beepbeepbeep loud enough to shatter the eardrums when they back up. So far as I can tell, they’re not actually getting much accomplished, but I can’t really see on the other side of the fence, either, so who the hell knows? I wish they’d get the damn job done and over with though, I DO know THAT.

Wound report: It’s sensitive and weepy. Just like me!

From my comments: Robyn, The pet store kitties are too cute! Do they have volunteers come in every day or just you once a week? I LOVE kittens and how curious and playful they are. They would rather play witha balled up peice of paper than an actual cat toy. Cute! Nope, they have volunteers come in not only every day, but twice a day to feed and scoop and clean out the cages. Everything having to do with the cats is taken care of by volunteers for the shelter, though the store managers have keys to the cat room in case of emergency. Also, adoptions for the cats are held four (I think) afternoons a week, and trained volunteers run those, as well. The Poppy Seed cake is very very good using: A butter pecan cake mix (betty c I think) and coconut cream instant pudding. That sounds REALLY good. I just wrote that down so I’ll remember to give it a try in the future! I am humbled and bow down to Robyn, the Queen of the Badasses!!!!! Could you go have my biopsies for me? Please? I am not a badass..:( Just keep in mind that the worst part is the anticipation. The part where it’s actually happening never lasts as long as you think it will, but the part where you’re waiting for it to happen lasts FOREVER. I recommend good drugs beforehand. Robyn! How about a little warning next time before you post a picture that funny? People look at me strangely when I laugh that loudly at work, and I can’t really say, “Well, um, I was just laughing at Robyn’s badass face.” I think what you MEAN is that you were so frightened you jumped and screamed, right? Right? But what fun would it be if I warned you beforehand? The best part of putting up a picture like that is that I know y’all will be taken by surprise. 🙂 I know this is going to sound like motherly advice but, don’t go swimming in the quarry ’til the stitches are out. There’s some nasty bacteria in fresh water. I knooooooooooooow, I know. I promise, no swimming in the quarry ’til I’m all healed up. I wouldn’t want fish poop bacteria to get in there and do some damage. I’m a badass, but luckily not a dumb one. Heh. Even though today is a perfect day to go swimming! Did everyone see Nance‘s badass haiku?: You sneer at the pain as they cut holes that will drain badass bitchypoo Hee! What did you think of The Company? It wasn’t quite what I was expecting but it was really good. I liked it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting it, either. It was very documentary-like, but enjoyable. I have to confess that I like Center Stage even more, though. In fact, I just finished watching it again this morning. I think I could watch that last half hour of the movie every single day. Time to add it to my wish list, methinks. Interesting tidbit about The Company: Neve Campbell was actually asked to join the ballet company who took part in the movie, but she turned ’em down. It’s that new sweetener. I think it starts with “Mal” like malbotol. They’re using it in all the low carb sweet stuff. Everybody I’ve talked to has the same intestinal reaction. I think they put it in Weight Watchers stuff so you can eat it the day before a weigh in. 🙂 It’s become a huge topic of discussion on the Weight Watchers site that the desserts can cause stomach upset (or worse). Has something to do with the sugar alcohols they use or something like that Ugh. For sure I’m going to avoid the Applebee’s Weight Watchers desserts, because that was one painful afternoon I don’t want to repeat anytime soon!
