Friday, March 30, 2007 Friday's Feast #3 Appetizer What are you proud of? Quitting Smoking 28 months ago! Soup What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize? Free tickets and backstage passes to the Jason Mraz/Alanis Morisette concert. Salad Name something you do that is a waste of time. Surf the net! One thing always leads to another and before you know it 4 hours have gone by. yeesh. Main Course In what year of your life did you change the most? 2006 (although it really started in late 2005) Dessert Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil? Next to a stream or creek. There was one that ran behind my school when I was a kid that was "out of bounds" and we always used to sneak down there to sit and read or write stories. Labels: Friday's Feast, Meme Thursday, March 29, 2007 Kitty UpdateSamantha will be having surgery next Wednesday to have the 3rd eyelid removed. If the tumor has grown into the eye then they'll take that at that time also. I've got her back here at home and have to give her drops 3 times a day until then.It's what has to be done, but I will admit to being in a little bit of sticker shock. Thanks so much for all of the good vibes!
Samanta BelleI get home from my evening out and go to brush a crusty out of my 17 year old cat, Samantha's eye and a chunky of what I thought was her 3rd eyelid fell into my hand and she started bleeding ...a lot. I called my friend that I'd had dinner with to tell him that I'm home and freak out a bit and he talked me off the cliff and got me calmed down enough to call the vet to get the emergency vet info. I got her down to Toledo and the emergency vet clinic is packed. 2 dogs put down, one hit by a car and a line up waiting. They took her back without me so they could squeeze her in and I think it was the longest 40 minutes of my life. We're headed back to the ophthalmologist tomorrow to find out if they have to take the eye. Seems that she has a clot in the cornea. Not sure why that wasn't detected the last time that they saw her, but I'll be bringing it up. She's cone head kitty, and I've gotta get up with her about every hour to make sure she hasn't started bleeding again.I'm usually good in a crisis, but when the blood just started pouring out of her eye I just froze. I won't get that image out of my head for a while ... Friday, March 23, 2007 Is Your Fetus A Republican? / Soon, DNA testing will tell if your baby is gay. Or smart. Or the next George Bush.

View More Thursday Thirteen Participants Labels: Meme, Thursday Thirteen Wednesday, March 21, 2007 Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams St. Pat's EditionWhat an amazing night that was! The snow on Friday (St. Pat’s) was spectacular, easily a foot between It was SO cool meeting Amber from the Circus Fans!!!!!!!!! Shoot! We should have taken a picture! Rats. Ah well, next time. It was LOTS of fun coming in and seeing the surprise on everyone’s face when I got there. I just about slid under my seat when they turned the spotlight on me and announced that I was there from Got to see Tony, Tink and Chen for a minute before the show and introduce them to my friend Maura, and Joziah and Sharkey after the show. They were, as always, wonderful hosts and she was so wonderfully impressed with how much they enjoy connecting with their fans, and the level of appreciation that they have for them. Thanks to Tink for the green carnation!
I don’t think they did the set list that they’d planned. I know that they hadn’t been doing Yodel as much, so it was fun to have them pop that back in. The new tunes were awesome! Let it Roll is a wonderful “big dumb song” with epic qualities that will surely make it another of everyone’s faves. Tink is absolutely magical (the song, well …the woman too, but I’m referring to the song). It is a beautiful beautiful song, and an amazing tribute to the little girl in all women. It’s up on YouTube right now too and I just keep playing it over and over. Performing She’s In Her Own World right after Tink was PERFECT! That’s one that is especially close to my heart (gee, wonder why? LOL) and they’re just the perfect compliment to each other.
The Irish tunes were so full of life!! Amber had typed up the chorus to Oh, and one quick SQUEEEEEEEEEEE moment: NEW CD IN JULY!!!!!!!!!!! As always, the music was only part of what made the evening so special. I can’t think of anyone else, any other band that would recognize that someone that had come to attend a concert in another state, and that’s because they aren’t just a band. They’re our friends, people that we share our stories with, as much as they share their stories with us. They’re people that you’d go and grab a coffee with (a damn fine cup of coffee it is too!) and as always it seemed odd to leave and know that I wouldn’t be seeing them again for 3 weeks. Thank you, you beautiful Slambovians, for another evening filled with love and the reminder that the child inside of us all has to be set free in order to truly live.

View More Thursday Thirteen Participants Labels: Meme, Thursday Thirteen Thursday, March 08, 2007 Friday's Feast #2 Appetizer What is your usual bedtime? Do you like that, or would you rather it be different? Usually around 10:00 or 11:00 pm. If I didn't have to work in the morning, I'd probably be up until 2:00 or 3:00 am. Soup When it comes to advice, do you give more or receive more? Give. Actually, I tend to ask a lot of questions to make people think and come up with different thought processes. Salad Describe a memorable meal you've had. While many meals are wonderful, I find that I remember the company that I was in during the meal, rather than the specific foods. I know that I had escargot with Dan at the Real Seafood Co. That I had Boxty with Kelly and her family at Connor's, and I have no idea what I ate, but the night that we celebrated Bee and Diane's 50 birthdays and Mo's 40th will be a night that won't ever be forgotten. Main Course Name a work of fiction that affected the way you think about something. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. To make the affliction of time travel be a disease was brilliant, but the incredible love that they shared took me to another level of writing that I hadn't achieved before. Dessert What is your favorite type of fruit juice? Carrot. ok, it's not a fruit ...Apricot. Labels: Friday's Feast, Meme Wednesday, March 07, 2007 Thursday Thirteen #11 1. Candy Canes 2. Dark Chocolate 3. Peanut Butter 4. Macaroni & Cheese 5. Prime Rib 6. Cappuccino Chip Ice Cream 7. Hummus 8. Baklava 9. Lamb 10. Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cookies 11. Fettucini Carbonara 12.

Preppies in the 80s – Remember wood handled purses in pink and green? Soup Name something you thought you had lost, but later found. Gawd, in the mess that I live in this happens DAILY! A printer cartridge would be the most recent example. Salad In 3 words, describe this past week. Exciting, turbulent, psychoactive. Main Course What are you obsessed with? Ooh, one of those “just how honest do I want to be on the internet?” questions. Lol I’ll play it safe and say Checking Email. Dessert What kind of perfume or cologne do you like to wear? Renaissance Musk from Global Scent. Labels: Friday's Feast, Meme Thursday, March 01, 2007 Thursday Thirteen #10 (Welcome Back!)
