Free Cowboy Hats!

Last week at my college, I went into the ladies' restroom, and there was a sticker on the container holding those toilet seat protector thingies. This sticker said, "FREE cowboy hats! Please take one!" Tee hee. Yeah... that made me laugh.

Then... yesterday I went back into the same stall, and somebody had whited-out the sticker! Huh?! Who does this person think she is? Well, apparently there is a cowboy-hat-hater in our midst. I mean, not that I *love* cowboy hats. They're okay. I've only worn *one* in my whole life, and it's yellow-black zebra print. Pretty sweet! And I wore it to one of the two country concerts I've ever been to. Yeah... that was fun.

So yeah... that's it for now. I'm thinking of getting a job again. I feel like I need to help out with bills... although hubby says I don't need to. He's so sweet! I guess I just would like to pay off our credit cards as soon as possible, you know?! So yeah... I'll keep you posted. :)

Naming the New Planetoid.

Well... first off, Happy St. Patty's Day! Kiss me... I'm Irish!

This dude, who works for the water company, had a green shirt on today so, naturally, I was drawn to it. LOL. I just wanted to see what it said. And it said.... "Kiss my ass... I'm Irish." LOL. I thought it was awesome.

And... Did you know that they discovered a new planetoid (apparently it does not 'meet the definition of a planet')? I think it's pretty cool, but it's interesting that we never knew before. I mean, we've been in space for a long time, and you'd think *somebody* would see a large ball 1,100 miles in diameter. But then again, it *is* 8 BILLION miles from earth. :) So anyway, they've decided to name the planet Myurethra to go along with Uranus. Tee hee... get it? Uranus? Myurethra? hahahahaha... okay, just kidding. They named the planet Sedna, after the Inuit goddess who created sea creatures of the arctic. Interesting... at least they didn't name it Caitlin/Katelyn/Caytlin et al. I mean, nice name and all, but with about 40,000 of them being born per year in the U.S.(more than any other name), we have a lot already (no offense to any Caitlins out there). So... that's it for today. Carry on.

*emmett* ~ who will wear green all week in honor of her Irish heritage. :)

A Weird Morning.

It's only 9:55 a.m. and already today is weird!

First off, we were woken up by the fire alarm at 5:30 this morning. We bolted out of bed, grabbed the puppies and rushed outside. We were the only people out there. Weird! I mean... there was also no fire... but still... if there *was* a fire, those people would be burnt to a crisp. Don't they have fire alarms in Mexico? Oh! Maybe the fire alarm was in English, and that's why they didn't understand it. What do fire alarms sound like in Spanish? Hmmm...

Anyway, we called the fire department, and they came over to tell us that the alarm probably went off due to a water surge... whatever that means. So the alarm was turned off, and I was happy.

When we went back inside, I took my husband's temperature because he came home last night with a 104 degree fever. This morning it was 97.9 degrees. Weird...

To make things stranger for this morning, I go to the living room; and I see small, shiny things on the carpet. I get down on my hands and knees and find small circular ones and long thin ones. I'm sitting there with them in my hand thinking, "What the heck is this that the puppies have been chewing on?!" Then... I realize. They ate my wedding tiara. Yep... that's right, my tiara. They must have gotten very rambunctious after we went to sleep, ran into the tall shelf, knocked over the picture frame (which knocked off my small tiara) and chewed it to bits... swallowing most of it. I *did* find two large pieces of it so at least they didn't eat the *whole* thing. That would have been crazy.

Anyway, the tiara was only $2.00 so I'm glad I didn't spend $50.00 on one that my friend wanted me to get. And since it *is* a Disney Princess Dress-up tiara, I'll just get one next time I go to Disneyland (April 1st or 2nd... yay!). :)

See? A strange morning!

*emmett* ~ who is now off to get blood taken... whoopee! Pfff...

I Just LOVE Doggy Products!

We went to Petsmart today to get some doggy treats and some doggy moisturizing shampoo (Ruby's skin is a bit dry). As we were checking out, the cashier looks up and says,

"Oh! Are these for your dog?!"

No lady... they're for me. Who wants Snickers bars when you can have beef n'cheese doggy treats? And that doggy moisturizing shampoo that smells like bugspray? That stuff is far better than that Pantene Pro-V crap! You should see it make my hair all nice and shiny! Pfff...

People's intellect (or lack thereof) will never cease to amaze me. She was a sweet cashier though. :)

*emmett* ~ who laughed herself all the way home to see her puppies

The Sleeping Pill Strikes Again.

I haven't been sleeping very well lately so I took half of a sleeping pill last night. I woke up a bit groggy, but I was like, "Eh... no biggie, I'll just get up anyway and go down to the kitchen."

Well, as of right now, I don't really remember why I turned on the kitchen faucet after breakfast, but all I know is... when I wanted the water off, I flipped off the kitchen light switch. I stood there in the dark thinking, "Why the heck isn't the water turning off?! Damn it! Is something wrong with our plumbing?!" And then... I realized... Yes, Emmett Darling, you're supposed to turn that little thingy next to the spigot: righty-tighty to turn it off. The light switch controls the... *light*.

Yeah... so... ummm... now, I'm going back to sleep to sleep off this sleeping pill. What is it with me and sleeping pills (see THIS)? Sheesh!

*emmett* ~ who noticed last night that those sleeping pills expired three years ago... I think it's safe to say: they have *not* lost their power in their old age.

p.s. I just noticed: That other sleeping pill entry was done on March 10th, and yesterday, when I took my half-of-a-sleeping-pill, it was March 10th... weird

Not Much... But There's eBay!

Wow! Updates two days in a row! I'm on a roll here! Woohoo!

Today was a very strange day. Okay, maybe not that strange to most of you out there, but strange to me because I did lots of stuff. But it will bore you so I won't go into how I drove the 30 minutes to college, only to see that my class was cancelled; then decided to go and pay my Victoria's Secret bill (and bought a new very cute pink bra); tried on LOTS of clothes at a very cute store (but didn't buy any); went to Target (bought TOO MUCH stuff); then came home and took the puppies out for a walk. But you don't want to hear about all that because like I said, my life is pretty boring these days... not much going on.

And I must say that Northern California weather is CRAZY! Last week it was raining gorillas, and this week it is in the 80s! The puppies woke me up at 3:30 a.m. so they could go potty, and it was warm outside! Weird! And then today... I was driving at 8:00 a.m., and it was 65 degrees. Two hours later, it's 85 degrees! At 10:00 a.m.! HOT for this time of year! So yeah... weird weather.

And once again the wonders of ebay never cease to amaze me. I saw this one on savecraig's diary, and man, whoever this dude is, he's a genius! After I read THIS (link used to lead to a coke can that opened itself), I was searching my house for things *I* could sell for hundreds of dollars. :) Carry on Kiddos.

*emmett* ~ who changed her diaryland salutation-name because this was an old nickname of mine, and I was reminded of it recently. I miss being called Emmett... *sniff*

p.s. I get so excited every time I look at my page and see my cute little monkey! I love monkeys! But, no, I don't fling poo... okay I do, but only sometimes...

Is that a... crab?!

The other night when I was walking the puppies, we walked past the pool, and I swear there was a giant crab at the bottom! I stood there and stared at it for the longest time, but then I convinced myself it had to be leaves in an odd position because there is no way we have crabs here in this apartment complex... especially not one this size! It was HUGE! Like... the kind you eat!

Anyhow, today while I was walking the puppies, I walked past the pool, and somebody had thrown a baby doll in the garbage can in the pool area. I peeked through the bars into the trash to get a closer look, and lo and behold... a GIANT CRAB!! I could barely believe my eyes! There *had* been a crab in the pool! I suppose, somebody had bought one for dinner, and somebody else didn't like that idea too much.

Or maybe... somebody had a pet crab, and they wanted to see if chlorine was bad for it.

Or maybe... it was a bad crab, and they put it in the pool on purpose! Like that one time when my sister's hamster bit my dad, and he forced it to have a little 'boating accident' in the pool.

Or maybe... well, I'm sure there's lots of possiblities. And now I'll always wonder why there was a giant crab in my swimming pool. Weird!

*emmett* ~ who also noticed that the pool area reeked of seafood... so you never know, there could be more!

p.s. I finally got the picture on my page! Yay! Thanks to my extraordinarily talented and sexy hubby!
