Sitting here contemplating the ceiling tiles. Conference calls always do that to me. Got me started on odd numbers in my life:

• 9 cats – Not me! My sister
• 22 pinball machines – yup we have 22 of them. Just bought the 22nd on eBay the other day
• 5 cptrs – Total number of computers in the house for 2 people
• 321 CDs – We buy used mainly. Seriously considering getting an IPOD to help with the daily music selection..
• 5 sets of dishes – Happens when your folks go to a lot of auctions
• 6 pairs of headphones – only got one set of ears?
• 9 domains – what can I say?
• 14 email addresses – hmm… need to consolidate
• 17 years – SO monogamous
• 1 Christmas tree – yup still up and gets used as a night light

Friend of mine just had a little boy. He’s a little peanut. Dad is proud and Mom is doing fine. I’ve seen him and he’s a real cutie. Dad handed me a CD full of pics. Dad is just awful at taking pics but Mom on the other hand, has some real good ones of Dad and Son. Got a little misty-eyed going thru them. Big sister is adapting well.

I’ve been having conversations in my head for days. Things I’d like to write down. But when it comes to sitting in front of the computer, I tend to go into work mode. The little things in life are rather puzzling. Like why does someone laugh? What did I say to make them smile? What can I repeat to get that twinkle in the eye and quirk of a smile? What makes me laugh? What makes you laugh?

I’m tired of the “Bug Wars”. The closer we get to moving, the less patience I have with the foibles of my current abode. Carpenter ants, tiny little bugs you can barely see but are in anything food, and crickets. My SO insists that we “capture and release”. I prefer the “squash-and-flush” method. Sometimes at night there are 4 or 5 bugs trapped in margarita glasses just waiting to be released.

We were at the house and he found a big-ass spider in the basement. A real creepy crawly. He wanted to capture it and put it outside. Made me smile. I thought Mr Spider would be rather pissed. Here he is minding his own business in a dark, cool basement, and suddenly he’s flying thru the air into the woods. Can hear him telling his kids about it…
