Feels like a Sunday

I think it feels like Sunday to me because I made a big meal – Mom always made big meals on Sundays for everyone to enjoy.    I made roast, mashed potatoes and steamed peas.  It was awesome.  The gravy turned out so good that I’m actually saving the leftover, much to the chagrin of the [...]

Worms

Have I ever mentioned that I do not like worms? I hate them.  They are slimy, slithery things that make me want to gag.  I prefer snakes to worms any day of the week – snakes may slither but they generally aren’t slimy.   
Nothing ruins my walks with the dogs like worms.  I can’t relax and [...]

Hungry

I am rather hungry but my son isn’t answering his email.  I’m considering going into town and eating without him because I’m getting a hunger headache which is never fun.
Took the dogs to the dog park – we were there for an hour.  Several people remarked that mine were the most high-energy dogs in the [...]

Almost Caught Up Finally

Well, it took a bit but I am just about caught up on my word count for my story. I would have been caught up and passed the amount needed if the night hadn’t changed over to the 11th so now I’ve got more to write. However, I have the entire day today to get [...]

Down the Sidewalk

Didn’t leave work till 3:30 am so didn’t get home to walk the dogs till 3:50.  It is chilly out and quite windy again – one could easily get hypothermia out there tonight.
As the dogs and I walked along the dark part of the street, I noticed something big lumbering towards us in the shadows.  Both [...]

Burmese Pythons in Florida

UPDATE: Here is a picture of python recently caught in Florida.  This baby is HUGE! According to scientist, another breed of snake has also been released into the Everglades, the African Rock Snake which is a very aggressive species.  The government and scientists are afraid the two snakes, which have been known to breed in [...]

The Serengeti

Just finished watching the documentary “Africa, The Serengeti” which was, obviously, about the animals of the Serengeti.  I certainly hope I get a opprotunity to visit Africa before I die – it looks like a most beautiful but brutal place.  In the film it had some crocodiles that were humungus…I’ve seen them this big at [...]

Rescued Tiger in Malaysia

I know I harp on this a lot but it infuriates to the point of rage when people think they have a right to poach animals off refuges or anywhere.  This kind of thing needs to stop NOW before all our endangered species are no longer endangered but have moved to [...]

Mako Shark

Once again I find myself outraged over the sensless death of a beautiful creature by stupid men who think gaffing a shark from the safety of their boat is somehow “sport.” Sport would be getting in the water to gaff the shark – not safely hunting it from above. I think the quote from Jamie [...]

So Tired

I am so tired this morning.  Took the dogs out for a quick walk and ran into the maintenance man so he came on over to look at my exhaust fan.  It isn’t the switch so he will have to come back another day to change out the fan.  He knew I am tired and [...]
