Complacency and Rats...

...don't mix.


Just when you haven't heard any noises in awhile nor seen anything, and your traps have remained empty for weeks, you open the cabinet door to check and you see this:







And for the record, as I was scrolling through my pics on the computer, full size, I jumped halfway to the ceiling when I came to this one. For added laughs, you should know that I am at work.


Please please please let this have been the only one.

Get Ready

I'm getting my soapbox out

Indifference

Ok so in the process of adding that lovely boxer thingy I managed to delete my page counter. I can't get it back because I don't know my sign-in name apparently and when you click on "forgot your sign-in?" it says to go to your page counter and hover over it to get it. So there ya go, it's that rock/hard place thing. I guess I will have to sign up for a new account. Since I spent so much time jacking with that I haven't bothered to post anything.

I adopted out my precious Randi boxer girl last weekend. Wonderful family, she will be SO spoiled, as an only dog who gets to go to work with Daddy every day and has another dog at his work to play with. I couldn't have asked for more for her. I miss her terribly of course but not all freaked out like the first time she got adopted (and subsequently returned) probably because I am very comfortable with her new family. I'm disappointed they have changed her name to Lexi, but that is of course their perogative. There are a lot of Lexi's out there, but I never met another Randi. Ah well, she will always be Randi to me!

I'm surprising the kid with a trip to the circus tonight, that ought to be a lot of fun. I took her last year, and the year before went with Phillip when he took her. I'd much rather take her tomorrow night on a non-school-night, but Mama is (supposedly) coming to get her tomorrow night for the weekend. I'd hate to count on her giving the brush-off and then she actually shows up and the kid misses the circus, so we will go tonight.

We were supposed to go and visit Phillip last weekend, but they were locked down and so we couldn't. They still are, it will apparently be a week tomorrow, as last Thursday was the last time that he called. I hope it won't last much longer.

Ok well that's a wrap. I still don't feel like writing anything. ACK.

Friday, I Thought You'd Never Get Here

It is seriously time for an update here. I'm way lagging behind. I completely missed out on NaBloPoMo, though the first 3 days I quite by accident posted something every day. I don't think I found out about it until the 6th or something. Oh well, maybe next year.

Ok, yes, a couple of my recent posts have been somewhat cryptic. I hate to disappoint my 3 or so whole readers, but I'm not going into any details right now. If I start to talk about it then I'll start to analyze it and right now what I need to do is just let it BE and see what happens. When I know, you'll know, how's that?

Ok, so you're not going to get an update after all because I had to do some work. Better luck next time.

Sometimes I Really Hate Modern Technology

You know how you can misconstrue things that you read in e-mail or in instant messages? Read an entirely opposite meaning or tone into things people say via those mediums?

Well, you can misconstrue things via text message too. WAY misconstrue.

Perfect

Quote for the day:
Not all men are annoying. Some are dead.

Yes, perfect indeed.

Booby Trapped

My uncle came over last night and set rat traps up all over my kitchen. I am almost afraid to go in there for fear of getting snapped myself, and it is a MUST to keep the dogs out of there, though none are on the floor. Boxers are known for "counter surfing" though and there are a couple on the counters. Hopefully (I think) I will go home to find something that I'd ordinarily rather not see, but I'd rather see it than a live one streak across my floor again.


Fortunately I had a flat tire this morning (HA! When are you ever going to hear THAT again?) and my uncle has to come over tonight to replace the donut with the new/used tire he got for me today, so he can take away the corpse(s). I'm just always going to be a girl that way - I do not want to touch or go near or look at or be in the same hemisphere as rats.

Tomorrow's Friday, thank God.

It's True What They Say

You can't go back. I never really thought you could. But recently I made contact with a special someone from my past and I started to believe that maybe you could.

Until he let me know last night, via text message no less, that it is not to be.

It's good that his life is getting back on track. I am truly happy for him. But we have known each other nearly 20 years now, and he opts to give me this news via text message?

Men really are all the same.

But at least now maybe I can get off the roller coaster.
