Happy Birthday to our cat...

Today we did so much running around. Very icy out today. Yes, Rob got to say black ice more than once. I fell climbing on to a sidewalk over a smallish snow bank. Why did I fall? I hit an ice patch. What kind of ice? Black Ice. That shit is everywhere!!!

Anyways DMan had two appointments today in the city and even with the very icy and snowy conditions they were not cancelled. So off we went, venturing out. Then we realized it was our Lucius's tenth birthday and well you can't celebrate a birthday without gifts so off we went to PetCo to purchase the birthday boy his birthday gifts. Ten years old, WOW. It's funny because we got Lucius way back in the day, about a year in to Rob's disability or so. He was a much needed bright spot in our otherwise crazy lives. He continues to brighten our day in so many ways. He is also one of the most neurotic cats I have ever met in my entire life. And I've met my fair share of cats. He doesn't like the carpeting on his feet. He doesn't like new people in the house. He doesn't like certain wet foods. He screams and howls the entire time you are cooking chicken or turkey in the oven.  It makes Thanksgiving an interesting day. That's for sure. He cuddles up and sleeps with me. He's got the softest fur of any cat ever and sometimes he even lets you pat it.

He does not enjoy being laughed at and will pay you back. Throw up all over my new uniforms one time certainly taught me not to laugh at him, where he could see me anyway. His name Lucius means light and he is certainly a beacon in our life. Happy Birthday Old Man!! Enjoy your organic catnip!

OMG BLACK ICE! You should be careful, you could fall. Oh, you did. That BLACK ICE IS HORRIBLE. So dangerous. SHOULD BE OUTLWAWED.

Also. 10 years? Really? I'm kind of in shock by that number. 10 years. Wow. Happy birthday, kitty. Does he like being called kitty? I don't want to be barfed on, heh. :-)

He doesn't mind being called kitty. Lana-Rose calls him kitty and Hi Lu and he never throws up on her stuff. Well he rarely does.

Why I don't want OnStar..

Personally, I don't want On Star installed in my vehicle. Everyone enjoys new technology but sometimes I feel it's a little too intrusive. Intrusive you ask? Well I watch the commercials and in them it says," Mrs. Jones, I notice you've been in an accident. I've alerted police and they're on their way." Or you have, "Mr. Smith, I notice your air bag has been deployed, do you require further assistance?" Why wouldn't you want that in your vehicle, especially seeing how quickly they respond after an accident, they'd get you help right away. Yes, I see that. I see that they would get me help right away. But what about a good hit and run, smash and dash. You wouldn't be able to do that because On Star would ruin your alibi. You can't say well I wasn't in an accident and On Star would say, yes you have been our sensors show it. Or what if they're listening in on your conversation while you're talking? Think of some of thing...

Get out of your own head.....

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

The First Hearing of the Heartbeat

HJ laying on the table with her digital recorder while we listen to the sound of the baby's heartbeat. AMAZING! That's all I can say. This was taken with my cell phone which I then couldn't get the video on to my computer. So I asked a friend how she got pictures moved around and she ended up emailing it to me so I could put it on here to share.
