The January Cherry Tarts flyers are out. Aren't we cute in our cow suits?

Shenzi went to the vet today- she's got a puncture wound on her eye, but it should heal fine. And here I was starting to look forward to her wearing a little eyepatch. ARRR!!!

Snow, snow, snow. then ice and freezing rain. All in all, the cabin fever started setting in yesterday, so in spite of the inclement weather all five Cherry Tarts braved the roads for our photo shoot in the closed-for-weather Devil's Point. I can't wait to see the pics- I'll post them as soon as I get 'em. We did one poker-playing set, and then the...

Oh man cabin fever set in so bad today. I know what you mean about everything being clean, organized and alphabetized!!! LOL!

Poor Pooch... that is sad.

I gotta get the freak out of here.... just gotta be outside even if it is snowy/freezing/cold. I do enjoy the weather but not so much the way everything kind of shuts down.

It's SO FRICKIN COLD OUTSIDE!!!!
It's in the teens. My little Southern ass is NOT happy. Plus, work is dead and the news says it's oing to snow like mad tonight. Sigh.

There's frickin snow all over everything!!! I can't dig my car out to go to work, and I couldn't go even if I did because the city is only letting people with chains or special tires out on the roads. All of which super-sucks because I was scheduled for a double today and I could really have used the money. Stupid snow day.

I met a friend of yours the other night. She was working at one of the Strip Clubs down in Myrtle Beach, SC. I don't remember much (too much alcohol) but I mentioned that she would make a great SG and she was telling me that she knew you when you lived down in charleston. and she told me to look you up, so um..here I did. I would tell you her name or her stage name but I forgot that and I can't remember her gf's either...so really I have no point to this but um...yea *waves*

yesterday I drove up to Mt. Hood for a little sledding action, since the year had yet to bring any snow to Portland proper. Sledding was good fun, although the dog lost two of his boots in the snow and had very cold little feet. So of course I woke up this morning to find that the snow had followed me back. Oh well. It's...

More or less recovered from nasty flu-thingy.

Went tonight and saw BIg Fish, braving Saturday Night theatre crowds and fuckin' cold rain to see if Tim Burtn could redeem himself from Planet of the Apes. It was a really beautiful movie visually, and the storyline was simple and well-crafted. But it just felt like it was missing something. I mean, there were circus freaks and...

Christmas eve. It's almost over.
Fever still running around 100.6. I can't keep the dogs off of me- they think I'm their own private heating unit. That's OK, I like the snuggles. Except when they dont smell so good.
It's apparently not the fish poop, as I managed to give it to tankboi. There is a certain charm in having something infectious. (Which almost...

Hey there. Hope you had a nice X-Mas and that you're not hot anymore (in the feverish sense). By the way, even though it wasn't the fish poop, I think Fish Poop Fever is an awesome name for a disease.

Congrats on the car! My new car (the '78 Cadillac) should be done with it's fixin'-up by the time I get back--we'll have to drag, or perhaps form the nucleus of a mighty convoy.

Current temperature: 100.5
That's the lowest it's been in two days. And I ate a biscuit, which is the closest thing to solid food I've been able to choke down. Every year at Christmas, I get really sick. I think it's psychosomatic, because it really does happen every damn year. I must just hate Christmas so much that it quite literally makes me sick. But...

YIPEE! I got the car! biggrin
Thanks everybody for cautions and good advice on it, but it turns out to be fo' real. Still have 4 years and nine months of the five year bumper-to-bumper left, so no worries. I've never had a (nearly) new car before, so I'm incredibly impressed with all the stuff that comes with it. Super roadside assistance, dent protection (they pop...

Eeeek! I think I found a car...I have an appointment to go see it at noon tommorrow. it's a 2003 Bug, black, with just over 1,000 miles on it. Apparrently someone bought it and then realized there's no room in the back and brought it back for an SUV. It's $4000 below blue book value. biggrin I feel like the car gods are with me...

good luck! VW's are wonderful. My husband and I just bought one about 6 or so months ago (Jetta Turbo) and absolutely love it. The car gods are with you if it's 4k under.

I have discovered the secret to Christmas happiness. It's revenge. And here's how it works. Still shopping for something for your mother? Go to a store which does not exist withing two hundred miles of wherever she lives, and buy her clothes. Cute, comfortable, matching outfits which you know will look great on her. And which you also know she will never, never wear. Hell,...

Did the Dante's thing last night- got to hang out with a bunch of the girls. It was the first time I had seen Brandy perform. She was sporting a big ol' mohawk and wrapped in electrical tape! And Violet makes a lovely Mrs. Claus.

Also I found out that two of my friends are applying for SG, so good luck to them and I'll...

Not really a bio-nerd. Well, maybe a dilletante bio-nerd. A wannabe bio-nerd. Long story, but I was going to be one of those great renaissance professors that could talk about anything and could motivate and inspire students in any subject. Two BAs and an MA in Geography and I work for a bank. It's a tragi-comedy in three acts.
I'm curious about everything but I love plants. And butterflies. And birds. A books about all of these. Well, books in general. I'm a geek. But a rugged, outdoorsy, hipster geek. Think Indiana Jones, Keith Richards, and Professor Frink. But not.....
