What day is it?

Let me admit that I am an idiot.

I got up at dark thirty this morning, got showered and dressed, and I went to work. The only problem was that I wasn't scheduled to work today.

At least it wasn't the other way around.

Is a regular schedule too much to ask for? The answer is YES.

Bass Lake, CA

I went to visit my dad and his wife at their cabin in Bass Lake. This picture was taken from the dock, and as you can see from the picture, the water was extremely low.

My Aunt took care of my cat while I was away, and although I still worried, I had a really nice time!

Too bad the weather didn't cooperate.

I will have to make the drive up the hill more often.

Let them eat cake!

My boss gave me a birthday cake yesterday, and she said some extremely nice things to me. Both came as quite a surprise! Wow!

Baby Opossum.

Great. I just saw a baby opossum (about the same size as in this picture) in my backyard. The problem is that my neighbor's cat J. J. saw him, too. I picked up the cat and put him in the front yard, but after that I couldn't find the baby. A phone call to the local wildlife rehab resulted in no answer. I sure hope that he survives.

Find beauty in everything.

I saw this coin-op kiddie horse outside a grocery store in Clovis today, and I think it's quite beautiful. It needs a new paint job, and you can tell the previous one was extremely sloppy. (See the purple spray paint on the halter.) What a difference between this horse and the ones on most carousels! But even so, I love it.

Go Grizzlies!

Well, the world didn't end yesterday, so my Aunt Carla and Uncle Bob took me to another Fresno Grizzlies baseball game last night, and it was the most exciting one so far.
 
I got bitched at by a crabby lady in the stands.

I saw another lady get hit in the head by a foul ball, and there was lots of blood and first aid, and then eventually paramedics took her away.

There were at least four bats broken during the game, and another one was tossed into the crowd by accident.

An argument broke out between the two teams, and all the players rushed out onto the field.

And, last but not least, I ALMOST dropped my hot dog. 

What a great night!

Thank you Aunt C and Uncle B for taking me, and thanks so much for the Peanuts birthday books!

Happy Rapture!

I know that saying "Happy Rapture" is redundant, but I just couldn't help myself. The world ends tomorrow so I thought I'd better get a post out now.

I had the strangest dream last night. There was a giant earthquake, and I survived. I also ended up saving 13 kittens. Well, this, as you may know, is both Heaven and Hell for me. Heaven because, well, there's 13 kittens! And Hell because I knew I'd have to try to find homes for them, and that's just completely impossible. 

Now, I know why I'm dreaming about kittens, and that's because I've been obsessed with kittens for a while now. I swear I've never had a biological clock tick in all my life, but my desire for kittens is making me crazy. But why 13 of them? And why did I dream about an earthquake?

Maybe the world is going to end tomorrow, and I'm having a premonition. Damn! I knew I should have waited to pay that water bill!

Nah, just joking. I didn't take all my money out of the bank on December 31, 1999 either.

Have a good weekend!

Yellow teeth? Congested? Head on over to my store.

I spoiled a shoplifter's good time yesterday. I spotted a man transferring huge amounts of Crest White Strips and Mucinex D (both products over $25) from the aisles in front of the pharmacy to a more private spot over by the bathrobes and body powder where he could put them in his various pockets.

When I surprised him, which was purely by accident on my part, he panicked and ran. We did, however, manage to get his license number.

You may wonder why thieves would take so much expensive product. Well, it's because our store will give you credit for anything if you don't have a receipt. And if you were wondering, good for you because you're probably the honest sort. So, if you're shopping, and you see products where they really don't belong, you'll know what's really going on.

2011 - 1964 = 47

2011 minus 1964 equals 47. I actually had to use a calculator to figure out how old I am. The picture shows what kind of day I'm having. *Big Smile*

It's that time.

My property management company makes me feel like a criminal. Whatever happened to customer service? They forget that I am the one paying them, I think. They also don't know that I used to be in the property management business, and I know exactly how they operate. It's not nice to be on this end of things. I believe it's time to really start looking for another place to live.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

I keep looking for one of these...

This is my mom, Glenna.

I have the best mom EVER! She knows I feel this way because I tell her quite often. This Mother's Day I sent her chocolate covered strawberries and a card asking her for "Glenna lessons" because I want to be more like her.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Lose a turn!

I went bowling today with my Aunt Carla and Uncle Bob. It's been a while since I went last, but I managed to get over 100 in both games, so I'm good with it. We usually yell, "lose a turn!" when one of us gets a strike.

I meant to take a picture while I was there, but I forgot, so here's a picture of my equipment instead.

Yes, I like purple.
