Nothing new

Not much new in my life but a few new credit cards and a hang nail.

I am 99% finished with my Christmas shopping (Scott thinks I am crazy, and so will Pete). I just have to get Scott's sister and her husband something and I am all done, which I may do tonight, I am not sure. I can't tell you what a relief it is to be done Christmas shopping in October. I will never have to set foot in the mall all season!!!! I just have to remember now that I am done shopping and not to buy any more presents for anyone. I am really only guilty of doing this for my sister and Scott. Both whom I prob spend the most money on. One, cause I love Scott so much, and 2. cause my sister is so easy to shop for.

Mary at work quit. So I am Interim Social Event Coordinator, until they find a replacement. Seriously put a damper on my Halloween Party plans scheduled for the 22nd. Bastards, I told my friends I would be unable to participate if they moved it up a week. I have one more wedding left for the season on the 22nd. Should go nice and smooth. Then I have an auction and then on to holiday party season. Which should be interesting.

Scott had sinus surgery again yesterday. He is at home nursing some very nice black eyes and a swollen face. They removed a polyp, some scar tissue, and fully connected his drainage to his throat. No wonder he gets all stuffed up so fast. My assistant chef recommended Yoga to Scott to increasing his breathing through his nose to keep it clear.

My kitty Daisy keeps pooping outside her litter box on the floor. It is clean, cause she keeps pooping on the outside, so I have to figure out what is pissing her off so she will start using the box again. At least she isn’t pooping in my clothes or on my bed, she poops in the laundry room in corners I cannot reach. (little bitch)

I bought Buffy Season's 1-7. I should put them and my treadmill to good use and use them together. Makes the exercising go by much faster. Scott hasn’t noticed yet that I bought the entire collection. Once the drugs wear off, he may figure it out.

Girls like boys with skills

Digital Camera

I finally ordered a digital camera. I was afraid to buy one because I didn't want to loose the right to have hard copy pictures; but an incident this week taught me my lesson.

I finally took in film from last summer, yes, LAST summer (2004) to be developed. I had this film so long, I had even passed the "Develop by" date. I also learned why they have a "develop by" date. So I got pictures back from two weddings, a camping trip, a tailgating adventure, and photos of my cats broken leg. All of course taken with 800 speed film and they should have come out crystal clear. Did they? NO. I had passed the "develop by" date.

I also came to the conclusion that when I have my mom's digital camera I take pictures, download and order prints all right away. So... I bought a digital camera. A red Cannon PowerShot SD20 Digital Camera.

Ticketmaster Hell

I am now officially banned from purchasing any tickets to any events I wish to attend. Why? Cause every time I do, I mess something up.

First I went to a concert on the wrong day, then I bought 1 ticket on Ebay instead of 2 to a concert in Chicago, and now... I have bought tickets to something when I had a prior engagement. I suck. I should have learned before and just listened to Scott - who was right. Yes Scott, you were right dear, I should have listened to you. I swear on a stack of bibles that I will listen to you in all manners concerning purchasing tickets of any kind (concert, events, airplane, etc...) from this day on.

Today's Shameless Plug: Oktoberfest 2005, Friday September 30, 7-10 pm @ http://www.genoawoods.com/ By tickets from me!!! $35 Hot off the press! Get them NOW!

Seattle man dies after sex with horse

Seattle man dies after sex with horse Police say death was accidental, investigate farm on cruelty suspicions

SEATTLE - A Seattle man died after engaging in anal sex with a horse at a farm suspected of being a gathering place for people seeking to have sex with livestock, police said Friday.The horse involved in the incident was not harmed, and an autopsy of the unnamed man concluded that “the manner of death was accidental ... due to perforation of the colon,” a police spokesman said.

“The information that we have is that people would find this place via chat rooms on the Web,” said Sgt. John Urquhart of the King County Sheriff’s Department.

Although sex with animals is not illegal in Washington state, Urquhart said that investigators were looking into whether the farm, located in Enumclaw, 40 miles southeast of Seattle, allowed sex with smaller animals that resulted in animal cruelty, which is a crime.

“If you’re talking about sheep or goats, there could be some issues,” Urquhart said.

Enumclaw-area animal-sex case investigated
By Jennifer SullivanSeattle Times staff reporter

King County sheriff's detectives are investigating the owners of an Enumclaw-area farm after a Seattle man died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse boarded on the property.
Investigators first learned of the farm after the man died at Enumclaw Community Hospital July 2. The county Medical Examiner's Office ruled that the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse.

A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car that dropped the man off at the hospital, which led detectives to the farm and other people involved, said sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.

Deputies don't believe a crime occurred because bestiality is not illegal in Washington state and the horse was uninjured, said Urquhart.

But because investigators found chickens, goats and sheep on the property, they are looking into whether animal cruelty — which is a crime — was committed by having sex with these smaller, weaker animals, he said.

The farm was talked about in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people looking to have sex with livestock, he said.

"A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," said Urquhart.
The Humane Society of the United States intends to use the case during the next state legislative session as an example of why sex with animals should be outlawed in Washington, said Bob Reder, a Humane Society regional director in Seattle.

"This and a few other cases that we have will allow us a platform to talk about sex abuse of animals," Reder said.

Thirty-three states ban sex with animals, he said.

Susan Michaels, co-founder of local animal-rights organization Pasado's Safe Haven, said she has been fighting to have bestiality made illegal. "It's animal cruelty behind closed doors," Michaels said.

One Year Anniversary

Wow! My blog will be up for one year on Friday. I can't believe I have been writing about my life and thoughts for a year now. We have been through lots this last year. A blogger stalker, my cat's broken leg, a new kitty, a new baby, a new job, and life in general. The year has been very good to me and I am looking forward to the next year.

Things to do in the next year:

• Launch my new position at Genoa Woods as the Special Event's Coordinator for Legendary Events.
• Finish my Master's Degree
• Lanuch a new part time career (possibly)
• Take a REAL vacation - traveling to Eurpoe (hopefully - if not Epcot at Disney World will have to do!)
• Become a Legendary party planner for Livingston County!

I'll save getting married for 2007 :o)

My new outfit

** Oktoberfest Beer Tasting - Friday Spetember 30th **

I love Scotch

"I love Scotch, Scotch, Scotch, Scotch."

Well not really, but I had to quote Ron Burgundy, San Diego Anchorman legend.

What Shannon would say is "I love rum, rum, rum, rum" then I can be stranded on an island with Johnny Depp and drink all the stolen Caribbean rum I want. Scott and I ended up going out with some friends last minute last night and had a WONDERFUL time! (Thanks Pete & Brian) We spent the night drinking, and picking out "tossers", "wankers", and sluts; and a wonderful time was had by all :o) Well maybe except for Erin who isn’t into girl watching as much as the rest of us are ;o) I also saw my first "Monet" last night (really pretty looking from far away, but when you get close things aren't really what they seemed). Which was depressing because I have admired this particular bartender from afar for a while now and to see her up close last night was slightly disappointing.

Oh well... Mark on your calendars: 1st Annual Oktoberfest Beer Tasting on September 24! $30 / person. Details to follow!

RE: Airport Security

Dear Sirs,

I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings, and at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.

Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers. Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again in hopes of seeing a naked woman. Hijackings would end and the airline industry would have record sales.

Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

Captains Log 072005

Lots of things going on in the world today. Many of which I really don't have an opinion over, my friend John Thorpe however does, so check out his blog this week. He has had some good posts this last month. Check out the sheep and the Letter from London to the Terrorists. http://johnthorpe.blogspot.com/

I was one of the 6.9 million people in the USA to purchase Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince this weekend. Actually, I pre-ordered mine in December and avoided all the lines unlike my Aunt who is actually bragging about what number in line she was to get her book at midnight. Sorry Denise, I did the smart thing and PRE-ORDERED mine and it was hand delivered right to my door on Saturday. No lines, no screaming kids, just me and Harry all weekend long. I have not finished yet. I am pacing myself cause who knows when the next one will come out. The Goblet of Fire comes out in November. It should be an awesome movie! http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/gobletoffire/index.html

Scotty from Star Trek died today from pneumonia and he also had Alzheimer's disease. Very said. http://entertainment.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=196936

I think that is it. Nothing to write home about, just a bunch of little tid-bits in life.

Have a fabulous day!

ooohhhh yeah.... bow bow... chick-chick-chicka... mmmm...bow bow... chick-chick-chicka...  

oooh-ka-la-ka-he-key... comonna-wanna-lay-ya.... 

Jeni at Pub Crawl... I talked her into wearing a coconut bra :o) 

New Job

Well I have been at Genoa Woods for six months and I already have a new job. I have been "promoted" to Special Events Coordinator. I have been officially deemed "the party girl" and now I am getting paid for it. My main objective is to organize public events for Genoa Woods, market them, and fill the seats. My first event will be a New Year's Eve party with all the trimmings. Hopefully I may be able to squeeze in a beer tasting event in October for Oktoberfest, but who knows. Right after New Year's I will be in full swing for our annual Valentines Day Dinner and then on to other events. Hopefully I will be able to make a living at this cause right now it looks like I might lose salary in December. If I can't I think I will start hosting "Slumber Parties" and sell adult novelties and enhancements. My girlfriend does it and makes a KILLING!

Anywho...

Scott and I have been in our condo for one year now! We moved in 4th of July last year. I can't believe it has been a year already! I guess it is time to start thinking about home improvements now that we have broken it in.

The cat's are doing fine. Duke is still licking himself bald and scratching up places. The lime dip treatment seems to be helping, but maybe he has a OCD or something and needs some kitty Prozac or something. Daisy is getting bigger every day and is finally starting to find her personality.

I think that is about it. Nothing wise or witty to say I am afraid. Have a great day everyone!

Blah

I don't know what to say these days. Things have been busy and boring. School, work, weddings, being broke (won't be for long though). Same ol' shit different day.

I did have a few enlightening thoughts the other day I thought I may spend some time reflecting on. One was when I ran into a friend of mine a few years ago, someone I use to be involved with a youth group/bible study with and he looked up and me and asked me "Do you miss him?". It is a pretty emotional topic I think, which is maybe why I haven't written about it cause it would take some strength out of me. I think I will in a few days though. The other was one of philosophical basis. What if I don't reproduce? And by choosing not to reproduce, have I now altered history in some way? What if my child is of some significance to the world and the world doesn't change because I chose not to have children?

I know... deep thoughts....

anywho... just thought I would post a little something today since I know Jerri and Pete stare at my blog everyday waiting for things to change.

Duke and Daisy are doing good. DAISY IS GETTING SOOOO BIG!!!! and her eyes are now green. Oh and we started Duke on a Sulfur-Lime dip treatment for his aliments. Seems to be working.
