Houston, We Have a Problem
Okay, so this morning I get up and can’t find Andy, but I figure he’s asleep in the lanundry hamper in the bathroom and just start folding up the futon. Then I happened to look up.
That’s an eight foot bookcase. I said, “What in the hell are you doing up there?”
He said, “You talking to [...]

MissMeliss and Blogathon
In general I’m just too sleep-deprived and over-booked with projects to participate in Blogathon this year, although I have fond memories of my marathon, 24-hour blogging last year. The excellent MissMeliss, however, is blogging for First Book and it’s not too late to support her efforts. (Visit her site for details.)

Live Wires
I knew it was only a matter of time. I just didn’t think it would take two weeks. R.A., the batty neighbor on the end, finally looked out her back door toward the pool house and spotted the disturbed ground where the Wookie and I repaired the sprinklers.

The clerk looked at the dog and looked at her [...]

The Friday Five
Haven’t done a meme in ages, so here goes:
1. What talent(s) do you have that could make you famous?
Well, writing I suppose, although I’d love to think I’d take that once in a lifetime photo some day.

Pine Sol Puss
Having just gotten off a 1 hour+ telephone conversation with my Mother, I am out of viable blogging time for the day. I can tell you quickly that besides the heat, the big event of yesterday was R.’s blind, deaf, psychotic witch cat Mia’s foray into the land of Pine Sol.
You see, Mia jumped up [...]

The Voice of Compassion
Empress: Rana, was there a big wreck in the intersection today?
Me: Yeah, a little after 9 o’clock.
Empress: Darn, I missed the whole thing. I had to take L. to the hospital to get 3 units of blood.
