I'm back! Sorry, had to do some of that pesky WORK! Ahem! And also post here and there about various things of course! TV Guide is making dark predictions about the fate of Moonlight and giving everybody palpitations (they announce tomorrow) but Eli Stone is supposedly coming back. That's nice, but it's not 'Moonlight'! sigh.

BBW If you click on that link, you can see the photo of the cat - what unusual eyes! I think that's terrific you got yourself a 'cat mother' Mother's Day shirt. My friend is a dog mother - she has 4 and calls them 'the kids.' Didn't mean to make anybody feel bad over Mother's Day - I know it's difficult for people who lost their mothers, don't have kids, didn't get along with their mothers, etc. sigh.

And youch about the broken ankle! Glad it's all better. My friend did something similar, she went to a 'doc in a box' and they told her it wasn't broken. Then later they rechecked the xrays and called back and said it WAS broken and by then she'd done a lot of damage to it - still gives her trouble. Sometimes I think it's a wonder we can walk at all, such tall creatures on such spindly ankles and two little feet! LOL!

Good to remind 'the younger generation' about voting and how women fought (and died) for sufferage and the right to vote. I always try to vote and feel very proud that I can do that. It's not a right to be taken for granted! Even if you aren't always thrilled with the candidates.

Wen wow, that's good news/bad news about the wheelchair. Your mother is such a drama queen! I hope she doesn't get weak before her time. I keep walking on my bum knee etc because I want to be able to. (My friend Susan goes up and down her stairs every day - so she can keep going up and down the stairs!) Didn't mean to be critical. Yeh, some people are just good gifters. My friend Heart of Ice has such a talent for presents and for wrapping them - they might just be little things but Wow! Your family is great with parties.

LOL Scottie bassetts are surprisingly tall when they stand on their back feet. My dog has stolen some of his (edible) Hanukah gifts off the dining room table in past years - I guess he could smell they were for him! Luckily he never got into anybody else's gifts. He's good otherwise about that stuff.

I didn't realize you'd met Lisa Edelstein! How cool. She's tiny? Do you mean skinny skinny or not tall either. She looks so tall. That's the tricks of television! I missed all the 'fun' parts of House - will definitely watch it tonight. That is the most interesting show and their weird dream sequence episodes are some of the best - I think they won an award for that one where House was telling the strange story to the medical class (with Pamela Anderson and the farmer and all that) - brilliant one.

I caught the last few minutes of 'Bones' when they shot David Boreanaz! LOL my friend saw it and said "Dang, now I have to tune in next week and see how it ends" even though she's never watched the show. And even though you KNOW one of two stars of the series isn't going to die! I liked some of the books that show is based on, but I never warmed up to the show. Tried it, didn't like it.

I didn't realize Satan Jr was an engineer. Yes, my dad studied mechanical engineering (and his brother is an electrical engineer, but didn't go to MIT). I think I might have liked being an engineer too, if that pesky calculator was invented sooner. But women weren't doing that sort of thing in those days. Maybe civil engineering - would be really fun to build buildings and bridges (but being bad at math - they might fall down!)

Oh that photo in NYC - there was a Roswell party in May to view the final episode of the season (forget now if it was the end of first season? Guess so). Then found out the upfronts were the next day and at what hotel and I stood in the lobby and watched all the WB stars walk by the paparazzi lined up to snap their photos before they went into the ballroom or whatever to meet with the advertisers etc. Jason, Katie, Brendan were there, David Boreanaz, Ivan Sergei, James Van der Beek. LOL, I remember Mr ML was extremely jealous when he found out I had seen Jason in NY, because I assured him it was only a fan thing and he wouldn't be there - I think he thought Jason and I had cooked up this plan to meet in NYC! DON'T I WISH! LOL! So flattering that my husband over-estimates my attractiveness to other males.

Yep, resisted the bread machine (good at making bread without it) and had an absolute dread of food processors! LOL! Didn't want any more whirling blades in my kitchen, although I know they are wildly useful (can make potato pancakes in a snap!) Heck, even making milkshakes in the blender makes me nervous. Nope, not a big fan of whirling blades. Doesn't help Mr ML leaves the disposal on, so when I turn on the water sometimes, it starts grinding!

Bachelor looked embarrasingly icky to me. I watched the one with Joe Millionaire but that was the only one. How wonderful that 'Dancing' was all on the Tivo Poddy! You are definitely making lemons out of lemonade, making the best of a sprained ankle at your daughter's place. (Your vacation in DC catsitting sounds very nice too - swank city apartment - very romantic!) Those Segways are the dorkiest things but they would get you around with less ankle pain/more speed. Walking in DC is so exhausting, the scale of the city is so grand. It looks like an easy walk from here to there, and then you realize it's MILES! Happened to us when we were there with the kids one summer (hot hot summer too).

Yes, I felt exactly the same about the little kid dancers - it's kind of creepy in some weird way. I guess like the little beauty pagent gals who are like miniature sexy adults - creepy. I think it's awful they are doing eliminations of them and having voting for a 'winner'. They are little kids, why can't they just come and do an exhibition. I thought some of them were more professional than some of the people performing on the show for real -ahem -and better sports. It is a pretty bizarre show if you think about it too much. Tonight's show should be extremely strange (going to be able to vote for the kid dancers, among other stuff). glad it's almost over with.

Phew, think I answered everybody about everything! Back to work!


Back to say the word on the street is that 'Moonlight' is being cancelled by the biggest idiot network on earth, CBS! It's not official til tomorrow though.
