So Cute!!!

Here's some a video of nodding cats. It's great!

Gobble Gobble Gobble!!!

I was driving home from a friend's house this morning. I had the windows rolled down, blasting music, having a good ol' time. Up ahead of me everybody is breaking and slowing down to about 30mph (in a 45) because there was a police officer nearby. The officer gets in the turning lane, and I, being sick of stupid people do a zig-zag around them about 5mph over the speed limit. I'm thinking 'Hey, it's just a cop, no need to freak out. And he's turning left anyways.'

Next thing I know, the officer gets out of the turning lane and is behind me, and I'm like "shit!"

Then the blue lights.

Now I'm really like "SHIT!!"

I pull down a side street and am looking for my driver's license with no luck when all of a sudden two hands slam down on my door (where the window is rolled down) and I hear "Happy Thanksgiving!!!" It was my friend Charles who was on duty. I was like "OH MY GOD!! You scared the SH*T out of me!!" I got out of the car and gave him a hug and had a good laugh with him.

There is an upside to having cop friends but there are dangers too! Their pranks are almost heart attack inducing!!

Happy Turkey Day!!!

This can be found here on the Generator Blog.

This is a pretty neat link for me, here. It's about wartime baseball and it has my grandfather's bio. I'm so proud! Just thought I'd share.

I am shocked! I actually respect the people I work for! The last three bartending gigs I had were a nightmare because of faulty management. They were either paranoid drug addicts, drunks, backstabbers, and hopelessly stupid rednecks or all of the above. My new bosses are professional businessmen who recognize our hard work. It's great!

My six year old niece came up with what is (in my opinion) a brilliant Knock-Knock joke. My bro originally posted it here but I want to post it as well for my buddies to see. (I'm a proud auntie)


Knock Knock

Who's There?

Orange Squirt.

Orange Squirt who?

I said Orange Squirt. Are you deaf?





HaHa! I have the greatest niece!

I've been working so much that I wake myself up with bartender talk..."five red snappers" and "what are these?" and "what can I get ya." It then takes me a second or two to realize I'm actually in bed. Jeez...I can't wait til my day off. (note: the lack of 's' behind day)

I was just flipping through "A Literate Passion: Letters of Anais Nin and Henry Miller" Which I haven't quite finished yet. I found a passage that I underlined, which I just love and seems now more than ever to pertain to my life and state of mind. I'm not sure if I've brought this passage up before, but here goes...
Anais is saying to Henry

"It is true I create over and over again the same difficulties for myself in order to struggle over and over again to master them.......here *Allendy would answer: to continually struggle against the same problem and continually fail to dominate it brings a feeling of frustration and a kind of paralysis. What is necessary to life, to livingness, is to move on, in other words to move from one kind of problem to another.....The neurotic is obsessed woth one kind of problem. He cannot move on. Certainly there must be a great exultation to move on, not towards a stupid happiness (don't worry, that will never come to us) but towards other difficulties. The effect would be somewhat like that of travelling, of encountering new experiences, of expanding, whereas in the long run the effect of the persistent obsession with the old problem might be one of defeat, discouragement (not to speak of suicide etc.)"

*A psychotherapist she knew.

There are certain parts of my life where I need desperately to move on, but have been and am in that state of paralysis and I do feel defeated. I don't know how to move on in one area, but I do know some ways I can change. The change is scary and that's where my paralysis comes in. I'm going to work on it.
