Ok. Back to work. Holidays are over, days off have been taken. The house is back to it’s mediocre state of grace, the cats are fed and medicated. And by medicated, let me just say that we got all but about ohh two drops down her throat until she gagged and shook her head so fierce that she may be now suffering from shaken baby syndrome. She jumped down from the counter (just as our mouse friend ran across the floor between TWO CATS) and looked at me like “fucking stick that thing down my throat again bitch, and I’m letting all the mice in the house!”
so. we’ll work on that.
So far, I can’t seem to convince them that the cat bubbler is better than the faucet. We’ll work on that too.
Is everyone just heartbroken about Jett Travolta? As per usual with celebrity stories like this, the media is just digging for stuff to talk about. I feel badly about that. I think that the family just needs to hide and heal. I don’t want to hear from some doctor speculating about if he was or was not on seizure meds, why he had two caregivers. I don’t care to hear from the minister of health of the Bahamas. I just don’t. He’s gone. That family is broken. Like any family is broken when they lose someone. Gah. Nothing good about it.
Kathy!!! I haven’t talked to you in forever, and have lost your email! Call me this week or email me and let’s catch up. I will keep you posted about the refinancing!
So, I was watching my boyfriend Anthony Bourdain on his premiere last night and just kept thinking about Gert. Dressedin kitchen whites. Chopping, mopping, cursing, slicing, learning all of it from the best of the best. Honey, I want you to know, I have never been more scared in my entire life of anything I ever did, than to get on that plane and fly away from all I knew to be right and true, and land in Indiana. Talking to you in the backyard on the wireless phone (no cells back then!) pacing back and forth, thinking “what am I doing? I should be married, baking cupcakes and thinking about having babies. and I am here where I know NO ONE.” Bone deep scared. But look at who I got! I got the LeapFrog and his lovely wife! I got Clemo and Kizz and Dion! Chrome and I turned a state-line-crossing drive into a weekend event and then drove across the world together to find werid bbq, listen to the same cd a million times over and get the best stories ever!
So. I know you are scared. Of the unknown. Of it falling through. Of leaping. Of staying. I know you are. But I know that you are more than the lump sum that is here and now. I know you are more. We all do. We all are here, hands high, lifting you above the crowd to surf a bit. Just leap. Just jump. It’s going to be ok!
I read another script last night. Henry Flamthrowa. This is one for consideration for the season. I liked it. It read fast. It was surprising. I don’t know if I’d want to see it. But I liked it. Will let it marinate today a while and see if I feel different. Anyone know it?
Okiedokie. I gotta get some more coffee and think about getting into the shower. Brilliant day everyone! Huzzuah and Halakaleem!
Misti Ridiculous 
Don’t know if this will work for you but figure sharing is caring and all. Shooting the liquid down the back of the throat freaks them out (and sometimes makes them yak). I go in from the side and spooge it all along a back portion of the tongue. They still don’t like it but while they’re pushing their tongues around making the yucky noises they accidentally swallow the meds. Good luck!

I agree with everything you said about John and his family. It made me sick seeing that EMT on Inside Edition. Sick! Me…you give me strength and courage! I have thought about nothing but your leaps and your journeys! And its all true what you said. Look what we got out of your leap right here… MGirl. I’d jump off anything for her! I will miss all of you every second of every day but I have to go and find the part of me that hasn’t been there for many years. I’m scared but I’m not too scared to try. Its worth it. May be I can be the recruiter this year!
