I am sort of confused by all of the new xanga stuff. All of those buttons… I can’t find somethings or how to fix them. Yesterdays post I first posted protected so I could hunt for pictures.. I am slow and then I could not figure out how to unprotect it so I jst backed up and found the page and posted that one but you know that makes two posts.
Hubby and I just returned form the vet.
I am neurotic, and obsessive.
Please pray for caesar’s body that it travels safely to Pennsylvania and comes back to me safely. I am worried about that.
The tech at the vet was very nice.
these past few days I have taken at least 50 photographs of my beloved boy’s quiet body.
Hubby took a few pictures of me kissing him at the vet.
These are things you do because you know if you didn’t you would regret it.
I have too many regrets in my life. Caesar was a huge part of my life and I have a huge Caesar shaped hole in my heart.
I am sooo cold today.
My doc called in some xanax for me. He just called to offer condolances for Caesar. Gosh I did not think there were doctors like that anymore.
I have so many friends and family behind me, holding me up. I am overwhelmed at the love and attention.
I could not do this alone. I am thankful that my husband works at home now.
I lifted Caesar from his basket and put him on the exam table on the bloo towel. The tech helped me.
She was very nice. She listened to all of my silly concerns.
When we came home… I went to see Princess and she smelled my hands and drooled all over them. It made me cry for her.
She is holding up well. seems very happy. We will take good care of her and love her constantly and not leave her for long periods.
Even though their kitty cuppiebed was vacuum wrapped in plastic (because of their occasional barf fests) I removed all of the outer coverings and washed them but she refuses to go in to that bed. I think I wil look for a new one for her. something pretty for a sweet Princess. She used to love that cupbed. She deserves a beautiful bed that does not have sadness attatched to it.
I ate some crackers. I cannot think of anything I feel like eating. Not even cookies. really. not even oatmeal cookies. not even cake.
I will have to force myself to eat some things.
I remember I was like this when Dolley died. eating was a very uncomfortable feeling. like I don’t know.
Thank you for your support. Thank you for supporting me.
Please say a prayer for Blizzie. She is suffering at the compound and longing to be here.
She will be home in 9 days for a small break.
I love all of you.
This is too hard.
I cant eat and my heart is broken. i have had two bowls of cheerios and a few cups of tea since yesterday
I wke up at 5 am sobbing. I miss him.
we will go to the vet soon, with Caesar’s body. Hubby is here. He is a strong guy.
Please, just pray for me, send vibes, what ever. I am crippled with grief over a cat i have had for over 16 years.
Caesar was a treasure.
Please pray that the vet experience will be good. we want to have him cremated.
Please just pray. The pain is unbearable right now.
I love all of you.
Princess:
Today Caesar did not wake up.
I slept with him last night in our warm paradise room with the heeter…
and then, God sent an angel and she gathered him in her arms and took him to Rainbow Bridge.
Mommie is very sad. she won’t stop crying.
The beans were going to go to kollij today to visit Blizzie, but only daddy will go.
He has to sign some papers for Blizzie’s scholarship
Mommie will stay home with me. She will nottttt stop crying.
Caesar the tuxie tiger: April 15, 1991 ~ January 20, 2008
How has it already been a week since the last time I bloggified?
Well, I have been… not so busy.
I have been a little bit sad though.
Last week-end I learned that a child hood friend of mine has ovarian cancer. what a scary disease is that?!
She never had any symptoms or discomfort until suddenly between Christmas and New Year.
One day, she felt a bit puffy and bloaty, then she got a stomach ache. she finally decided to go to the doc, thinking perhaps she had a hernia or something.
She was sent to the ER.
They did a zillion tests and she was operated on immediately after they discovered that it looked like there was something in her that was not right.
She has serious ovarian cancer… they have given her maybe 3 to 6 years survival if she is lucky.
Wow. I am praying for her, praying for a miracle.
So what’s new with you?
I have been skating and trying to keep this house from turning into a disaster area.
We got 6 inches of snow here today. It looks nice.
Hubby and I cleared the driveway, then we came inside. The trash truck came down our uncleared street and got stuck at the bottom.
Hubby put on his boots and coat and went out and helped them get the truck to the top of the hill…. he was hoping he could get in the driver’s seat, but that did not happen. He did get to stand on the back and hang on like a real trash guy 
He said “it was a blast!”
Here are a few pictures for vous.
Video-chat today at 2:00 PM
Snow in front of our house:
So.
That is it.
What a day.
I need to give Caesar his flooids now, the silly skunk!
Gosh I love my olde kitties so much.
Richard Whately.
I have been busy.
Tuesday I went to my parents for mom’s 85th birthday she is doing well. Blizzie came along, we ate a lot of cake, left at 3:15, sailed home in the beltway traffic. ate a quick dinner and then, hubby drove and we took Blizzkin back to the compound. She is taking just one class for j-term, accounting. She will get an A in the class because she does not know how to get anything else in school. Just A’s. Hubby and I think she should go to a more challenging college and one that has more areas of study that she is interested in. She loves this college because they have two wonderful piano teachers that she adores. also her frinz. She loves her frinz. Well, too bad. Pleeease send good vibes that she completes that application to W&M and that she gets accepted as a transfer.
Wednesday I was forced to go to the dentist at 11 AM. It was hubby’s appointment and he had a meeting so he called the dentist and told them I would take his 11 AM appointment. so I went there and fortunately I left there free and clear for another 6 months.
Then I disassembled the Christmas decorations. They are not stored ever so neatly in the basement. Just piles and full boxes up here.
I still have to clean up the piles of lights.
Today I went to Fairfax rink. Gosh I used to love that rink but now I do not. Many reasons. The ice is horrible, the bathrooms smell funny, the publick skate session is wild with stooopit homeschool kids… and a host of other reasons. I am glad I did not buy a 10 skate pass because I am not going to go back there much.
I saw that creep stalker Michael. I have not seen him in ages, like a year probably. He is just plain weird, and he skates awful. He never looks out for other people and just skates into people. Bleh. I ignored him. He tried to strike up conversations with me but I avoided eye contact. Finally when he saw me leaving, he decided he was leaving too!! He tried to talk to me about the kids and the wild behavior going on out there on the ice, when we were sitting on the long benches taking off our skating equipment. Edwin was still there so I just started talking with him about his son’s ginormous hockey gloves. That’s all about skating today. Mine sucked oh well.
No, I did not fall on my butt today.
Here are two pictures from Tuesday’s adventure.
It was 75 degrees here, very strange.
It is raining here.
I have nothing else to blog about.
Did you put all of your Christmas clutter away already?
What do you think is the best age to be? Why?
Busy.
I skated today, came home, baked a cake, went for a long walk and handcrafted a pizza. I am going to mom and dad tomorrow for mom’s 85th Birthday.
Maybe Blizie will come. She has to go back to the compound… I think we will bring her back tomorrow evening.
I will go and make her bed for her and get all her skul crap back in her room.
boy oh boy, lots going on.
Hey? Who is voting for Hillary? anyone?
Have a wonderfulllll day.
I will try to uppiedate with b-day pics laters this weeeeek.
Ohboy. Thank you so much for your prayers.
I left the house this morning after my dad called (using his cell phone, yay) He said they made it there at 5:30!
He woke up at 4:45, went in the kitchen and had a bowl of cereal, then he got mom up. They said they looked out of their windows and half the neighborhood seems to be up, or at least their lights on at 5:30. They were surprised by this. they live in a retirement community called Heritage Harbour. It is a very nice community of single homes… anyway, so they got to the hospital and mom said there were about a dozen others in the waiting room at that crazy hour!
Mom said every one at the hopsital was really really nice. She also said almost every nurse, orderly, desk person etc was FAT 
Anyway, they did the procedure at 8:15. She woke up at 8:25, rested for an hour and then she got to go home with dad.
Dad called me at 9 and told me everything went well, her heartbeat is normal again and she feels peppy.
The irregular heartbeat was making her feel very weak and breathless.
So, I arrived at their place at 11. We watched The Price is Right. That is mom’s favorite show and the tv is always on full blast when I get there.
Then we had lunch, my dad is incharge of the toaster. Then we blabbed and mom took a nap then dad and I talked about a zillion things.
Then we had a tea party (everyday at 3:30/4:00 when I was growing up and lived at home) Wow, I am sick of cookies. Seems like in January I am just sick of cookies and chocolate and cake… bleh. I forced myself to snarf some cookies to make them happy and had one pi- no, two pieces of chocolate.
Then at 3:30 I drove home.
Mom seemed very happy, much calmer. She told me that when she arrived at the hopital they checked her BP and it was “very high” but I am sure that was major anxiety there. When seh left her BP was much better.
I am poooooped.
I think I will go to bed early and maybe meet edwin at Fairfax tomorrow,
It is freeeeezing here and windy, brrrrrrr 19 degrees, but it was sunny all day, some snow flurries around.
My car is completely out of gas. I need to force hubby to fill up my car tonight
meh, I do not know what I am doing tomorrow. I will call my mom in the morning.
I bet she sleeps better tonight.
Do you eat a lot before you go to bed?
I cannot eat much before I sleep. I get hyper, so no sugar or carbs for me after 7 PM.
My parents eat cookies and ice cream before bed. I think they should stop that.. but I did not say much about that.
I had a nice talk with my dad as usual. My dad has some worry that when he gets “older” he is going to get demented and aggressive.
He told me this. I said I would take care of him but he is worried that he would get wild and crazy.
I said I would put him on pills
I am going back there next tuesday for mom’s birthday… unless something comes up that I should go sooner.
Thanks loads for the good vibes + prayers.
I have to go now. Zillion things to do.
I got this email from mom last evening.
She is having the cardioversion tomorrow.
She has to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM!!!!!!

Hi, We took a little walk around here too. It is getting cold.
Easy day today, shopping in the morning, stock up the house with goodies. (healthy stuff, no junk) With these holidays I have quite a few little boxes with leftovers, so this week we’ll eat mostly the leftovers, just fine with me. I don’t know how this week is going to be. According to reports this will be just a procedure in the Hospital. It will take one hour, and then one hour recouperation. and that’s all, you walk out of the Hospital!!!
Well, we’ll see what happens. Got a phonecall from the Hospital this morning, and they want me there on Wed.morning at 5.30 am.???!!!
Are they out of their minds? I balked, but they would not change it! The procedure would be at 7.30 am. Well, I’ll get there when I get there!! I’ll do my best. Dad will come along.
Well, if you want to come on Wednesday afternoon? for moral support! I hope things will go O.K., I’m a bit uneasy.
We’re gonna hang around tonight, listen to PBS with music from Vienna, and then later on the Ball in NewYork.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Mom & Dad
I am leaving for Annapolis tomorrow around 10.. so I will not meet them at the hospital early in the morning. I would have to leave the house here at 3:30 AM.
Dad has my cell phone number.
I hope everything goes well.
Be happy.

what exactly do you think this means?
... and may yor livez
in 2008
be nuthin but grate!
Today the temp is 50 degrees! amazing. and I am happy about it.
Hubby and I just returned from a long walk. Our last walk of 2007.
Tonight, I am going to do a lot of ADD stuff, like watch Harry Potter 5, draw a little, eat snax, read the ownership booklet to my new Blackberry Pearl phone thing, and maybe finish a sewing project.
I feel like cleaning up Christmas.
I need to vacuum.
and dust.
I think I will wait with the cleaning up Christmas until 1-6 as usual.
Parties:
I went to a party of the neighbors down the street a few years ago. She is very pretensious, the hubby is really nice.
What a weird party. One guy, some friend of Mrs. Pretensious, she went to high school with him or something, gosh he was annoying and loud and very drunk and there was a couple that had their house on Trading Places or Spaces, what ever that show is where you go over to your neighbors houes and redo their whatever room and your neighbors come over to your place and do the same (they lived up the street).. The guy was interesting, all Mr. Construction type and I talked for a while with him about finishing basements. The woman, she was dancing to the music and it was very strange dancing, something like Christina Agulera… really odd.
When hubby and I were dating, (about 100 years ago, in Alexandria Virginia) our good couple friends came over to hubby’s townhouse (I lived in some apartments on Duke Street and he lived in Fairlington) and we walked over to a party that was in the next neighborhood. I cant’ remember the name of that place. We could have driven but… there was a raging snow storm going on, so we walked. I personally did not know the peeps that were giving the party but our friends did.
So we tromped in the snow in shooz (I did not own bootz and for a long time I did not own a coat, seriously. I used to just run to where ever I needed to be. a coat seemed to me like just another thing to keep track of. eventually hubby bought me a coat for my birthday one year, sheesh) so then we finally arrived at this party… there was about 10 inches of snow on the ground… anyway, we walked in and I remember there were rugby guys all over the living room and the party was very loud and that house was very very full of people.
We went to the basement which was packed, there were people dancing and yakking. I thought I did not know any of this strange crowd. then I saw an old boyfriend, the one I dumped to date hubby. that was awkward but hey I was chill. Then… later I was upstairs talking with those rugby guys and ran into a girl I knew in high school. very strange. I was not drunk, however there was a lot drinking going on at that party that night. I was not the boozer type. We left that party… it was too crowded full of drunk people. we went back to hubby’s townhouse…
These are the two most memorable parties I have been to for New Years Eve.
I need to call my mom now and find out what time on Wednesday she is having that cardioversion.
Have a fun evening and just do not do anything you will regret later
