Armed and Dangerous
First I owe everyone apologies- I have been in a funk, and hiding under my covers reading - well we won't discuss what exactly 🙂 Because of that I wasn't answering comments the way I should and I don't have an edited post for you today. But I have things to say- so welcome to the crazy world of my thoughts without Kilian to save me from myself! When life gets overwhelming I pull out my Cozi to-do list and try and breathe and work through things one manageable task at a time. When this doesn't...
Walking the Cat
One day I decided to take Pooder, my cat, for a walk. I was probably about nine or ten, and I don’t remember anyone else being around. I guess my parents were working, and Brandy must have been at a friend’s house. I was bored and decided that taking Pooder for a walk would be a good thing. I didn’t have a leash, but I did have a jump rope. After hunting Pooder down from where she was sleeping under the bed, I pinned her down and tied the jump rope carefully around her middle. It would have...
A Vampire I Want to Sink My Teeth Into
It is a Halloween Miracle!! Like Linus wait for the Great Pumpkin many of us have waited patiently, or some not so patiently. We have watched as angsty, emo, whiny, weak vampires have dominated the screen. And now our sincerity in wanting a real vampire, waiting and knowing they are out there has been answered. Take a moment to bask in the glory of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Dracula!!!! This is a new take on the classic story and will be set in Victorian London!!! Deep breath. Okay according to...
Shopping for the Zombie Apocalypse
Zombies are big right now. Dreaming of the apocalypse, a time of no cell phones and getting to kill the people who piss you off, but only if they’re zombies of course, *whistles innocently* is something many of us daydream of. But this is serious business. I mean what if something happens? What if there is a virus/catastrophe/fall of all that we know? Are you ready? I thought I was ready until my son bounded out of his room all excited and showed me this: Z.E.R.O. (Zombie Extermination,...
Be careful what you wish for, you might get a two-year-old!
Or How the Universe helped me to do only one thing at a time. A while back I was venting/complaining/sharing about how I multi-task constantly! At this point I’m more likely to read on my laptop than my Kindle, because I can knit while reading on my laptop! Seriously the multi-tasking has gone too far. Anyway, I guess I inadvertently “asked” the universe for help with my multi-tasking issues, because I now have a two-year-old. It is very difficult to multi-task with a two-year-old around. I...
The Betrayal of Glee
When Glee first came out I was so excited I couldn’t sit still when talking about it. I counted down the days from the pilot to the first show. I bought the DVDs, the CDs, went to the first live show, and got in line at 5 a.m. at Comic Con to see their panel! I was a HUGE Glee fan. During the second season I stayed true to Glee, looking forward to Wednesday night with great anticipation. I would squeal over the episodes on FaceBook and Twitter, and talk about them with friends. And then...
I survived the first 18 years!!!
My son, Logan, is turning 18 on Friday and I want a gift. Yes, I know traditionally the birthday boy would a get a gift, and he will. I’m thinking of getting him a passport so he can go on all these grand adventures he has planned. It is significant because I’m 38 and I have never even had or needed a passport. I’m also giving him money because there is an EMT class he is saving up to take over the summer. Don’t worry, he doesn’t read my blog and even if he did, he already knows about this...
Waiting for Spock
When my sister and I were little we would dress up in my mother’s old bridesmaid dresses and play games in the yard. Most of the time we played Star Trek. (The original series; the others weren’t around yet.) We would be princesses of some planet, and we needed to be rescued. We would walk back and forth, yellow and peach taffeta twirling around us, as we worked out the details and searched for our rescuers. I almost always picked Spock to rescue me. My sister picked Kirk. Yes, she has...
Ninja Roaches!
Last year a woman moved in upstairs and brought cockroaches with her. Not the big sewer roaches, but the small, evil, little brown ones that can live between the pages of a book. I have kept everything clean, bombed, sprayed, and found out Pine-Sol works the best, FYI. At first I just screamed, ran to find a shoe, and hoped the roach would stay put. But now that I am a master roach assassin, I’ve even smacked a few with my bare hands! However, every time I go for one I worry that this one will...
Cat Radio
I grew up in Alaska, and sometimes it was just too cold and dark to play outside. So my sister and I would play games, watch TV, and eventually get bored. Then we would attack the cats. The poor, poor cats. They would be dressed up in our old baby clothes. We tried to train them, but they were resistant One when I was about eight time they were our special guests on our radio show. I had a tape recorder; it was pink with those black oil stickers that changed color when you touch them, remember...
