This sounds like heaven

Now this sounds like heaven... human touch Massage Chairs. Anything that is supposed to feel like you're getting a massage by a massuese (Sp?) must be heaven, right??? Human Touch is the creator of the best products for foot massage and foot pain, and chairs for body massage for relaxation or sensual massage. Sensual massage??? Well, I don't know about that part, but either way, I'm sure the massage is great. The experience is supposed to combine the sensations of hands rapidly tapping on the back, gentle rolling, alternating strokes and relieving spinal pressure, and kneading to work out knots and ease soreness... hmmm... I got my husband a massage cushion for his back last christmas and he loves it, I can only imagine if I got him this chair! I think he would go crazy over it... that is, if he could get me out of it!

To the Dog and Cat

Dear Dogs and Cats,

The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other
dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in
the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming
your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the
slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me
to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall
faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about
this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your
comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It
is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the
fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and
having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but
sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by
some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not
necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under
the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door
I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine or
feline attendance is not required.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I
cannot stress this enough!



To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our
front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the
furniture (that's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter
who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less.
2. Don't ask for money all the time.
3 Are easier to train.
4. Normally come when called.
5. Never ask to drive the car.
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends.
7. Don't smoke or drink.
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions.
9. Don't want to wear your clothes.
10. Don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.

And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Thank you for confirming it...

My real rank has officially dropped back down to 0 and my other blog jumped back up to 2179. Guess there was just some random thing that freaked something out. Although, the 0 ranking is still confusing, I think it should probably be N/A. Unless there is someone out there reading this.... are you???

Christmas shopping

One of the things that I've learned since I got engaged to my now husband is that he is one of the easiest people in the world to shop for. Seriously, he loves everything and it cracks me up. Shortly after we got engaged, he had to have sunglasses, and now with our skylight in our new house (it's hard to explain but the way the room is set up you have the perfect view of the moon and it's a low ceiling due to a vault) so now he wants a telescope, go figure. So I've been checking out opticsplanet.com lately to see if they have anything in our price range. Best of all, they have free shipping which is always a plus when shopping on the internet. Who knows, maybe the hubby may get lucky this year and get the telescope....

The flu

Let me tell everyone something... if you haven't gotten your flu shot yet, go get it. NOW! Seriously! I had mine over a month ago and I'm happy I did, you wanna know why? Because right now the hubby is laying on the couch with the bug. Ick! Want to know the worst part about it? His FREE flu shot voucher from work is hanging on the fridge collecting dust. It's been there for almost a month. Think he's regretting not having gotten it yet??? Yup, I agree.

Is this blog seriously being read???

out of my blogs, I was amazed to find out that my ranking on this blog has shot up from n/a on pay-per-post to 3895... WTF? My other blog is ranked 2590 and I thought a lot more people read that one than the difference between the two numbers. If someone is out there reading this.. please respond. I'd like to know who actually reads my blogs... I mean other than the person who posts comments in a language I don't understand and the junk commenters... it would be nice to know that people are actually reading this. Maybe I'd make more of an effort on this one if I knew that were true...

Putting on the pounds

With the holidays here, I'm not exactly thrilled about the prospect of putting on more weight, particurally when I already have a few more pounds than I would like to have. However, I thankfully am not in the position where I need to worry too much, just need a little more exercise. Whenever I think of weightloss though, I can't help but think about and admire one of my cousins who has lost a lot of weight. She did it with a lot of hardwork, however, there are so many people out there that were as overweight as she was (she looks fantastic now!) that can't seem to lose the weight regardless. I think if I was in that situation, I'd be really interested in surgeries such as the lap band surgeon which helps reduce food intake. "The LAPBAND Adjustable Gastric Band is designed to help you lose excess body weight, improve weight-related health conditions and enhance quality of life. It reduces the stomach capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time." Hmm... interesting. Although I'm not in need of it, I'm interested to read more about it and hear from people who have done this. If you know of any sites that talk about this, let me know!

Puppy update

The puppy is doing really well but has evidently stopped growing as of hitting 3 lbs. Cute as ever though. Although, I think the Mr. would say otherwise at 3 am when she starts barking. Yup, you read that right... 3 am... yuck! It seems we spoiled her over the long thanksgiving weekend because the Mr. would take her out in the morning to go to the bathroom, and when they'd come back in, he'd put her in bed with us to sleep in. Turns out, she has figured out how great this is and wants to do it more often. Or better yet, I think she'd prefer to not have to sleep in her own bed at all! Oh well, what can you do? At least she does quite well when she is in our bed....

Confession

No, I'm not referring to THAT kind of confession, I'm referring to YOU confessing about something really bad that you did. So fess up. I know everyone has done something bad at some point in their lives (no I'm not confessing anything here!), but if you go over and visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site you'll be able to confess there, no remorse needed. Sounds evil, doesn't it? Well, this could be the perfect oppurtunity to get whatever is on chest off and vent a little, or to just brag about what evil doing you have done. You have the oppurtunity to just write what you did, or if you are feeling particularly evil, you can videotape it and post it for all to see. Then once you're done confessing your sins, you need to go visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace which is all about Johnny Depps new movie about a man wrongly sent to prison vowing revenge. Sounds wickedly good, and with Johnny Depp, who can resist? Either way, be sure to post your confessions, on the Sweeney Todd official site... and of course don't forget to post it here as well. Or if you're too afraid to post it there, here will do just fine. So what is your deepest darkest secret? What sort of revenge did you pull???

2 week countdown

Thank goodness, we are officially in the last 2 weeks of school... whoo-hoo! Even better, this week is half over so I technically only have a week and a half, including my one day of finals. Yup, only one day since both classes have their final on the same day. Now if I can just survive through my class project and presentation, 3 homework assignments, 3 quizzes and the finals, I'll be good to go. Luckily I already have 2 of the classes projects done so at least that's out of the way!
