Posing for life 365

I said, "Crap I need a picture for today and Caitlin quietly suggested this:

Letters from Caitlin

Caitlin usually leaves me little notes on my board at work when I'm gone.
I actually saw her this time.

Dinner at Liberatore's

Ok-this may not translate that well because it was a dark-dark room, but this was the soft crab platter I had tonight. It was two soft shell crabs in an awesome sauce with mashed potatoes.
Yum!

The Cane

This is the cane I bought myself when I fell on my back a few months ago. I never had the stones to walk around in public with it. I guess I just didn't hurt badly enough. Some times if I've had enough beer's I'll do a nice "House" impression.

Dinner at Linda's House

Dinner at Linda's tonight.
Thank God someone feeds me or it would have been pizza again!

If you really have to ask...

So I was at the incredibly happening Westminster mall waiting for the girl I wanted to cut my hair finish with a never ending color for some girl, and to kill some time I went into the "Border's Outlet" or whatever it's called.

If you NEED a manual on how to blog...TRUST ME, none of us need to read it.

I really miss my Dad sometimes...

I downloaded a cd last night and one of the songs on it really made me remember just how much I miss my Dad. He passed just past 11 years ago the last week, and when I heard it, it brought back a lot.

I was actually not to far from where he is buried and briefly thought of taking a picture of the headstone, but decided that was morbid.
I decided a nice pic of a really nice day would suffice.
Anyway:Here's the song that got me going:

I saw you sitting by the window
Of a cafe i passed by
And though clearly my reflection
It was your face i recognised

And after all these years i'm still right here
Where you left me

And i've been calling out
Believing you would answer
But i'll try to let go now
Cause it's you running through
My veins

You'd come by when i was dreaming
But lately you've been gone
Maybe i've been trying too hard
And maybe you have just moved on

I guess there's not a lot that you forgot
To tell me

And i've missed you hanging round
And the way we were together
But i can't let go now
Cause it's you running through
My veins

Oh
It's you running through my veins
Oh
And it's you running through my veins
Oh
It's you running through my veins

Whispy!!!!!!!!!

This is Whisper. She's 14. I met her right when I split up with my Wife and worked an AWFUL job at The Maryland School for the Blind. That period of my life was my "Sleigh ride to hell"


I was working at the blind school and actually had a dorm room on campus. I wasn't allowed pets. I went into a pet store and this kitten MEOWED at me from across the room. I went over and asked to play with her. She wasn't very affectionate, and only seemed to want me to go to her so she could give me hell, but I really liked her for some reason. I think it was that she was so cranky-(I was going through a very bad divorce). I DID drink a lot back then.

I went to play pool with a friend and on the way home I told her I wanted her to meet a friend of mine. We stopped at the store and I wound up taking her home that night. She's a crab and I love her dearly. Her name is Whisper. She and Dru completely Loathe each other.

Drusilla

I had a friend go to Animal control when he was looking for a dog. They only keep the animals 3 business days so I try to go there since they hardly have a chance. While there I came across this cage with a big sign saying "BITE CASE". I looked inside and there was this cute little 3 month old kitten waving her paws at me wanting to play. One of the workers there walked by and I asked what the deal was with the sign. They said, "Oh, we consider a cat to be a Bite Case if they scratch someone and draw blood." I said, "Oh yeah...cause that NEVER happens..." The guy said "Oh it happens all the time!" To which I said, "That was my sarcastic voice..." I took her home a few days later.

Spike

This is Spike. If you watch the right TV you know where that's from. I got Spike in 2001 from Animal control. He was flea ridden and looked pretty beaten up but he cleaned up nicely. He loves to follow me around to every room in the house and make sure he knows where I am.
That spot there on the couch is his.
When I come home, the two girls want to be fed, but Spike wants to see me.

Black cats are the fracking bomb!

My pet chipmunk...sort of...

Ok, this is a sucky picture but I couldn't get a clearer one. This is the chipmunk that lives under and around my house. He's a living amphetamine.
I should do something to remove him, but he is just too freaking cute.

(The) Soup is good food!!!

How is it more people don't talk about "The Soup"? I actually find myself looking forward to it week after week and I may go see Joel McHale at the Meyerhoff next month.

Get yourself a nice plate of chicken tetrazzini and tune in to "The Soup"!

It's getting hot in here...!!!!

This is the house rented by the family whose 5 year old child is forever running around unsupervised. Apparently they left an empty pot on their stove with it on and the fire dept was called after the neighbors next to them smelled the smoke. Guess there was no smoke alarm either. No one was home. As of this post they are unaware the Fire Department was called. There were 3 fire trucks and 3 cop cars here.
Yes...I am Gladys Kravitz.

No...Pepsi is NOT ok.

Coke is seemingly illegal at the college I work for.
Whenever I have one people stare at it like I've done something I may be punished for.

Today I had a hankerin', so I actually walked about a mile to get some at the Farm Store.

BTW-what is so 'royal' about the Farm Store anyway??

Dessert

Dinner at Linda's house tonight.
Ashley serves up the yummy dessert!

What a wonderful day...for a DUCK!!
It HAS to be better than yesterday though.

Nobody home

This is my co worker's cube.
She works with me here at the help desk.
She's out sick today.
I hope she feels better soon.

"Super" G??

What the hell is so "Super" about this Giant anyway? It's the same as any I have ever been in. In fact, they have some serious crap produce here. How can an area with so many farms have such bad produce anyway?

Your own...personal...zombie...

This is my Zombie.
It was a gift from Cy.
She says I have an unnatural obsession with them.

Ripping

Spent some serious time today trying to get more CDs ripped to my hard drive and put away.


TOO MUCH CLUTTER!!

Can someone hurry with that 100 Terrabyte Hard Drive So I can dump the DVDs??

So that's where it's been!!!

Lordy Moses!
So I went today. I was on the treadmill at a low speed for 45 minutes.
I guess that's ok since I haven't been in a year!

Ugh

You know, I'm too old, too lazy, and too fat for this.

Good Morning from Carroll County!

If you don't live out here, you probably didn't wake up to this. Sometimes it snows in April.

The first post

Ok so this is my own little life 365 project as requested by Geri.
Just a little image of a typical day.
