Como Esta?
This morning my mobile vet is coming out to check on Clementine and give a round of yearly vacs to Clarice...Clem has some skin abrasion on her neck, and I've done 10 days of antibiotics for her, applied topical cream to keep the sore from crunching over, but I'm right back where we started...I actually have 3 vets for the cats, my vet of over 10 years, the mobile vet who will come to the house (the cats are less stressed and she helped me with Dexter in May) and a holistic vet who does accupuncture and treats with alternative medicines...that's more doctors than *I* have, but then I rarely get sick or ill, so I just don't go...the dentist hadn't seen me in over 2 years...yeah, I'm not proud of this, but I didn't have anything wrong, so I didn't go...who goes to the dentist when nothing is wrong??
I ran around looking for birthday presents for Brian...I hit the role playing store where he plays a Star Wars game on MOnday nights and picked up some new figures and dice for him...You have to understand I don't know beans about what I was doing, so I took a stab in the dark that what I bought was the right stuff (the kids there helped direct me, but I didn't know if they sent me in the right direction)...turns out these were new figures, he hadn't gone and bought them all yet (something he does tend to do), so the present was successful...it reminded me of when kids open a Happy Meal and are excited they got the Transformer they've been hoping for...except these are just bigger Happy Meals...so today I need to get one last present, cause tomorrow's is already taken care of, its on order, but hasn't arrived yet...hmmm...I think maybe I'll make him a bead, although he won't wear it often...but its the thought and all that...
100+ all this week, the weatherman forecast looked like a report card of a really smart kid..99 and 100 across the board...i'm watering the front lawn so it doesn't dry up and blow away...the caterpillars are still changing in the back, I had one open and fly away, and one more is still cooking, but should be hatching soon...Did I mention another Ruby Throat showed up last week? I thought it was a giant bug, it kinda creeped me out at first till I realized it was a tiny bird...I need to get that feeder and water feature going!!

i like going to the dentist....
Hey, we both had geeky weekends! I went with my geek to the airplane museum. I have to admit it was kinda cool. I had a good time and Mark was practically giddy. :D
Love,
Lori

Hi Gang..
My computer is in San Antone w/ Brian today...it has been a big piece of crap since I bought it and last night I threw the battery across the room to teach it a lesson...I don't think it worked, however...I hate this machine, I hardly ask it to do anything and yet it just breaks down every other week...my last Dell was brilliant (it wasn't a laptop, tho, maybe that's the problem)...it worked for 5 years w/ no problems at my last job...so anyway, I'm really angry at it and almost took it outside to pound the living daylights out of it, but thought maybe I should wait...so Brian ran off with it to save it from me and he's making it all better...the stupid thing won't run email properly now, the blue screen of death shows up all too often, it freezes, the mouse just decides not to work whenever it feels like it, the printer stopped working the other night in the middle of a perfectly fine session, and when i take it out of it's docking station, after a few minutes of use the touch pad will stop responding...its not even a year old...WTF???
so I'm making beads, listening to some books on tape (dvd) and thought I could leave a comment here to update my site, since Brian is busy and doesn't have a chance to do it from where he is at the moment...hope you're having a better day than my machine is, and I'll check with ya'll tomorrow...{i should take this baseball bat out of my hand now}...
