The Bachelor – Will I ever watch again?

Mar 4th, 2009 Posted in Miscellaneous | no comment »

Maybe. Maybe not. But before I decide, I feel obligated to express my disgust with Jason from the most recent season of The Bachelor. He actually proposes to Melissa, then 6 weeks later dumps her live on national television and asks Molly if they can give it another go.

Unstable Conversation

Feb 24th, 2009 Posted in Poetry | no comment »

You’re broken
And it’s pressing down on me
I’ve got nowhere else to go
So I turn to you and smile
Taking in all your fanatical logic
Listening to you rant and rave
I wonder if anyone has ever
Looked at me
The way I’m looking at you now
I stop the negative thoughts
To mirror my outward appearance inside
So my true feelings do not emanate
Out of my telling eyes and mistakenly reveal
How broken you really are

Dog Toys

Feb 18th, 2009 Posted in Cali | no comment »

For Valentine’s Day, I got Cali a pink porcupine stuffed animal that is holding a small red heart. When squeezed, the heart makes a smooching noise three times. Cali is a fan of all noise-making toys so I thought this one would be a hit. But instead of her activating the noise over and over again like she does with her other noise-making toys (turkey, kitty-cat, wolf, harley davidson bone) she actually spent an entire afternoon working her hardest to remove one of the arms from the poor porcupine’s body, all without the heart smooching once.

Don’t Fix It, Replace It!

Feb 16th, 2009 Posted in Miscellaneous | no comment »

That is never something you want to hear from a guy talking about your furnace. A quick and easy fix can also be inexpensive. Buying a brand new replacement is not. For your viewing pleasure…

Just A Dog

Feb 11th, 2009 Posted in Miscellaneous | no comment »

From time to time people tell me, “Lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “That’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, time spent, or cost involved for “Just a dog.”

Jack Attack

Feb 8th, 2009 Posted in Cali | no comment »

In this video, Cali’s just the referee. The victim is the large golden retriever named Buddy and the instigator is the wily little guy named Jack. The black border collie in the background, Zoe, wants no part of it. Let’s see what happens when Jack attacks…

Rain, Rain – Go Away!

Feb 6th, 2009 Posted in Cali | no comment »

It is raining again today and the snails have come out in droves. I killed a couple last night while wearing my rubber-bottom slippers. Ick! Cali does her best to prance around the slimy creatures, but despite her tip-toes, I can still hear a CRACK! now and then.

Need More Sleep

Feb 2nd, 2009 Posted in Miscellaneous | no comment »

I have come to the realization that I might not be getting enough sleep. I go to bed every night at 11:00pm, then wake up between 5:45 – 6:00am. I am fine on Monday-Wednesday, but come Thursday I am hurting for sure. I hit the wall by about 2:00pm every Thursday and that is the time of the day that I’m searching for some sugar or caffeine to give me the boost that I need to make it to 4:30pm when I get to go home.

Birthday Cards

Birthday cards are great. I love to open them all up and read them slowly to fully gain the thought that went into picking that card. I think my favorite birthday cards are the ones I receive in the mail.
