Keeper of Odd Hours

  Smoke alarm going off in hallway of the Red Lion in Eureka Ca.   I stuck my head out and two others were doing the same thing..one said they are going to call the front desk. I also called the front desk, yes it was a smoke alarm Set off by a smoke machine in one of the banquet rooms. Must be the party with the fairy winged peeps and witches that came into the building while I was eating my dinner down stairs, well not really eating, more like picking at it..don't get me wrong, it was tastey but I didn't feel like eating, was more thirsty and tired.  Okay..back to watching cable tv. Don't get that at home! Then will read some and get some sleep..early day tomorrow.  ttfn

The highlight of my day in Eureka..Almost got hit by a car!! I was crossing Harris st in the crosswalk with a green walk light...A lady making a left hand turn onto Harris from F st. when I was 1/2 way across the street...I tried was looking right at her...she didn't look at me till I just jumped/ran out of her way! Missed by an inch! AND she was SMILING when our eyes met as I jumped/ran! I glared at her! Was too busy getting out of her way to yell or gesture. Anyway, that got the heart pumping.

Disco at 8 years My Disco Berner is not eating her kibble. She has always been a chow hound. We have tried different foods, adding canned (which sometimes work). Today I picked up some Liver Brownies from Happy Tails Barkery. They are fresh frozen and made at the Barkery (by Lynette). Tonight at feeding time I took one out, nuked it for a few seconds and Disco was there and ready to eat. I crumbled/chopped it up and mixed in her kibble and added a dash of warm water. She ate it up, now to see how long this lasts. This eating thing reminds me too much of what her mother Selene did when she got sick. Disco is 8 years and 5 months old.  ttfn

Starting out with Tuesday evening moving into Wednesday afternoon. Since the BlackBerry outage a little while ago. RIM decided to give a few apps away. So I looked at the choices and saw the Driving Safely one. Sure why not, not knowing what it was really about (thinking maybe it was for road conditions or something like that), I know...I should have read the info first, but hey, I don't have good coverage here in the JV and it was good right then so I took advantage of the down load. I fell asleep. Next morning, getting ready to leave for work..feeding dogs, making sure all water bowls were filled etc. Then I heard this strange noise coming from the living room!! Even the dogs (the ones that heard it) went to investigate. We looked around and no one was at the door, the tv was off, hulu wasn't running on the laptop. Shrugs, we all went back into the kitchen to finish the feeding process. I said to kids (the dogs for those who don't know me), I wonder if that was Rachel...

Thoughts on Think Pink and Breast Cancer Awareness Month... Yesterday while I had my hair cut and styled. Flat ironed..(I really like it!) Now to see if I can keep it up! (post photo later). The Chop Chix Salon ladies really go all out, no holding back on fund raising... I bought 3 raffle tickets at Chop Chix Salon. I sure hope to win on of those awesome baskets or the flat iron or the Kenra products! btw i love Kenra hair spray! Smells soo good! i am going to try to stop by the shop on my way to work to join in on the excitement of the cause..Think Pink. Been thinking of the Think Pink movement..Wouldn't it be nice to have Think Pink products for those who are going/have been, though breast cancer surgery/radiation/chemo. Special items such as cotton hats, head scarves, bras, water bottles, pill cases, blankets (for those chemo sessions), water bottles...don't have to be pink but maybe with the ribbon logo on them somehow.  A tote bag would be nice, cotton sleep shirts, ...

Getting my hair styled today! These are photos from the next day... Thanks Jene for getting me in! ttfn

Trying to figure out how to connect this to twitter and Facebook...so I won't have to  Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v all the time...Cause sometimes I copy too much or don't copy enough! PS..found out that the only way to post on FB at the same time is to "share" it. Oh well, I was trying for an easier way. tgn

I'm Back! First off..I don't like bees or hornets and the other sting/bite capable insects. I do like them for their purpose but not when they are stalking me!!! I was trying to open up the rest of the back yard for the dogs this morning by taking down ex-pens. I got one folded up but left it laying on the ground...too many bees buzzing around me! Note to self...either wear bee keepers gear or wait till sun goes down to move the ex-pens. At least the dogs can now get into the rest of yard. ttfn
