Waaaaaa!

I finally had my teeth cleaned last week, and was shocked to find that I had decay.. lots of it..

Now, if you remember, I worked for this dentist for 8 years, and have, since then, taken fairly good care of my mouth..

until the jelly beans, apparently...

You see, Mom likes them, and there was a jar on her table, and sometimes a handful of jelly beans is the only good thing about the day...

So, yesterday I had FOUR crowns prepped, and one filling done.

All at once...

My mouth is sore.

and my pocketbook empty...

and my neck hurts, inexplicably..

poor poor pitiful me!

Mysterious....

While at lunch today, we heard a sound as if there was a huge earthmoving machine heading down the street...

Then the windows shook and rattled...

No big deal.

I live in Earthquake Country... In fact, I am so fond of them that I took one with me to South Carolina just so I wouldn't get homesick.

Only

It wasn't an earthquake.

We were listening to the news after lunch, waiting to see if there would be SOME mention of the earthquake and where it originated. Calls were coming into the station from all over the area. Malibu, the South Bay (me), Calabasas, .. all over. The radio station checked with the Data center...

No quake..

More phone calls.

I finally called in because no one had mentioned the NOISE that accompanied the window shaking. I figured maybe it was different because I was on the edge of the ocean.

The nice radio man called me back tonight to tell me that it was my call that triggered an inquiry into which agency might be doing" SONIC" (or some sort) testing. NASA and EDWARDS AIRFORCE BASE are both around here...
I think it was the Nasa guy who said.. well... they MIGHT have been testing SOMETHING 50 miles out to sea..

Maybe.

My niece said that they have to tell us, don't they?... .... .... riiiight...

If the shore is littered with dead fish and whales tomorrow, I'm going to be pissed...

Golden Nightshirt....

Ok.. this is a really scary picture, but SOMEONE asked, sooo..

I didn't get a picture of us in our matching nightshirts, but this is what they looked like...

I was too busy entertaining a panting Golden Retriever, who was a tad nervous about being away from home and with me. I'm not as much a dog person as I thought. She finally calmed down..

Maybe it was doing her nails that made her feel better..

Yep..

The nails were great, but my hair may never recover...

A Sleepover...

I have company... It's probably because I've been cleaning up the place, dontcha think?

Meet Casey, my sister's golden. They went to Lost Vegas this weekend (the fools!) and I volunteered to have Casey over for a sleep over, just for tonight.

I've got the whole thing planned...I've put the little tent up on the bed, and we have matching nightshirts, and I'm going to make popcorn and hot chocolate (with the little marshmallows) and we're going to do each other's nails and maybe hair if we have time. I've rented movies for later (all P.G) and we're going to make some crank phone calls (my phone number is unlisted, so it doesn't show up on crank calls!).

I DO know how to throw a sleep over...

So far Casey is finally learning that this house is not as busy as hers, and has finally settled on the floor in front of the couch.

She also likes the view from the front window, where she can watch EVERYONE who goes by on the parkway and sidewalks and street and...

lots to do...






I Don't expect to get a lot of sleep tonight....

Spring Cleaning....

Ok...so I'm not timely on this one.

Call it Summer Fits (as in those uncontrollable urges to do something you KNOW you're going to be sorry you started).

It started with C.J.. I moved out her cat house and cleaned up a couple of 'kitty places', and then I was off... So now I've finished 'her' room and have started on the computer room.

I hate clutter. I didn't used to mind it, but it really bothers me as I get older (and the OCD kicks in)...

I'm going to like the room when It's finished, but it is consuming time, as I do NOTHING easily and quickly any more...

But when I'm done, all will be more organized...

Except for the fake Wisteria plant that I found at an estate sale for $5...

It's huge... and in the way, but I like it!

Oh... and LOOK what I found behind the fold out bed...

I've been wondering what happened to him... !!
