the shock and horror of it all…

Posted on June 29, 2010 by geekgirl415

There needs to be some sort of warning device installed on a person, so that when that person becomes more than 10 feet away from their beloved iPhone, a buzzer sounds.  I need that. I’d willfully subject myself to the gun injection of a microchip that will sound a faint beep in my ear.  Or a blaring klaxon.  Anything to prevent the shock and horror of  

June 29th, the day I forgot my iPhone at home.

I emailed my sister to ask her to check my dining room table to confirm I did leave it there when I dashed off to work.  Just in case it was <gasp!> lost.   She sent me a pic of it laying on my table. 

And then one of it pumping iron.

(the poor pic quality is because she uses a sub-standard Blackberry).

Now that my beloved is done exercising, it’s now sunning itself with tropical fruit and a refreshing Coconut Water beverage.

I have 6 more hours to go before I’m off and live too far to dash home and stop this nonsense.

under the influence of a Maenad

Posted on June 1, 2010 by geekgirl415

Oh no… those black eyes are the telltale sign that Mitzi is under the influence of Maenad Maryann. 

I shudder to think what kind of parties Mitzi’s throwing at home while we’re at work.

True Blood Season 3 June 13!!!

Eating Crow – gladly actually

Posted on May 30, 2010 by geekgirl415

You’re not going to believe this.  I still don’t, but for all you Positive Pollys out there who wished for a happy outcome, you rock! Thank YOU! Trooper is home!  Alive even! 

We now think that Trooper went out that morning, three long weeks ago and something either interested him and he followed pursuit- or he got scared by something and took off.  Then got lost.  He’s down a few pounds from his 7lb body, he’s dirty and hungry but MAN,  WAS HE PURRING!  He doesn’t do that normally either.   I got the call this afternoon from a woman who lives around the corner saying they found him 2 days ago in their yard.  She takes care of cats and recognized the signs of the cancer and his advanced age and realized maybe his owner would be looking for him.  She brought him to the shelter and saw my flier and called me.  We are soo happy he’s home! 

It’s crazy emotions today because we had just reconciled the fact that he “died like a cat” and here suddenly is the grieving renewed,  mixed in joy, mixed in with guilt (how could I given up hope?), mixed in with sadness at his three weeks of homelessness and then right back ’round to JOY he is home, purring with us.   We also know we’ll have to put him down soon, but we’re so grateful to have a few more days with him.  Thank you for not giving up hope when I did – you all have made an impression on me that I won’t soon forget.
