I left work early today, came home, got Max and whisked him off to the vet. Yup, he has an ear infection, drops were purchased and the poor thing will get two squeezes of the stuff in his one bad ear, once a day.

Started talking to a man who was sitting in the waiting area, one thing led to another, and come to find out he's married to the woman my first ex-husband and I went to for marriage counseling. SMALL world!

Got home tonight and no lie...one of my dad's friends was visiting, well actually, most of the people that were "friends of my parents" were Mom's friends, Dad really didn't need anyone other than his family...but anyway. This is one LOUD man and he's a bit afraid of the dogs, so off Max went to the bedroom, where he began barking up a storm, Wolf's barking upstairs, the tv was blaring, the radio in the kitchen was blaring, and the guy was like Janet! Come in here and show me how Tivo works, and did you know it does this and it does that, and and AND... and Ii was like OMFG!! Get me OUTA here!!!

So I ordered them a pizza, made 'em a couple rum & cokes, picked up the pizza, served it and took myself off to Barnes & Noble, figuring I'd get some peace there

Sigh...not meant to be. There was the kid that kept yelling MOMMYMOMMYMOMMYMOMMYMOMMY and an adult with down's syndrome who kept making the same loud noise over & over and the man sitting next to me who kept sniffing extremely LOUDLY (because if there's anything that drives me more crazy than loud noises are REPETITIVE loud noises). AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Finally I mostly blocked it all out, thanks to the latest Stephen King book, "Cell". Before I knew it, I was 49 pages into the story. Know what made me buy it? This sentence: "He was naked except for a pair of what looked like brand-new Nikes with bright red swooshes." AHAHAHA! Maybe MaryEllen will be so kind as to explain why!

Seriously. I am GOING to go insane. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Sounds like you need a room totally cut off from the world!! Hope life gets a little less stressful for you.

oh, i hopw the doggie is feeling better...i know when i get an ear infection it hurts like a mofo!

Say it....You know you're dying to..."Calgon take me awaaaaay"
Hang in there honey!

"He was naked except for a pair of what looked like brand-new Nikes with bright red swooshes."

*SNORT*

That got me! Now comes the million $ question. How many American men walk around naked just wearing a pair of Nikes?

If you know, let me know. I'll fly over and take photographs! ;-)

naked with sneakers??? they copied the infamous photo of he who shall not be named flapping in the breeze with just his sneaks on leaning against the doorpost into the kitchen. lol. can you say: oh my word!!!!

hope Max is feeling better......

hmmm....New Stephen King.....Im going to have to get it now....

Ahahaha. Holy shit. I would have LOST IT!

IF you are going to go insane, can I go too?

While laughing hysterically at your pain I also sympathize wholeheartedly. I wish you peace and quiet today!

I picked up "Cell", but haven't started it yet. Sounds like it's a good read so far??

Just think V A C A T I O N!

I'm not good with *any* repetative noises, even if they're very quiet, it just drives me nuts! I'm reading "Cell" too :)
