Hey Drivel, Drivel The Kitty and The Fiddle
(The Cat Just Hurled In My Shoe)

KBOR

More randomness to get you through your workday (just like those K-LITE radio stations, except even more boring):

--On Dog The Bounty Hunter last night (it might've been a repeat), it was Valentine's Day and Dog and his cohorts must've said "Valentime's Day" no less than 852 times. That's one of my big pet peeves and it hit my nerve each and every time they said it. And no, I didn't change the channel.

--I can smell Fall in the air. Call me crazy, but I can. Also, the light outside has changed. Fall is on it's way. We also have a yard full of acorns and pecans, thanks to the 6,532 squirrels that reside there (and thanks to my nasty 20lbs/weekly birdseed habit, which is about as expensive and dangerous as a bad coke habit. Luckily, we can buy the birdseed at Costco. I don't think that Costco sells cocaine though.)

--We're (I'm) having a predicament in finding a church for us. We've been going to one in our neighborhood and I like everything about it except that we're the youngest people who go there and I get nothing, zero, zilch from the sermon. I thought that I wasn't able to get into the sermons in the past because either Kevin or myself was wrestling the kiddo the whole time. This past Sunday, we left her in the nursery, so we both settled in to really listen to the sermon. I couldn't follow it to save my life. I'm sorry, but you can't just throw scripture at me and call it a "lesson". I need some real-world implications. So, I'm researching new churches for us to try next week. There's no sense in going to a church that you don't get anything out of, eh?

--We have a new cleaning lady starting today. I've gone through so many in the past 5 years, I can't even keep track of them all. Here's what I want (and tell me if it's asking too much):

~someone who will move my dining room/breakfast room chairs out of the way when they sweep/mop...instead of just going around them

~someone who will make our bed look pretty...not with the comforter turned upside down and backward and the throw pillows stacked in some odd, sacrificial manner at the foot of the bed

~no drama. Don't wanna know about your son who's in prison or your car problems. Sorry, I'm heartless like that. Please just clean.

~please scrub my kitchen sink...that's all I ask

~oh, and dust too. I'm tired of having to go and clean the house myself as soon as the housekeeper walks out the door.


I'm demanding, aren't I? Well, the new lady who starts today is supposed to be fantastic and she seems so nice and *normal*. She also seems to have a dependable car (GASP!) and no children in the pokey.

--Kevin is off Thursday--Monday this week. I'm very excited.

--Not so excited about going to the dentist on Friday though. I know that I have some stuff going on up in my grill, so that won't be fun. I anticipate a few cavities and such. That's what I get for not going to check ups regularly.

--I have a new television obsession: Flipping Out on Bravo. It's a show that follows this guy who does really high-dollar (ugh, hate that term too) real estate flips in California. He does everything top-notch and makes oodles of money. He's also very demanding and can be quite an asshole. I love it and wish I could be more like him.

--My beloved hair stylist told me that I was "radiantly beautiful" when I went to get my hair "did" last week. Seriously, I'm not sure what I'm paying for, the actual hair cut or the compliments. Gay men sure do know how to talk to the ladies. Straight dudes, take note. Of course, if Kevin told me that I was "radiantly beautiful", I'd probably worry that he was gay.

--Onto baby stuff (what you're really here for anyway):

~Anna is sorta, kinda crawling now. She gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. Then, she goes back down on her tummy, scoots on her face to get where she wants to go and then gets back up on all fours. She's a trickster!

~She's got 2 teeth! The two bottom ones came in within days of one another. Aside from some bedtime fussys, she's really been a trooper about it.

~I have a picture to post, but am currently fighting with this computer, so you might have to wait until tomorrow until I can get it working.
