How sweet he is. Always thinking of me.

Bryan is our "guest contributor" today. His question is concerning the Alabama song "If You're Gonna Play in Texas". The lyrics state:
If you're gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot
But not for a Louisiana man.
Bryan's questions are
I am sure Bryan would like to thank you for listening and pondering this with him.

If you're gonna play in Texas
You gotta have a fiddle in the band

But not for a Louisiana man.
Bryan's questions are
"Why does it matter? What does a LA man have to say about the music in TX?"
"Why is the LA man in TX?"
"Do they have to have fiddles in the band in LA?"
I am sure Bryan would like to thank you for listening and pondering this with him.

Quick blog to let you know what I am up to. I have decided to focus on the positive today. My visit to church camp on Tuesday and Wednesday has reminded me that all the suffering I do on Earth is nothing in comparison and that I should just shut up about it.
We will see how positive I stay.
Today is FRIDAY! How's THAT for uplifting?

Aurra...the next Houdini? No wait, she's stuck.
So I get this call from my hubby, Bryan. He said that one of our kittens that live on our front porch had a new collar – made out of glass! Aurra Sing (the troublemaker) must have gotten her head stuck in a glass mason jar I had on the porch for candles. The jar was broken, but the thicker glass neck was still on Aurra.
In the meantime, Bryan called back and said he was definitely going to need 2 people. I could hear Aurra meowing in the background. Bryan asked where the digital camera was.
I called the HS people’s cell phones and got no one.
Bryan called again 2 minutes later telling me, “It’s off.”
What a relief. I did not want to walk into the vet's office with Aurra and her new shiny collar. How embarrasing!
[footnoote: all possible "tight spaces" for little Aurra have been eliminated. The glass jar held a citronella candle that I burn on the porch when we are out there and it was on the floor. We have had a total of 9 other cats/kittens that have NEVER touched it. Leave it to Aurra!]
You have a good day meow, you hear?

Aurra Sing (the troublemaker) must have gotten her head stuck in a glass mason jar I had on the porch for candles. The jar was broken, but the thicker glass neck was still on Aurra.
Augh!
Bryan called for ideas on how to remove the new collar without hurting her. Other than greasing her up with vasoline or soapy water – I had none. I told him to call me if it became an emergency situation (I was at work). I tried calling the Humane Society who we were fostering the cats for, not really wanting to tell them what a bang-up job we were doing as foster parents.In the meantime, Bryan called back and said he was definitely going to need 2 people.

The Smell in the Trunk
Bryan goes to our local Wal-Mart store for the Humane Society to pick up the damaged pet food and cat litter weekly. Last week was no exception – he actually went twice: once on Monday morning and again Thursday morning. Here is a smelly, but funny story.
Bryan picked up products from Wal-Mart on Thursday morning. He was driving our little Geo, which we call “Blue-Car”. Monday morning I need to drive that car to work since Bryan needed our other car. When I got in I thought I smelled something a little stinky, but it went away. I didn’t think anything of it until lunchtime when I smelled it again and it smelled a little worse. When I got in at 5:00, the smell was still there, but I was eager to get home and I promptly forgot about it. Until….
Tuesday morning, I got in the same lil’ Blue Car and hoped I didn’t smell when I got to work.
Tuesday afternoon, before leaving for lunch I looked throughout the car for the dead animal that had to be making the sickening stench in the car. Did I hit something? Where is this foul odor coming from?
Tuesday evening it was cooler and sprinkling. The car didn’t reek like it had at lunchtime. Later that evening, Bryan & I pile in to go to the Humane Society to chat. Bryan remembers that he still has undelivered pet food in the trunk so we think “Great! We can kill 2 birds with one stone!”
When we arrived at the office parking lot, I hopped out to open the trunk and Bryan ran to get a cart to haul the load of food in. The trunk opened and a whoosh of dead meat stench nearly knocked me to the ground. Bryan came running with the cart and was nearly knocked over himself.
After I had successfully suppressed my gag reflex, I started investigating the car’s trunk. All I could see was one giant 50 pound bag of dry cat food and one smaller 5 pound bag of puppy food. The idea that we had some sort of vermin in our trunk that died in the food was tossed around for a while. We hauled both food bags in the cart – but neither of them were the source of the smell.
Before taking the food in, I spotted what looked like a box wrapped in tons of plastic wrap. Bryan took it out of the truck and placed it in the cart away from the other food. Removing the plastic revealed 2 cases of canned cat food all sealed tight. Or so we thought. He took one from the case to investigate and the offensive smell immediately returned as all the juice spilled onto the ground.
Bryan immediately took the canned food to the dumpster. We tossed the whole lot away just in case and we have boxes of odor control baking soda in our trunk now. I checked at lunch and I only smelled the baking soda.
So if you hear any stories of two nuts in a parking lot cleaning out their trunk and throwing up…it was us!

Monday...the Blog
Sitting here slaving on this Monday morning I can only laugh at the irony of the early 60’s tune, “Rescue Me”, on the radio.
Haha
Now “You’re No Good” by Linda Rondstat is playing. I just find this funny for some reason. I wonder what will be next…
“Suspicious Minds”
“Tears of a Clown”
“Poor Side of Town”“Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart”
(I actually wrote this on Monday, but did not get it posted until today...sorry)

Good Morning!
I have had an OK morning so far. I was awakened too early by the Princess Penny who needed to go potty outdoors. Thank you, Bryan for taking her. I still had to get out of bed though in order for the two of them to get up. So I took my morning pharmaceutical product and went potty myself. When Bryan came back in, he said he could hear Skyler howling upstairs so he went to get him and I took him out. Please keep in mind that at this time I still had about 45 minutes to go before I even had to think about waking up.
So Penny stayed in the kitchen to eat, Libby wanted to stay in the living room to watch the cats on the porch, but Skyler wanted on the bed with us. Basically, Skyler got a 1/2 hour long belly rub which kept me from going back to sleep which in the long run is probably a good thing. I would have been extremely tired - well at least more than I am now anyway.
After I got to work I realized that IT IS THURSDAY! Not that I am some Thursday-lover necessarily, but the end of the week is in sight at least.
Grizzlie Game this weekend - so it will be hot. Other than that no plans - which is always good.
Ciao!
