Still a spinster, and I live alone with two cats. I would call myself a "crazy cat lady" but my saving grace is that I think technically you have to have at least 7 cats to be an official crazy cat lady...
Chick Music mostly, Dar Williams, Susan Werner, Eva Cassidy; also 80's tunes and the Alarm

It's over!
Today we celebrate another close of NaBloPoMo! I feel even more guilty this year than last- I really had crap content of my posts. I figure I do have some excuse with the trip to NJ to take care of my mom causing lots of stress and me trying not to bring too much negativity to this blog. I doubt I picked up any new readers this time around, but oh well!
I'm going to end on a happier post though :) Last night was a really nice time. I don't even remember what I posted because I was in such a hurry to make it in before midnight. So forgive me if I am repeating...
Last night was the class of '88's reunion. Now as you know if you read that far back, at first I had no intention to attend my own reunion, so it shocks me more than anyone that I actually went and crashed another year's reunion! Ok, so honestly, it wasn't really crashing... I guess nobody stepped up to plan their reunion so someone finally decided last minute to plan it. Because it was not way advance notice they did not have a good rsvp so they decided to open it up to other classes after 9pm. And because of reconnecting with and making new friendships both at my own reunion and through Facebook I decided to go with a friend from my class and check this one out.
We had a really nice time. It was a much more quiet evening than our own reunion, but it was still good. What else do you really do at one of these other than catch up with old friends? And that's what we did :) A good time was had by all!
A good time was also had by my kitties when I got home. My friend makes kitty catnip pillows and blankets and hooked my boys up with some and they have been crazy cute all night and all day. Little boy loves his as you can see in this pic!
So congrats to all of you who completed NaBloPoMo! I'll be seeing you again next year, and hopefully I won't suck then!
Oh and Eden, please give me a prize this year? Thanks! :)
So we went to crash the '88 reunion tonight (other classes were invited after 9 so it wasn't really crashing) and I didn't think I'd make it home in time to blog. Ok so I didn't I'm at a friend's house on the way home to get it in, and so short but sweet tonight! I'll post all about it tomorrow!
My most recent friend additions include a girl I was friends with back from my Brownie Girl Scout troop and the girl I was a nanny for right out of college who was 8 at the time.
Kelly, the Brownie friend moved away in like 2nd or 3rd grade but since our mom's were friends we still got together over the years, but probably never after junior high. I remember playing at her house...they had a disco album that had instructions to do different dances like "The Hustle" or "The Bus Stop". Good times were had by all! She's not married with a kid but she looks practically the same. And my favorite thing about her now? She said " I am definitely a cat lover and sometimes miss the days when it was just me and the cats! lol"
Nicole, the girl I was a nanny for is now a college graduate. Wow that makes me feel old! But I knew this girl was cool even then. I actually loved hanging out with her. She had a fabulous sense of humor. Sure, there were still the occasional 3rd grade type joke (How do you know when there's been an elephant in your fridge? footprints in the butter) but honestly for the most part this girl cracked me up. I also knew that she would do something interesting with her life... and she is. Her update: "i live in new zealand right now and am working on a hops farm and traveling with a boyfriend who has managed to tolerate me for the last 3 years. i have no real job and sounds like i won't have much luck finding one when i get home :( boo." How fun is that? She's got her degree in anthropology, but yeah, she probably is screwed to find a real job. Either way, I'm sad she's so far away, I'd love to see her again. From her pics she looks almost exactly the same but more gorgeous than ever.
I've also found a guy I had a crush on back in college and he looks great still and is actually single! Probably we'll barely ever chat, but you never know! :)
Ive said it before and I'll say it again...Facebook rawks!
Thank you is a great thing to say. But you know what else is great? Please. It really goes a long way. Ask me to do something nicely and I am so there for you. Tell me to do it and I will, begrudgingly, but with some latent hostility.
I think that this is probably a common thing that many younger sibs have to deal with, but you know, it sucks. It also sucks when you don't get the please, OR the thank you.
I really need to stop these misearable bitchy posts... I guess I need to stop being a miserable bitch then, eh?
And no, I'm not a pirate. I'm pissed off. I actually had a relatively happy post planned for tonight but suddenly I'm too cranky again to write it.
Why do some people feel the need to just be bitches for the sake of being a bitch? Honestly, I donut understand that. It just makes life sucky for everyone around.
And yet, this is what I am dealing with this evening. A selfish bitch.
Put that on top of the fact that my mom is still pretty miserable post-op makes for life to suck tonight.
No happy post here!
At least it's almost time for House, hopefully I'll be able to watch it :(
So I'm a very vivid dreamer. I also have these places that I visit often in my dreams. There are 2 different houses that as far as I know I have never been to in my real life, but I am there often in dreams. I really wonder, is it possible that I was there once and my subconscious remembers all of the details even though my conscious mind remembers none? Or could a previous life actually be a possibility? It's weird.
Then there are places that I know my mind has created even though they are not what I see them as. Recently I've had several dreams that took place in "Baltimore". Now I lived near there for several years, worked in the city, I know the place well enough to know that where I am going in my dreams is not the reality that is Baltimore, and yet, in my dreams I know it well and know that it is...I even went to an O's game- although it was not Camden Yards. It's so odd.
Then there are the people... I'm pretty sure everyone does this- where people morph- it starts out as someone but changed into someone else- or it's someone you "know" but it looks nothing like you know that person to look? It's so odd.
Last night my friend I had dinner with and I were discussing someone who tried to kiss me but I did not want to nor consider kissing back. Last night in my dream, I kissed him, but it wasn't him. This guy had his name, but looked and acted nothing like him, nor was the situation remotely similar to the one discussed or any I have ever been in with this guy. So who was this guy really? I know the dream stemmed from that conversation, or did it? Did just the name of this guy come from that conversation and it would have been the same dream but he would have been named something else?
I wish there was a way to video record my dreams so I could watch them when I was awake and maybe have a better clue about what happened, rather than just vague impressions upon waking.
But then again, that'd be skeery to think that anyone else could possibly monitor my dreams then. I like that those times are mine alone. And usually they rawk :)
So I've been going a bit stir crazy since I've been at my moms. And now I actually have plans with a friend! We're just going out for dinner, but I'm so happy about it! And the coolest part about it is that if it were not for Facebook, this would not be happening.
No, this isn't someone I met online- I've actually known her since the 4th grade. We were always friends, but never really tight after fourth grade- just hung with different people. Well now we have reconnected on Facebook and are becoming friends again. It's very cool. I think part of it is because she too is 5 cats shy of being a crazy cat lady. She's also "still single" and nobody could figure out why because she's so great. She gets me and I get her because of that.
The other night I needed to freak out about something I found out and she was online and so she was my "ear" for the evening. It wasn't like it was a problem that needed advise or solving, I just needed to babble for a bit. She got that. It was cool.
So now I need to figure out what to wear because most of my clothes have become too tight lately. That makes me sad. But leaving the house for something other than a doctor related event- that makes me happy! YAY!

Ok so here we go...
I think Ketchup is the most revolting food on earth and the thought of it makes me queasy.
I could never live in NJ again long term, but I am glad that I was raised there.
I absolutely hate when people tell me their dreams in details, and I always have to be careful not to do the same thing to others when I have a cool dream
I once met Bob from Sesame Street
I could eat cake for every meal- and usually do on my birthday
I love my birthstone- Garnets, and always always am wearing at least one
I have an extra bone in each of my hands
Ok Tagging
AJ at Cranial Vault- she blew me off for the last one, she better not this time! ;)

Broken Window by Jefferey Deavers (actually reading it right now)
Not my kitty, my Ringo prefers to walk around following our Roomba around and then freaks out when it turns in another direction. He then stalks it some more. Seamus, on the other hand, watches from on the back of the big chair, looking down from on high.
So it used to be that my biggest complaint about visiting my mom was that she smoked- a lot! Everything was stinky with smoke. But since the surgery she hasn't had a single cigarette! YAY MOM!!!!
So now I move on to the second biggest (or should I say smallest?) complaint!
When I stay here the bed in the spare room is a twin. Now I spent many years in twins back in college, and then in Arizona that was the bed I had. I had no problem fitting in that bed. Well the bed here has a memory foam topper that's too small for it- by about 4 inches on either side. So take a twin bed and lop off 8 inches and that's how narrow this one is.
Then take two kitties and add them to this bed. One kitty NEEDS to be on my left side, and needs to lay on his side stretched out. And make that kitty about 20 pounds. Then take the other kitty and make him lay RIGHT ON TOP OF ME, either on my hip or belly depending on if I'm on my side or back... if I try to move him, he then lays on the other side of me, pinning me under the blankets between the two kitties.
What does this get me? A very uncomfortable night's sleep.
So then add to this a kitty who thinks that 2am is a great time to get up and jump in the window and pull down the hem of the curtain and chew on the strings.
Add a different kitty who thinks 5am should be breakfast time and alternates between licking my nose and jumping up on things and trying to knock stuff over.
What does that get me? A very interrupted night's sleep.
And what does that mean? *YAWN*
I can't wait till we have our queen sized bed back!
So my mom is a huge Jeopardy fan. This week is the teen tournament. These kids are smarter than me. It sucks.
I do think I might have known these answers back in the day though. I'd like to think I did. But instead, I feel like the dad in that movie who's name I can't think of but when Freddy Prinze Jr made that girl into the prom queen? Ok so I just had to IMDB it because it was bugging me and it's "She's All That". There are several scenes where her dad is watching Jeopardy and just coming up with the most stoopid answers. Anyway, that's me right now.
Also stoopid because I was going to write something significant today and couldnt come up with anything. I suck. But at least I have not failed BloMo yet! :)
Every BloMo I get to this point- I have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say. Nothing. At all. And yet, I must post. I'm trying to come up with something somewhat interesting to write about but I can't think of a thing.
There are some things that I'd love to write about, they betray peoples confidence so I can't. There is the one difference between an online journal and a personal written one. But even still- once my personal journal was read by others back in college and it ruined that for me forever. So I guess I just have to keep all of those thoughts that I would normally write down in. Frustrating, but that's the way it is.
So today I have nothing to share. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be inspired :)
So Ringo Stu must have been an EMT in a former life. He is always the first on the scene of any health crisis. I've known this forever but recently my mom and sis have seen first hand...
The other day my sister stubbed her toe and yelped an OUCH! Ringo came a running!
Just before my mom was eating and something went down wrong and she started coughing up a storm- guess who came running to see if she needed the Kitty Hemilich?
Once he ascertains that his skills are not necessary he leaves though.
Seamus, on the other hand, puts himself on nursing duty. Last night he spent most of the night on the window seat but staring at my mom instead to make sure she was doing ok after her release from the hospital.
I feel content knowing that between the two of them, we are all safe and taken care of :)
So there was a time in my life that I LOVED Friday nights. I would actually have a life. I used to go out, go dancing, all softs of fun things.
Now, my favorite part about Friday nights is putting on my PJ's. And that is a very happy thing.
My mom came home today. This is great news! But it's tough because every time she looks up I'm all "what? what do you need? what can I get you?" and usually it's nothing, but often it's that she doesn't know what she wants and I just wish I could figure it out. I know in a few days it'll get better, but for now I'm on high alert.
Good thing my plan was to park my ass on the couch in my pj's anyway :)
So since I'm so exhausted and braindead and can't really write, I thought I'd steal a post from STACYVERB since it features my friend, Eager Beaver:
A get well soon message
No actual reporting today, just a quick shout-out to my friend Monica's mom, who had surgery today.
Since the patient is a huge fan of Eager Beaver, I asked Eager if he could take some time out of his busy schedule as an international jet-setter to send her some good wishes. Of course, being the gracious beaver that he is, he was happy to oblige. I hope this makes her smile!
So today was my mom's surgery. When we first arrived in the surgical waiting room there was an elderly woman volunteer who gave us the secret number that was associated with our mom, showed us how the airport-like screen tracked her progress and then gave us directions to the cafe in case we wanted to go. Well since we'd been at the hospital since 9 and they didnt take her back till 1 (even though she was scheduled at 11) we were a bit hungry.
So off to the cafe, had some lunch and came back. I was looking at the airport-like tracker and the volunteer woman said that I looked responsible and I was now in charge. She had me sit at her desk, told me when they call with updates to just yell it out to the waiting room. Um...ok.
So for 2 hours until the next volunteer arrived, I was the Surgical Waiting Room secretary. Number 7? Your person is in recovery. Number 35? Your person is being sent up to room blah blah. People asked me for information, and I would find it for them. I now know the recovery room phone number by heart. It was all very odd, but helpful. If I was really just supposed to be sitting there waiting I know I wouldn't have been able to focus on my book and would have just stressed out the whole time.
Anyway, the good news is that everything came out ok, and my mom is happily drugged on pain killers for the night. I am tuckered from waiting and stress and my hard job, and I have to get up pre-dawn to go back to the hospital so I'm signing off for the night. Thanks for any and all good thoughts sent our way.
This of course is what my sister asks me after I slept in till 11 and then took a nap from 2:30 till 4. The answer obviously, is yes.
It's very annoying to have narcolepsy without insurance. The meds I take cost about $80 a month without insurance, so I try to only take them when I need to, and not on the days when I have nothing I have to do. My mom's surgery isn't till tomorrow, so I took a med holiday today.
There are definite benefits to taking holidays too- it seems I don't build up the tolerance that I used to- less works as well now as the higher dose I was on back when I was consistently taking them. Also, when I don't take any meds, the days pass very quickly since I sleep through them ;)
I also had a really interesting dream during my nap. Before I went for it I watched the most recent episode of "How I Met Your Mother" online. Then when I napped, I had a dream that was actually an episode of this show, but I was also one of them. Very cool. :)
Well tomorrow I have to be awake for, so it's back on the meds for me, but for today it was a nice holiday.
So Kitties and I have arrived at my mom & sis's. Cousin Huckleberry loves when his cousin comes to visit. He will sit on the steps and yell HURROW? up the stairs if they are up there and he wants to play. He also yells it at my mom if she's cooking chicken. He's a very friendly cat :)
Seamus, on the other hand, the most placid kitty in the world everywhere else, isn't a huge fan of Huck. He for some reason pulls this alpha cat stuff when we arrive. Sweetest kitty in the world will block the stairs and not let Huck pass, slapping him if he tries. Bizarre, but amusing. Ringo, who has a tendency to be a punk, loves to play with Huck. They are adorable together. I guess it's a striped kitty bond?
Well I'm tuckered from my evening with the girls in Maryland and the drive today, so today is a short one :) We're ordering pizza for dinner tonight- there is NOTHING like a pie from NJ (except one from NY) and it's always my homecoming meal! YUM!
So I am splitting my drive to NJ into two days :) Today I'll be going up to Maryland to spend the night with my best friend and 3 nieces! I love these peoples more than I can put into words, and time with them is good for my soul! Here's their recent Halloween picture :)
Plus, I have all of my childhood books to give the girls. I hope they love them as much as I did.
And of course this means I need to pack a separate bag for just overnight ;)
So I'm packing for my trip to NJ tomorrow, or should I say OVERpacking for said trip?
I am overpacking somewhat on purpose- in case I get a gig for which I need to leave from NJ. But I'm also overpacking because I just can never decide what to bring or what I might need.
So far I have: A suitcase of scrubs A suitcase of both nicer clothes and nicer weather clothes, in case a gig brings me to warm weather A bag full of shoes- everything from boots to flip flops A suitcase full of way more clothes than I would ever need for my NJ visit. A suitcase that has all sorts of random stuff and toiletries that I want to bring A bag FULL of books A bag with a quasi winter coat and 2 fleece hoodies A bag full of cat necessities My laptop Oatmeal, my heart pillow, and a memory foam pillow A small cooler with some stuff in it The cats red kennel that they travel in 2 cat carriers 2 kitties :)
I think this is all I will be bringing. It better be! I haven't brought anything down to the car yet and I'm dreading that- plus I need to take out two bags of trash. In the meantime I'm loading my latest audiobook onto my ipod because my car CD player isn't working. The cats are happy that I am sitting still for a while to do this.
Now watch, I'll get called for an interview for that job I applied for and I'll end up only being up there a week...
So I just applied for a job, just not exactly sure what I applied for...
Every so often I check out local hospital websites to see if they have any openings. One did today. I think it's for a PRN job, which would be perfect for me to do along with traveling- I could work in between gigs and not give up the travel thing. But the job wasn't listed as PRN. It was listed as "Supplemental" I think that's the same thing, right? The only icky part was that it listed the hours as 5pm to 5am so it sounds like it's just a call job. Which I suppose I could happily do while not traveling. I was never a fan of call if I knew I had to get up the next day to work a full day, but I didn't mind it on the weekends. So for this gig, it would only be when I am not working, so it would be cool.
I don't know if they will even bother to call me though. We shall see :) If they do, it could change my visit up to NJ though...
I'm going up on Sunday because my mom is having that surgery after all on Wednesday. Unless I get a work gig, I will stay at least till Thanksgiving. But if they want me to interview for this, it could change that. We shall see.
Wish me luck that things work out that they should :)
2 days after the election, North Carolina was finally called for Obama and we are now a proud blue state! This is the state that had Jesse Helms and Liddy Dole for so very many years so this is truly a HUGE step forward in my opinion for this southern state :)
And this will be my last political post for the month :)
Ok so with all of this election stuff I never did do the intro thread that I like to do at the begining of NaBloPoMo so I figured I'd do a quick one now :)
Welcome to my blog! It's not the most exciting blog out there, but I like it here :) I have no real life so that leaves little to write about other than my cats, but if you have nothing better to do with your time I think it's a nice place to visit.
So who am I? Well, I'm a spinster travel Nuclear MedicineTechnologist living in the Triangle area of NC. I've been here about 4 years now, which is a long time for me. I've lived in many states since I grew up in Jersey. For now I'll be staying here, because I get the wanderlust out of my system with the travel gigs. It works for me :)
Well I was going to write more, but then I realized I still have 26 days to go so I'll leave some of the other exciting details of my life (like the fact that my thumb still hurts since I fell on my face (and obviously also my thumb) like a dork a few months ago) for another post :)
So please check out some of those links :) And then leave comments. I love comments. A lot. A WHOLE LOT. (hint, hint!)
So I went with the blue sweater. And as I was pulling up to my polling place a guy asked me if I wanted a republican voting guide. I almost asked him if he was color blind! Instead I just went with a no thanks :)
I had brought a book with me because of all the hype over long lines, but I went at about 1030 thinking it'd be in between rushes, and I was right! Only one person ahead of me, and if I had a different letter last name there wouldn't have been anyone! THe place had about 40-50 people in there voting, but they had enough stations set up that it went smoothly.
So now here I sit anxiously awaiting the returns. I so desperately want North Carolina to be a blue state this year. Please oh please let it be?
Something unusual for me- a politicky post! And another request for advice!
Never before in my life have I cared so much about an election day. I used to always believe that all politicians were essentially the same and there was nothing that would change the way it was. I still voted, but knew it didn't matter. And to be honest, never before this year has my vote mattered. As long as the electoral college exists, most people's votes are meaningless IMO. But this year I live in a SWING STATE! And we have 15 Electoral votes. Not as much as some states, but definitely more than when I lived in Vermont for the last election. Plus VT was such a democratic state it didn't really matter who I voted for.
This year I have had an eye opening. I have found hope in a candidate. I believe that there is a chance that there can be a change in the way things are. The last many elections nobody had any clue who I was voting for because I didn't discuss it. This year, everyone who knows me knows that I am 100% behind Barack Obama. The man inspires me like no other ever has and gives me a hope for the future of this country that I never believed I'd ever feel.
So with my recent interest in the Presidential election I started paying attention to the state and local ones. I'm excited to say that for the first time I am not going to leave the little election choices blank on my ballot!
The weird thing is that when McCain first got the Republican nomination I thought it wouldn't be so bad if he got elected. Amazing how that opinion has changed over time! And the irony of it is that one of his top advisers, the one who was responsible for most of the poor decisions made is a guy I went to high school with! When randomly blog surfing I came across this limerick at a blog called Tasty Crumbs
A Mavericky Limerick!
A "maverick" named John McCain Said he wanted a clean campaign But he hired Steve Schmidt So that plan went to shit And his poll numbers went down the drain
I love it! I shared it with my friend AJ at Cranial Vault, and she should be also commenting on it tonight. She has many posts about Steve Schmidt, one that his mom actually replied to! They are tres funny and you might want to check them out if you're interested in what this guy was like at 15!
So one last conundrum I have... Recently I bought a SUPER SOFT fabulous red sweater on great sale. Yay! I thought, oh, how perfect! I can wear this, with blue jeans and a white scrunchie on election day and be all red white and bluey American. And then I realized that wearing red might make peoples think that I actually support McCain.
So what do I do? Do I wear the red sweater as planned, or try to dig up a blue one? Thanks!
So in the past I have talked about my stuffed Bear, Oatmeal and his friendship with an old friend's stuffed Beaver. They like to send each other postcards when the go on vacation, but this time Oatster actually got an email! Why? Because he wanted to include a photo! I felt that I should share because I can't look at the pic without laughing :) The email simply said:
Dear Oatmeal,
How are you? I'm fine. Here is a picture of me at the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico. I had a great time there.
Your friend,
Eager B.
Impressive, eh? So my question for all of you stopping by is do you have a stuffed critter friend? How long have you had this critter and what is it's name?
So in other updates- thanks to all of you who gave your advice on my last post. In my attempt to not give too much I left a lot out I guess. One of the main points missed was that she was not interested in talking it through or working it out, just that she thought a simple "I'm sorry" and I should be "over it" because it's been long enough.
I've decided to take the advice of those of you who suggested that I accept her apology, but not to work too hard at the friendship. If we are in the same place at the same time because of mutual friends, there will be no hard feelings. But I don't think there will ever be the trust that was once there. Thanks for your thoughts and input!
Welcome to my blog :) The last few years on the first day I did a little re-introduction but today I have a more pressing question for anyone stopping by so I'll do that another day.
I have no real idea how I feel about something and would like other peoples opinions :)
Ok back story... a little over a year ago, a friend basically told a group of us to f off as she also destroyed something we all built together. She claims that she did it because she couldn't handle the drama, although she was the one creating any drama, but that's kinda moot. At the time I sent her an email trying to work through the situation and salvage the relationship and she completely ignored that email. I was done.
The other day I got an email from her with the subject "I'm sorry". Here it sorta is:
I want to apologize again for any misunderstandings that was between us concerning yaddah yaddah. Blah blah blah. I hope that enough time has elapsed that we can put yaddah yaddah behind us and try again at our friendship. Please let me know how you all are. I do miss you.
Obviously I took out specific details. Anyway, as I was reading this at first I thought this was great. And then I read that line "you all are" and realized this was a mass mailing. So question A- how would you feel about a group apology?
So I wrote back: When I first started reading this I thought it was great. Until I noticed it was a form email sent out to a bulk mailing list. I sent you an email when this mess was all happening (which I can reforward to you if you forgot, I never delete anything) where I told you that I wanted to explain why I said what I said blah blah how I wanted to work through it with you. You completely ignored that . yaddah yaddah. While I would love to put everything behind us, I feel like a group generic apology cannot wipe away the hurt. Time alone does not mend fences. If you'd like to actually talk to me, I would be open to that.
she replied to this: It was to 4 people. I'm ready to put this behind me, but I can't force anyone who doesn't want to let go. I don't know anything about any email and that is the truth. I tried. I wish you well
so question B is, what are your thoughts knowing it was only 4 out of a large group? Does that change anything?
and finally, I wrote a long one forwarding the original email from a year ago, I won't get into all of that, but her final email to me yesterday was:
I really don't want to get into a pissing match. I am sorry. I cannot and am not in a position to keep dragging it out. I know what I did was wrong, but it's over and I can't do anything about it. I wish I could, but I cannot. blah blah. I don't even care about the email. I don't even remember seeing it at all. yaddah yaddah. There are too many other things going on in my real life that I'm trying to get through that are very critical. Not to say that I'm not worried about old friendships...because if I weren't, I wouldn't even try to make contact...even if it's not acceptable to email a few others who may have been offended as well. I'm sorry if I offended with the "mass email." My intentions were good, even if you can't see that. That's all I can say about it. I've got nothing more.
So I guess question C is this- would you just get over it and move on or would you just let it go? I guess my problem is that she never addressed the original issue, never acknowledged her part. Maybe a simple "I'm sorry" should be enough? I don't know what to think. So I want other people's thoughts on the whole thing- if you can give them.
So thanks for any thoughts you can share. Sorry to start the month off with drama, but I just can't figure out how I feel about all of this and thought I could use this opportunity to get some insight from people who were not at all involved and don't know the parties.
