SMRT

In a country that is so "sue" happy this is obviously a trainwreck waiting to happen whether or not the lesson is a good one or not... Also apparently there are not enough of my people retiring down there to make it known what our symbol looks like.

I'm not a dr, I just play one on tv.

I'm a bit sick and twisted... I'm not sure my call in life, or I just don't have it in me to get the education for my call in life whatever that may be. Yet, last night I, the unpierced freak gave an injection to Coconut. I enjoyed it.. I know, fucked up isn't it? When I worked at the vet I was always the receptionist. The receptionist who was as smart as the drs but had chosen a "creative" education in the arts where I also didn't fit in so well. I couldn't do anything tech like but boy did I want to. Last night I finally got to and got through a fear of mine, needles. Iguana skin isn't quite like human or canine so perhaps it wasn't the same but I enjoyed it non the less. The only really tech thing I ever did at the vet was help a dog give birth on a night shift. I'm not one for breeding dogs but it was still cool holding the newly born yorkie pup.
I like to heal things, make things grow. Rescue work and gardening is the way to go for me when i have the time. When you really love animals being in a vet type position isn't just the love part. There are so many idiots you run into, so many euthanasias etc. No thanks, not the track for me.

interesting

So when I started blogging I did it to not email people when I was upset. To not get on my parents case, now i barely talk to them. Things tended to work themselves out with other people when I had issues unless I rocked the boat while I was irrational. Then the blog was to meet people, then I didn't want to post when I was upset cause it would make me look nuts and who wants a pecan for a friend. These days I'm just in a state of chill. Its very interesting to see what other bloggers are doing or not doing these days. I think I caught on earlier about it being all weird and dead like. Now almost most of the folks I used to read are paused or dead in the water. Well, hey, at least it wasn't just me being all weird and angsty...its a trend.

Pride Step Aside and Project Ladle

Tomorrow I have a vet appt for coconut. She has an upper respiratory infection. Probably from the smoothies she was getting. With the smoothies she got energy back and now eats again and has energy. I finally found out that she wants small ripped food no bigger than her width of her mouth hand fed. Spoiled huh?
So tomorrow I will be taught how to properly to care for an iguana, i will be told she has mbd, I will be told she has a bruise on her mouth....
She's an 11 year old iguana rescue. She wouldn't eat. I couldn't get enough calcium in her, she got mbd. I've been draining her multiple times a day cause of her URI Keeping her mouth open with another empty syringe while drainings she bit hard each time... hence the bruise. Better she being bruised and me having all my fingers...
I am also taking with me Riley's pee. Oh yes, right now there is a container of dog pee in my fridge. We've had such a hard time with his training but it has gotten worse lately. I'm trying a bizillion different things. He has always drank alot but now its time to make sure there isn't something else going on...like diabetes. Sure, all you that know Riley thinks he's some sugared up crazy crack whore but maybe he's just a crazy crack whore. We shall see. Luckily he pees like a girl and I had an extra ladle. I scooped it under him, he tried to walk away, I told him to stay and I got a ladle full of dog pee.
Maybe I should have openned the container for it to go in first. I managed to open the container, pour the pee in over the bathroom sink and toss the ladle. What? Did you think I'd reuse it? So we shall see what happens. I'm at my wits end with Riley peeing when he shouldn't. Diabetes probably isn't a good thing and I shouldn't hope for it but well, i can't help it. With my sicko pets is sicko me.. damn sore throat and congestion. Too bad they can't pump me with drugs at the vets too... I'd really like to spend the day watching tv on the couch, experimenting with felt embroidery but alas, I have work, no embroidery thread and some patterns printed off would be good... yeah those printers i want/need will be waiting for the holidays, again....
Time to hit the hay, gotta get into work early. I did some work meanie moves, the boss said thanks and we joked around, I made a reference to my bitchiness and he said some nice stuff about how he likes me alot and to the rest I'm misunderstood. I have always liked him and know I could never find a better boss....a tough order to beat so young in my work career....of course he's only half of my employment pair....lets just say, they complete each other....

Luda vs Ice T

Ludacris is on Law and Order. He kinda stunk... I never thought I'd see a day that I'd say "hey, Ice T kinda ain't bad, he's better than Ludacris."
Law and Order is an amazing phenomenan in my mind. People of all ages and walks of life love it. When Jerry Orbach left I was so sad, went he shortly later passed away I felt such a loss. He was a character that so many could relate to.
The new replacement stinks. . I don't like Dennis Farina. I can't even look past it to watch the show, besides I'd rather watch invasion if anything. I am partial to SVU but I'd enjoy the regular Law and Order pre Orbach lesving. I don't watch the Edgar Suit one. Once you do Men in Black as a bug in a human suit, being an serious overacting detective is a tough shoe to fill. Granted when you have cable and there is nothing on there is always a law and order on some station.
I also love me some Richard Belzer on SVU. Suddenly I find myself saying this dude, or that is hot even though he's old...
So here is some of my old dude hotties...
Patrick Stewart
Ed Bradley
Richard Belzer
Alan Rickman

Well hello, Aldis, its so good to see you, Aldis

I'm on way to having a car. I pick it up tonight if I get a ride to the dealer. Thanks to the wonderful lady that hit me I now technically have 434 dollars a month to live on ignoring bills such as my new bathroom payments which are supposed to be about 300 a month, insurance and vet bills. Really it couldn't come at a better time, right when my mortgage went up 130 bucks a month....
I'm hoping I can take care of most of the bathroom's expenses off of my return and my yearly bonus.
Luckily I live in the City so that things like having my own garden and watering it costs me no more than my regular water bill. Of course now I don't have the dough for the big ass plastic pots for my pumpkin garden, soil and planting something in the wasteland of my front yard.
434, contacts cost 300 bucks a year plus dentist, gyno, & psycho.
I cut starbucks from my life mostly a few months back, now I get one or two a month... buh bye.
Well at least this weekend went out with a bang. Saturday while reminiscing about a fine 1984 string cheese and a side of dark and dry woodchuck cider I enjoyed food and company. Oysters to be exact and fries and fish and sticky toffee pudding... I think I wowed the crowd with my ability to finish that pudding while they all declared defeat.
It was probably the most fun I've had going out in a while. Drinks, tables that rolled as they were really dish carts, jokes out the wazoo and the cutest couple to watch. She is all pretty and smiley and he is the best socialized man I've ever met. I just wanna pinch them.
Now we must come to the important part of being at the Tap Room, their ketchup mixture that comes with their fries. Good Lord its divine. Putting your finger on what it tastes like is the challenge. Its like a bbqed, cumin (not pronounced comin), cinnamon, tabasco delight. Being that I'll be living off pasta with a ketchup sauce the replication is tempting... Hey I could grow my own taters too...
I also did a big ass Target run. I'm stocked on lots of necessaries for a while. Still need to fix the ipod and get a new camera card...
E returned to GA yesterday. It was a very tough visit. I didn't get a back rub either, bummer. Today as I walked to work I could feel the back pain, then I felt the rain...The ride I had to work killed her phone this weekend and never got my massage that I'd like a ride. I called work half way through my walk and whined for a ride. I don't want to talk about E's visit, I just hope the next one is good. Hopefully the lack of family visitors and me having a car will help tremendously.
This is Shoes, with your budgeting report. Thank you and goodnight...

Stay away from mechanics...

So I've recently learned I am the bearer of broken mechanics... I have broken my ipod, car, etc. Now my email address isn't working. Seriously yo, I haven't done anything to it....
This post will self destruct in 5...4...3...2...1...,
