My Chaotic Realm

LOL... yes, it is nice to know you!! the line I got was "just like a waking limb, pins & needles, nice to know you...goodbye!"

my father sent this to me...rather chilling, when you think about it On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 7:14 AM, wrote: This is all from a single statement by J. P. Morgan (1837-1913), American financier. I have separated the sentences to allow the full degree of imperious bull-shit better to seep out. An excerpt (underlined) from this was in yesterday's San Antonio Express-News. It pinged my governmental crap detector, & my fading memory meant I had to go look the rest of it up. .. read it and weep...or cringe.. or resist... or speak out/up... be heard... "Capital must protect itself in every way... Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible . When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law applied by the central power of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our princip...

I went to M's for the New Year's Day sale... came away w/lots of stuff from the $1 bargain bins... turned it into these (made 9 cards total). I figure supplies ran about $5 (even tho I did not use all 50 sheets of paper, all 2 rolls of ribbons, all felt coasters, etc) ... and I had fun doing this while tending to ill son... all in all, a great evening spent at home.

Went to the Alamo Drafthouse last night to see the movie Australia... REALLY liked it. Don't know why reviews were so bad... but then again, what do "they" know? Hugh Jackman was just as awesome as always. And it was good to see Bryan Brown again.. I loved him ever since the Thorn Birds with Rachel Ward.

well, Tara has relieved our concerns about using the bathroom... sigh Kept taking her for walks yesterday & last night but no potty action. Tara apparently was finally relaxed enough to potty... peed twice & loose stool in 2 different places in library so I have spent last hour cleaning carpet in there, then closed off all rooms On the good side, however, she speaks CAT and gives them wide berth ... even Abigale can't seem to find too much to fuss about :-). She is adapting well to being inside, climbing porch steps, laying on HER bed (not on couch) and she is eating, drinking, well-behaved around yesterday's art folk. Our only OUTDOOR issue is that she has found a low spot in fence to exit yard. Bud is apparently too large to use that spot... Tara is not... bigger sigh...So now I head off to repair fenceline, right after I feed the other 15 beings that live here...

tonight we travel to Bandera Texas, Cowboy Capital of the World (I kid you not) to go adopt a lovely friend for our grandpuppy!! We are so excited. She was 'tutored' this week and will be ready to come to her new home tomorrow. Tara was found as a stray. She appears about 2 years old and weighs in at a healthy 60 lbs. She is very sweet girl and loves to wag her butt for attention like boxers do. She is a Boxer-pit mix, which should go well with our mastiff-pit mix. Sad Part now... CCPAL has lost their grant and will be closing the end of this year, allowing a "Kill Shelter" (how do those two words even GO together?!?) to take over the space. At last count there were still 46 cats & a dozen or so dogs needing homes... Please help if you can! Adopt, Foster, donate to your local shelter...something!! Otherwise, these & many more around the state will face the needle....

Lovely table, terrific food (that I Could EAT!!) and even better conversation with friends.. now THAT is a day to be thankful for. Wont even go into the food, I'll drool on the keyboard. But getting to sit in conversation with people that I care so much about it priceless. No event planning, no meeting to go over anything, no deadlines... just good friends getting to sit around and listen, discuss, laugh. Oh, and listen to Arlo Guthrie's Thanksgiving Day Massacre. yes...priceless!
