Last night was a "Calgon take me away" kind of night. First the Dairy Queen screwed up my o so nutritional meal. Then the home computer was crashing as usual. I finally settled into writing around 8:30pm. I listen to my ipod entirely too loud and don't notice Brendella throwing up her just fed meal all over the living room. Finally I hear her right below my feet just as both my cell phone and the house phone are ringinig at once. I am shoving her out the door, the house phone is Dan telling me he is sick. Then I go looking around to find she also threw up in the bed...UGH! Bassetts are barfers too, be aware before you ever look at those sad eyes and fall in love with one at the pet store. (Not that the little Corgi hasn't killed my carpet) Dan says my anniversary gift is my new wood floor for the lodge room, I can't wait. I am so sick of shampooing the carpet. Oh boy, domestic bliss. I really never got very far last night as I kept running out side with Della. I was determined to get some writing down so I stayed up until 1am. I am suffering for it now. Little Terror is a song Matt Good wrote originally as a song about his dachshound so I dedicate it to my big girl hound Brendella...truly the definition of "Little Terror"
I was driving home from my hair appt last week and saw a billboard on McDowell for Cingular and itunes - it said "Talk INXS" Wow...if this works, they are the come back story of the year, of the last few years! The new CD with JD comes out a week from today. I haven't really heard "Pretty Vegas" here in town, only on BOB. I also caught a half hour of their videos on the request hour on VH1 Classic. They are playing requests people paid for to help Hurricane Katrina victims, so somebody must have purchased the half hours worth. (their label?) I know they are putting out yet another Hits video and CD collection. Unfortunately sucker complitists like me fall for that crap.
How about a list of things I am thankful for on this Thanksgiving week:
*My add a links bracelets, who else do you know that has Sloan and Eye Eye links on the same bracelet
*Internet radio- I live in my fantasy land everyday thanks to it.
*Chris Murphy's "She says what she means" opening bass line
*Guest Speakers for my classes, love the break from teaching every few weeks
*Green Apples
*Four Peaks lunches
*Tony Tony Toni! Phat Tony my oh so sensible Blaze station manager
*This song on the radio right now, produced by Dave Genn "Bang" by Armchair Cynics. Not my usual style of tune but the chorus is turn up good!
*The sound of Big Red, Dan fired her up over the weekend, that sound of open exhaust gets me every time. And shakes the photos off my hall wall-heehee
*Casa Grande folks - I love my Casa pals! Diane's boyfriend Seth won his class at the IHBA world finals this past weekend! I think there was divine intervention there, I can see Mom watching over Seth making sure he was safe!
*My Pro track champ Ryan - Ryan is so consistant in calling my cell weekly to keep me excited about drag racing even if I haven't been in my car in 2 months.
*KBM - She's always so patient to listen to all my rants, read them too. I liked how you tried to tempt me with your big screen TV and Sloan videos again.
*Ms Scotia - Now that she has email, I get daily reports from Mich. So in addition I am grateful for email so I can keep in touch with Nova and plan our trip to the source of her DJ name.
*My puppies, despite the carpets, I am lost without them.
*Patrick Pentland's "Everything I've done wrong" The words ring so true in my own life so often.
*Eye Eye on Switchback - Watched it Sunday night, Bill Wood was so amazing looking on that appearance...that show inspired one of my favorite scenes in "Bay Window"
*Sloan being on the radio right now...."Rest of my Life"
*The fact that I am in 80 degree weather most of the winter, it is a blessing..
*The great group of Village kids I ended up with.
*My Blaze Directors this year and a couple from last year (You know who you are)
*"Prophecy" - Remy Zero
*My basement office that allows for such total wastes of time like this ;)
*My sis in law Missy, the chances of the two of us being so close would not have been something anyone would have bet on. I have to be the oddest person she has ever met let along the fact I am closer to her mom's age than hers. And while I'm at it...Travis and Hunter too. If I had no Collins family, I'd have no family at all. Mom and Pop Collins too... Marriage doesn't always mean you are accepted to the family, but they have so my thanks is there.
*That hubby of mine who didn't want me to drive to the dunes by myself so is making the 3 hour drive back to Mesa to get me on Wednesday. He came up with a new name for my band in the novel because I have never been happy with Nome. God bless him for even understanding this bizarre need to write, his patience has been incredible. He would easily tell you that patience is not his strong suit. I love the fact that he trys to sing my favorite songs on Karaoke even though he doesn't know them. 6 years in a month, I am most thankful for my Daniel.
