You've Heard of Gender Identity Issues....

.....but have you ever heard of anything like "species identity issues?"

'Cause I'm pretty sure my cat has that.

She greets me at the door.

She follows me around wherever I go.

She sits for a treat.

She rolls over for a belly rub.

When I'm getting ready in the morning, she sits in my bathroom cupboard or on the toilet and listens to me talk about what I have going on for the day....

....and she responds.

When I am at the computer trying to "work" (term used loosely here), she plops herself right next to my notes.

She lets the girls throw her over their shoulder and carry her around like a baby.

She sits on top of the fridge while I cook.

She is most definitely a people cat.

Only I think she thinks she is a dog.

And I'm thinking of changing her name to "Shep."

goal for today

My goal for today is to sit here and polish up my random notes that I have been taking over the past several weeks.....and turn them into a presentation. One that is worthy to go in front of a board of directors.

whew.

sounded simpler in my mind than it does in writing.

more on this later.

back online

there was a glitch in mediacom's customer service system. apparently. that's what i'm told.

so last week

(as in 1 week ago)

(7 days)

they DISCONNECTED my cable and internet at the pole. because they had not yet recorded the last renter's transfer away from here and mine into this place.

and yet, they have been keeping up to date on the bills......hmmm.

so this whole week (7 entire days....)I have been without cable and internet and I actually experienced withdrawl like shaking symptoms and would wake up in a cold and disturbing sweat.

I need my internet people.
And I need to know what the real housewives of new york are doing.
and oprah.
and rachel ray.

whew. i am so glad this experience is behind me.

I think I might be a better person because of it.

or not.

catching up

i have no cable
no internet at my house.

for like 4 days now.

i snuck in brian's house for use of his internet.

and so i could watch the real housewives of new york....the stupid show i allow myself to watch which makes me feel better about the boring of rural life.....digressing here, sorry.

so
to catch up.

no more neck brace. i can drive again. conveniently just 2 days after gas prices went up like a dime in my town.

the price hasn't changed in 6 weeks. the entire time that i have been unable to drive.

now i can.
up went the price.

i'm thinking conspiracy.

ok....other stuff....

ballgames
ballgames
ballgames
and ball games.
oh and 1 track meet.

so to re-cap my life this week:
ballgames
no neck brace
gas price conspiracy
and last but not least,
real housewives of new york.

the end.

Magic

Tonight is one of those rare occassions where I will actually be able to be in TWO places at ONE time.

Mommy-power. Don't underestimate it.

the trick behind this illusion?
two girls have ball games scheduled tonight....same time and same park.
(the same park is the key to pulling off this amazing feat.)
me....at both of them.

Resume

Working on a resume today.

With one week left of having a neck brace, I feel like it is time to start thinking about that next job.

whatever that will be....

and when I say "start thinking"....what I really mean "do something about what I have been thinking"...

and if you aren't sure about what I have been thinking about, rest assured, you are not alone.

I haven't been entirely open about my ideas because I'm afraid to tell you, then fail miserably in front of you.

But on the other hand, there can be something positive about having nothing to lose...

....i'll have to chew on that one for a while.
