Hello operator give me # 9
Check them out here and there are more than I listed...Textually.org
And of course Vertu has come out with yet another outrageously priced cell phone.
What's there really to know here? Small luxury phone manufacturer goes insane, slaps a pair of hugemongous diamonds, two emeralds and 439 rubies on to an absolutely garish cobra, glues it to a lame-ass phone and sells the setup for $310,000? Pretty much. We can only take solace in the fact that only 8 of these Signature Cobra phones will be made by Vertu and its partner in crime, French jeweler Boucheron. There's also a "cheap" version, the $115k Signature Python, which is due for a production run 26 strong, but if you're actually going to spring for something this ridiculous, why not go all the way, right?

This is not my chair
Honey takes my wing back chair away and puts it in the foyer which is basically empty. He then puts the office chair at my desk, I sit down and l start to have cold sweats, my heart starts racing, I'm scared. I do not like this chair at all, it doesn't recline, I can't fit crosslegged into it, there are no cushions to stick things into, this just won't do. Honey looks at me and says are you having a "spell" which is what he calls my anxiety attacks. Yes, I squeak, I don't like this chair, this is not my chair. Would you like your old chair back? Yes, please and please hurry.

Goodbye Wedding Dress
What no e-mails?

Oh oops ..My Bad!
I stopped my medication well two of them anyways, just curious to see what would happen. Mmm'yeah won't do that again. (Until the memory fades and I forget what happens).
Forgot to pay electric bill, did you know they call you with a nice recording now? I didn't.
Painted one toenail purple. I don't know why. The oops part? No polish remover because I usually get my nails done. My husband was aghast. (That was actually fun) Owwwwwwww. My toenail is going to fall off! You stepped on it last night! Don't you remember?
My house is in shambles. Except the bedroom, the bathroom and the kitchen. What do you mean we have a four bedroom house? I thought it was a one bedroom apartment, Honestly I never noticed the other rooms...
Bought a one way airline ticket to Maryland for when I get back from Vacation. From there I plan on buying a one way ticket to Calgary, from there I'm thinking Atlanta...but maybe New York City. I dunno I'll bring a passport, I need it for Canada anyways.

Mommy! Bring me a Cookie!
This is Fletch. In his e-collar. I call it is cone head costume. I mean what the hell is an e-collar? It's not an express card for the toll roads. They call those e-passes. It's more of a bulldozing collar, if he doesn't like something he just moves it on out of his way. He is getting pretty good at it, my little devil of destruction in a cone head. His box was lined with wrapping paper and had a tiny disco ball hanging above it, he has since bulldozed the paper off and the disco ball would smack the top of the collar when he would go in, so I had honey yank it down for now. I'm thinking he's pretty pissed off that the bathroom got redone in wallpaper and the bathroom is pretty much BabyFred's hideout. So, I will redecorate his home for him when the collar comes off for good. I will be glad when it goes away, he can't slip and worm his way under the covers now, he can flip them back and off of us to get in though. Also, he uses it to scoop poop, that's disgusting. But on the other hand his bowel movements are under his control again, for the most part. Which is pretty exciting since farts scare him, especially his own, the first few nights after surgery, all this excess gas would erupt from his bottom and he would jump up and look for a place to hide and basically freak out keeping us up. Oh and the first night he also managed to poo on everything. That was fun. By night two the other kids (Zeus & Babyfred) were getting pretty clingy on me too. I looked at Honey and said this really makes you want to have triplets huh? He said it wouldn't bother me, none of these guys even know I exsist. Rub it in baby. Rub it in. I went to Wal-mart on a Saturday to have some space. I don't like Wal-mart to start with. And I HAD a rule, no Wal-mart on Saturday EVER.
Oh and did I mention that I have to wipe his bum everytime he goes poo? And put anti-body cream on his long incisions around his bum? He managed to pull out two stitches, but the wound is closed and the vet said he wouldn't need to restitch it, it will just scar more this way, purely estetic problem. So I don't have to take him to Melbourne to have him resewn.
Happy note: I leave for Vacation on the 29th . YAY! Just a girls (Mom and I) trip to Ft. Lauderdale. I've been gone for two years now from there, I had to move up here for health reasons. Who knew I would get married and never go back?? The reason I know I'm not going back, my husband wouldn't live anywhere but here and I don't think my mom would either. And I would be all alone with no blood relatives in the area. Which was cool in my 20's.....but those CRAZY days are behind me.. Look for my memoirs someday.. (after I write them)

How To Catch A Butterfly
All Things Sweet
Honey is confused. Most people who read this know when I saw Honey, I mean my husband. I know who I mean, but that's not what I call him in real life. In real life I am Honey. Among another nicknames that are just to sappy to list. So he was reading over my shoulder when I wrote the post about Babyfred kickstarting the vacum, and he said "wait a minute". Then read it again. He said "I'm Honey?". Yep. " I can't be Honey YOU are Honey" Well, you are here, on my blog. "Why?" Because, I'm not keen on Hubby, it rhymes with chubby. "But YOU are Honey" Not on my blog I'm not, got a better name to use? "I'm Daddy!" No, No you are not, that's what the kids (our pets) call you, not me.

Bulls On Parade
My feelings on 365 days is that it can be artistic, narcissistic, or self discovery (istic), or maybe a little of each. I have hundreds of shots I haven't put on Flickr and the ones I have are in the set "self-portraits". I usually like the expressions on my face or pose as they correspond with my ever changing moods, but this project isn't for everyone, I have totally been freaked out by how ugly I can appear on certain days. Maybe it's just my mood when I view them or maybe they really do look like mug shots. I don't take it seriously, so I just borrowed the concept and applied my own rules... It is what it is.. It's amazing how beautiful some of the shots when I'm in a dark mood can be, I find those much more interesting than the calm, cool, collected sane day pictures. Honey's fav picture of recent is from a dark set and he uses it as a desktop background.. I think the appeal is exotic, complicated, and a desire to find out what makes me tick... We were going through some of the old ones and he said Don't get me wrong but you look horrible in those pictures and you know I think you are the most beautiful girl in the world. I wasn't offended I was too busy staring at these pictures with the same look a person might look at a train wreck. Who in the hell is that? Is that really me? Is it the angle , the lighting, a vitamin deficiency? I don't know you, this is not the same person I see when I look in the mirror. Am I ugly or am I pretty? Or just a girl, any girl the kind you might not even see because she blends into the wall, and if you do notice her, do you think oops, bad genes for sure, poor thing. And you shudder and move on.
So instead of joining the 365 days officially, I'm a renegade 365 day'er. A sometimes pretty, sometimes grotesque yahoo with a camera and alot of time on my hands..and that's ok.

The Waiting Game
I'm trying to hang in there, but I really feel like I'm about to pass out from fear/anxiety.Anxiety attacks suck, but this might be worse.
Okay the vet's office just called we are up to $3467.00 which thank god, is not higher than the high end of the first estimate which was $4,755.00. She said if he comes home tomorrow we would even get a credit possibly..but either case $3467.00 is a bit easier to swallow. Okay I have to go to Orlando and get my barium for Wednesdays test. And hopefully Fletch comes home tomorrow so I can go get him and hang out with him all day, Zeus is going to have to be restrained from jumping all over him.

Get Well, Get Well Soon
My oldest baby went in for emergency surgery today. Fletch, our Beagle developed a hernia that his bladder poked into. The little guy is very brave and was in good spirits but had swelling that prompted us to take him in this morning. Our regular vet took some x-rays and confirmed what he thought it was and was nice enough to call another animal hospital that does specialty work and give them a run down on what they found, so Honey drove Fletch down to Melbourne as I haven't been feeling well either. The vet called us at about 8:00 tonight and said that the first attempt and less evasive attempt did not work (they tried to poke his bladder back out in hopes that it would stay out once the bladder was emptied), so Monday we have to go meet with the specialty surgeon. This comes at a rough time as I have had a busy month myself with Doctors, so far this year I have an ultrasound, bloodwork , two doctor's appointments and next Wed I have an MRI. So it's been crazy the last two weeks, the drive to and from Orlando gets old after awhile. My husband has the flu and can't seem to shake it and was home two days from work this week (He has never taken a sick day in years), he wanted to take time off with me for the MRI, but I assured him that they weren't going to give me any info that day and it's just like getting an ultrasound, painless except for the nasty barium junk you have to drink and a small pinch when they inject the contrast dye. Still, he's trying to convince me to take someone with me, but really I'm not up for spending two hours (an hour each way) in the car with a friend having to carry on a conversation.
The tricky part now is my Dr's and tests are in Orlando which is north and west, and Fletch is in Melbourne which is south. I was going to go pick up the barium on Monday in Orlando, but I have to go to Melbourne to meet with the surgeon in the morning. So I guess I will have to go to Orlando on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Honey will have to get Fletch if he is to come home on Tuesday or Wed.
And that is what's going on with me, what's up in your world? Please share, I need the diversion. First person to make me laugh wins 80 bajillion dollars.

Fake...Can You Tell The Difference?
One of these pictures I am not happy... I'm faking it. Which is which? This 365 days thing is hard. I must have taken 10 photos today, I hate them all.(Agggh! Delete! Delete!) One of these is from today and is the least grungy of those 10. I had to crop the toothpaste on my arm out..it's been there all day, luckily it was cooler today and I had a long sleeve shirt on.
It's been a busy day and everything on my mind was bleeding into the pictures and not in a good way.
But tonight we get Grey's Back , CSI is new and the OC is new. Yay!

No It's Not.
Doorknob is not my new glass one.
Babyfred making sure the wall is straight
Babyfred notes the missing wallpaper border.
This would be an ok shot if the ceiling vent was in.
It's not until I say so. (And Babyfred)
Finished that is.
We hung the big mirror up in the bathroom and put the new medicine cabnet in this afternoon. Honey says "Your bathroom is done". Um no, no it's not. "What?" We still have to put the border up. "No, we aren't putting it up" Yes, yes we are. And the towel bars, the toilet paper holder, the glass doorknobs, the new door stopper thingy, the ceiling vent cover and the over the tank shelves need to be put together last. So no we are soooooooooo not done. I haven't stripped the floor either. And I want a hook in the shower to hang a fern on. The border really has to go up it has the yellow that ties it all together..But really I think we have done a good job doing it ourselves and all for probably less than $500.00. Okay I really don't know how much it all adds up to, I just bought things along the way since it wasn't a weekend project. Here are the before Pics.

On Being Perfect
Fast forward a few years and you have managed to mostly survive, some wear and tear but mostly all of it is hidden inside . Not in the vault though, I have trusted confidants, a therapist and a psychaitrist. My family? Not so much, they saw enough when I was going through it. Which isn't to say they don't care, because they do alot. My husband? And here is the crux of the matter, my husband thinks I'm perfect. That's an idea I gave up about a decade or so ago. I can not be comfortable being perfect, I'm human. Anyone who thinks someone else is perfect is in for a let down eventually. Inevitable. Unavoidable, high probabilty and then what happens?

Sunday, Sunday
So anyway back to the detox diet, it's a good thing once you get the hang of it and ride out the first two weeks or so. He thinks I'm doing it mainly for weight reasons, I'm doing it per Doctors orders, so Tuesday will be my first report since before the Holidays. Mom said I could lose a another 5 lbs or so, Honey thinks I'm getting too skinny. My friend LaLa who is a skinny as a rail (think Lindsay L, The Olson Twins and Nicole Ritchie), thinks I look great, sexy and curvy. Yep, my badunkadunk butt and thighs are really
Why is so easy to be supercritical of yourself and so accepting of others? Oh right, I'm the one who has issues. I'd be the perfect candidate for throwing salt on MY own wounds, that is if I were allowed to eat salt.

School Bus Driver Stops At Quickie Mart
Leaving the House Is Always an Adventure Part II
Today as I'm leaving a quickie mart here in town, a school bus pulls up. I sit in my car and watch the bust, yep it's full of kids. Why in the world does a bus driver with a load of kids go to a quickie mart? Did she need a pack of smokes, a beer, maybe some condoms? Or maybe just an energy drink, you know a Red Bull, a Diet Rockstar, an Arizona Tea? I decide I have to find out what she was doing, was she going to get out? She stands up and then goes towards the back of the bus. Okay, so she pulled into the convenient store to tell the kids to behave, that makes sense. All of sudden a boy about 10 comes out of the bus and goes into the store, he goes straight up to the counter. Damn, I can't see what he is buying. He comes out with what looks like a credit card receipt and something small in hands. At this point, I just start my car and go, there wasn't any possible way to see what he was carrying back to the bus driver.
Maybe it's just me, but aren't bus drivers suppose to follow a route and not make stops that aren't on their schedule? Don't they have GPS units on the bus? How many parents would be concerned that their friendly bus driver is sending her kids into the quickie mart? WTF? If you read the previous post about a guy buying a "blunt" (cheap cigar) to fill with pot and used his fishing license as ID, you too will be wondering what the hell kind of town do I live in? Where the hell am I?
