Stuid-ass cat

Zeus is trying to kill me. He woke me at 5:45a for no reason other than he wanted to talk. Zeus is part siamese. He talks incessantly, and wants me to respond in kind. He doesn't seem to care what I say, it can be human or cat speak. Cat speak for me is mimicking his funky little mao mao mao that sounds nothing like a meow. Of course, if he gets no response from me, I then get a cold cat nose in my ear and a long, drawn out, maaaaaaaoooooooooooo, in case the previous 20 times weren't heard. So, I get up and go to the living room, and once he's satisfied that I am sitting, alert and attentive, he proceeds to chase, pounce, and basically torment our sweet baby Lulu kitty. Lu is older than Zeus, and was here a few years before Zeus, but as his name implies, he is...Zeus. He rules this realm, and all those who insist on living in it.

If he wakes me up like that again on the weekend, he's going to be dinner.

No use cryin'

So, I have Type 2 Diabetes. My mom has
it, but has it under control with diet. I just found out today, and
have nothing under control. I have an appointment 1 week from today
with the Dietitian, and hopefully I won’t end up miserable and
immensely pouty when she gives me my new way of eating. I love ice
cream, do they even make sugar free ice cream?

I’m so pissed, why did I bother to lose weight and exercise if I
ended up with what it was I was trying to avoid anyway? I feel like I
did it for nothing. I know that’s not logical, but I’m not feeling
logical right now, I’m just really pissed off. I’ll get over it.

Movin' on up

Or something like that. We're leaving the state we're in, to go to a new one. I won't "say" where, but I'll give hints. We're going to go see the Mariners play ball sometime this summer, the kids haven't been to a professional game before, and I think they'll have a blast. So.. now you know. We're going because my husband got a new job, and we're all really excited. I'll also finally live around some family for the first time. Not lots of family, just enough to have something to do on holidays. For now, we've got United Van Lines set to come on the 7th to pack us and 8th to load up. Then the kids and I get to spend the 8th and 9th night in sleeping bags on the floor until the 10th when we move from here. Since my husband is already there, we've already got a place and we're just waiting to fill it with our junk.

Good to be home

I love going on vacation, but even more, I love coming home after a vacation. My bed feels even better than it did before I left; the streets seem friendlier, as well as the drivers. My home may not be the best home, but it's mine, and it feels good to be here.

You Are a Phoenix

Driven and ambitious, you tend to acquire material success easily. You have grand schemes - both for your own life and for changing the whole world. You are a great leader, and you have no problem taking the reigns. However, you aren't all business. You also have great talents for performing and visual arts. What Mythological Creature Are You?

I really wish he'd run for President again.

Talking about Green Comet

 I get this e-mailed to me, and I thought I'd share the info.

Space Weather News for March 20, 2007

GREEN COMET: There's a new comet in the southern hemisphere: Comet Lovejoy (C/2007 E2). Terry Lovejoy of Australia discovered it on March 15th using, remarkably, not a telescope but only an off-the-shelf digital camera. The green comet is too dim to see with the naked eye, but it is a nice target for backyard telescopes. After five days of monitoring, the comet's orbit is now known with some accuracy and it is possible to make predictions about Comet Lovejoy's future movements and brightness.

BONUS--VENUS AND THE MOON: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look west. You'll see Venus and the slender crescent Moon beaming together through the glow of sunset. If you miss the pair on March 20th, try again on the 21st. They will be beautifully close together on both nights.
