"I'll just take this corner right here"

Here is the new bed we bought for Elvis. It was meant to go in his kennel so he would be warm and comfy. He decided he hated it soooo much that he tried to eat it. When that failed he removed it from the kennel all on his own. Twice. Now that it has been exiled from the kennel Linus decided that he likes it. So of course Elvis wants it back. Now they share it, I’m not sure that Linus is 100% behind the idea of sharing but he clearly doesn’t have much of a choice. The kennel has since turned into the napkin/bra/important paperwork shredding area.

Beck, you are kind of a pain in the ass

Listening to Beck right now - Guero CD. What the hell is he saying right before Girl in the chorus of "Girl". At first I thought it was Summer but I looked it up and two sources say Sun-eyed. The lyrics on the CD insert say "my.....girl". I'm going to stick with Sun-eyed when I sing it while driving. It's just easier that way. Now I can tackle other problems, perhaps I can cure cancer though knitting having the Beck issue behind me.

ah gin, i love gin.

I made a new years resolution for 2006

I don’t usually make resolutions but I did this year because I knew it was one I could keep & truly want to keep. I decided that I would take 12 new classes this year. I only have to go once if I don’t like it. Over the year I want to attempt 12 new skills. Tonight I took a hand knitting class with a new friend. It was easier for me than I expected since I know how to machine knit. Using a knitting machine is very different but I already had the knowledge of tensions & stitch gauges so that was cool. I definitely want to keep hand knitting if only to expand on my machine knitting skills. My next class will be yoga. I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy that as well. I took a yoga class awhile back but twisted my ankle the next day so that was that for the time being. It still counts as a “new skill” in my book. : )

Some other classes I think I will try this year –
Silkscreening
The class to finally get my motorcycle license.
Golf (I really enjoy the driving range but I have no idea what I’m doing)
Cooking
Race car driving (post Lottery win)

Is it or isn’t it?

I can’t say for sure. I got a call this evening from the woman who found this turtle. He was casually walking down the sidewalk on 30th Street – 1.83 miles away. He’s really dirty and larger than I remember but he does have a very familiar face. (Stop laughing at me) His size kind of threw me but there is a lot of foliage to eat in between here and there & six months is a long time. I told the woman that I couldn’t say for sure if it was mine. She asked if I could take him anyway since she didn’t have a place for him. Anyone who knows me knows I had to take him. I just can’t say no, after all, we have room. So here he is in his temporary abode a.k.a the bathtub. I don’t want to put him in with the other turtles until I know he’s healthy. If it is my escapee, I’m permanently changing his name to Mint Jelly. If it isn’t, well..his new name is now Mint Jelly.

Mint Jelly??? Is it really you? No longer on the lamb?

Someone has found a turtle in North Park! Could it be Mint Jelly? I'm anxiously awaiting their email. Gadzooks, he's a tough little turtle. I knew he could survive out there if he could avoid the racoons. It's been 6 months since he climbed his way to freedom. His brothers will be happy to see him again. I hope it really is him. HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE!?!

I make myself sick.

I stumbled upon a website last week and got a good laugh out of it. I’m not the type to read tabloids unless it involves aliens or batboy or Jesus hanging out with aliens or some other combination of Batboy, Jesus & aliens. Even then they are only good reading on road trips. But this website has me hooked, I have checked in at least once a day since I found it (ok…maybe twice a day). It’s horribly mean but I love it. Perhaps if I can get someone else hooked then I won’t feel so bad about myself for loving it.
