because i can be an asshole to a guy with his girlfriend who first asks me if i have a drink i particularly like to make, and then i can stare blankly at him until he asks me for a fresh ginger drink and then i can tell him we don't have fresh ginger and then he asks for a total pussy drink on crushed ice and then i crush the ice and then i give him the drink with disdain. and then later at the end of the night the girlfriend comes up and asks if anyone has turned in her whip. |

I started writing again. Not by October 1st, my self-inflicted deadline, because of the sleepy sickness, but I did start tongiht. 2200 words.
It is a good start.
I finally feel calm again. |

Via Santaprudencia:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.

| Raccoon Trouble |
[Sep. 12th, 2008|01:47 pm] |
Ozzie got into a major scuffle with a damn raccoon over who actually owned the recycling bin last night at 11. We were too busy trying to get her leg to stop bleeding to notice that the damn scavenger had bit her in the ear, right along the edge, through the vein, and there was blood smeared all over the edge of the sofa. Now, $300 later, one work day missed (or modified to be done at home to oversee the potential vomiting from crazy antibiotics and pain pills) she is conked out from pills on her gigantic new dog bed.
Ozzie is so vindictive that even after we cleaned her up last night, she used her special paw-on-door technique to open the kitchen door and chase and fight with the raccoon again.
Damn dog.
Damn raccoon. |

| If Elly Could Give Me Any Wedding Present in the World . . . |

She would choreograph and perform a modern, interpretive dance to Leslie Hall's brilliant "Midwest Diva" at the wedding reception, in between the hot club jazz band's sets.
And it would be even more amazing as the interpretive dance in this movie:
That is all a bride can truly wish for. |

| Hound of the Gourmet Ghetto |
[May. 7th, 2008|10:52 pm] |
I just finished making my dog some rather gourmet pulled-from-the-cupboards dog food. Why? Because she has a lip infection, not something that I've been told by our dog walker (also a dog trainer, but not for the lovely Oz)that it's probably not worth seeing the vet about yet. It should heal on its own. I also made a mi of distilled water and tea tree oil that she's going to get sprayed on her lip later tonight, but shh, don't tell her that. We've been giving her soft food to aid in the healing, but just ran out of the expensive bought food tonight.
Here's the recipe:
Gourmet Ghetto Dog Food
1 large ham hock
barley
cod liver oil
wheat germ
canned vegetables
rice
frozen berries
1. Boil ham hock. Cut ham off the bone, cube, and put in pot with barley.
2. Boil barley; add wheat germ and rice.
3. Put bone in freezer for dog treat later on.
4. Add veggies and berries and cod liver oil.
5. Refrigerate and freeze extra if needed.
I hate it when there's something wrong with her. She's fine but for her lip.
In other news I went to sitting meditation with Barbara last night. It was kind of amazing. |

| Anyone Want to Have a Work Day (Trying Again) |
[Jan. 24th, 2008|09:11 am] |
I am at home. It is boring. I'm not going back into the office until Monday. Peter has a city council meeting tonight until 10. My sister has my car. My bruise is almost gone.
Would any LJers want to stop by and have a work day? Also, if you have an exercise ball we could do my exercise ball DVD.
How could you possibly resist these offers?
Um...also....I have coffee...and milk and cream. And fresh pineapple! Yes!
Last night I made this yummy carrot/rutabega mash to go with our sauteed kale and baked pork chops. It is so yum. Also, it has a v. low glycemic index so I can take less insulin. Actually my b.s., even with dinner, went a little low due to too few carbs. Anyway, to make this mash you steam/boil about 4-5 carrots cut in chunks and 1 medium rutabega cut in chunks (for 2 ppl with enough leftover for lunch the next day). Then drain most of the water, add a little Earth Balance fake butter, generous amounts of pepper and some salt, and mash the heck out of it.
It is delish winter warm. Even P-dog liked it. |
