Just another Thursday

So, regarding the suspicious car that is parked in the cult parking lot that my office window overlooks... it was still there all day today. Tomorrow, if it is still there, I will capture a photograph. I still could not get my co-workers to cooperate with the investigation. It's sad. Even the police didn't come back today... but there is movement at the compound... suddenly there were other vehicles coming and going today--I bet it has SOMETHING to do with that car. Yep, must be the case.

In other news, for those of you who drive Intrigues, let me make a point of clarification... it is the name of the car, not what you are supposed to create while changing lanes--MAYBE!! Use a blinker--and that goes for non-Intrigue drivers, too.

And since my road rage is not easily diminished today, let me just say if you drive a F150 (or its non-Ford equivalent), that does mean you have the right of way. I may have a Saturn, but I will take you out. I'm ALMOST up to 20 lbs on one set of reps on that bicep curl machine--I'm a force, baby... a FORCE!

Speaking of a force... can I PLEASE have spring? Dude, I don't care if we bypass spring and go directly into summer, but I may well suffer a nervous breakdown if it snows again before December.

And since I cannot seem to get warm, I now need to go make some chai... decaf, of course.

More shit that pisses me off

After two beautiful days, they are calling for SNOW in the morning. Today was in the 60s, so was yesterday, it is still rather nice out... and SNOW? Someone will have to pay for this.

Another thing is American Idol... can we just be over with that rot already? If I wanted to hear second rate copy cat singers with limited creativity and vocal ability I would pull out my Pussycat Dolls CD or hang out in Karaoke Bars.

There are some commericals, too, that have rendered me speechless in the last few days out of their sheer stupidity... but I really just needed to get the snow and American Idol off my chest. This should really just be a reminder to myself that I shouldn't get so excited to pull out open toe shoes in March and to charge my iPod so I don't have to listen to morning radio on the way to work.

Fever

Yesterday as I was leaving work, it hit me immediately--the scent of spring on the air. It was late when I got home, but it was also very apparent that the kitties were keenly aware of this as well and desperately wanted to get outside on the balcony to further investigate their suspicions. This morning at 5:45 a.m. they decided that it was also time that they needed to do some additional detective work on the balcony. When I did not move as quickly as anticipated, Bowie made a figure eight pacing pattern over my bladder and Calvin decided that his best course of action was to make a new bed of Kleenex on the floor. Almost needless to say, I was up by 6.

Jake has pretty much decided that if possible, he is staying out on the balcony today... Calvin, too, with intermitten checks on the happenings inside. Bowie and Vinnie concluded their assessment that it does in fact smell like spring and the excitement has rendered them asleep. Afterall, it is wet out there, and the other two may decide that they will tolerate that, but they are finding it rather disgusting, yet better than that cold, white frozen shit that plagued them in the last week. Now if I would only come to my senses and just leave the door open for them to come and go as they so please.

But, the cats are not the only ones excited about the warmer temps and the distinct scent that life is coming back to green... my perpetually chilled body and numb fingers are estatic. Besides, I love walking outside, and it is finally getting back to that point. It is energizing to me, and I want to go shopping!! Want to shed the winter ware in lieu of some springy dress that I know is still a bit too cold for yet, but optimism runs through me. Much like the enduring optimism Jake holds that if he presses enough on the patio door, it will somehow magically open for him... it has never worked, but he never stops trying it. And for those of you thinking, that is what makes humans smarter or superior, keep in mind I see humans do virtually the same thing all the time.
