Home

Saturday night I got home from 2 weeks at Kody's. Faith decided to come home for the night instead of her usual Friday. We had popcorn and got caught up on our recordings. Sunday morning I went to feed Julie's cats so Faith could sleep in. Then Tony made waffles and we watched the Puppy Bowl. So did Abe; it exhausted him!


Kody has chilled a bit as he's gotten older. He's pretty happy to just hang out, but will not pass up some ball throwing. He has good taste in books too.



This is Chloe, Julie's mom's cat that she had to take in. She is just the sweetest girl and loves attention. We've cut back on her food, but it will take a long time so see if it's made any effect on her weight. When I was there yesterday, she snuck by me when I opened the bedroom door and just started walking around the house. I followed close behind and the calico Nutmeg got up on the table, a hissin' and spittin'! I didn't want it to escalate so I scooped up that giant bowling ball and went back to her room. 

The art store that I sent my piece to had a live Instagram opening Saturday night, so I watched for over an hour. They had about 3000 submissions from all over the world, with more still coming in. They had put all the artwork in CD cases to display them, and had to build more shelving to accommodate them all. An employee used her Ipad to walk around and show what she could. The place was very crowded but she did a good job. I was still at Kody's and one minute to spare before I had to leave, I spotted mine! There was some really cool pieces and I don't have much hope mine will sell, but it was still fun!

Ok, I’ll bite, what does Hope usually do on Friday night?

She usually comes home on Friday to stay the night, but we switched to Sat this time.

Puppy Bowl + waffles = unbeatable Sunday. Abe's crash is me after leg day. Kody's book taste > mine. Chloe the bowling ball vs. Nutmeg's hiss‑n‑spit? Pure soap opera gold—I'd pay to watch. Congrats on spotting your art in that 3K‑piece mob! Even if it doesn't sell, you made the global cut.

Live isn't always best

Image
A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
