The Interesting Thing About Agnes...

I imagine, unless you are K, you have been wondering, "What the hell happened to this chick?"

"Did she fall in a well?"

"Did she and her husband decide to move to Cananada and become protectors of the polar bears?" (How could I do that unless I went up there with a bunch of industrial size freezers and AC units?)

"Was she attacked and killed by a pack of mutant wombats?"

Put yourself at ease. None of those wild outlandish things happened. This last month has just been insane and every time I have had a free moment I really lacked the desire to turn my laptop on. At work I have been utterly swamped, which is good because it means job security, but bad because it has been stressing me out. At home I have been adjusting to Collin's new schedule (which isn't too bad, I just miss him on the weekends), and have been occupying my time by visiting my family, cleaning and organizing, and reading.

Recently I picked up four new books by two of my favorite authors at The Book Bin here in Salem. I got a steal of a deal on Fool by Christopher Moore (hardback for ten dollars!) and I also picked up Coyote Blue (also by Mr. Moore) for six dollars. The other two books are Snuff and Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I am working on reading Snuff right now after reading the two Moore books. I love both of their writing styles because they are each twisted in their own special way.

... As for Agnes, what's interesting about her is she only has three legs! Not joking. This was something I heard on OnDemand under their "Pet Adoption" section... At the SW Washington Humane Society they had (or have) a three legged cat named Agnes, and they broke this to the potential adoptive families watching this thing on OnDemand exactly as above... Seriously, they couldn't come up with a better way to go about it? Maybe they could have tried, "Now we have Agnes. She is a four year old, three legged Maine Coon tabby. She is good with other cats.... blah blah..." Instead they made a big deal of it, announcing it and then holding her up so viewers could see that, yep, Agnes lacked a limb... Poor cat, how embarrassing... I wish I could have adopted her...

I think I mentioned in my last post (a month ago so I don't really remember... sometime I may have to go back and read some of the shit on here...) that Collin and I got an elliptical. I love it. Collin did an awesome job putting it together. I use it at least five times a week, and every time I do Spaz lays down somewhere near by and watches me with a "WTF are you doing?" look on her furry little face. I don't think she understands the concept, kind of like when I would workout before the elliptical, she'd think it was play time....

One of our neighbors moved out (the lady who had lived there for ten years. There is also a dude who has been there for twenty...) so Collin and I being the next longest residing tenants got the newly vacated garage! Go us! Now we can put all the totes with all of our crap (i.e. x-mas decorations and Halloween decorations) out in there instead of Collin's closet or the pantry. And the Christmas tree (which is back in its box) can have a home other than between the wall and the end of the sofa in the living room.... It is awesome. Now I just have to get used to parking the Blazer in there... I think I am going to try it from the other side tonight and see how well that works....

Hopefully now I will be getting back into this more because I really like telling my stories on here it's a good place to vent. Plus where else can I share some of my craziness without being locked away at the state hospital? Seriously.... If you know of a place let me know...

Peace Out to All the Faithful Homies!
