a hang on a wall pot rack. I have wanted a pot rack for like ever, but there is no good place in my house to hang one from the ceiling, so when I saw that I was quite happy. I suggested it to the hubby, and he likes the idea as well. The wall we are going to put it on is pretty far away from the stove and what not, but hey.. it will give us a bit more cubbard space, and that is always a good thing. But then he realized that the rack would be right over the litter boxes. Not such a good thing. I was sad. We started thinking about rearranging the kitchen area.. but it just didn't seem to work. There really is no other good place for the litter either. Then I thought what if we built a box to hide the litter boxes. So we went out in search of stuff to make an on the wall pot rack (ok two.. one on either side of the window) and a four sided box (leaving the bottom and the back open) to cover the litter boxes. We stopped at IHOP to have breakfast. Had their stuffed french toast.. omg.. it was amazingly delicious!! we went from there to bob's discount place.. nothing there. then we drove up to lewiston and went to mardins. I got some computer games, and some girl scout cookies. There were some decent pieces of furniture there that would have worked in the space, but they were quite expensive, and most of them were sold anyway. Then we went to clearance / wear house type food store. Had some odd things in there that we had to have :). Went to Home Depo to get the stuff we needed for the projects. We also found an eletric fireplace on clearance. We had been wanting one for the sun room.. so we splurged and got that too.
Unfortunately, about half an hour after we ate 'breakfast' (well it was at 1pm) My stomach started to feel like a rock, and my head started to pound. Physically Im pretty much a mess. I haven't had anything else to eat today, and I can't even begin to fathom eating anything else. *sigh*
Well Im going to close this entry by sharing with you one of my major pet peeves lately. Its that stupid slim fast commercial that asks "can you loose weight and still live your life". well DUH!.. that part really pissed me off. then I realized a little bit later in the commercial there is a little disclaimer that pops up right after the woman says "and it was so easy".. the disclaimer being that .... word for word.. I kid you not "loosing weight is not easy" I so want to smack the person who came up with this commercial.

Went to the movies last night with Paulette and her hubby. We went to chunkys and saw Dare Devil. Its a pretty good action pict, if you can get past the few major flaws with the premise and the plot. And surprisingly not one thing went wrong with the meal. Chunkys is a dinner theater type place.. where you can order food and then watch the movie. They have sandwiches, burgers, finger food. The past 30 times we have gone there SOMETHING has gone wrong with the food or the service. ranging from a fly in the soda, to our food being delivered to a different theatre, to never seeing a waitress.
Today we went to my parents house for the hubby's birthday dinner. My parents cook dinner and bake a cake for our birthdays. I requested yorkshire pudding. My mom is from england, so we had it growing up, but I haven't had it for years and years. Growing up she used to cook it in a wide shallow pan (think lasagna type pan).. today for some reason she cooked it in muffin tins.... which is the way Ive seen it every other place but home. I like it better in loaf form, not so many 'crust' type areas.. oh well. It was yummy anyway.
We then played a few rounds of cribbage. First it was the hubby and my dad. Dad won.. one round he skunked the hubby. Then it was me vs dad. I skunked dad. We then played a foursome.. me and dad vs hubby and mom. We skunked them the first round. I got a a flush crib of k q j 5.. don't remember what the top card was. I got a few hands of 15-16. The second round we lost by about 25 points. Not quite sure how cause usually one of us would have a 10+ hand.. I accused the hubby of unintentionally double scoring, so then started in saying that no one "followed the rules" when it came to counting. Well every time I tried to count I couldn't cause all I could hear was him and mom counting.. so I was almost always last to peg. I told him that, and so we then went to the "right" way of counting hands.. which was even more annoying cause only dad, and occasionally me had to ask if they had any more points in their hand.
Im home now.. and Im still stuffed from cake and dinner, but for some reason I REALLY want to eat something.. I thought I might have just been ice cream deprived (cause mom got ice cream with nuts to go with the cake) but I had a small bowl of that, and I still want something. but Im full. grrr.. its quite frustrating trying to talk my body out of getting up and going into the kitchen on a constant basis.
I need a kitty to come sit on me..

Today we went to my parents house for the hubby's birthday dinner. My parents cook dinner and bake a cake for our birthdays. I requested yorkshire pudding. My mom is from england, so we had it growing up, but I haven't had it for years and years. Growing up she used to cook it in a wide shallow pan (think lasagna type pan).. today for some reason she cooked it in muffin tins.... which is the way Ive seen it every other place but home. I like it better in loaf form, not so many 'crust' type areas.. oh well. It was yummy anyway.
We then played a few rounds of cribbage. First it was the hubby and my dad. Dad won.. one round he skunked the hubby. Then it was me vs dad. I skunked dad. We then played a foursome.. me and dad vs hubby and mom. We skunked them the first round. I got a a flush crib of k q j 5.. don't remember what the top card was. I got a few hands of 15-16. The second round we lost by about 25 points. Not quite sure how cause usually one of us would have a 10+ hand.. I accused the hubby of unintentionally double scoring, so then started in saying that no one "followed the rules" when it came to counting. Well every time I tried to count I couldn't cause all I could hear was him and mom counting.. so I was almost always last to peg. I told him that, and so we then went to the "right" way of counting hands.. which was even more annoying cause only dad, and occasionally me had to ask if they had any more points in their hand.
Im home now.. and Im still stuffed from cake and dinner, but for some reason I REALLY want to eat something.. I thought I might have just been ice cream deprived (cause mom got ice cream with nuts to go with the cake) but I had a small bowl of that, and I still want something. but Im full. grrr.. its quite frustrating trying to talk my body out of getting up and going into the kitchen on a constant basis.
