Evolution

I was eating a bowl of cereal last night and I got wondering... what is the history of cereal and milk? So while I partook I turned to my friend Google and asked it what it thought. Then my thoughts turned in a different direction and I realized that had I thought this same question 20 years ago... it would have taken a lot of time and dedication to find the answer.

I can remember as a small child I was brain washed taught that when I died and went to heaven, all of life's mysteries and questions would be answered. I couldn't wait to die so I would FINALLY know all the answers to all the questions I had ever wondered!

Then they invented Google.

And now they have this:

What's UUUP?

I woke up this morning for the first time in a long time feeling better than I have in several months.  There are reasons for this that I will not be going into here, but suffice it to say that things in the crazy household may be settling down to it's old boring and undramatic craziness.

Here's a quick update for the last few months:

It rained like heck the first part of July.  Now it's hot as heck with no rain in site. 

My daughter got a puppy, Rosie:

who is no longer a puppy!

And my son got a puppy, Lucy:

but she's still a puppy.

I got no puppies. All I have is my same old kitties. But I'm happy with my same old kitties and I think they are, too.

My parents have gotten into Geo-caching. With each of their last few trips my Dad has printed off locations close to where they would be staying. My mom is loving the freedom of her new and improved hip. I've been loving seeing her so happy and in no pain.

The city I work for is having a city wide disaster training day coming up the first of August. I've been knocking around the idea of going and helping out(yeah, I know, Ms. Unsociable is thinking about doing something with OTHER PEOPLE!)but the timing is going to be iffy for me for several reasons. I promise to let you know how it goes. Just a week or so to wait!

Somewhere in the mess that is my desk I have a camera battery that has needed charging for the last 6 months. I think I'll find that today and start taking pictures again. I feel random pictures are in order for future blog posts.

Spoiled

Cricket has become incredibly spoiled this past year. Not that every one of the others aren't, it's just that she's my sweetie.

I noticed this past Winter that when I would rinse out a dish, or for whatever reason had an occasion where I'd run the hot water,  that Cricket would patiently wait to the side (safely away from any and ALL running water) until I was done and she would immediately go in the sink and start lapping up the warm water. So she started to get a cup of warm water every morning. And she would drink it.

Now that it is hot and miserable, she'll take a large glass of ice water please and thank you, but only if it's filtered water. Cheating and using cold tap water doesn't work.

Double Rainbow All The Way

For those that have already seen this, the title alone will give away this video. If you have not, then you must, of course. Let me preface these videos with the following: I want to live where he does and smoke eat, er... I want to live where he does.
