The Sound of Silence...

...and then...there was noise. Nathaniel and Geof visited with my folks this weekend. They left early Sunday afternoon and returned late last night. I stayed home to enjoy the tranquility. I had hoped to do nothing but crochet, but I took the opportunity instead to get some things done around the house. I did crochet a little while watching game 2 of the World Series. Go Cards!! I shampooed the carpet in the living room...which needed it more than I like to admit to the world. I also got all the floors swept, mopped, and thoroughly cleaned. I had the house spotless by the time my boys returned. Now things aren't as pretty, but better than usual.

We also have a new addition to the family. We got another cat. She came spayed and with up-to-date immunizations...and she was FREE!! My mom works with a lady who apparently has a couple whore-cats and now has too many kitties to handle...14 I think was the last count. We haven't decided on a name yet. I like Olive, but no one else seems to agree. We'll see. Geof is usually good with picking out unusual names so we'll just wait and see what he comes up with this time. I would post some pictures but kitty hasn't learned yet to pose...or to be still longer than 2 seconds...

...Aha, success!! Here she is taking a break from grooming herself.

There Coming To Get You, Barbara

Florida boater stabbed in chest by stingray

LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. - An 81-year-old boater was in critical condition Thursday after a stingray flopped onto his boat and stabbed him, leaving a foot-long barb in his chest, authorities said.

"It was a freak accident," said Lighthouse Point acting fire Chief David Donzella. "It's very odd that the thing jumped out of the water and stung him. We still can't believe it."

Read the rest of the story from Yahoo! News here.

All this killer stingray crap is kind of freaking me out a bit. In April 2004 Nathaniel and took a belated honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas. We stopped first on a private island owned by he cruise line where were spent the day on the beach and in the water. There were tons of wild stingrays swimming past our feet! I'm just glad I didn't piss one of them off!

PS-100 cool points if you can tell me which classic movie the title for this post came from!

A Water Slide Took My Anal Virginity

It was April of 2000 and I was a senior in high school. Every year the senior class took a senior trip to Florida for Disney's Grad Nite. I worked then and paid my own way...wish I had that money back now!! I think we were gone for a long weekend, not really sure how many days. We went to Disney World, Universals theme park (where you can ride the movies) and Islands of Adventure (my favorite), and Typhoon Lagoon. I hated Disney World. It could have been from lack of sleep and/or the fact that Disney World just loses it's charm after the age of 10! My memory is a bit fuzzy but I do remember not being allowed to sleep, people acting completely immature, rides not being as cool as I hoped, it was HOT, we were there until 5am!!!!, coming close to passing out and having my entire body ache from lack of sleep. I. Will. Never. Go. Back. EVER stolen...and our pride bruised. The water rushing into my colon at speeds I'd rather forget was agony along with the wedgie from Hell! I remember standing up, turning to Morgan and saying, "I think I'm hurt!" I seriously thought I would be dragging my intestines behind me as I walked. I also thought I had lost all control of my bowels. I felt like I had to shit right there and it was all I could do to hold it in. We ran back to the locker rooms, checked our wrecked selves, showered and called it a day. . Ok, I might take Geof one day, maybe. On the semi-plus side I can now say that I've seen Jessica Simpson and Destiny's Child perform...of course it was before they got all famous. Yay me. Universals theme park was ok. We did the whole Terminator 3-D thing which wasn't too corny. The Twister "ride" was a let-down, but still ok. The best thing was that my friend Morgan and I got to taste test yogurt and were paid $5. Islands of Adventure was the best of all. The rides were incredible the food was good (and not over priced) and it was actually fun! Ok, now comes the hardest part for me. Typhoon Lagoon and the evil water slide. There exists an evil water slide. I don't recall the name as it has been erased from my memory. It was one of those water slides that is really freaking tall and from the top it looks like a complete 90 degree fall straight down. Yeah. I should have known better...and I should have received some sort of butt clenching instructions/warnings!! So, my dear friend Morgan and I went down this beast. All was fine until we got to the bottom and we both had our anal virginitiesUnfortunately we couldn't just leave the park, we had to wait until the designated time for everyone to meet up and pile on the bus to leave. We bought some ice cream and sat in the shade where Morgan was then pooped on by a huge bird. Yeah, it was that kind of vacation...and I didn't shit right for a week. I've also never forgiven that damned water slide. I've since heard that we were not alone, they should really tell you to clench your butt cheeks together like a prison bitch. I think the only instruction we got was to cross one leg over the other and we all know now that didn't work!!

I hope you've enjoyed taking this trip down memory lane with me. I was going through some old pictures the other day and ran across a few post water slide enema pics. Oh yeah, and to add to the Hell I endured I also got my period unexpectedly thus was unprepared, I had to walk around in a bathing suit in front of my classmates (worse than the going to school naked dream), and I tripped and fell while in said bathing suit. At least Morgan and I have something laugh about now!

Avon Calling

I've been thinking about it for a while now and I finally took the plunge and became an Avon Lady. My Mom ran into my great aunt in town and they started chatting. Somehow Avon was mentioned and the fact that my aunt was a seller and the rest, as they say, is history. Geof and I were in town this weekend for Wee Runs and my parents and I had a joint yard sale. My aunt came over, answered my questions, and signed me up. I guess it's official. I think I'm going to like it, it's worth a shot at least. Christmas is coming up and the extra money would be really nice. Anyone need some Avon?

F#@$ You Rival!! ...The Finale

Wonder of all wonders I finally received my crock pot base in the mail Monday afternoon. A few more emails were exchanged since I last posted about this adventure, the last one giving me a phone number to call. So, I called the number and spoke with a very helpful gentleman who was shocked that no one had given me a status report on the whereabouts of my base. Apparently (this is according to the tracking info he gave me) the order to ship my base was entered into the system at 4:19pm on September 26th. My initial complaint was sent to the company on September 13th. I just wonder if I would have ever gotten my base had I not become such a thorn in their side? I did a little research before I wrote the first email and apparently I was not the only one who never heard from Rival after sending the requested info for the recall. Who knows. I'm just glad to have this matter resolved, but my opinion about the company has soured some.
