Overalls

Long absence.  My apologies.  My blog was down.  Nothing really new to report however, I'd like to bring to light the following:

1.  Carrie and Dave's baby girl (in Carrie's uterine baby apartment) hath not hatched.  Baby Greta is not done cooking in the ole' oven.

2.)  Apparently Memorial Day stirs that inner fashionista deep within all of us.  I saw three pairs of overalls-- all rocked by morbidly obese women with their underwear hangin' out.

3.)  Kasia has taken up nighttime residence on my head.  Literally.  She climbs into bed with Chris and I, does a few laps around our bed, then plops her hairy self down RIGHT next to my head.  It actually works out perfect because I have linear reach to her soft ears; rubbing them makes me fall fast asleep.

4.)  I have never been a tried and true supporter of energy drinks.  No thanks to Rosanna Sennstrom for her forceful purchasing of Jager-bombs at Ballydoyle two years ago, I thought I had sworn off the stuff.  One sip and it brings me right back to being hung over at the Brookfield Zoo and smelling the paciderm house.  HOWEVER.... Saturday evening Phil Munch encouraged I try Monster Rehab 20 calorie lemonade.  I'm hooked.  Love the stuff.

5.)  After reading several gardening books, surfing the web for flower planting tips and taking several trips to Home Depot to window shop, Chris and I finally landscaped the yard.  We bit the bullet, went for the gusto and bought enough flowers for the entire house.  5 hours later, a mild sunburn and unquenchable thirst brought me to a beautiful yard.  What satisfaction.  I just hope the darn things don't die.

6.)  Kasia has befriended a chipmunk named Felix who is living under our patio.  Felix has managed to make himself quite the home, complete with a dirt elevator and a buffet.  Sometimes, Felix walks up to our sliding glass door (while we're inside) and flicks us off.  Not nice.

7.)  I've been watching the Casey Anthony trial on HLN.  I should've been an investigator.

8.)  Paris Hilton has reared her large head.  Paris' bullshit reality show starts next week.  I know it'll be awesome.
