Letterboxing

Fabulous!

I just got home from seeing Broadway Rose's production of Joesph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It was a fabulous production. Joesph has always been one of my favorite musicals. Julie & I saw it at Lakewood Theater a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it, but this production blew that one out of the water. It was fun, frivolous, well cast, had great costumes, and lots of laughs. Oh, and some very inspired bananas.

Anyone in the Portland area reading this really needs to invest $30 and go see this show before it ends on March 6th. It's well worth the price of admission. You won't be sorry!

Home Sick

Well, that stupid cold moved in and made itself all comfortable. I was home sick today. While I felt like crap and slept most of the day, I did have some perks. I was in bed with my whippets (for healing touch), iTouch (for games), iPod (for music), cell phone (to run everyone at work while at home) and my new netbook (for keeping up with Frontierville). Now if I could just get rid of the graham cracker crumbs in my bed, I'd be in heaven!

Great

And a big fat sarastic THANNK YOU to everyone who came to work sick and gave me their stupid cold cooties. I tried to send you all home, but did you listen to me? Now I have a cough and a stuffy head.

Thanks for sharing...not.

Mine!

Greg's new bed is here and installed. He's painted the room a lovely gray color, replaced the trim, put up a headboard, installed new nightstands and lights, got new sheets and a blanket, and, most importantly, IS SLEEPING IN HIS NEW BED! Which means the girls and I are back to normal. I actually slept pretty well last night and Carmen & Sophie were in the same spots when I woke up, so I think they slept well, too. G said he actually slept some last night too, so happiness abounds in our separate bedrooms.

It sounds so cold to say that we don't share a bedroom, but after sharing for a while, I remember why we went to this arrangement.

He still has some things to do (like window treatments and redoing the closet) before the room is completely finished, but it is at least functional. I'll see if he'll let me in his room long enough to take some pictures to post here.

Progress is a good thing.

It's Time to Chill

Okay, world. It's time for everyone to take a chill pill. People are going freaking bonkers out there. Mailing puppies in priority mail boxes at USPS? "Euthanizing" sled dogs (whatever you do, DON'T read the details on this atrocity...you'll have nightmares)? Backing out of driveways on to busy streets without looking? Meeting police responding to a 911 call with a rifle in hand? Walking on freeways? Are you people freaking crazy? Not to mention the rising gas prices, budget cuts, unrest in Egypt, bad weather across the US, a cyclone hitting Austrailia....it's like there is a full moon out there 24/7 with Mother Nature in a very bad mood.

Everyone take a deep breath. Take two extra seconds to think about what you are doing. Hug your dog/cat/kid/spouse/fish. Walk in the woods. Go letterboxing. Do a puzzle. Unplug from your electronic world and just breathe. We'll all get through this. Let's not try to kill each other in the meantime.

On the plus side, Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring! Yay, Phil!

Oh Gods of New Beds...

...have pity on us poor mortals and make Greg's new mattress come in today. I don't think I can share my bed much longer!

That sounds silly, doesn't it? G & I have slept in seperate rooms for years. Because he's getting a new bed and gave his old one to his niece, we've been sharing again. No one is especially happy about this. The dogs are pissed because they always sleep with me and are kicked out of THEIR bed and banished to their (heated) dog beds in the office. I'm annoyed because he's a bed hog and a cover hog and listens to the radio really loud. He's annoyed because he's a very light sleeper and every noise or move I make wakes him up. None of us are getting much sleep. Not only that, I'm wearing black shoes with blue pants today because I got dressed in the dark. Woe is me!

Huh. Guess I don't share that well anymore!
