Well, I went to the chiropractor today. He told me I was easy to adjust and gave me 2 gold stars. (Not literally.) Then he told me about his next patient. "He's a skydiver. He's broken every bone in his body," he said in awe. He's terrified to adjust him for fear of breaking something else. I got to meet the skydiver, btw...he was waiting out front when I left. He looks a bit like Billy Crudup, with a slightly crazed look in his eye. Janeane Garofalo lives in the building where my chiro has his office, though I have yet to see her. My chiro has seen her and says her dogs "are like ponies. They're bigger than she is!"

Speaking of animals, I'm into cats now. I still wouldn't want to be around them for long periods of time - I'm sure I'd get very allergic - but I saw Pars again today. His stomping grounds are on 26th Street. He had a pretty gray friend with him today and they both glided over to me and purred. When I tried to leave, Pars put his paw on my jean jacket! It was a cute gesture even though one of the threads came loose ;)

I also met a pack of pugs. I've seen them before. The owner explained that one was the ambassador, one was the "daddy" and one was the "shy one". The shy one was actually very friendly.

I'm seeing Madonna on July 3rd. I can't wait...la la la.

Too bad you are allergic to cats.

You would make a good pet mommy.

No allergies, right?

I love cats just for the simple fact that they will only accept you on THEIR terms. I think some people's personalities fit better with cats than with dogs and vice versa.

That would be hilarious to see Janeane being pulled along by her monster dogs. My hubby has always had a thing for her so he may be wanting to switch over to your chiro. :)

I hope Madonna is awesome and you get to hear everything you want.

A - but hairless animals are so...you know. Plus I think it's the dander that gets people.

R - thanks! I'm dying to hear "Burning Up" from her first album but I don't think she's going to go back that far :( But I can always hope. That's funny about Janeane...I will let you know if I see her ;)

I can't even imagine skydiving and even less after reading your post.

Congrats on the 2 gold stars! :-)

I'm also more of a dog person and have owned dogs before. I like cats, but can't imagine ever getting one. I really like dogs' dispositions - they always want to be by your side, etc.

Hehe...thanks ;) I've always preferred dogs too, but cats are starting to grow on me.

Perhaps I could give you my number to pass on to Janeane? I'm sure she'd be up for a slice of badger pie, she just hasn't met me yet...

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
