Cat Got Your Arm?

Well, he got mine! I have to say...I'm really not a cat person. I think cats are beautiful creatures, if they belong to someone else! Don't get me wrong, I can pet them and be nice and friendly with them......BUT.....

My parents have a cat named George. He is a very handsome fluffy black cat with a fluffy white belly. George has the attitude of a tiger. He will swat at dogs and come out to greet guests. He likes to chew on peoples' hair. He also likes to lay right in the middle of the floor while nieces and nephews play with their toys around him. He is very much a dog in a lot of ways...but he's still a cat.

....

Ok, let me get to my story. I was getting dog food out of a bag and he decided to help me. His help was biting my arm to make me pull it out of the bag faster - I think. OW OW OW! He bit the real tender part of my arm - the part under the bicep...yeah the part that your brother pinched when you were fighting because it hurt real bad! So yeah I think I'm gonna have a nice bruise there.

Cats are too unpredictable for me. I know that they do this thing called love bites...but OW! I don't like that. And the kneading...OOOOH! Don't even get me started on the jumping on you and not meaning to have their claws out....AHOAGHEAOG!!!

Note that this event happened hours ago and as I write this blog, my loyal CAT is sitting on the arm of my chair with his tail waiving in and out of my face. Is this his way of making up with me?

Because Weird is My Middle Name...

I've been meaning to post this for a while but had to find a link.... this makes me laugh hysterically!!

I think that the person who created this commercial must have been my best friend in another life...

What's even funnier....is watching other people see it for the first time. My mom actually lifted her head from the photoshopping of her professional photos on her laptop to see where that strange sound was coming from. My dad...he looked more like a lost pup with his head cocked to the side. ROTFL!!!!

Hajime!

In Japanese that means "begin," and that is what they say at the beginning of a karate match. I am a black belt in karate and was involved in it for 12 years. Such a long time for not wanting to be a fighter. I didn't necessarily love it, but it was worth every minute I spent there. But this isn't what I was going to start talking about...

I wanted to talk about Boo <--- my mom's dog and Panga (Abu and Topanga). They have their own little karate matches once in a while. Though not encouraged, these matches are really funny! They consist of Panga holding a treat - usually a rawhide - between her paws and covering it with her mouth so that Boo cannot get a hold of it. Boo starts barking at Pang and biting the ground in front of her (why does she do that?). Then starts the whining. Boo whines and cries because she can't get the treat. Then Panga whines and cries because she doens't want Boo to get her treat.... And would you have guessed that they sound a good bit like a swarm of bees?! They do!! You have to hear it. Maybe someday I'll record it and put it on here so you can hear it for yourself...

For now, here is a link to what a swarm of bees (and Panga and Boo) sound like: http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/4553251-sound-swarm-of-bees

Oh, and I should also mention that Topanga is a 45lb Golden Retriever mix, about thigh high, while Abu is a Pomeranian/Chiuaua mix and is only 10lbs and is no taller than your ankles. What's funny about that is the fact that Boo always wins these matches after the whining is over. She wiggles the treat out from underneath of Panga's feet and runs away with it. David and Goliath style!

Sometimes You Just Need a Hug...

Thanks to a fellow blogger, Brown Photography I have an awesome video to share... she left it on my comments page, but I think it needs to be brought out in the light. :)

My Dad's Songs

So, when I was little, I used to think that my dad made up all these crazy songs. He would just start singing about the weirdest things. Things about robots, things about being on a radio, whipping something....turns out I found out most of the songs I thought my dad made up were REAL songs! Get out! He even tried to tell me that they were real songs at the time, but I never believed him because they were just too weird. So, years later when I heard them on the radio I would die laughing because the weird, weird, weird songs were real. Whip it, Mr. Roboto, Mexican Radio....that's just to name a few. I never would have thought that there were people who could be as lyrically strange as my dad. Some of the songs my dad sang were actually made up by him (I have a video somewhere to prove it!), but they were mixed in with the real ones, so to this day I assume it was my dad's song unless I hear it on the radio. And not just on a Mexican radio....

Whatever

What is wrong with me? I haven't been posting on here! Oh, well.... whatever. I will post when I want and that's the way it's gonna be.

So.....things that are on my mind right now:

When is it going to be spring?
When will I have time to relax (for serious)?
When are my netflix DVDs coming...Did I mail the previous ones too late to get them by the weekend?
Why are we really busy at work lately? Is there some sort of pattern going on?
When will my dog stop jumping on guests?
Do I have time to go to the gym tonight?
Does anyone read my blog? Do I care if they do or don't?
When am I going to find a decent guy? Should I give up looking?
Will I ever get back to my high school weight? I'm almost at my college weight...
What is my brother doing right now?
How am I going to thank my parents for all the hard work they've done for me recently?
I need to call my tenant and make arrangements for the cable not to be run on horizontally across the front of my house....
Have got to finish the other tentant's lease agreement...
I'm thirsty...
I need to clean my desk...
Why have I been breaking out lately?
Do my shoes match my outfit?
I wonder what's for dinner...
Is my throat swollen and sore because of allergies or am I sick?
It smells like pizza in here....

SO RANDOM = my thoughts!! (and this is only a few minutes of my thought process!)
