I have a stalker and her name is Sheila. Ohhhh she just updated. BRB.
Ok I'm back.
I have a stalker, her name is Sheila. She is the good kind of stalker, trust me. Not once have I received threatening notes about how our souls are joined in twine, nor have I ever found her digging thru my garbage cans in the dead of the night.
Instead, she tries very hard to be FIRST! on my blog posts, and always has time to talk to me. This makes me feel loved.
Some days I get into a funk. and logging into my email to see her status as I <3 Bluepaintred makes me smile when nothing else has that whole day.
Sheila has to deal with a lot of crap in her life, her boyfriend Tom had an accident and is now paralyzed. She takes care of him and loves him. Her job, while not the greatest, does sound fun, but fun doesn't always put food on the table.
Nevertheless, she tries to cheer me up, even when she is feeling bad.
In fact, I sort of get the feeling she is more of a friend than a stalker. What do you think??

I don't understand Dina Lohan
I really really REALLY don't understand her.
As a mom, who has no teen aged children, maybe it is not my place to judge another mom, but come on! I will not be partying with my kids when they are teens! You will NOT find me supplying them with alcohol and drugs and then asking for privacy when SHOCK! my child has to go to a drug rehab place.
HOW on earth can Dina Lohan look at her self in the mirror every morning knowing that her bad parenting is screwing up her daughters life? Lindsey Lohan is supremely talented. Yes.She is. Don't argue with me, this is my blog!
How can Lindsey be expected to stay clean and sober when each time she exits a facility that is meant to dry her out, her own mother is waiting in the wings to start the partying back up???
I know Lindsey is over the age of minority, but if she was MY daughter, she would be grounded!

Can your cat tell time?
Our first cat, Tisdale Newton, was a Manx Kodac. And I know I am spelling that wrong. She was black, fluffy as all get out with a huge mane, and very very smart.
My husband used to, and still does, love to have the music booming when he drives, when tisdale heard his car pull up with the stereo rocking, she would run to the door, jump and flip the chain lock off, so my husband could get in. It was super cute.
We did not know much about cats when we first got Tis, and so to feed her, we set out a huge bowl of dry food and she was allowed to eat whenever she was hungry.
Unfortunately, Tis died a few years back.
Two years ago this September a litter of kittens was born. These kittens were special in a few ways. Number one, Our goal was to get another cat when we bought our own home and the kittens were born the night we signed the papers for our home, and number two, my step mother had been in charge of a friends cat and accidentally let it out, resulting in, of course kittens. Mother Marnee was told she had to find homes for the kittens.
We, of course were over joyed! These kittens were meant to be with us, why else would they be born the exact night we bought our home?
So we brought home two kittens and named them Tigger and Shadow. Shadow only stayed with us for a year before we had to find an alternate home for him. He was peeing on everything, including us, constantly.
ANd then there is Tigger. She is not an energetic kitten at all! In fact, she got downright fat becuase all she did was sleep and we had continued in our huge bowl of food feeding method. We took her to the vet last April for her booster shots and the vet put her foot down. Tig had to lose weight. apparently it is bad for an 18 month old cat to be almost 12 lbs.
The vet said to put her on a wet food diet, that the dry food was not very good for cats, and to feed her only twice a day.
After a few weeks of the 12 and 12 feeding times, Tig began to tell time. . . In a fashion!
For a whole hour before its time to eat, Tigger can be found chewing on our feet, crying, scratching at the closet where her food is kept, meowing, and generally sucking up to whomever looks gullible enough to feed her early.
So. Tigger might not be able to open doors or leap tall buildings, or even to aim her hair balls for the litter box, but she can tell time.... Can your cat?

The Battery Is Charged!
A while back, I bought a custom made vinyl phrase for my bedroom wall. No you cannot know what it says. You can wait for the photos dammit! Anyway. I knew that these vinl wall things existed becuase I had seen them at a local store in town here, but they only came in black and bronze(BOOOOOO!)
neither black nor bronze will work on a burgundy wall, and they did not offer the phrase I wanted. I started looking on etsy, and then switched over to eBay, and finally found them! Since they were so cheap I could not help myself and had to get this one too!
I don;t know if you can tell from the picture what it says so I had the husband take a separate one of just the words. Please also take the time to note Stuperman is fast asleep on the couch. We;;.. maybe not fast asleep. he is doing that ACK ! don't want to falls asleep slither slide JERKS HEAD UP, eyes close, slide more Sway, JERKS HEAD UP! must mot sleep dance
It's so cute, and damn fitting, wouldn't you say?

Are You sick Of Me Yet?
I'm having a hard time deciding what to do anbout the windows in my bedroom. They deffinatly need a covering becuase I love me an afternoon nap and the sun comes streaming in the windows int he afternoon.
Right now we have el cheap-o white plastic blinds that I hate. They have no style and very little functionality.
Plus every time I try to wipe them down, they cut my hands to shreds.
I was thinking some nice wood blinds would be OK, but then i thought about the spots and the deep red of the wall they would be on and figure the wood would be way out of place. And if I painted them white then there is no difference between them and the plastic POC ones we have up now.
Sigh.
So then I thought that some nice wispy flowing panel curtains would be nice, but we have a high headboard that would anchor the curtains down ridding us of the nice flowing part. Plus, wispy doesn't keep pout the sun.
Any one have any ideas?

Woaaaaaaaaaaaah
Now I am annoyed.
Tell me. Ifyou said to some one take a picture of this, No no, I need that in it too, now zoom in on just the words and take a picture. Sweet!
And they said oh the battery on the camera is almost dead
to which you replied well I need those pictures first, I want to post them
and then by the time you tucked in and snorgle kissed your baby the battery was out of the camera and on the charger, would you get mad?
Yea. I thought so.

Oh! A Challenge!
I do paid advertising for a certain company. It's pretty easy work. All I have to do is write a post about any subject I want and within that post I enter a keyword as naturally as possible. Some of them are really easy, like coffee or chocolate, but some are really really hard.
For example. This company might want me to use the phrase New York personal injury lawyer in a blog post, but what do I know about that? I can't even begin to think of a post where I would even talk about New York. So really, I'm in a bit of trouble here.
You see, with this company you are not allowed to refuse an assignment, So if I cannot find a way to use a certain difficult key word... Well lets not even think of the consequences.
So. Can any of you find a way to use the phrase New York personal injury lawyer?
'Cus I'm stumped!

My Tummy Just growled at me
My dinner today consisted of a bowl of cottage cheese and a bowl of Chocolate pudding. I know that in a few weeks I will be back to eating regular people food, but until then, My choices of food is pretty limited.
If it has to be chewed, I can't have it.
Here is a list of things I picked up today when we went shopping:
Jello - Banana Strawberry, Raspberry , Strawberry , Berry Berry (2 of each)
Pudding - Two boxes of instant Milk Chocolate
Stove top stuffing - although I'm not certain I will be able to eat this.
Cottage Cheese - the large size LOL
Chicken noodle soup - two boxes of the instant cup a soup packets
Porridge - brown sugar flavored
Cream of wheat - I know I like it, but can I cook it?
As you can see, My diet is very limited. If you have any suggestions of foods I can eat, please, PLEASE tell me.
But nothing with apples becuase apples are GROSS!
Also. Who thinks I will lose weight during all of this? No chips, no chocolate, no candy, no sandwiches? Really, no good stuff LOL.
I think I am guaranteed to lose at least a few LBS!

Me and the husband like to argue about stupid things.
I'm not sure If I will be able to do this without a photo, but it is too late now to go out and take one.
Our front yard consists of a driveway and a four foot wide, billion foot long patch of rocks with trees. I want to put those little solar lights along the rocks, but my husband said it will look stupid, that you only put landscape lighting along grass.
What do you think?
Oh Look! I found a picture. Sorta.
Now. Really. Think it would look stupid to have them, say every two feet, going up to the house? I think it would look cute!

Live Vrs. Dead Food
We have two beautiful Corn Snakes.
Sugar, A Snow corn is White with a bit of orange. She is an albino. Her eyes are red - well pink, when she is ready to shed.
Spice is a pretty little Ghost corn. Her colors make it so that in the wild she would blend right it, as invisible as a ghost!
Recently I have gotten a few e-mails obviously typed with mean fingers relating to the fact we choose to feed our snakes live prey 80% of the time.
Let me take the time to answer a few of your complaints:
Agressivness:
Number one. Corn snakes are NOT an aggressive species of snake. If you want aggressive, go wrangle a Texas rat snake or a snake from the cobra family. Corn Snakes make wonderful pets becuase they are so easily handled! Feeding them Live prey will not make them more aggressive, just like feeding them pre-killed will not calm them down!
Nutrition:
You said that maybe 2% of the rats nutrition is lost when it is pre-killed and frozen. This is blatantly wrong! Look at our own frozen foods! Which one is healthier? The frozen corn or the garden fresh cob? Yeah, I thought so! In fact. If we were to switch to all pre killed all the time, we would be forced to supplement their diet by dipping the rats in vitamins. That fact right there tells me we are doing the right way!
Ethics:
You think pre-killed rats die a whole lot easier then when they are snatched and strangled by a snake and that at least in the wild, a rat has a chance to escape.
I say baloney! It takes seconds for my snakes to kill their food. They do not play around! Our snakes eat every three weeks and they are hungry when dinner time comes! The bite, usually on the face neck or haunch and squeeze the stuffing out. Trust me. The rat is dead before it has time to care its not going to be writing home about it's latest vacation.
Any questions oh anonymous one?
Oh. And just so you know. As I am typing this, I am watching Sugar eat a cute black and white rat. It was bought frozen. But not becuase of you. Our rat man only had frozen in the size we needed.
