Miss me?
I miss you fucking blog. I miss you so much. While going about life in a ‘not-so-much-online’ kind of way, I’ve come to a couple conclusions. I think they’re a perfect “conclusion” to this blog as well. :) My last post was a little bitchy. It’s hard to be as fair as I want to be when I’m as passionate as I am. I try so hard to things from other...

Oh, Blog!
I’ve given up on the idea of cold-turkey-never-again-ity and have accepted the fact that I will probably succumb to the will of the blog in me from time to time. I’m sure there will be someday that I lose the desire to blog, but until then… A few things that come to mind: For one thing: I don’t know if I dress my man like a gay fellow, or just like a very preppy (and...

dear blog, I miss you. If I were still writing in you I would probably write about such things as how selfish it is to have babies or how clint and I have decided to adopt…someday…if I decide I ever do want children. I probably never will. Or I would write about how some people mistake my excitement over moving or the future in general as discontent with the present. I would write...

Ok, 1 more...
I finally got my blog list down to 20, so I thought I’d share one last time. ;) I may change these from time to time, but they all sound good for right now—especially out of my list of hundreds.

Oh...
I forgot to mention what else I’m doing! This is the last one—I swear! I’m limiting my daily blogs to 20, which may sound like a lot to you but it was severely hard to do. I’m only checking emails, playing an occassional Pogo game (or MMO!), shopping—though not as much, and looking things up. Basically what ‘normal’, non-addicted people do. I’m just...

Sigh
I have bad news e-friends. My new therapist, whom I love by the way (!), said that keeping a blog is not conducive to the type of person I am or want to be. I told her that it helps me figure things out because I gain insight when I take the time to put my thoughts together in complete sentences. She assured me that keeping a private journal would be just as helpful for that. I told her that I use...

The new iMacs came out today and I tried to convince Clint that I needed one. “They can play games now as well as my PC and they come up to 24” so I wouldn’t lose monitor size.” I read him the specs to let him tell me if mine is better or worse. I totally win! iMac to Mandy’s PC (up to) 3.06 GHz Core 2 - 3.2 GHz Core 2 6MB shared L2 cache - 8MB shared L2...

"Game" shows you how horrible you are...
This “game” tells you how many Earths we would need to sustain us if everyone lived like you do. What I found most shocking was that we are less eco-friendly than people who make over $200,000 in these areas: electricity, food, and shopping. I don’t believe the shopping thing at all because yeah, I don’t save and reuse as much as I could but if I were making $200,000 a...
If I weren't so jaded, this would be sweet.
Me: Why do you always stare at me when you go up the stairs?
Clint, taken aback: I...I... Just want to get one last look at you.
Me: [indescribable sounds--like a cross between moaning and sighing]
Clint: What? It's not my fault you're so cute.

Frappy Hour 4.27.08
It’s a good thing my keyboard has a mouse on it because I haven’t been charging my mouse right for some reason. Today’s Frappy Hour was kinda boring, but I saw some interesting and pretty things. Also, I should’ve gone through the car wash first but I forgot! There are spots on the windows in some of the pictures. I was talking to Clint about getting a little camera for...

Happy birthday, baby.
Today is Opal’s birthday. She’s three-years-old. I don’t know how people with children can say that the time flies by because I can’t believe Opal & Cupid are ONLY as young as they are. I feel like I’ve lived with them my entire life. I suppose it’s because I spend so much time with them. When I first brought Opal home, I didn’t like her. She was...

Frappy Hour 4.26.08
I’ve decided to post my Frappy Hour findings from now on. I’ve been posting the most interesting ones, but sometimes I want to share the uninteresting ones, too!! For those who don’t know, Frappy Hour is the hour or so (longer lately) On Saturdays and Sundays that Clint & I drive around town while I’m slurping down my Frappuccino from Starbucks. It became a tradition...
I should've known it would happen...
I’m addicted to twitter. :(

Poor Clint
I was just reading through my old posts to tag them to add the “more” button you now see on long posts, and I was like: WOW. Clint really gets his ass kicked on my blog! I always take for granted that people on my blog know me in real life, but sadly, it has come to the point where more of you don’t than do. I need more local friends!! Anyway, I don’t think my personality...

Feeeeeed the biiiirds...tuppence a bag. Tuppence!...
Supposedly bird poop + concrete patio = bugs. So I won’t be getting that lovely yellow birdhouse. When we move, we won’t even have a patio so no birds then, either. Oh well. It was 60% for the cats’ enjoyment anyway. tup·pence play_w("T0415000") (tpns)n. Chiefly British Variant of twopence.

I forgot Science Diet. I got it once when I ran out of cat food (I know; shame on me!). Petco was closed and I figured getting it from the Vet’s office would be better than getting it from the grocery store. I looked at the ingredients and I don’t think it would have been, but anyway… Science Diet - ICK, thankfully

Cats Annoy Me
The cats have two flavors left to try of this food and my general outlook is not good. Oh well. There’s more to try! So far the cats have these opinions: Wellness - ICK Newman’s Own Organic - ICK Tiki Cat - ICK Merrick Gourmet - YUM to some flavors; got bored of this brand Natural Balance - YUM to two flavors; currently eating Innova Evo - Canned: ICK; Dry: currently eating...

Bird Brains
Is it weird to think that edible bird houses are cruel? Come, birds, build your home in this charming, quiet abode. Perfect for nesting! Abundant food supply! Water nearby! … It seems to be getting smaller? No, your family is just growing and thriving! I see you’ve made new windows! Good choice; it really opens the place up! … … MUAHAHA! Take that, you dumb gluttonous...

Bits & Pieces
I said before that if I win the lottery, one of the homes I purchase will be a house with land to have two cows, two pigs, and two horses. I thought of something else this past weekend: two sheep! I need two sheep! Maybe two goats, too. And two donkeys. But if I get into that then I have to get all kinds of four-legged horse-like animals. Oh well, the more the more. The girl that I offended with...

So how was YOUR day?
Everyone I know who comes here has been warned on numerous occassions that something I type may offend you, and for which I am pre-sorry. In no way do I ever intend to offend anyone, or use my personal blog for passive-aggressive digs at people I know read it (especially if I don’t have prior knowledge of him or her reading it, genius). I know that it’s hard to believe that when...

Depending on Love
The only way anyone’s ever going to be truly independent is if they move to unclaimed land, build a house with foraged timber, and hunt their own dinner. Otherwise, you’re very dependent upon a number of people, many of whom you don’t even know. Every time we drive somewhere we are depending on other drivers to not be an idiot and kill us. We are depending on the people who built...

Whew
I was talking to someone today about things people worry about, and it came up that she worries about what would happen if her husband left her or died. I feel lucky that I never have to worry about that. Clint would never in a million years leave me for any reason, because, well you all know how in-love with me he is. I trust in that more than I trust in anything. That’s a good feeling!! I...
Twitter
I have wanted to Twitter for a while, but I don’t have many friends that are web-savvy and interested in such things. Then I found an app for my iPhone that makes it SO EASY AND CUTE that I just couldn’t resist. So now you can get random updates on my boring life and what I am so easily amused by, by clicking here. If you Twitter too, ADD ME!!!! I can add pictures, too, but I just...

I was just going through my “drafts” folder in gmail. I made a list of restaurants and what I think of them because we were going to a new restaurant every Saturday evening and then going to a favorite Sunday evening. There’s this pizza place that has WONDERFUL cheese pizza—five-cheese to be exact. It’s delicious. Too delicious. So this is what I saw when I got to...

Cupid's Well!
Last night, I called that service that I used before to post talky-blogs, but for some reason it didn’t work! AND I TALKED FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES! I said some really profound things, too! Now I don’t feel like typing them. Here’s an update on Cupid, though. If you emailed me, you got this exact message (sorry, I was too lazy to type more than once). Here: It went really well!...

Cupid's Pearlies
The Vet. Again. I thought it would help to space their appointments a couple of weeks apart. All it did was make me stress and worry about it for two weeks. It’s finally here, tomorrow at 4:30. It has been in the back of my mind, making me snappy and frazzled much more than I expected. I’m hoping that Cupid won’t need to get a dental, and that instead, I will be able to just...
My Clipmarks →
I started using this site to save clips of sites I find interesting. It’s public, so you can go there and see what I find clip-worthy if you’re bored. I’ve been a member for 3 years and this is the first time I’ve actually used it. It seems to be getting really popular!

The Cloud I Was In
Ok, first of all here is what the sky generally looked like on Saturday: This is the right side of the cloud that was over my house. The cloud is on the left side of the picture: Here’s a view to the left: And more left: And a view of the left-most side of the cloud, barely: I didn’t get any pictures of it closer to the house because I was too busy saying, “Oh my God!”...

Gimli
An aquaintance’s cat died from anesthesia/heart disease-related complications. Exactly one week and one day after Opal went in for the same routine procedure. I found out about it today, exactly four or five days before Cupid goes in for the same. I can’t help but feel partially to blame. I mean, I make it known how I feel about regular dentals and how important clean, healthy teeth...

Rain, rain go away! Come back another day, little...
ARRGH! It has been raining all day, taunting me. “Look! I am so fresh and wet.” “Look! I am pouring down so hard and for so long!” Why does it have to be so COLD out?! I’m craving my outdoor showers again. Soon, rain. Soon. Stupid shower in my stupid bathroom under my stupid ceiling and in-between my stupid walls. *grumble*
