Poison Ivy

I feel a little daft right now.

I know when I see poison oak but I don’t right off recognize poison ivy and I’ve never heard of poison sumac until of course I had to know. (sigh) It seems that two days ago when I went outside and cleared stuff off my fence line I cleared 2 out of three of these plants. Figures huh? Two of the youngest kids next door have it as well. We share a fence. Not good.

The list

I think mostly I’m irritated with the world for hormonal reasons. Give me a couple of days and I’ll no longer want to hang total strangers on a meat hook or run them over with my car for cutting me off in traffic. I so gotta get this under control.

Aww, it’ll be okay little one

This little one I call Blossom was here maybe 3 days ago but was returned because she fell behind again.  Her 5 litter mates are twice her size, stronger, faster and  squeeze her out so she’s back being bottle fed.


I call the kitten Blossom because she has made huge strides to overcome her odds. She’s got a great determination to thrive so we’re going to do the best we can to support this spirit of hers. Continue reading ‘Aww, it’ll be okay little one’

This was a conversation I had with a guy named Ick. He’s called Ick because its a play on his name.

Ick: I could be your sugar daddy.
Me: Nah, you’re more like saccharin and that last thing I need is a saccharin daddy.

40 Shades of Red

The Elephants Went Crazy

This is a line from last night’s dream said by the driver of a public bus to me. He said,

“You’re the reason the elephants went crazy in India.”

Note to self: I know that Sunday is movie night but please remember if you have cookies and popcorn before you sleep you will have strange dreams.

The crazy elephants were actually Aztec drawings of elephants stomping drawings of people in India. Now, I usually feel compelled to draw any and all art which pops up in my dreams but I’m not too much feeling this one. I don’t wish to draw people being trampled by elephants. And why Indians? They never did anything to me.

Serial killers. Jello. Coffee.

The Criminal Mind’s marathon on Ion Television was sponsored by the newly released DVD of Bambi. I thought I was hearing things but the commercial for the DVD came on several times and proudly announced itself as sponsor of a marathon about serial killers. After showing Thumper they went right back to the guy who surgically removed people’s eyes after cutting their throats.
