A quick post before I go home- I'll get as far as I can and then pick up where I left off tomorrow.
Melissa- I sent the pix- let me know if you don't get the email. I think those dreams have a lot to do with being overwhelmed. What lifelike & (dang, I had the word & now I've forgotten it....) visual maybe? dreams those are!! I'm so sorry to hear about Bree- I'll keep her and ya'll in my prayers. It really is hard- they are a member of the family and it's next to impossible to not feel a loss. It's supposed to be cooler here today, there's some wind at least, so that always helps. Work is getting better....still don't trust anybody here at work, but at least it's 2 days & no drama. Good chatting with you today (even if I couldn't for long).
Sherry- A 13 hour trip is an excellent reason for getting a CD player in the car.:) We always plug the discman into the lighter when we go on trips. MUCH better than tapes. Girl, you hit the nail *right* on the head when you said that you want to rescue all the cats & dogs- Kevin went to pick out Maggie 'cause it's just too heartwrenching for me to go in there. I can't even think about it for long otherwise I obsess about it and feel very very sad. I think I'm twisted- I feel more sorry for the animals than I do for the homeless. LOL- my cat sees the cat carrier (an open top box type) and she jumps in. She *loves* boxes. She hasn't *quite* made that connection yet that the box=vet. Good luck with the kitten!!! : )
Jayel- Know what you mean about the media- the local media here always seems so negative about Iraq. I think a lot has to do with them being heavily liberal and anti-war so all they can be is negative about it and point out how bad things still are. I think someone needs to remind them that Bush never promised an overnight success. It's a work in progress and will continue to be for as long as it takes. We're very fortunate to have Fox to give us the "silver lining". I saw Jane on Fox & Friends this morning- I was surprised! I think she prolly does do better with Shep than Brian & Steve. Did you see the falling goat thing??? I've heard of that before, but I was seriously ROFLMAO!! As always, thanks for the rating updates- I love those! :)
Leslie! Good to see you back & "reporting". I'm sorry to hear about Sarah and the emotional strain it's put on you- my thoughts are with you. Those possible side effects are scary, to say the least. I'll be sending LOADS of positive vibes and thoughts your way!! **GROUP HUG TIME AGAIN**!! I think you're right about what you said: "You read some of the horror stories with adopted kids and foster kids, and wonder if it isn't easier to get a kid than a pet." I think that's right up there with Nan's realization that if she had a daughter, she could get an abortion without her knowledge, yet her son has to have her present to get blood drawn. *shakes head* Nothing makes much sense anymore. I saw you on IM, but was trying to get through some stuff- I chatted briefly with Melissa during lunch. I have astigmatism, but it's not the lasik-fixable kind. I have keratoconus (sp?)- my corneas are cone shaped. I've had lazy eye in my right eye since I was 3, and have worn glasses since. I can see without them up close (really up close) but far away, I'm hopeless. The hard lenses work much better for my distance vision than the soft lenses, so I'm hoping I can adapt. Nah, don't feel guilty!! My eyes seem really dry too- I think it's allergies, but I'm not sure. I always have to make sure my eyes are good & ready before I put either sets of contacts in. LMAO about "ShepLite"- very true. MMMMM.....pumpkin bread with cream cheese frosting.....I'll be right over.
