Ooops - the cat address

Sorry about that - I guess that is what "preview" is for!

If you ever need a laugh.....

I just wanted to share two of my favorite sites. One is for those who would prefer to join with cats and laugh, and the other is for those dog lovers that sometimes have had a tough day and need to laugh about nothing of substance.
I would recommend that you bookmark them. I emailed the "Wroom Dog" site master when the site went down and he or she was absolutely gracious about making sure that I could access "Wroom." Later, due to popular demand "Wroom" was put back up, and I couldn't be happier.
Again, they are both silly, but on those days when you just know that you could use a laugh, these two sites will hopefully do the trick.

Stars, Moms and Guardian Angels





Hello my sisters,

I know today we're thinking of some very special Welsh ladies. So tonight look up and see if you can find the Northern Crown. I am also hoping that our little intrepid astronomers (from Alex - not so little- to Grace - still so little) will have fun finding them in the sky for many years to come.

The link goes to a column from our local paper. I wrote to him in 2004 when I knew Mom's star was going to be in the Corona Borealis, and he published this in response. I found it amazing that now that my other mother's star is also in the Crown, he republished it.

So tonight look to the east and know that we have some lovely and very powerful guardian angels who love us very much. I hope that for you, as it does for me, it will bring a smile and some comfort to you all.

Much love,
ELC

What Is Up With This Tortoise?!?

This is both hilarious and bizarre! Is the tortoise playing? I don't know. The cat seems to think so, at first. Then he goes after the white cat and its like he took him in the alley to mess him up!

IRREVELENT!

OK, ELC and I have returned from Charm City and, as expected, it was an epic journey. Here are some highlights.

The post title refers to what Beth said to me when I started to talk about one of the apartments that I had already decided against.

Dropping the cell phone under my car seat and discussing for MANY miles how to retrieve it (but finally deciding just to leave it there.)

"We're STILL in Pennsylvania!" This was one of MANY comments that I made about our SLOW progress driving south.

Also on the drive down Beth commented on a truck that had coolers and containers on the back and she worried that they might contain "biodegradeable trash picked up by the health department." That boidegradeable trash IS a menace to our mother earth!

The weird hotel with the sensitive waitress. Now the last time I stayed there I thought the place had a very weird vibe, but I thought maybe it was just me. Now I have ELC as a witness. When we went to the hotel restaurant for dinner (where one other table was seated), Beth and I were laughing about something and the waitress, when she brought our drinks over, said, "I thought you were laughing at me." Well we weren't, but now we were.

The restaurant had two menus -- an expensive one and another one called "Light Fare" which I kept insisting on calling the "leisure" menu.

watching the Baltimore channel -- Laura: "I'm NOT wearing a crab hat!"



Happy cinco de mayo! We celebrated at the Mount Washington Tavern. It was good.

"Squitting" (my drunken contraction of "fitting a square peg into a round hole")

the surly bartender manager (I don't even know how to describe how he was surly, he just was!)

Happy Derby Day! We celebrated this at the hotel "bar" where we had mint juleps. Actually, I tried one but didn't like it so I ordered a mojito, which I think is the perfect marriage of cinco de mayo and the Kentucky Derby!

"put my drink on her tab." "but I don't even know you." When I went to the bar to order my mojito, I told the bartender to put my drink on her tab and I gestured to Beth. But the lady sitting next to where I was standing didn't see my gesture and thought I was trying to get HER to pay for my drinks. WA HA HA HA HA!!!

and although we shall NEVER speak of it -- the skin sleeve. AGGGGHHHHH!

This one's for you, ELC!

This from the Television Without Pity recap of last night's America's Next Top Model (the last line is the best!):

It's time for go-sees, Sydney style! The girls are sent off with a map, some addresses, and a cab. And, of course, a drop-dead deadline for being back to the agency where they started. Renee, Jaslene, and Natasha are generally impressive to the designers, while Dionne is impressive to me for the way she wrangles some free clothes. And then, there is Brittany. She seems to have a hard time actually finding her destinations, even when she's on the right street, and fails to impress even one of the designers. She tries to squeeze in one last go-see when, as any good student of ANTMs past could tell you, she should have hoofed it back to the agency, and when her cab driver fails to read her mind, she fails to make her deadline. And then, she goes ape-s__t. She cries, throws her portfolio, and uses almost continuous expletives to describe her cab driver, and the best part is that everyone who DID make it on time and is inside of the agency -- including the agency's director -- can totally hear her. Natasha was one minute late and also disqualified, but handles it all in style. Jaslene ends up winning the challenge, and she and Dionne get a bonus shoot at the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. The photo shoot for the week is two-fold: the girls have to pose in bathing suits with a male model first for a "soft/sexy" shoot that would appear in a women's magazine (photographed by Tyra), and then pose for a "just plain sexy/ho-style" shoot for a men's magazine. For the most part the girls do well, though Dionne gets a lot of criticism for looking mean. At judging, Jaslene, Natasha and Renee jump to the head of the pack. Dionne's struggles at the photo shoot put her in the bottom two. But though Brittany's photos are great, as usual, personality deficiency coupled with the fact that not one of the go-see designers said that they would book her puts her in the bottom two again, and she goes home. Luckily, tomorrow she won't even remember she was on the show at all.

See ya Brit!
