race

This morning my bus driver decided it was time to race.

He wasn't talking to me

Don't you hate it when you think somebody is talking to you but they're actually talking to somebody else on their little bluetooth earpiece thingy?

but baby it's cold outside

Coming from Southern California.. I dont think its fair that the sun can be out and it can still be THIS cold.

It's all a blurrr

Michelle and i went wine tasting this weekend in the cutest little town called Murphy.

I think i liked them all.

a farm scene for melissa

"Weird, none of the cows got golden tickets today..."

i'm ready!

Roscoe and I know where we're putting everything.

i'm in my dark place

I can't take it! I just can't take it! My beloved New York Giants lost last night to the Jacksonville Jaguars. A Giant? Losing to a Jaguar?! Don't Giants eat Jaguars for thanksgiving? Couldn't the Giant just step on the Jaguar and squish it?

I'm in hiding now. I need to be alone.

Dude, Tofurkey is weird

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tim and Matt for having Michelle and I over to their lovely home for a pre-thanksgiving feast. I learned many fascinating things while dining with them and their friends. One of which, is that a Tofurkey has organs. It has a little soybean heart, a soybean liver and some soybean kidneys. Who knew?

do you have a lint brush?

Michelle does the laundry and i'm supposed to put my clean clothes away. But i never do. By the end of the week i have a clothes mountain on the floor. The cats seem to like the clothes mountain and sleep on it during the day. Today i'm wearing a nice furry shirt from the top of the pile.

me vs. carbs

This is a tuff fight.

what the ?

Last night Michelle brought a hot water bottle to bed with her so the kitties would be nice and warm.

They didnt like it as much as she had hoped.

whoops, i got fat

oh dear. I just noticed that i got fat. So, its back to the gym and no bread. I'm going to miss you Mr. Sourdough.

inhibitions

Have you noticed that the older you get the less inhibited you are to pick your nose in public?

one if by land, two if by sea

My mom, my sister and my niece are coming to visit this weekend. My mom rented a big van so we can all ride around together.

i got this email

I got this email yesterday and it cracked me up. Thought you might find it funny as well.

Hi all,

As you know, Joanna is coming back to the office tomorrow. If you have borrowed anything from her desk, please be sure to return it by end of day. You'll know whatever you borrowed is hers because there will be a giant label on it that reads, "Property of Joanna - DO NOT REMOVE". :) This especially pertains to her P-Touch label maker that is still missing.

Thanks

change is good

Don't be afraid Mr. Republican! Change is good.

Can I have a D!?

Hooray! It's Voting Day! Go Democrats!

a big clamp

There are two things going on here... first of all, yes.. thats a new hairdooooo.. (lovely, isnt it? Michelle helped me style it today) and second.. THERE'S A HUGE CLAMP ON MY HEAD! I've had three migraines in the last week. Perhaps this is the apocalypse????

ralph steadman

Last night, Michelle and i went to hear a reading by her hero ralph steadman. He has a new book out called the Joke's Over. For anyone who has never seen his work i encourage you to go to the ralph steadman website and enjoy his illustrations. I was completely inspired. So much so, in fact, that i am shown here as one of his ink splats.

sshhhh... the kitties are sleeping

My cat Roscoe usually wakes up with a great amount of energy and races michelle to his food bowl.. looking up at her.. hoping he'll get some great yummy treat.. but he usually just gets his usual fat cat diet food that he gets every morning. THIS morning.. he just layed there.. sleeping soundly... in a furry little ball. Perhaps he'd had a late night? Maybe he tuckered himself out playing with that spool of thread he's been batting around? Or, maybe he just didnt feel like getting up.

It must be nice to be a cat

auntie

Every year my aunt stephanie and her work buddies get all dressed up for halloween and decorate their cubes. This year she told me that they were lazy and she went to work dressed as a mom giving out candy. That made me laff... i told her that story would HAVE to make my blog! So.. here is my aunt stephanie.. in her costume
