So I didn't pass my skating test - not that I thought I would, I just wanted the input from the judges. And it was very informative.Also, what I worried about wasn't a big deal and what I've been working on 4EVAH still sucks. What can you do, right? But I didn't go all "yeep" which is a BIG DEAL for me. And nobody was watching! Even when I did screw up, I got it back together and kept on

So I have a skating test coming up and the club sends me the test schedule. I'm looking it over and I realize that there are only TWO other people in a very large (5+ hour) test session that are taking higher level tests than ME.Fuck.That means PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING ME and oh, how I just HATE that! Now I get to agonize over it until the deed is done. Hell's Bells and Cockel Shells!Seriously -

I hope everyone lit their pumpkins and had the bonfire last night! You've got to keep those hobgobs at bay!The Creatures are fine. The Batface seems to be as unhappy about the colder weather as I am. She has been curling up in a Batball next to me every chance she gets. I keep trying to get her to lay on One Eye but he gets too hot and waddles off. So the Bat and I are left to keep each

It was great! I took The Beast out this weekend to mow the grass/mulch leaves. Most of the maple trees have lost their leaves so I figured it would be a good time to just mow them over. I refuse to rake the lawn - I will rake out the flower beds a bit and then mow up the leaves but it's pointless to rake leaves. They just blow right back into the yard anyway.So I mow them down where they stand

Princess Bat Originally uploaded by melt2sk8The Princess Bat in her Elizabethan ruff and little crown.She is spoiled and needy and talks to herself quite a bit if I don't pay enough attention to her.You can see her "owning hands" in this shot. I love her little kissy-face and kiss her on her flat face a lot. Especially when she puts the owning hands on me and makes me rub her bat belly.

So can paying bills, cleaning the house and generally not doing anything "fun" (like digging in the yard or reading a book).I would say that cleaning up dog poo on the kitchen floor

But he does!I CAUGHT him in the ACT! He thought I had gone to work one day and I had not - I had just gone upstairs.

Things That Puzzle Me:* Why my one-eyed little Sasquatch sleeps with his one eye down instead of up. It doesn't make much sense to sleep with the one eye you have on the floor.* How I keep managing to run into tables, door jambs and chairs when *I* can see perfectly well. And I have two eyes.* Financial hoo-doo. I'm sure I'm not the only one puzzled by this but probably the only one who dares

Not earth-shattering things but just events from my current life that I remember quite vividly.In no particular order.Sitting in an innertube on a lake in the summer reading a book. My college roommate and I going to a store and me trying on this floor-length red-sequined strapless mermaid dress and exclaiming, "I'm a GIRL!"My brother mouthing off to my mom and her smashing a pie in his face.

Today I will talk about The Creatures for the most part.With the cooler weather, Tobs has become more animated. The Bat's coat is thinner so she and I are not too happy with the cold evenings. But Little Tobs now will run down the street instead of dragging along like he did this summer. He is so cute with his little ears flopping and his tongue hanging out (it always hangs out since the one side

Winter cannot be far behind. And I hate winter. The Farmer's Almanac says it should be a mild one and certainly do hope so. Last year more than made up for any mild winter's we've had.I still need to get some firewood and figure out a new place to put it. Maybe I'll just put it on the back porch again and let the dogs pee on it. They can only reach the first row, anyway.(My office mate

Well, because I sat down and read Erasmus In Praise of Folly and actually *enjoyed* it!Then I was struck with some sort of illness that made me start reading The Decameron. And I liked the parts I read of that as well.I was so frightened by this madness that I stopped reading and tried to play a game of "free cell". I was not

He had recently come down with breathing difficulties and for the last few days was growing worse. Mom made the decision to have him put down when it became obvious he was slowly and painfully dying."Wheezie" as he

It has been a long while since I've posted. I went to Pennsic and returned (mostly) unscathed. A little worse for wear (as usual) but happy and content.The one thing I don't like about war is going back to work. Ugh. Makes me realize how unfulfilling and unhappy it makes me.

The Summer Solstice has come and gone already.In some ways it seems like time is flying by and in other ways (work) it seems to drag.It's not the "work" really. It's the management. She's still a blithering paranoid idiot who now seems to think I shouldn't take a vacation because she will be "left here alone". Bitch, please!

Or allergies, actually. The pollen count has been astronomical lately and my poor eyes are like sandpaper. The allergy meds don't seem to be working very well altho they are better than nothing (which would be truly miserable). Mowing the grass just kicks up more pollen, dust and leaf mold which makes both me and the dogs sneeze like fiends.Poor Toby had a seizure last night. I felt so sorry

It's been two months since The Butter died and I miss her every day. She was an excellent companion.It's been one month since I picked up my "new" dogs - Bella and Toby.They seem to be adjusting ok. There are still some issues about pottying in the house which is annoying but we're dealing with that.Tobs is like some stoned jazz musician. I think he potties in the house partly because of his

Since my new overlords arrived.  They have conveniently "forgotten" that they have been housebroken.  So I've had to remind them - which has been harder on me BY FAR than on them.  I just HATE putting them in their carriers and only taking them out to potty and walk.  But it has to be done.I took them to the vet on Friday to get them a general baseline and to make sure neither of them had any

I picked up the dogs over the weekend.  It was quite a drive - rain, hail, dark of night - we pretty much hit it all.  The rain was coming down in sheets then it started hailing.  Seriously bogus.But we arrived ok and picked up the dogs.  There are two of them - Tobias and Bella.  Him - a one-eyed, three-toothed stoned jazz musician.Her - a pretty, insecure princess who needs lots of attention.He

since The Butter died and I've cried every damned day.Thank God for Ambien.  I seriously think I would have had a nervous breakdown if I hadn't been able to get some sleep.  At times I almost feel guilty for eating.  I'm very reluctant to get any fast food since there is no one to share it with.  The Butter loved french fries.  She wasn't particular about the place, either.  McD's, Wendy's, BK -

for Molly McButter Butt. She died this morning in my arms at the hospital of congestive heart failure.I am absolutely heartbroken. She was an excellent companion and a good dog. I am very sorry that we didn't get to spend more time together. I was hoping that we would have at least 3-5 years together before she passed.She was older than I thought but that probably doesn't make a difference.

Seriously.As I had written before, my Aunt Bea died at the beginning of December (and Kim, her daughter, died in July). So I really wasn't too enthused about the holidays to begin with.On Christmas Day, mom and I went to visit Uncle Barry (her younger brother) and take him some dinner.We found him dead.Epic suck.So this has been the WORST holiday EVER as far as I'm concerned.Nothing like

It's our last "full week" of work before the holidays. Yay! I'm so ready for a vacation I can't even stand it.I'm still a bit tearful and clingy regarding Aunt Bea. Mom asked me why I keep calling everyday. I told her I am just being needy and she's going to have to deal with it for a while. I guess I want re-assurance that everyone else is ok. So sue me for being clingy. The dog got a bath

My Aunt Bea (yes, I have an "aint bea") died last week. Her daughter, Kim, died over the summer and Aunt Bea just never could come to grips with it.Now I'm very sad and have been bawling like a lost pup since the funeral on Saturday. It's hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. For a lot of reasons - one being I'm worried about my mom (her sister). And others for reasons I don't care to

Again.There was a big old traffic jam and I didn't get home until late the other night. Later than McButter *thinks* I should be home. So she shunned me the rest of the night. Really - you'd think SHE had the opposible thumb!Whatever.Mom and I went to see my uncle. He looked pretty rough at first but as we were there and started talking to him, he perked up.

Finally! I was planning on going in to work today but I don't think I will. I have some things around here I'd like to get done - mostly cooking. And hanging more pictures and putting up my new blinds that finally came in. That will be nice to get those up.The dog is sitting on her new pillow watching SportsCenter and growling at the TV.

The brewing is mostly done. Mostly. I have two more flavors I'd like to try then we'll call it a season.The dog had a cold in mid-October. Poor thing. She didn't want to go outside or anything. Just lay around and sleep. I think she caught it at the vet's office when we went in to get her shots updated. She started feeling pretty bad a few days later and her eye got all full of nasty

She was in a lot of pain at the end so it was better for her but hard for her mom. I can't really talk about it because it makes me all teary so I'll try and write about it later when it doesn't bother me so much. I had to miss Pennsic this

With mosquito bites and it's driving me MAD!GAH!  I took a bath in oatmeal and that seemed to help but those fuckers just FEAST on my poor hide as soon as I walk out the door.Where the FUCK is that bat when I need it?  It was flying around last night but with all these damned skeeters, I'll need a swarm of bats to be rid of the damned things!The bat box is going UP this weekend - clothesline or

Is getting on my nerves.This dumb ass German bitch is running around hysterically crying that she needs this and that and the other thing from us or her site will shut down. Right.I asked her what the priority is and she just said "all of them- right now!" And, of course, she didn't bother to copy the boss. Oh, no.

Yesterday it rained all day which was ok.  I mean, it was kinda bogus that it rained out a lot of the fireworks but it gave me a chance to get some stuff done inside.When it's nice out, I want to be working in the yard.  But since it rained yesterday, I had to stay inside and put stuff away.  The humanity!  I did get a lot of stuff put up - or at least more boxes opened and things sorted.  Slowly

Brrrr - only supposed to get in the low 70's today. WTF? After the 90's of last week I'm now freezing my ass off. This weather is just stupid.Saturday night, I discovered that there ARE bats around my house so now I have to get the box up for them to roost and hopefully attract some more of them. They were out flitting around about 10pm on Saturday night. Very cool to watch them. The damned

And it really is a pain in the butt. I probably started back on my "regular" activities too early but what the hey - not doing anything was just driving me crazy and making me fat. There is still a ton of stuff in storage that I'd like to get out and I still haven't finished painting or wall papering. I think I might have to bite the bullet and just take some time off and get it done.The kitchen

So I moved at the beginning of the month, right? And I need to mow the grass. There's a mower on craigslist so my bro and I go over there to check it out. It runs good, seems to be in good order so I buy it and take it home.The next day I'm mowing the lawn and the fucking wheel falls off. One of the front ones. Fuck. (Now bear in mind that this is a push mower and I've got roughly 1/2 acre.

It's almost June and I'm finally getting around to update. I've been quite busy.Found a house and have been living in limbo for about 2 weeks (neither here nor there just in between). And trying to keep skating and taking my violin lesson all the while. After many months of looking, driving and checking around, I finally found a house that is perfect for what I want. It's a small cape cod

It's been a while since I've written. It just sort of slipped by - but it didn't get any warmer. The infernal cold is back and it STILL sucks mightily. It snowed again yesterday. I'm so tired of this bullshit cold I could just scream. I'm tired of wearing enough clothes for three people because it's so damned cold. Just stop with the nasty weather already and GIVE US SPRING!!DAMMIT!This past

fucking snow and cold! Ugh. I hate it. And it needs to cease immediately.I've had about enough of this stupid snow and ice and tires frozen to the driveway. Fuck that nonsense. Give me summer. NOW. I'm tired of bundling up like some sort of Michelan Man and not being able to get into the car because I'm so fat with clothes. This is just miserable. I really seriously hate winter. Always

Wasn't long enough for me to recouperate. I'm still pretty freaking tired from all of the selling preparation that I did this weekend. I rented a POD to put my holiday stuff, fabric and camping stuff in. Amazing how much JUNK I've managed to accumulate over the years. The POD came on Friday before 8am (thankfully, I was up and dressed and had finished walking the dog). As soon as it came and

It has been a little over a month since I moved to my "furever" home with my new Big Dog. I like it here because there are a lot of people to watch and things to smell. I love sitting in front of the glass door and watching everyone come and go. Sometimes I bark and sometimes I just lay in the sun and sleep.Everyday Big Dog takes me for a walk early in the morning. We see people leaving for

Yes, already.Hey Vegasm - send me an email woman! I miss you!So everyone is back in the office on the road. Nobody apparently took driving lessons while they were off over the holiday. Idiots in SUV's cutting people off as they try to swill their overpriced latte and yap on the cell phone while driving.

Is upon us.  Where we look back at the old year and look forward to the new.Personally, it was a year that ended up better than it started.  The year began with a new job and physical therapy for my sprained LCL.  I worked two skating competitions and a test session.  I also skated in three competitions (which was nice) and by June my knee was feeling much better and I had lost my limp.Over the

Certainly much faster than I had anticipated altho I've been quite lazy and not done much of anything lately.The Solstice came and went and it was rather depressing seeing the sun so low and pale in the sky. "The dying god" indeed. But now the days will get longer (yay!) and summer will come - eventually.Molly met The Creature and he quickly learned that she doesn't take too kindly to having

That's what I thought the headline said. Obviously I didn't get enough sleep last night. Or the night before. Ah, well. The weekend will soon be here and I can lay around on my getting fatter butt and sleep.Molly is doing very well and, more importantly, I have realized that it's ok to leave her alone while I'm at work or out skating. She doesn't seem to mind at all. Mostly she lays around

Today I picked up my adopted rescue dog.  The weather, of course, had to be just awful - snowing, blowing, drifting.  Ugh.  The foster mom was 1/2 hour late meeting me because the roads were so bad.  But everything worked out in the end.Molly - my adopted dog - is home now.  She is a very good and well-mannered dog.  I put her in a crate to bring her home so I could strap it in (had the weather

So the 'rents and I took our annual pilgrimage to Vegas this year over Thanksgiving. I lost my ass on slot machines. I wasn't in too much of a mind to be around others playing craps or roulette altho I was winning at both. I just wanted to mindlessly sit and watch those wheels spin around. That's what I did and I lost my ass. Oh, well.But I DID manage to get 90% of my Christmas shopping done

Ah, so the election is over. And I am glad for several reasons.First and foremost because now I can actually breathe and sleep since the nightmare of the last 8 years is over. It's such a relief to know I don't have to worry about my rights being trampled on as they have been under this reign of horror. Thank the gods that people have finally wised up and said "hell NO!" to theocracy and war.

Skating this time. Not just cooking and making booze. (Altho the next batch of cider is ready to finish off and bottle off! YUM!)Saturday I had three compulsory programs. For the first one, I managed somehow to put my dress on backwards so I was trying to take it off and turn it the right way when my pro came in the locker room and said they were 1/2 way thru my warmup.Funny thing is, it kept

Of NOT doing what every one else *thought* I should be doing. They wanted me to show up to their event (that I didn't want them to do anyway) and work all day for nothing. Uh, no. Besides, I avoid those types as much as possible so I would rather not be involved in being "seen" if you know what I mean!Instead, I stayed home and worked for MYSELF!

Some people are just plain lazy slobs. My co-worker is one of those. Sometimes I'd just like to slap him and tell him to STFU and get to work.He wanders the hallways chit-chatting about his golf score and trying to get people to play golf with him. When he's not outside smoking.He flatly refuses to box or ship anything - even in an emergency because it's "beneath" him to do so. That's why we

And all is quiet.  Thankfully.It has been an interesting few days.  Friday I stopped by the local home brewers "outlet" to pick up some stuff to make more meade and try my hand at some cider.  Apple cider is in season now and having some hot ass-kicking cider around the holidays sounds really awesome.So I picked up a couple of carbouys, some "bubblers" (I know that isn't the proper name but

Sunday the area got hit with the winds from Hurrican Ike. No rain, just 75MPH winds ripping up trees and downing power lines. It was kinda scary.We get tornados but they are usually pretty contained and don't last for hours. This thing blew over several counties for a couple of hours.

This past weekend I was at the last Baronial camping event of the season. It's always so much fun and yet sad because it pretty much means the camping season is over for most people (there are a few others I plan on attending but I don't know if "everyone" will be there).It was a good time. Saturday I taught my class and that went very well. After my class I started getting the food ready for

And I have a crazed hummingbird that flies at my head.It's a she hummingbird. You'd think she would not attack the head that feeds her but no. And she scares me when she flies at my head and I hear this really loud "BZZZZZZZ!" in front of my face. The first time she did this I thought she was a bee and flicked my pony tail in that direction. Then she flew at my face which caused me to squeak

Let me begin at the beginning before we get to the strange part.While at war, Lily (not The Bean) from Virginia stopped over on one of her morning visits to us and told us about this music that she had recently purchased. We told her to bring it on over so we can listen to it (along with her "bard box" to play it on) and she does. The music is nice altho a bit sleep-inducing by the slow melodies

*Insert Big Sad Face Here*It's so nice to go camping at Pennsic with everyone and be able to eat when I want and sleep when I want without having to satisfy "The Man". Everytime I come home, I want to just quit my job and enjoy life instead of slaving away for "The Man".So I have decided that I am going to stop working overtime. Just like that. Done. No more.

This should be nice and quiet.As one of the ladies I usually talk to

Do those who are independently wealthy even realize what a boon it is to not HAVE to work? To not have to deal with the bureaucratic mentality and the complete idiocy that abounds in the workplace?Well, they should. And I'm here to tell you why.First of all, without naming specific names, I can tell you that I work for a large, multinational very famous company that is publicly traded on the

And I apologize. Vegasm, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry. Things have been hairy here lately.First off - War. It rained and rained and rained like a mother. Wrath of God type rain. No tornados, tho, thankfully. They came pretty close on two occassions. But we survived. The theme of packing up was "separate the merely damp from the truly soaking". The yurt kept everything dry

I spent the weekend getting ready! Finishing up last minute sewing and generally laying around being a human blob. But hey. It had to be done.I've gotten most of my stuff packed - believe it or not. Just have some wall hangings that I need to take down and pack up. Probably won't do that until the last minute, tho. No reason to.Work is hatin' on me. Still. And I'm hatin' right back. It's

As karmic payback for my rant on the "TB man" living in my building, I was struck with a double ear infection. That I didn't realize I had. Yeah. Hard to believe. I thought it was just a sinus infection so I tried to shake it on my own. No dice. So I broke down and went to the doctor who told me "well, the drainage is coming from your ears. Both of them have infected fluid build up - you

To TB man - you know who you are. You're the idiot who coughs up a lung every morning between 6 and 7am. Either get your sorry ass to the medical clinic or I'm calling the CDC and reporting your infected ass.And while we're at it, I'm calling animal control on your dog.

It was great. Last weekend was a long weekend for me. Monday was Memorial Day so we were off work. And I took last Friday off to get some things done. So I had a four day weekend last week and it was GREAT!Friday I went and got a haircut then drove home to take mom to see POTC III. The Big O was gorgeous (nearly heart-stoppingly so in one particular scene) but the movie was a convoluted mess

Finally found a color for the cabinets that I liked. Then broke down and bought a mitre saw. Yeah, well, this weekend I discovered I could actually make camp furniture with it. Hmmm. So many cool things to do an no time to do

So I decided to take some days off of work for various reasons. Let me tell you, it has felt wonderful.Those bitches are just going to have to suck it up and deal. I was off yesterday and slept in until 10am! Wooooo! Then I got up, organized all of my fabric (a labor of Hercules); sorted and organized all my buttons, sequins, sewing stuff, embroidery stuff, painting stuff - the whole nine

I have been feeling rather depressed lately. Or maybe it's just burnt out. I hate this fucking job. Really. And that lazy bitch manager of mine can't seem to get off her worthless ass and turn in my review so I can move to another job (she's been sitting on it for 6 months and thwarting my attempts to leave this department). She's probably waiting until she hears something negative about me

I am completely. Last week I worked late almost every day trying to get this stuff caught up so when our legal clearance comes thru, I just have to hit "send" and it's a go. I also had to get Steve's tunic ready for the weekend so he could wear it. (Finish sewing all the beads on it. Made my poor fingers raw.)I also had to get ready for my skating test on Sunday and get all my dress stuff

WTF? Is this, like, winter or something? Dayum! It's been in the 20's and snowing just about every day this week. I've had to pack on the under armor and even dig the electric blanket out! It's an outrage, I tell you! lol!Today I finally broke down and went to the doc for my cortisone shot. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

This saga of the maid, Steve, the husband and the girlfriend just keeps getting better and better.Apparently the maid (who is fucking Steve) is also fucking Steve's best friend. But wait, there's more! The best friend is soon to be engaged to someone ELSE! And he wants to keep the maid on as his back up piece of ass. But Steve wants it, too. (The maid's ass). What this girl has, I dunno.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and got what they wanted from St. Nick. Me? I'm still pining for a clean, consistent axel. This year I asked for a double. Why not? If you're going to ask, might as well ask BIG! I got a cold instead. Ugh. But it's just a head cold - no throwing up or anything. I just HATE that. Mostly I feel rather dizzy and somewhat tired.

I'm doing my part to make him happy and ensure his return. Winter sucks! Bring back the sun!This has been an oddly busy week at work.

I have this very noticeable gash on the bridge of my nose and people keep staring. I think I'm going to have to make up a story about it because the truth is rather dumb. (I scratched myself with my thumbnail taking off my sweater last week). Nobody seems to believe it. Maybe I'll say instead that I did it skating. And let them try to figure out how my blade reached the bridge of my nose.It

It's like 10 degrees outside! Cold as a witch's tit, it is! (no offense to any witches out there!) Tomorrow it's supposed to be warmer, but still. Today it is very cold. And the wind is making it even colder. Yesterday it snowed so everyone panicked and clogged up traffic.

They have all of these seminars and other bullshit trying to get people to "think outside the box" when all these seminars DO is program you to think within it.Why is Dilbert so popular among the cube crowd? Because it's true. Everyone can identify with the sheer stupidity of Dilbert's office. And what gets me is people carry this mentality over to their personal lives. Ick!

I thought I had broken it and probably would have if I didn't have my skates on.It was just one of those weird things - foot bending in strange way it was never supposed to.

I call in to work and say I'll come in this afternoon because my back just isn't real happy with life right now.
