i stayed home today with a massive headache and allergy issues. i know, i know, can’t you whine about something else? well, no! my life is consumed with medication and sneezing and i have nothing else to talk about.
here are some fun things i learned today while being miserable:
four straight hours of Roseanne. gawd, how i miss that show.
the neighbors have the lawn professionally cut. for four hours straight. don’t they know i’m in the middle of a Roseanne marathon?!
cooper’s tolerance of the mailman is at an all time low. initiate bark sequence.
the car loan people are resolute on calling me five times a day. i’ll pay the damn note when i get off my ass, thank you very much.
okay, that’s all i’ve got. i spent most of the morning sleeping off a benadryl induced coma. sadly i woke up with a headache even worse than the previous one.
sunday was spent cleaning my house and crying. not because i was sad, but because i was frustrated with my current living situation with three dogs and three cats and their ability to shed more hair than they actually have. oh, and don’t forget the cats’ recent hatred of the litter box and their fascination with pissing in the dog toy box. we cleaned our house top to bottom. side to side. horizontally and laterally.
this has got to be my hands down favorite thing i’ve bought since moving into our house. it was purchased at southeastern salvage in irondale for the low low price of $98. stop reading and go over there. now!
my favorite room in the house. it is bright and cheery and full of stuff that jack insists on knocking over. click on the image for identification of various things that i love.
because i am a wannabe photographer i proudly display all of the cameras that i own. from left to right - my dad’s old minolta, my first SLR (a minolta also), my fujifilm digital, my lomo quad actionshot, and my lomo colorsplash
i used to collect all sorts of little toys. this one survived the five moves i’ve made in the last five years. my uncle gave him to me when he sold v-dubs in albuquerque.
meet steve. steve is from montego bay, jamaica. we brought him back from our honeymoon in hopes to smuggle heroin in his head. okay, not really. but i do like to think that he wards off evil from our house. or atleast the carpetbaggers.
james brown rubber duck. the coolest fucking thing ever! don’t deny it.
one of the reasons why i cried on sunday. don’t let the cute face and squishiness fool you. he’s 15 pounds of attitude.
another of my favorite house items. darcia la rosa bought this for us when we moved into our condo, but it goes perfectly with our new house.
with all the new dog loving and cat hating that goes on in our house, mollycate is often left out of photos. however, she is the best dog on the planet.
and let’s not forget my sweet cooper. she looks a bit harried (no pun intended) because she was up late the other night finishing off a bottle of jack.
they would probably tell you that i torture them by taking their photos and posting it to the innernets.
since lira’s tragic accident with the deck on monday it feels like she has taken ten steps back from the work we have been doing with her. until today. i came home from a greyhound meeting at the track and was absolutely exhausted. my allergies were kicking my ass so i took two benadryl and lied down. i asked kev to put lira on the bed with me (she still hasn’t learned to jump up on her own) and she nestled into his side of the bed.
yes, yes, i am adorable. now will you please stop taking pictures of me?!
lira and i took a nice two hour nap together which is completely unheard of in our house. she’s a loner, Dottie. A rebel. when i woke up it was time for dogs to go outside. once back in the house lira went back to sleep on her pillow and i fell back asleep as well. when i woke up the second time, i caught lira in what we greyhound owners call a classic “roach” position.
i have the cutest pink belly!
what?! you know you love me!
more photos tomorrow when i have actually cleaned the house.
so, yeah, i’ve got nothing today. i’m tired and overworked. the only thing that is keeping me awake at this point is a 64 ounce sweet tea from mcdonald’s and two excedrin. but it’s friday and that makes me happy. i’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend of absolutely nothing.
here is an awesome video from the band okkervil river, that my friend zach and his brother jesse turned me on to. the lyrics are a tad (read: very) dark, but the singer’s voice makes me rock out hard!
this past weekend i discovered the awesomeness that is HD television. if you had asked me what i thought about HD a week ago i probably would have spouted off some nonsense about how the electronics industry is just trying to drain every single penny out of society and why can’t they just be happy that i’ve bought five mystery science theatre 3000 box sets in the last month. if you asked me today what i thought about HD i would probably tell you that you can see the fur on a camel’s mouth sway in the breeze, and you can tell just how much pancake makeup that news anchor is wearing, oh and don’t forget that watching discovery channel’s planet earth makes you want to run out and adopt a flock of penguins. we sat in my aunt and uncle’s living room saturday morning watching the stunning lack of pixelation on their 42″ HD television. i didn’t want to get off the couch for i was afraid i might miss one beautiful linear resolution moment. like i need another reason to be a lazy asshat.
me: “someone has stolen my purse!”
bouncer: “do you have your ID?”
me: “no, it was in my purse”
bouncer: “so where is your ID?”
me: “could you be anymore worthless?”
