I want a tattoo, but I am a pansy and don't like to be purposely poked with needles for over an hour. I might endure the pain; however, if there were a tattoo just perfect for me. Until that tattoo comes along, here is a list of potentials. No particular preference order; they're just listed as I think of them.
Treble Clef or some other musical notation
Piglet
Jack Skellington
something flute-ish, but I don't know if I trust anyone to get this just right.

A Homeowner's Symphony
I'm back. I missed my little blog. SORRY, for you 10 or so who read my posts. Needless to say, I have had NO time for blogging or any other web activity. Getting the house, re-training an unruly alpha-wannabe cat, making home improvements, working my normal job, worrying about not getting pregnant and being a part-time musician hasn’t necessarily taken its toll, but all that does wear me/us out. Hub is stressing over the same things.
To be honest, I am not very stressed about anything except for the pregnancy part (more on that later), which obviously doesn't help. Funny how that happens. Good thing is that a friend of mine who was in the same boat is now pregnant - yay for them! That gives me hope that we will, too.
Our property seems to be gaining its fair share of black widow spiders. What's up with that? Poor hub nearly missed getting bitten aka kilt by one on Sunday. It's not enough that our youngest cat bit him last week or that he has constant kidney stones and an ulcer... nooo. Psycho spiders decide to come after us just for pruning back shrubs! I had the dang willies all day, and I've been pricing quarterly pest control.
Sigh... so much stuff to keep up with when you're homeowners. Landlords do more than you realize.
I think I may have mentioned breaking my foot earlier in the year. So tonight, I have REALLY hurt it again. It might require another trip to the podiatrist. As if I want to spend more money. I know how to tape it up properly, so I may just do that. MUCH cheaper than an out-of-network $60.00 co-pay.
I started a new book series... The Immortals by Alyson Noel (first book is Evermore, 2nd Blue Moon, not sure of the others yet). Yeah, yeah - it's vampires again. So? Friends of mine have read up to four series. I am only on my 3rd, thank you very much. Plus, The Vampire Chronicles don't count since I barely remember anything about them.
Later... big puppy needs to go out.

Privacy, or not
I think I am slowly losing my anonymity. Well, I couldn't expect much of it when I have my photo on my blog, but I try.
With this soundsoffsouth.com thing coming my way, I am going to have to embrace my public-ness. I can handle it. I just have to watch what I say. I don't want something to come back and bite me in the posterior. I mean, if I am linked from our main news source in Greenville, that's about as public as standing on a mouse in downtown.
That being said, I am probably about open myself up and invite my first IRL friend to read up. I doubt if there's anything here she's not already privy to.
It's been too long since you have seen pictures. I shall post some tonight after I hang my Halloween decorations.

Need... SLEEPY! / Doggie Chronicles, Part 1
I am at a thought impasse. I had insomnia the night before (maybe for the first time in my life). I finally went to bed when my body told me I was tired… by about 2:30 AM. How is it that I go to bed when my body tells me to do so but I’m still about to fall out from sleep deprivation this morning? I must have cleaned half the house. I was up MOPPING at 2 in the morning. Fiona, the dog, had gone to sleep 4 hours before. Geez. Well, I’m paying for it today, that's for sure.
Change of subject...
To give you an idea of what we're going through with Fiona and her transition to our household from the "streets," take a look at what I posted on http://www.baddogs.com/ about her. You'll get more information later... and pictures! I finally found my camera cable in our remaining boxes from the move and uploaded 500-ish pictures from my data card, which is everything I took from January to present.
Breaking in a New Home
Fiona: Mix
Hi! My name is Fiona, and I just got a new home on March 26th, 2008. I was a stray for awhile. I had a good home, but for some reason, I just didn't stay there. I even know some of my commands and not pee-peeing in the house! Mommy adopted me from a lovely family who had rescued me from the streets. They had been holding onto me until someone like Mommy and Daddy came along to take me to my furever home. I am so glad they saved me! I was getting tired of worrying about food and where I would hide from the mean, loud rain. Mommy tried to figure out my real name, but I wouldn't help her out. She's teaching me to learn my new name.
So now I am home with Mommy, Daddy, and these two furry things they call cats. Oh, how I despise them! But anyway, Mommy and Daddy put me in the grrrage for a week or so until their friend lent them my crate. I decided I didn't like that stupid grrrage, so I proceeded to try and dig my way out of it. Did you know there is funny white stuff in the panels of the garage door? It sticks to my body when i roll in it, and I love it. Daddy informed Mommy that it was a styrofoam panel, whatever that is, and that it was rooinned. Why would they use a bunch of french words anyway? Hoomans are weird. So I checked out another panel while I was at it... on the other door. It might have had a different taste, you know. It didn't, though. I was disappointed. Mommy used french words again.
Mommy got my crate later, so I finally got to go inside. Yay! I was checking out the soft covers on the floor they called carpet, testing its sleep and clawing factors. Both tests were positive. I can, in fact, sleep on it and claw it. I also found that bamboo window covers don't taste so good. I left those stoopid pieces in a pile in front of the window for Mommy and Daddy to find... same for the 2 inch plantation blinds. I have had those before, but these had a more expensive taste. I don't think I'll be eating those again. Mommy rasied them too high now. I just can't help it when they leave me alone. I have this thing where I don't like to be alone too long or to be closed up too long. I tried to get through my door once also. Daddy said he has to take it off and reepaynt it.
So, about these "cats." Mommy and Daddy love on them and pick them up all the time. I don't like that at all! I'm in my crate having to behave or sleep, and there they are free and having a good time! So I decided that I was going to show them what's what. I broke out of my crate and chased them all over the house! I woke up Daddy barking at them while they were under the bed. Ha - I showed them! I didn't hurt them, though. I made Mommy cry when she found out at work. She got scared and stopped trusting me. She's decided SHE'S the top dog now and has been making me sit ALL the time now anytime I want something. I don't know who she thinks she is, but she's doing what I heard her say were submishun exrrsizes. Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to be a baddog when she's gone.
More later!

Kiki's week of busy-ness
I'm here. I swear!
I have had no time to update lately at all. With Grandma-sitting, working on mortgage loan paperwork, Halloween, and our vacation, I have had no down time. I feel bad, but what can you do? Plus, with Thanksgiving coming up, plus Christmas decorating/shopping, etc. etc, it may not get any better LOL.
Writing here is something I really want to do, but I have taken to electronically reminding myself to do so. Argh!
Oh, there will now be a plant update here as well. I have killed one "angel" plant, almost killed and in the process of saving one begonia, and maintaining one violet, a bamboo and some kind of greenery whose name escapes me.
The poor begonia... poor, poor plant of mine. It was a birthday gift last year. It was HUGE when I got it. The leaves were as big as 5 inches (circumfrence). It actually had blooms as well. If I remember correctly, the blooms were pink. Eventually, everything dropped off except one leaf. I replanted it and am trying to save it. It gained three extra leaves, but now there are only two total.
My pansy, though, is gorgeous. My grandma gave it to me. The 2 purple blooms are huge. I'll show pics when I have my camera at work again.
Until later. I have to run to Pecknel Music to drop off some music for the concert band during lunch.

Oh yeah, I finished Harry Potter 7 the week before last. I LOVED it, and now I'm looking for other people's opinions of it now that nothing can be spoiled for me.

- Catch up on laundry (5 loads b/c our dryer was out last week). DONE!!
- Do the dishes. DONE!!
- Dust living room. (update: this may not get done, as the rest has taken a lot more time)
- Catch up on Charmed episodes I've DVRed. DONE!!

I'm back!
Ok, hopefully, I am back for good. I have gotten over my anger at not having bloggerbot. Yeah, it still sucks not being able to post more than five pics at a time, but I have no choice. Alas, life goes on.
Anyway, I am busy doing the "template upgrade." For the non html-savvy folks such as myself, this idea is perfect. I can go back to being html-lazy and let blogger do all the work LOL.
I'll be back tomorrow.
For real this time!
