i put baby in a corner
okay, so i'm STILL in atlanta and am staying in the marriott downtown.
there has been A LOT of thumping (like furniture moving) upstairs ... directly above me. A LOT.
and it won't stop.
not sure how to handle as i've already called room 767, posing as the front desk, and asked them to keep it down.
that was a couple of hours ago.
if i call the front desk, will they put two and two together and bust me?

poo
last night was my last night before my big trip to the south ... it was about 10:45 pm and lola was in our bed playing with us ... trying to solict as much human contact before my suitcase and i left this morning. she does do this every night ... but last night she was a little more wild.
i rolled over to read my book and before long felt a dog snout rooting around under me ... she was crazed. i thought, "did i pee my pants and not notice?" i am getting old, after all. i told her to stop it, but she dug in deeper.
so i hopped out of bed, turned to look at lola and was shocked and appalled. there were POO streaks and grass in a 12" x 6" square WHERE I SLEEP.
this has never happened before. NEVER.
we were super happy to have to get up, handle the bed and clean off lola at almost 11 pm ... especially as i had to get up at 4:30 am to catch a plane. the poo must have been there for awhile as we had to scrub it out of the crevices between her pads. OMG. shockingly, i did not gag ... just laughed ... and then we all went to bed. poo-free.

i may never use a public washer & dryer again ... even in an emergency
i am very tramautized.
i've been in colorado for a couple of days ... since friday ... and headed to memphis today for a meeting tomorrow. i got here early ... so i figured i'd do a little laundry before dinner.
omg. when i transfered my wet clothes to the dryer ... i found that some BOY PANTIES AND A SOCK had meandered their way into MY clothes. i almost vomited. i wonder if super boy knows he's missing his stuff.

Laura Bush: Palin lacks foreign policy experience
2 hours, 39 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - First lady Laura Bush says Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin lacks sufficient foreign policy experience but is a very quick study. (this isn't the SATs, we're talking less than 4 months to "study up" on how not to get the usa nuked.)
In an interview Wednesday with CNN, the first lady remarked that it's fortunate that Republican presidential nominee John McCain has foreign policy experience himself. (and what if he dies? will he leave her notes? will he talk to her from the grave? seriously!!)
Still, Mrs. Bush says she has a lot of confidence in Palin. She says the Alaska governor has a lot of good common sense, and the first lady adds that she is thrilled to have a chance to vote for Palin on the GOP ticket. (common sense? is she for real? is that what got her family into Bristolgate? Troopergate?)
Mrs. Bush also said that she thinks Palin is being treated unfairly because she is a woman. That, the first lady says, is to be expected. (what a bunch of bullshit. she's being treated this way because she's not fit to run a large city like NYC or LA, much less the USA, not because she's a woman.)

squatter
can't make this stuff up.
the attached picture is of a woman who squatted in my booth at a tradeshow last weekend for about an hour! i've had people stop and borrow the chairs for a few minutes, but never has someone stayed so long. and then she had the NERVE to pull out a BOOK. um, hi, we're trying to sell stuff here!!!
she is definitely worse than the four people that borrowed my table and chairs in philly two years ago to hold a MEETING. they were only there for 30 minutes. i tried to bounce them, but they wouldn't leave. i didn't say a word to this lady, wanted to see how long she'd stay. omg.

harboring a fugitive
i found a seemingly lost dog this morning ... she was hanging out in the middle of the street in front of our house. she had no intention of moving out of the way as a car came down the street so i called her over to our garage where i fed her and gave her some water.
she had a nice collar and doggie tags. however, the phone number on the tags was disconnected! she was from the next town over, according to her license, so i didn't know where to start looking for her owners. i secured our new little friend in the side yard ... poor lola ... she really wanted to play with "sadie," but i kept them separated in case she was diseased.
i spent the better part of the next hour talking to the oxnard pound, licensing department, camarillo dog pound, robin, joe and kristine ... had to come up with a plan to get this dog home!
i reluctently arranged for the pound to come pick her up. robin told me how to adopt her later if needed and take her to a shelter that doesn't destroy dogs. whew! (okay, we probably would have kept her at that point.) so, lola, the fugitive and i waited for the dog catcher. during the wait i wrote a note to the owners, with the pound address, phone number and hours ... i figured i could drop that by their house so they would know where to start looking for their dog.
mr. dog catcher turned up around noon. right behind him was a guy asking what kind of dog was being picked up. i told him a black lab and he exclaimed, "that's my dog!" turns out, he's our relatively new neighbor ... sadie got out this morning and they couldn't find her. he hadn't updated her tags since the move, hence the disconnected phone number!
so, sadie went home. i asked the guy to go directly to petsmart for new tags! if she'd had a good number on her tags she would have been home in seconds this morning!
