More lists....

Listen friend I am going to give you some unsolicited advice...

You SHOULD be listening to:
Voices-Madonna
Miles Away- Madonna
The Ting Tings
Any Uh Huh Her you can get your grubby little hands on.

You SHOULD be watching:
Weeds
Secret Diary of A Call Girl (Also Read the blog http://belledejour-uk.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html )
Dr. Who
The weather (it's the only 'news' related bit I can handle)

You SHOULD be reading:
Books, fuckers. I don't care what they are. Magazines are for chumps and newspapers are written for people with low reading comprehension (unless it's some snobby liberal rag). At any rate it is less entertaining than a book.

You (I) SHOULD be:
Outside writing poetry, reading and picking flowers instead of wherever we are.

Future plans:
Dancing in the rain (Eh what floods my flower bed is dry dry dry)
Seeing a movie
Living each day like I'm already dead
moving

Life's little things...

So I have a mo to update. Right now I like listing my life into lists. So I will have a few in this here post that you are reading right now.

Lori's List of Good Stuff Right Now:

-summer

-trip to MN. in July?

-Semi well behaved chillins

-burnt hot dogs on the bar-b

-movies and popcorn

-water fights

-sassy and slightly inappropriate Madonna

-Rhea is moving out (can I get a witness)

-dutch oven pizza

-misusing British slang

-KITTENS + Odie+ Bear=Cat Heaven (Hell?!?)

-$5 chocolate malts

Things that I can tolerate because they are part of summer:

-ants

-biting bugs

-sweat

-heat

-teenagers never mind I still loathe those.

I have become completely obsessed with journals. Unfortch. I am not entirely comfortable with sharing 90% of what goes into these journals (yes there are more than 1) with anyone. Partially because most of what goes into them is vented frustration and anger and I'm not about to put those bad vibes into the world. The main reason, however, is that I am sure that most people could give piss all about my life.

I suppose I could re update what has been going on with Los gatos. Do you really care? Fuck it. Pointless stories/posts are what I am all about. Now where to start?

OK, well when a cat goes into heat she is ready to...no no only kidding.

The story is:

-Odie got her slut ass knocked up

-Odie got huge and needy

-Odie popped out 7 beauts.

-Odie had surgery to remove her girl parts because she retained two placenti and shit was gooey in there

-Odie's shit got reinfected

-Odie runs out of "juice" is in pain

-Lori shoots disinfectant into Odie's incision and shoves pills down her throat

This-plus-that-plus-this-and-that ba-da-bing ba-da-boom $400 dollar vet bill. Ri-fucking-diculous. Lesson learned get your cats lady parts worked on BEFORE she gets all Jamie Lynn Spears on your ass.

So Odie is still recovering and I have no idea is she needs another surgery we shall see next Wednesday. She seems to be doing better but that could be because she's no longer fucked up on pain meds.

I am in serious need of a vacation again. Our family trip to Hannibal was cancelled due to the fact that my sister decided to move out. However, I hopefully, am going to Minneapolis in July. Then a move in August. Until then I have the birth of some kittens to look forward to. I can't wait, I LOVE baby kitties.

Lovely times, indeed...

Bad news likes to hit my family in bursts. My dad is hopefully on his way to my Uncle Joe's to recover from having two more stints put in his heart. The reason why he is not returning to the unfortunately newly built house is because Ang decided that this week was probably the best time in the world to leave him. So not only does he have to recover from the stints he also has to deal with that. It all seems so worthless...like what was the point of them breaking up my family and hers if she's just going to bail on him. It sucks that he has to go through this while he is dealing with his heart troubles. Jesus he stopped smoking, has improved his diet but he is still having blockages and problems. Well on the brighter side at least it wasn't open heart surgery.
Heart disease sucks!

Wow...It's been a while.

Well let's see first things first. Iowa City was fun. It was nice to see friends again. It's also bittersweet because not all of my loved ones were there. Friday night we just hung out at Fitzy's and caught up. Saturday night was insane. We went to the fieldhouse and like usual there were about 12,000 people in there. I was supposed to go see my sweet Jill at the mill, but ended up calling it an early night around midnight because the bar became unbearable and I felt like an old hag. Which is sad because I doubt very much that I get to see Jill, Spagz, and Sexypants ever again.
Fast forward a month or so and my life is back to the same old boring shit. I am starting to save money to get the eff out of here. I just don't know where to yet. The original plan of moving to Minneapolis seems like a good one, but I'm still kinda iffy about living in a city that gets more snow than Iowa. I need to move to a mild climate that isn't too hot and doesn't have snow. Is there such a place? Hopefully there will be a visit to Minneapolis this summer so I can check it out. If it seems affordable and so cool that I can overlook the winter I will move there. I kinda just want to get the eff outta the Midwest, ya know?
The Kiddos and I have been spending a lot of time in the Scholte garden again now that it is nice again. We will have to start walking out the cemetery too. My cat Odie is pregnant because I suck and didn't get her fixed. Oops. Bob Barker would be so disappointed.

Happy Easter

Happy Jesus rebirth day! Yesterday was Riley's bday...he's four. This weekend it is off to Iowa City to hang out with the old gang!!! Nothing else new to report!
xoxoxo, L. Pistol!

Shitty indeed...

If winter lasts any longer I may misplace my mind. Not to mention everything that could go wrong at my house is going wrong. It's been a pretty sweet winter all around. In other news I bought all my reunion mates some super sweet gifts. I also got some new shades, new clothes, some spanx and treated myself to the MIA paper planes homeland security remixes, which are of course, crazy and delicious.
Well that is all...
Peace, L.
