FSBO a No-No
I just came across a blog dedicated to awful real estate pictures via Shelterrific. Funny thing is, the bear and I were just discussing this when he was doing his weekly survey of properties in our hood. Images such as the ones above.
Here's the site: It's lovely. I'll take it.

Have you had your BM today?
I never envisioned my future self keeping tabs on the bowels of my 4 legged children, but that seems to be the case nowadays. Fergie seems to have been a little off lately with his new treatments and was refusing food as well as making strange gutteral noises add random moments. The cure for this seems to be what Mike informed me was in our bath tub this morning. "A nice nugget," I was told was waiting for me and was not disposed of due to the abnormal size of the object. Cy had a brown baby boy this morning, one that I would identify as a log jam. He's much happier now as he runs around me begging for food. I suppose the same way my grandmother was once she regulated herself with a metamucil cocktail.

Once again, I've been left speechless
I'll now be spending the next 30 minutes looking through the rest of the Jackson Variety show clips. Tito will be worth every second.

On Craigslist as well. No takers, which is fine by me because I really like it.

Found in a thrifted bag of fabric. I recently tried to sell it on Craigslist, but no one ever wants to buy my shite.
Woo hoo!
Fair quilt
I started this one over a year ago and had planned to put it in the state fair until I found out that they only took submissions from children in the quilting category. I quilted the hell out of each square which caused me to tire of it quite quickly and shove underneath a bunch of stuff for a few months.
Now that it's complete, I can't remember if I prewashed the reds or not and am now terrified to wash it. If it comes out of the wash with its original color, I plan on hanging it in our bedroom over the headboard.

Don't put me out
After being kicked out of the bedroom, Mr. Kelly ALLEGEDLY proceeded to film his latest video in the bathroom using our dirty clothing as an allegory about "keeping the man down." He somehow got in touch with Triumph the Insult Dog and they seemed to be working on duet material from Triumph's new album, Come Poop With Me. Yeah, that's right. He ALLEGEDLY left a nugget in the kitchen. He and Mr. Triumph must have gotten into our Courvoisier too. Such a celebration is generally not that big of a deal, unless you can't hold your liquor and hurl 2 times in my craft room, ALLEGEDLY of course.
I do not appreciate Mr. Kelly's ALLEGED ability to turn my house into an open sewer in such a short amount of time. My only hope has been to send him on his way for a new project which includes shooting scenes at the "Vet" location and testing out some new material called "Glucose Curves." The bear escorted to our special celebrity to the vet this morning, unfortunately the police would not comply to an escort even at the demand and insistence of Mr. Kelly.
It could be worse I suppose. We could have had to sit through the entirety of the hip-hopera, "The Closet."

Because I'm up at 8am on a Sunday morning

Cy "Wilford Brimley" Murphy Baca Orr
We got Cy's test results back yesterday and he was diagnosed with diabetes. I took him to the vet in the afternoon so they could show me how to inject him with insulin. The tech who was helping me probably thought I was a total ass when I rolled my eyes at the idea of having to get up at 6:30am to inject him. I can only agree with her. I am a total ass when it comes to sleeping until the last possible moment and wonder if I'll truly be able to get up on the weekends. I did get up at the right time today and proceeded to load up a syringe while humming "Final Hit" as I chased down the cat before his breakfast. I managed to prick my finger and am not sure whether or not he got a full dose, but what else would you expect with me?

Speaking your mind
Henry Miller bathroom monologues
I can't remember if I posted this or not and I also can't remember where I found it. You can find the rest of the series on YouTube.
