Say "hello" to my little friend...

He (or she) is just a BABY!!!

Only 1 month old.

I got him/her today.

Currently accepting suggestions for a name...

Let your fingers do the walking

Has anyone else ever noticed that, when looking through the Yellow Pages, "Pet Stores" comes directly after "Pest Control"?

Life is good.

Try to remember that.

We seem to forget all too often.

I don't really have anything to say today, I was just tired of looking at the last post!

I've had to work for the past 9 days straight.

Yes, that means without a day off.

I finally get one today.

On my last day off, I was called in at 8:00 in the morning to cover for a girl who was arrested for public drunkenness and thrown in the tank until she sobered up.

Can you see the irony in this situation?

So to celebrate, I'm gonna make myself a nice bowl of hot cereal, have a piping hot cup of coffee, hop on my new bike and take a nice, relaxing ride on the Jedediah Smith Recreational Trail out to mile marker #10 and back (yep, that's a 20 mile round-trip, not including the bike ride getting there...feel free to Google Map it).

Then I'm going to IKEA and buy myself a little "bistro" table and some stools for the breakfast nook. I'm tired of eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on the couch!

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

My new theme song...

Why be afraid if I'm not alone

Though life is never easy

The rest is unknown

Up to now for me

It's been hands against stone

Spent each and every moment

Searching for what to believe

Coming out of the dark

I finally see the light now

It's shining on me

Coming out of the dark

I know the love that saved me

You're sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan

And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand

Step by step I'll make it through

I know I can

It may not make it easier

But I have felt you near all the way.

Won't be fooled again

I'll be fighting in the street

With my life now at my feet

And the morals that they worship will be gone

And the men who spurred me on

Sit in judgement of all wrong

They decide and the shotgun sings the song

And the world looks just the same

And history ain't changed

'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution

Take a bow for the new revolution

Smile and grin at the change all around me

Pick up my guitar and play

Just like yesterday

I'll move myself aside

If I happen to be left half alive

I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky

For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There's nothing in the street

Looks any different to me

And the slogans are replaced, by and by

And the parting on the left

Is now the parting on the right

And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution

Take a bow for the new revolution

Smile and grin at the change all around me

Pick up my guitar and play

Just like yesterday

Then I'll get on my knees and pray

I won't be fooled again

Won't be fooled again...
