DOOL Frustrations
Ok, ever since we got the DVR, I record DOOL and Passions everyday and watch it. I usually get through both soaps in an hour, and on good days when I am sick of certain characters or stories, I can get through the 2 soaps in 45 minutes.....it's fantastic.....
Usually, I spend most of the time watching DOOL because the story lines move faster and I find some of the characters more interesting.....but not lately......I gotta say I HATE ALEX NORTH! I wish Jon would just come and axe him.....go back to your mercenary days and kill the bastard......Ugh! I've got frustrations with other characters, but I don't HATE any of them the way I hate Alex......I never even hated Stefano that much....this guy just really irks me.....
It bothers me that Phillip is so clueless....can he get any more dumb......I think he must be related to Ethan (from Passions) Both dumbasses and just don't get it......I'm getting pretty pissed at Belle too......just leave Shawn alone.....speaking of leave Shawn alone, I'm glad that Jan isn't there anymore....I hated her too......I kinda like Shawm & Mimi together though.....
I am sick of Sami always trying to find a way to get her parents back together....when is she going to get with it? And what is with naive goody-two shoes Austin....it's a little over the top....
Did you ever notice how many of the guys in soaps are naive and easily manipulated......take Bo for example.....apparently he can only act on fears of jealousy or sex, 'cuz him & Hope are always jumping on each other......and why can't Max and Patrick see what a Bitch Chelsey is?.....Those 2 guys just need to drop her and move on with their lives.....
You know - watching soaps is like watching a trainwreck over na dover in slow motion....you just can't stop looking even though you know it's not going to lead to anything good.....

Pets that Communicate
So, the other day Andy & I were watching a show on the Discovery Channel about Pets that Communicate........it really got us talking about our own pets and how they aren't nearly as amazing as the ones on the show (otherwise, I suppose they would be on the show).
But what I find amazing is that it is a Saturday morning at 5:30am and here I am on the computer.......no, it's not Christmas and Santa did not come.......I'm not watching cartoons......I'm not getting ready to leave on an early morning flight......I did not get a call to say that someone I know is hurt or dead.......
It's Freaking Larry.......oh, he can communicate......especially when the cat food dish is empty and he's hungry........so I have been up for about an hour.......tried to go back to sleep, but it didn't happen and not I've got some nausea setting in and not making me happy.....
But do you want to know what he does......he used to come in and knock over our water glasses.....boy that would piss us off....then we wised up and started bringing in bottles with caps....ha! Ha! Take that! We out smarted a cat.......well, not so fast, then somehow he figured out if he digs at the mini-blinds it makes a lot of noise and we wake up......he only does this when he needs food......so 4:30 this morning after he dug in my blinds, then went to dig in Andy's blinds, I finally got up........
Most of Larry's communication revolves around eating and sleeping....either he wants you to feed him (letting you know the bowl is empty or it's dinner time and he wants his tuna) or he wants you to sit or lay down so that he can come sleep on you......luckily for me the 16 pound cat always sleep next to me.....he likes to sleep in the crook of my arm resting his head and front paws either on my breast or ribs (always on the left side)......he's a pretty verbal cat and will meow about things that bother him, like if there is a hairball somewhere he wants cleaned or if he wants the litter box cleaned (probably 'cuz he took a really smelly dump)....when he meows, if you just follow him he will lead you to what is bothering him......
Lucy on the other hand.......she understands the word no and will leave if you tell her no......she comes when you call her name (actually both will, but Larry won't if he's too comfortable sleeping somewhere)........she lets you know that she is either feeling sick or proud (proud if she just killed a mouse) by becoming overly affectionate (neither of which you want her on you yawning, those times her breath stinks)....and if she wants tuna she'll rub your legs by the fridge.....she relies mainly on non-verbal communication.......when she's really happy and loves being pet she drools....kinda gross, but she drools all over you......and if she's mad at you, she turns away from you and seems to make it a point that she doesn't want to be by you or look at you.......
Now Molly.....she's dumb.....but she does communicate......like how she quietly sits there while we eat looking at us with those big dumb eyes that say "I'll take whatever you have leftover, even if I just get to lick the plate".........she knows that Go to Bed! means shut up in your kennel (or we're putting you in your kennel and you have to shut up)....she knows what go get your ball or go get your bear (she loves to demolish stuffed animals) or go get your stick means......She knows Where's the kitty? means where is lucy (we had molly & lucy before we got larry) and will go find lucy......it's actually kids cute......she lets us know that she has to go to the bathroom by wagging her tail fast and pacing in front of the door.....she has different barks in her kennel that tell us either she is out of food or she's lonely....sometimes she throws in a different bark when a mouse gets into her food in the kennel in the garage and she's killed it.....they're not heating her food, she kills those mice....although it's gross to see she drowns them in her water dish....YUK!....She knows Go into the House and loves those words......she knows go to your kennel (just as they are), but sometimes she doesn't want to go to her kennel and will lay on the ground and make herself deadweight......She knows what go for a walk means, even though it means she has to sit there and get her gentle leader put on.....
So, our animals do communicate to us.....they may not tell us that a tornado is coming (Larry hides for the smallest storm, while Lucy comes out and laps up the attention she gets because he's hiding and he won't get any) or that we have cancer or that a Tsunami is coming, or that Andy will be home in 10 minutes.......
Now, how do I get back to sleep.....

How Cruel Can You Be?
So, you're having a bad day and want to take it out on someone. How about a blond with flat abs? THIS is funny. Steph sent to me. I just love making her squeeze through 2 circles that look like they are connected. When she comes it the other end it's like 2 white butt cheeks pooped her out. And then -- stop her falling in mid air and drag her around and pound her head against stuff. This is great.
Here are the instructions to the above link:
Note: When she gets stuck, left click and drag her free..
That's it! HAVE FUN!

So Tired......
I've been busy and tired and have been neglectful of blogging. It might also be that things have been a little uneventful, which is sometimes good.
Although the cleaning lady came for the first time yesterday.....that was nice. My sink and tub were so sparkly....it's great!
Next Saturday I teach a couple of classes for a group of child care providers. My friend Rebecca is the director os the organization that is providing this series of classes. I am teaching the classes that I teach at the Community College. I am pretty excited to do the Stress Management one. I am going to do a progressive relaxation as part of the class. When I did this for my college students they really enjoyed it and had a lot of positive feedback.
This Saturday we are having dinner over at Rebecca & Dave's house. Not sure what we'll do tonight.....during the day this weekend we plan on finishing painting. We're re-decorating some stuff upstairs.....Andy wants his office to be more masculine (flowers be gone!).....and we're changing wall colors and bought some new windows treatments, new art, and am adding a reading nook area......should turn out nice.

What A Start to a Day!
Sometimes you just gotta love living in a rural area. I called into the local radio station to answer a question and win soem prizes and I WON! Well, actually they could have said Too bad! because it was a 2-part question and I only got the first part right. But they almost always give you a 2nd chance to answer it correctly. My question was how many fingers does Fred & Barney (of the Flintstones) have? How many toes?
I guessed 4 fingers since I knew that the Simpsons have 4 and thought maybe that was a cartoon standard. But guess how many toes.....Three! That seems weird. I think I may have to find an episode on cable and check it out.
For the loot I collected it is a gift certificate to a local restaurant (probably $10 worth) and 2 passes to a haunted corn maze.
Woohoo!
