Appreciating Pet Photographers - Blog Entry

19 Sep 2008 01:21 PM

I'm with you, Aimee! They make it look so easy, don't they? Wayne tried to get one of all the three of us together not too long ago. (Of me, Murph and the cats, that is.) HA! Fat chance. He has even less patience than them. And I've been trying to get good photos of just Murph or the cats...HARD! It really is something to be appreciated how those pet photogs get some of the pics they get.

Wow. That's a lot of scooping! And a lot of lifting. You for sure got muscles just from lifting all that litter!!!

Oh no, Beth, what a funny story! I had to laugh because I've always felt I would be the one of the two of us to forget the anniversary, but...Hasn't happened yet. There's still time. And Alzheimer's/dementia runs in my family so if he sticks with me long enough I guess it might happen that way! Thanks for the wishes on Murph too. I got to pick him up today but he's got a strict recovery schedule in front of him. Poor boy. But at least he's back with us. Missed him! Thanks again for your comment.

7 cats??? Holy crumb! How many cat boxes do you have? That's a BIG chore in and of itself. Even when I worked cooking, dishes, and most cleaning fell to me. Wayne sometimes mopped and he did help with grocery shopping though. He's always been in charge of the yard. That's kind of his "dishwasher" thing. He has a very particular way of mowing and I don't do it right ever. (Even though to me I feel I do it exactly the same way he does.) Of well. He allows me my dishwasher quirk so I allow him his yard quirk.

Oh, is that where I got this from, Dale? You know, sharing's nice and all, but we don't have to share everything... hehehehe ;) I am better now. Luckily not the flu, just a cold. PHEW! Hope you are feeling better too. And I sincerely hope Wayne's learned his lesson and won't let this happen again.

I think he has. He felt bad, but I had to give him a break because it's been stressful lately. And I can't expect him to be as on top of things as me. (Oh brother. It's getting deep around here now!)

When Your Personal Love Myth's Been Offended - Blog Entry

Very interesting comment, mc8541a. If there were a woman married 25 years who still believed in love at first sight I think that'd be kind of sweet. And I'm not sure I agree that "myths are for daydreams," but perhaps I don't fully understand where you're coming from on that? Myths are a part of all of our makeups whether we realize it or not. Even the bible is a sort of myth. All religions have them. As do all societies. I'm not sure we can escape myths. Perhaps you're trying to say we shouldn't let them guide us?

Thanks, Michele! Yes, I'm grateful he came home. I was surprised to see him. He didn't say he was coming. He just kept saying he was sorry. And I gave up changing him long ago. Ain't no changing that boy! Still...I do hope sometimes, like I did about the ring, that he might surprise me. A girl can have her fantasies, after all. Right??? Thanks for the comment. You always know what to say to make me smile!

Your Personal Love Myth and Your Relationship - Blog Entry

Okay, so maybe I could've picked a better analogy, BUT...you never know. Some people don't discuss such things. Heck, you'd think a lot of people would discuss money, children and politics before they tie the knot, but some don't. Which I find hard to believe, but it happens all the time. And causes problems all the time. But, you're right, it might be hard to go 25 years without this coming up at some point... ;)

Thanks for your thoughts on this, lavatea. You bring up a very interesting point of view. One I hadn't looked at before. Thanks.
