• I've been messing around for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to upload pictures to a weblog entry with no success, and to change my profile picture-again with no success.

  After the last 48 hours, I finally feel like I can stop and take a deep breath.  I'm the only human in the house, along with 3 cats, 1 dog, and 1 kitten.  Andie's kitten has been moved in.  I feel like I'm just holding on until Monday morning when Matt leaves for a road trip with DC to shoot in Nashville, TN, for two weeks.  Sometimes I feel that his middle name should have been "Chaos" rather than Lee.

  Life in a snapshot-the Mandie (their Hollywood name according to Sam) relationship continues with its ups and downs.  I almost snapped at her last night, but instead chose to leave the room quietly.  With everything that was going on at the time (boys' friends in the room, cats and dog running amok), I don't think anyone notice how angry I was.  She won't come over at all while Matt is out of town which helps.  My deck should be done by Friday!  Buk and I will get our backyard back again.  I got a yoga dvd that I'm going to start doing on a daily basis.  Was doing it yesterday, and discovered I can now get up off the floor all by myself-no help from furniture needed-another milestone!  Matt confided to me that he is so scared about becoming a dad-"I won't know what to do with him or how to take care of him!"  Told him to remember one thing-when changing the diaper, keep the penis covered at all times to avoid being peed on.  Everything else will fall into place.  The sun comes and goes.  I bought MORE solar lights for the backyard.  Will have a field day this weekend decorating my backyard!  The ex was disappointed when I told him he was NOT going to buy the house next door to me to live in.  Matt said it was downright creepy.

  *sigh*

  I could have slept until atleast 7am today, but got up at 4am to have some peace and quiet and to journal.  The body count at that point under my tiny roof was 6 humans and 5 pets.  But one of them was Matt's best friend who I love dearly and hung out with just me for a couple of hours this morning before work.  We talked about everything and, as usual, managed to get into some mischief.

  Today I'm going to work around the house, do yoga, enjoy the momentary peace and quiet, and work on Tristan't baby blanket.  Tomorrow Matt and I take Buk to the vet-he has an ear infection.  We took him to the groomer yesterday which was an all day affair.  Sam and I took Leon the Maine Coon cat in for his monthly "manscaping" (rear end gets shaved and ruff around his neck is trimmed).  I have to go Friday to get my final furniture for my patio-table and 2 chairs so I can eat out there.  My patio is becoming another room in my house and coming together beautifully!  I'm so proud of it.

  Last of all, I have a new tv show I'm addicted to-"American Ninja Warriors" on NBC.  Even I can't believe that I'm so hooked.  But its got lots of guys doing parkour, which is something Sam introduced me to a couple of years ago and I love it!  I also put the dates for this year's Summer XGames on my calendar.  Not because Matt will be photographing the event like the famous photographer he is, but because I block out that time and stay home to watch the whole thing.  My favorite event, for some reason and we can't figure out why, is Step-Up.  Guys on motocross motorcycles have to jump over a horizontal pole that starts at 10 feet and moves up each time they make it.

  Sometimes I have to go into my closet, look at my massive shoe collection, and remind myself that I am a girly girl at heart.

  Hmmm....maybe this year I'll watch Step-Up while wearing my Disneyland tiara to add some girlyness to the evening!
