A Deal is A Deal






This morning I went to a store downtown that sells clothes with defects. They are all well know names but have a few flaws. I bought this t-shirt because I thought it was funny, plus it was only $3.00. You have to stand on your head to see
the actual picture and logo. That way I only attract lissome men. haha





I also liked the fact that it said Calgary............... Princess, you know. I also bought some sweatshirts, walking the dog in the morning. She has short hair but it sheds and I don't want that on my good stuff. Rosey likes to be picked up and cradled after all our excursions.

As you can probably tell I am swamped with things to do today, so I best get on with them.
What do I do first? Read a book that has been calling to me all week or watch the rest of I love Lucy. I'm getting a little tired of, dadadadadadadada, the opening music for Lucy so I guess the book it is.

Have a wonderful week-end, no matter what you do, enjoy!

My Rosey is No Lady













But Neither Am I


She burps and farts, but I still love her.
She drinks her water too fast, gets the hiccups, then comes over and burps in my face.

I call her my little tailgater, she's at my heels wherever I go. I can't move without her getting up and running after me.
Last nite she was in her bed snoring to beat the band. I got up and she didn't even hear me, you'd thought she ran a marathon that day she was snoring so loud.
I went over to look at her and there she was, on her back, breasts exposed and her panties dangling around her ankles.
She also licks anything, today I told her when she hopped on my lap, "lips that touch thine, will never touch mine".

But she's MY ROSEY
Everyone should have one :)

Dumb Blondes

Yesterday I posted a cartoon that was meant to be humorous, upon reflection I think it was not. It was not meant to be offensive but could be perceived that way. I apologize to any who took it as such.

My only excuse is...............

I'm a blonde

I remember a couple of years ago, I was on vacation and visiting my girlfriend from highschool. Her husband is quite a bit older than her and had one of his cohorts over that evening. The gentleman in question repeatedly told dumb blond jokes all evening. (I was the only blond there) Now this guy was married and living with his wife and her girlfriend in the girlfriend's house. Still with me......, okay.
Cuckold is what came to mind but being brought up to respect my elders, I held my tongue,
(-in-cheek).
The girlfriend (not mine, his wife's) is a well know performer and had a lavish home with assets to match.

I really could care less about the jokes but what was he thinking? Just like me, what was I thinking? Dumb Blonde!

Sep 26 1964

Gilligan's Island premieres on CBS television with the pilot episode "Two on a Raft." This is the one where they almost get off the island.

Speaking of old television shows, I rented the box set of I Love Lucy this week. She was a comedic genius. I'm sitting by myself(with Rosey) and laughing so hard at some of her antics. I don't do that much these days at the stuff they try to pawn off as comedy. I also like the Carol Burnett Show, with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. There's one show where Conway is on a doorknob, he's a freakin' riot. Apparently he improvised a lot.

Anyhoo... that's my story and I'm stickin to it.
Have a wonderful week. :)

FALLEN ANGEL


This one of my favorite pictures. I found it online and trying to find an artist to paint it for me.

I love pictures of Angels. Not the doodads available for the collectors but the actual paintings. They are so ethereal and beautiful. This one particular touches me because of all the compartments.

For years now I have compartmentalized all the bad stuff that has happened to me. I mean bad stuff....you know ?
It was a case of survival, deal with it or put it away somewhere where you don't have too. I chose the latter.

Psychiatrist's want to get into your head, get you to deal with it. For some people that may be the way, for others it might be a case of, "let sleeping dogs lie". Dredging up shit that happened years ago could be more harmful then just keeping it somewhere where it doesn't bother you.

Hence the drawers, works for me.

Arrrr...........



I found this book today, what a treasure, yarrrr! :) That is an actual compass in the middle of the picture. I'm going to give it, along with the DVD , Pirates of The Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest, to my 7 year old nephew for his birthday.

The book is so cool, I'd like to keep it for myself. haha
It's pages are old linen like and the book has tons of info on Pirates and their exploits.
There's little envelopes tied with string revealing secrets and maps thruout the book.

Now I just have to get something as cool for his twin sister.


On another note.......

The owner of my building was in my apartment yesterday, about a leak in the downstairs apartment. Nothing in mine....but it was funny because Rosey was running around in pink panties. She was also trying to climb up his legs. Do I mention it or ignore it? The panties I mean. I decided to mention her situation but he acted like he didn't notice, WTF, haha.
He's always on transmit, and doesn't listen to anything but I considered it worth a mention so he wouldn't think I was a crazy lady.

BTW
I just had a vist from my neighbor downstairs and she asked what I was just doing because the leak she was complaining about just happened again...........

I flushed the toilet

Now I have to be conscious every time I flush until Monday. Talk about telling the world your business...... :)

XXXOOO

Also on this day......

Sep 21 1983

Ronald Regan's Secretary of the Interior, James Watt, describes his staff's racial diversity to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce: "We have every mixture you can have. I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent." Watt is forced to resign 18 days later over these comments.

Where was Joan Quigley on that one?

CRIKEY

CNN
Reported By Rory Callinan Sept. 04, 2006


This morning, at 11am Australian time, things finally came unglued for the 44-year-old as he was shooting a documentary segment on stingrays. Snorkeling on Batt Reef , a stretch of the Great Barrier Reef about 15km from Port Douglas in North Queensland, Irwin happened to swim over a large ray which, startled, whipped its barbed tail upwards into his chest. He died instantly. Veteran marine wildlife documentary maker Ben Cropp, who has spent hundreds of hours filming on Batt Reef, says Irwin had come too close to a bull ray. Citing a colleague who saw footage of the attack, Cropp says Irwin had accidently boxed the animal in, causing it to attack. "It stopped and twisted and threw up its tail with the spike, and it caught him in the chest," says Cropp. "It's a defensive thing. It's like being stabbed with a dirty dagger." Says Cropp: "It's a one-in-a-million thing. I have swum with many rays, and I have only had one do that to me."

Lived by the sword, died by the sword. That should be his epitaph.

I have seen his show a couple of times and thought, "is this man crazy?"
It's a very sad situation but......... the man did some very stupid stuff. Was he tempting fate or did he think he was invincible?

Woman's Curse

Poor Rosey is in heat. I didn't want to have her spayed right after I got her because, what kind of trust would we have between us after that. Dog's are in heat for approx. 21 days, her breeder told me. So.......I have her wearing children's panties. I even put half a pantie liner in them. Everyone asks me if I take her out in them. NO! That's just stupid. This morning I called her to come for her walk and she hid behind the living room chair with her head peeking out. She thought that I was going to embarrass her with them on too.

This is all so new to me but as a female, I can certainly relate to her situation. Her breeder brought her up on all natural and organic foods but when I was out yesterday I bought some treats. (All girls like to have forbidden stuff at that time of the month) Wrong.... Rosey threw it up, a half hour after she ate it. Poor mite.

I sent a picture of Rosey in her pink panties to my sister and she said I was mean. "How would you like for me to put a picture of you in your underwear online", she asked. This is a woman who doesn't like dogs but she calls Rosey, poor sweet little thing.

Enough, I will get on to other subjects in the future. Promise. :)

ROSEY











This is my angel.

Rosey is the sweetest dog I have ever encountered. She just wants to love you and lick you to pieces. She is four years old and retired from the business of breeding pups. Now it's her time! I am so lucky to have her and spoil her as she so richly deserves. Being in the baby making business ain't easy. I ran into a woman at the pet store who also had a pug and she asked me if I "crated" her during the day. No, I replied. What does she do then, she asked. ANYTHING she wants, I replied.
I have met so many people since I got Rosey. We walk three times every day. Morning, noon and nite. :) This is funny as I have been so private since I moved here.
I'm out walking and I hear someone shouting "Rosey" all the time.
She snores too...haha

Nurse Strangles Man Hired to Kill Her
By ANNE M. PETERSON, AP ONLINE

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - When Susan Kuhnhausen returned home from work one day earlier this month, she encountered an intruder wielding a claw hammer. After a struggle, the 51-year-old nurse fended off her attacker by strangling him with her bare hands.
Neighbors praised the woman for her bravery, and investigators said they believed the dead man - Edward Dalton Haffey - was burglarizing Kuhnhausen's home. But after an investigation, police now say the intruder Kuhnhausen strangled was apparently a hit man hired by her estranged husband - Michael James Kuhnhausen Sr. - to kill her.

The 58-year-old husband was taken into custody Thursday and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder. He was ordered held on $500,000 bail.
Haffey had worked as a custodian under Kuhnhausen at an adult video store, according an affidavit filed by the Multnomah County District Attorney's office.
Kuhnhausen and his wife were in the process of getting a divorce, and she told officers "her husband was distraught about the divorce and wanting to reconcile but that she was insisting on the divorce," the affidavit states.

A background check showed Haffey had served lengthy prison terms for conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and convictions for robbery and burglary.
Inside a backpack Haffey left at the scene was a day planner with "Call Mike, Get letter," scribbled on the week of Sept. 4, the affidavit said. Michael Kuhnhausen's cell phone number was jotted on the inside of a folder, it said.

An emergency room nurse who lives in a southeast Portland neighborhood, Susan Kuhnhausen arrived home on the evening of Sept. 6 to find Haffey coming at her with a claw hammer.
She was struck in the head and wrested the weapon away, but the struggle continued and Haffey bit the nurse, according to police. A large woman, she was eventually able to get the slight Haffey into a chokehold and police later found him dead in a hallway. An autopsy revealed the cause of death as strangulation.

Police say she acted in self-defense....... DUH!!


Talk about a Twist of Fate..............dadadadaa

Sep 15 1885

P.T. Barnum's prize elephant Jumbo, is struck dead by a freight train in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. It takes 150 men to haul the carcass up an embankment, from whence it is taken to a taxidermist. The stuffed Jumbo becomes a featured attraction in Barnum's circus.

My sister-in-law is from St. Thomas, she nevered mentioned this little? nugget to me. :)
I wonder what they stuffed him with?

Meanwhile.......... back at the ranch

My little darling Rosey is a sweetheart. She really is a godsend because I miss Princess very much. We talk every day but........................

Actually Rosey (not her fault) is quite a responsibility. I put off having a dog for a while now because of this. The 6:30 a.m., noontime, and after work walkabouts are demanding on my time. It's funny, whenever I saw people walking their dogs and picking up their poop, I thought...........ewwwwww! Now it's my dog and even though it's , well........shit, I don't mind it. I love her and that's what you have to do. I'm worried about the winter, I wouldn't want to put my bottom in the snow to go to the bathroom.

I was at the pet store today and another pug came in. The owner(of the pug) knew someone nearby who had a pug that was Rosey's son. Budha. ( small world) She said that Budha's owner would love to meet Rosey. Rosey doesn't cotton to other pugs, she had enough of them in her life. She was a breeder. The lady asked for my e-mail and I gave it to her. It will be very interesting to see how Rosey responds to Budha.

If I had to rename Rosey, it would be Angel, because that's what she is.

Update on Princess

Day 1
After arriving at noon, met with property manager, got keys. When to check out the locale. Got lost three times, fell and scraped her hands, bruised her body. Dirty and stunk so bad she had to buy a new top. Not a happy camper, says the place is spread out like Mississauga or Scarborough. Ewwwwww!

Day 2
Went to the university to get transit pass, still trying to get a fix on the place. Hates it, says the place is a nightmare, highways and biways. Yuck!

Day3
Calls me from Walmart, says she has been waiting for an hour for a taxi. She will call me tomorrow.

Day 4 (Saturday)
Says she had a good day yesterday. Went to orientation a.m., lunch afterwards. Veggie burgers all gone, wants to leave, fellow students convince her to stay. Have a salad they say. Stays and mingles , everyone deciding to go to a pub that evening. She says she doesn't think so, again they say come on. After Walmart, (1 1/2 hours later) she gets home and goes to the pub. Thank Gawd!! She really enjoys herself, getting to meet the others in her program, apparently the university has allowed for more Ph D students this year than ever before.

Found a district that is called Kensington, sorta' like Queen St W. Happy about that!
All in all, getting used to a new city is overwhelming, hopefully it will be okay soon.

Oh yeah, about the taxi service, her taxi driver told her most of the taxi drivers live in the Northeast, (she lives in the Northwest) and they all go home for dinner at 5:00 P.M. That was when she was calling. Go figure that one out???

BooHoo

Princess left for Calgary this morning. We were up at 4 a.m., flight left at 7:00 a.m. For the first time ever I stayed and watched the plane take off from the observation deck. This was a significant moment as I am usually out the airport doors as soon as the person I am seeing off has checked their baggage.
She got a call friday afternoon about an apartment she had applied for online. It's right near the university and we got to see it on the management's website. Cool! That was a close call for us.

If you haven't guessed it yet, Princess is my daughter. I had her when I was a teenager and we are closer than two friends could ever be. I remember when I was in university, she was six and used to write me notes saying, "have a good day, mommy". When she got a little older she told me she used to wonder why my school was so intense when I was only studying "signs". (stop, go, yield)
With my Cape Breton accent that's how I pronounced "science".

She fast tracked high school, got her honors degree in two and a half years and her masters in one. Am I a proud mother................YEAH!

Hence......... Rosey. When I got home from the airport this morning feeling numb and quite despondent, I opened up my door and Rosey jumped right into my arms. Squealing with delight at the sight of me, just what the doctor ordered.
I will post a picture of her shortly so you can see what a cutie she is.

Halifax.......do I really want to make it my home now?????
