- 22:55 Thinking that taking a nap with the husband before he went to work wasn't the best idea. I'm wide awake now. And hungry. #

The terrorist attack on Fort Hood makes me realize how vulnerable we can be. It's a sad tragedy and a reality in our lives today - as united as we have always been in this time we can never become too comfortable in any situation.

- 22:07 @alittlepregnant I found that very same wig at my mother's house last night. From the 80s and she dressed all of us as clowns. #

Short version: Cheeto has become ginormous and likes to shoulder-tackle us with love and affection. We call this "flumping" - he'll get a running start in the hallway, thunder down the straightaway, leap onto the bed, and then land on his side on top of us. It's different from Ham's more dainty, more reserved, and yet more slobbery "flurfing" -- in which he finds a comfortable spot with his head next to mine on my pillow and then commences purring and patting my face with his paws while drooling and licking his lips. Yeah, I know.
I've come to the conclusion that Ham might be mildly autistic. He completely lacks social skills; he'll go from being hissy and yowly and aloof to contorting himself in order to be petted Just Perfectly, and he shows his love by standing with his hind feet on my lap and his front feet on my shoulders while headbutting me in the face hard enough to give me a nosebleed.
Ham did have a bit of a rough patch in August, right before we went to Montana. He developed a real corker (pun intended) of a UT crystal and had to go in for surgery to unplug the pipes, so he boarded at the vet while we were on vacation instead of hanging out at home with our awesome Goth girl catsitter. Now he eats the fancy expensive prescription food. I'd switch him to raw if he would consider anything other than pea-sized dry kibble to be food. Especially since Cheeto has ballooned to almost comic proportions on the prescription chow. :P
Cola, the long-suffering Corgi, is the world's best condo dog. She's compact, beautiful, and sweet. She likes to run off-leash at the dog park and hang out at our feet in the TV room and sleep on our bed on the days that we let her. There was that one time she ate my one-of-a-kind patchwork leather with brass studs knee-high boots, and I won't lie -- I'm still bitter. But mostly she's awesome to the max. While we were in Montana she learned how to swim and even ended up playing on a board in the lake of her own volition.
October: I met Alton Brown and I dyed my hair blue and purple. The former was pretty amazing; he's one of my two biggest influences in wanting to be a professional chef one day. The latter is like having plumage.
September: I saw baby goats and panda cows at the county fair, and I cleaned out my garage in the middle of a thunderstorm.
August: The boys and I saw picas, taught the dog to eat huckleberries, and hiked in the wilderness in Montana.
I hope this finds all of you peeps well!
- 00:24 Decided against watching the alien abduction show so I wouldn't end up With weird dreams like @christinaheart #
- 00:27 @ycgonzalez is that for a date? Is he short? #
- 10:04 Are the three body bags (one baby-sized) really necessary on the "check your smoke alarms" commercial? It seems a bit much. #
- 10:49 @meghanthefox I'm sure it will get better at some point. #
- 10:55 I just want to say that no single cupcake should have basically 800 calories. Especially when it is not even a large cupcake. #
- 12:42 I think L & I woke up from that nap with not enough sleep. But at least 1 of us is pretending to be rested & in a good mood. (hint: not L) #
- 15:04 @jnjackson you got google wave? How is it? #
- 15:08 It is not very easy to get anything accomplished with a learning-to-walk child attached to the back of your knees. #
- 15:20 Packing away summer clothes and bringing out the fall/winter clothes. I need more space though. #
- 15:22 I wonder how many people are really interested that the Duggars are all prone to motion sickness. I can't thing too high a number. #
- 21:29 S o hungry. But, nothing sounds too good at the moment. At least nothing in the house. :( #
- 21:37 Just heard someone say "math is not a spectator sport" Remind me of HS w/ @jnjackson & making fun of our math teacher who had that as a sign #
- 21:52 He seems to fall asleep like this often. twitpic.com/nmtni I guess the video he was watching wasn't all that captivating. #
