Have to share

I was moved... so I have to share.

Though I must admit that I shudder to think what will happen to this country if someone like Obama doesn't actually believe that he says. I would be okay with attempting to change things- and failing, rather than preaching change and then not really doing anything.

Shhh

There's a secret party going on...

A meme?!

Yeah, this about about right... Especially the second part.

Posting again?!

Yes, so deal with it. :)

Just heard from hubby- has has a schedule!!! *laughs* This week at least he's Thursday, Friday and Saturday 7 am - 7 pm for training. Yes, Saturday. *bummed* But we do need the money, and I'm pretty sure he'll get an extra $.75 an hour (or something) for working Saturday.

Very tired today, though I shouldn't really be. Saturday night I didn't sleep very well. My brain was doing some cleaning and just threw random images at me. Dreams are usually pretty all over the place, but Saturday night? Whoa. It was like the brain going through a musty attic and just throwing random items out. Not fun in a good way... So I woke up early Sunday and made Sasha very happy by getting up to feed her.

Hubby was sleeping so I set up on the couch to stitch- figuring it was a quiet way to spend time. Kyle was released from his crate and he started out on the opposite end of the couch from me. Within half an hour he was draped over my legs... It was cute, at one point he was half sitting next to me, leaning his body on my arm/torso and throwing me 'is this okay' glances. Since I didn't object he just made himself more comfortable. This was rather nice really. Sasha had previously decided that the shut bedroom door meant she had to be IN the bedroom. Of course, once in the reverse held true. But I ignored her for a moment and then she decided that curling up in bed with dad was acceptable.

Kyle is learning a new trick, well kind of trick. He now knows the 'command' "Go find Mommy/Daddy." When told this he will race to hubby (if I say Daddy!) or me if it's from hubby. We think this could be very useful when we're at the dog park and stuff.

Hmm, spent the weekend doing... nothing! We planned in advance and there was no need to go ANYWHERE (save dog walking) all weekend. Was heavenly. Hubby cooked and last night we had the BEST homemade mashed potatoes. I don't know what he did- but they were amazing. I would marry him for his mashed potatoes. What?! (to quote popfiend)

Ooops, lunch time! Must go. Maybe Posty McPostalot will say more this afternoon!

I'm Back!

Hah! I've been meaning to write about TV. Specifically the TV shows I've been watching lately (thanks to Netflix DVDs). These were the husband's picks... so his fault.

#1- Hex. A British show featuring a teenaged girl (I'm guessing 16-18) attending a live-in high school in Britain. While at the school she discovers she's a witch. But wait! It gets better, she's haunted by a lesbian ghost, finds out she's the descendant of people who used to own the manner house the school is now in, but also! She's the object of desire for a fallen angel named Azazeal. It's fun! :) I am struck though by the number of differences in 'what's acceptable' between British and American shows. #1- there were bare boobies in one of the first episodes and bare boy butts. Never would have happened in the US. #2- she has sex. Now for a soap or something sure, but even on Buffy sex didn't happen all that often between high school characters. Buffy and Angel waited how long to get it on? And they were in looooove. Cassie- the main character in Hex is a rather realistic young woman- her roomie is her best mate, and yet she will still sometimes say things that hurt her feelings because she didn't think first. #3- actually, I don't think I'll mention #3, wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who actually wants to watch the show. I've only seen 6 episodes, but I'm really enjoying it- and looking forward to seeing more. Plus Azazeal is kind of hot...

#2- Robin Hood- the new adventures from just the last couple years, and yes, British. ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0787985/ ) Fun! It was advertised as having 'modern sensibilities' and it does. But I like it anyway. I about cried laughing when the Sheriff of Nottingham commented that they were 'Winning hearts and minds.' Episode or so later he was going on about the 'war on terror.' We've only seen a little bit, but so far so good. I do like the fact that Marian is (so far) one of the smartest characters on the show.

I think that's about all really... We're on a bit of a British kick at the moment.
