cabenson | The one where I ramble on about about silly things

Hello Darlings!

The cats got me up extra early this morning. They were actually jumping IN bed to snuggle, but in doing so, their fat landed on my fat and woke me up.

So here I am.

We are gonna try and get some errands run this morning including our first spring trip to Lowes for garden stuff. Mrs. CB has been spending a little time each day cleaning away winter's touch and preparing the space for pretty flowers and such. And for the 8th year in a row, I am trying to decide what we should do with our back patio. It's an odd space, 10' wide and about 40' long. I want some cool lights and some sturdy furniture and a place for the small (desktop actually) water fountain I fought so hard for at our department holiday white elephant party.

Tonight we are going to see some friends perform in "Company". I'm not that interested in the show and my rl bff is being dragged to it by her partner so we are hoping that we can help each other get through it. The things we do to support our friends. Of course it could be like that time

theholyinnocent, myself and our spouses were at Cafe Vivaldi listening to "Friend Me" and trying not to laugh out loud. I probably shouldn't drink before we go.

On a different note, hey fandom...WTF is wrong with you? Posting 63 stories to a com in one day? I suppose it wouldn't be bad if it was an adult pairing, (actually , yes, it would) but HP fic is usually underage and that gives me the squicks.

And SVU, I think we need to start seeing other people. For good this time. What a shitty waste of having Alex Cabot back.

And some more...Jessica Leccia is not an acting goddess that is gonna bring salvation to some crappy primetime show. She is good, but seriously peeps, this isn't her vehicle to drive to stardom. I hope she gets a lead on a decent show sometime in the future.

And that brings me to Otalia/Venice/DOOL/Crystal Chappell. Yeah, I think I'm over that. I really enjoyed the Otalia story and I doubt there will be another love story like that seen on TV or Web anytime soon. Venice, well lets's just enjoy our little break. Sure, I'll take you back when you start flashing twitpics of GoG action and pretty Osmond-like boy smilers, but it better be well written this time or we're done. DOOL-I'll catch the recaps and YT clips when I am laid up again. Just can't get into another soap. BUT!!! if you were to gay up Carly, I would reconsider. CC, well I think you finnally got the message that you needed to "simmah down" and you appear to be acting like a normal person again. Please don't feed the crazees. They scare me!

Scary? Where is my sock monkey fic?!

Okay more news. Mrs CB and I are going to Virginia Beach in June for a my niece's graduation and a mini vaca. We are staying in a small hotel one block from the ocean. I haven't stepped into the oean in 22 years. I am so looking forward to it. It will be an interesting trip, especially if the rest of my family decided to go to the graduation too and stay in the area. Thank god it's a short one-we fly in Fri afternoon and fly out Mon afternoon. Then I have the rest of the week off to recover.

Speaking of recovery, I slipped a disc in my back in January. I did two rounds of steroids and that helped it slip back in the night before my MRI, but it as still protruding a little. Did PT and learned how to alleviate some of the pain, but also learned that the back is pretty much a lost cause. The MRI report showed damage in every lumbar disc. I don't even want to know what is going on in the thoracic and cervical spine...

Well, I guess that is it for now. Gotta go get ready to run errands so I can get back for March Madness. Remeber when that used to mean Alex Cabot?
