What could be better?

I fought the bird

Today was supposed to be relaxing and wonderful. Its my day off. Yes its raining, but that can't stop a good day.
But there is one thing that can stop a good day. That item is a note from your dad saying that there is a bird in the basement. Now normally that wouldn't bug me, but when today is also laundry day and the washer/dryer are in the basement, that note seems to be a bit on the not-so-good side of things.
I made it downstairs with one load and got it started. Now in my house we can close the doors(sliding awful ones) to cut the kitchen off from the rest of the house and the basement stairs come up into the kitchen. So I knew I could keep the bird at bay... well at least just in the kitchen.
That bird came upstairs and saw our large picture window in the kitchen and thought it could escape from there. I heard thud after thud. This bird could not understand that no matter what part of the window it went to that it still could not leave through the window. It seriously broke my heart hearing the thuds. I called my dad and he gave me the number for our animal control. I called and left a frantic message on their phone. This was also after the bird escaped the kitchen and flew a couple of times into the big mirror in our living room. Animal control called me back and said they'd send someone out. The bird had flown back into the kitchen so I resealed all the exits. I tried to reason with the bird. I asked God to tell the bird to come to me and I'd take it outside. Have you tried reasoning with a bird? Well you just feel foolish. The animal control guy was here about an hour ago and got the bird out. She had left the kitchen and was waiting in the dining room. Now mind you, I had been dealing with the bird since I woke up so there was no making Katie look good. I talking pjs, hair sticking straight up, just nastiness. Good thing I did put a mint in my mouth before the dude came.
My nerves are still shot. I hear a bird chirping outside and I get all nervous that it could be in the house. Okie. Hopefully the rest of the day will be less eventful.

The quieter side of me

This is day 2 in my throat's assault on my poor worn out body. I have so much that I have usually said by this time in the week, but I can't. There's nothing that comes out other than (on a good moment) raspy nasty-ness. And that's only if I feel like responding to you. So I stayed at home today and watched Soaps, right? Far from it. I still went to work. What was I thinking? I mean I never answer the phone or deal with customers all day when I'm at work. Psshh. I mean I can always handle a few "I heard this song and it sounds like every other song, but it said Jesus in the chorus... maybe a few times and it talked about hard times and the cover of the album is definitely blue" or "there was a book on Dobson today about parenting, could you tell me what it was?"
Or my personal petpeeved on of the day... "my daughter won't read the Bible if its cover isn't pink." WHAT? What happened to a love of God's Word no matter what it looked like? Now I can understand translation preferences, but I don't like people buying a Bible because of the way it looks. Or attending a certain church because of the way it looks. Or hanging out with certain people because of the way it looks. You get my drift. Its the inside that matters anyway. Pooh.
Ok done. Glad I couldn't say that to the customer this afternoon otherwise I wouldn't have a job for tomorrow. :-/

Moldy Peaches

Here is the church and here is the steeple. We sure are cute for two ugly people.
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else... but you.

It doesn't get any better than that... well... unless you listen to the rest of the song.

Someday I'll come up with something as good as that... maybe even better.

You rock like a new pair of shoes

That's a new one. Yes a new one, but I like it. Surprisingly I got that from a guy. :-) Not surprising that I'd get a compliment from a guy, but surprising that rockness would be compared to new shoes... as in a great thing.

:-)

I am happy. Truly happy. Like from the inside out and it feels great. Ok so maybe if its joy because its not necessarily based on my surroundings. I can't even explain it. So I won't try. Nope. Not at all. :-)
In other news, I love using wireless at fast food places. There's something so surreal about it. DQ is my fav place to get the internet for my dinosaur of a computer. There's this one booth that I love to sit in and I can see everyone. Those coming in. Those eating with their families. I guess sometimes I can be a bit of a people watcher. But what's nice when I'm using my compy at DQ I can be staring just over the screen and no one knows that I'm really looking at them spill ketchup all over their white pants. LOL.

Wasn't impressed

So I went and saw Prince Caspian with my family last night. Now I'm not going to give away anything because I hate when people do that to me. It was good for just being a movie... but for being a movie based on CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia... yeah not so much of a good movie. I usually like the book better than the movie in most cases like this. I imagined Narnia definitely in the book. Also there's a lot of things I don't remember from the book in the movie. (wait that could be because they're not in the book).
I'm also not impressed with my family's new keyboard that I am using right now. Good thing I'm proof reading all of this because I'm making so many typos trying to figure out this thing. It has a wave in the middle of the keys. Its weird. And they don't type the same way. I'm not a fan yet. So maybe I'll have to write my posts on my laptop and then use my thumb drive to get them to this computer. I don't know.
I'm excited about one thing though... with Memorial Day being this Monday. That means I get 2 days off. Sweet!!! I only have to work 4 days this week!!! What will I do with my extra day? I don't know. A little nap nap and a long walk and a good book sound like the perfect day to me. Yippie skippie!!!
