Regarding the Wallpaper

Try it! The raspberries taste like raspberries! The cherries taste like cherries! The strawberries taste like strawberries! The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!

Poor Kitty

Let me tell you what happened to my cat....
I went into the spare room to iron my pants for work yesterday morning and then shut the door (I leave it shut and the heat off most of the time) Then I went to work. Then I came home, put Ian to bed, had supper, went to bed. Then I got up this morning, had a shower, and went to give Ian breakfast. That's when I noticed the cat's food hadn't been touched since the morning before...
Guess where she was for 24 hours....

In the dark...

In the cold...

No food...

No water...

No litter box...

Luckily, no harm done. She wolfed her breakfast (is that the right word for a cat gobbling? Maybe I should say she "tigered" her breakfast?) Then she proceeded to vomit it all back up again. Since then, fine. Super cuddly, but fine.And those of you who have met my cat know that if she is cuddly, she must have been lonely!

Teeth

Well someone here is teething. And guess what... it's not Ian. I have a wisdom tooth coming in. So Ian and I can go through it together. Maybe it's happening to help me empathize with my baby. Who knows. I spent a great deal of time this summer having my teeth filled and the dentist advised me to have the wisdom teeth removed. I only have one so far that is in but he said to get them all pulled because they are a risk for abcessing. I was referred to an oral surgeon and had an appointment and everything. I didn't go. Part of the reason is because I did have so much work done all ready that I wasn't sure my benefits would cover it. But that was just an excuse. Really, the reason is that I am extremely terrified of having general anesthesia and surgery. What if the anesthesia doesn't work? What if I don't wake up? I shudder to think.

But now as my jaw begins to throb and sting, I am starting to regret that decision...

Sorry folks.

I just wrote a whole blog entry and then when I tried to add photos internet explorer froze up. So I am too tired to type it again. But suffice it to say, work sucks, weather sucks, Ian is having a great time at daycare. He doesn't miss me at all which also sucks. I have a lot fewer hours in the days now, I will try to leave a short note here and there in the week and on the weekends I will try to get a great long post up with photos and everything. So sorry foks, we are about to experience a quality drop here!

I took some pictures of Ian at the park on Saturday, so here they are. Hope they tide you over!



I meant for just one of the first picture but now I can't delete them!



Oh, well I guess I can! Woo hoo!

Meat in the Mail!

Yeppers, nothing on this great green earth quite beats meat in the mail. I sure love getting meat in the mail. Not a day goes by when I don't say to myself: "I sure could use some meat in the mail" Yep, good ol, meat in the mail. A little meat in the mail never hurt anybody.

In case you haven't guessed already, I recieved meat in the mail today. (Thanks Mom and Dad)

So I am sitting hear eating my mail meat (hahaha) wondering what to write. And it occurs to me to explain to everybody about my kitchen floor. It's huge. And dirty. It's not that I don't clean it, it's just that I have a baby. I clean it all the time but the very next day there is something new littering the whole walking surface. I have yet to discover an effective cleaning solution that appeals to my basic incompatibilty with housework. I think a dog would be the solution, but then I have to take care of poopy so I guess that won't work. Alas.

To make things worse, I started giving Ian cheerios as a snack. He sure loves to chase those things around with his little fat baby fingers and stick them in his mouth. But the first thing he does when I dump a handful on his tray is smack them so they scatter around the kitchen floor. Maybe I should stick to baby food. At least that only gets on his hands!

I went to an orientation meeting today for the SPCA. I thought it might be fun to do some volunteer work. I won't have time for much but I figure i need a hobby. I can't just go to work and take care of Ian. I need something that I want to do that isn't a waste of time or money. So I think volunteer work is the answer. They should call me soon for a tour of the facility and then I can pretty much come and go as I please. They need people to cuddle cats, walk dogs, clean up, do repairs and maintenence, help with office work, work booths at malls and stuff, and visit schools and things like that. So I don't mind doing any of that. It would be great to get my mind off of problems.

No pic today, sorry. I have to download and save my camera tomorrow, so probably no pics then either, but I will be taking Ian somewhere fun on Sunday probably, so I will try to get a pic in then. Then back to work on Monday!

I've run out of ways to say "I'm Lazy" for my Post Title

So as long as you know I am lazy, then expectations are low and nobody gets disappointed. Especially regarding housework. I do the bare minimum around here you know. It is mostly cleaning up BEFORE Ian rather than cleaning up after him. Anyhoo, if you come by, it might be messy. So there. don't say I didn't warn you.

Now, that is the only drawback to visiting me. I know the Grandma's have got a Hankerin' for some Spankerin'... after all that kid needs a good whack. Just kidding. But you Grandma's really should come visit because both the little man and I would really love to see you both. He is so cute. And friendly. And he smiles. And bites. Ok, the last one, not so much. But wouldn't you like to cuddle a pudgy little puddin? I know he wants some granny spoilin. He's definitly due. (And I could use a break as well.) So Grandma's unite! Come visit the baby-o! You know you want to! And West Jet has some Massive Seat Sales right now! In fact I would like to extend the invitation to any Aunties or Uncles who have not been here yet. You know who you are. You can get a round trip ticket for about $512! Don't wait any longer! Click here! http://c3dsp.westjet.com/guest/home.shtml?language=EN And I will make a nice dinner and pick you up at the airport! With Ian! He promises not to poop until the next day! (ok I can't back that up)

And as an added bonus, when you come visit, I will finally let the cat out so she won't attack you in your sleep! Looks like she really wants out, don't keep her waiting!
