Little Earthquakes : Grumpy Rabbit

Littleearthquakes

I was listening to NPR yesterday, the documentary on Foreclosure City. They were of course referring to Las Vegas. As they calmly described the state affairs...how the fire alarms beep from not having anyone around to replace the batteries. And the dogs and cats, abandoned and scrapping for food. How the mosquitos had taken over the dirty pools—the smell in the air from the rotten water. And finally... the people, desperate to keep their homes, and the extreme actions they are taking... I couldn't help but think about my rabbit, Dakota.

Niya's Four Day Diet

DAY ONE--PMS
"I will never eat again!"

DAY TWO--PMS
"Since the body is mostly water I will not drink any water all day to make it evaporate.
--The brain is 75% water. But I'll take my chances."

DAY THREE--PMS (still)
"I'll eat one rice cracker and drink 1/2 glass of water. I'll call every chatty girlfriend I can think of to burn off calories on the phone. If I pass out, they won't notice. This will keep me away from soap operas and the mirror."

DAY FOUR--PMS (means 'possessed, mucky, shorter)
"I just poured dishsoap on the sherbet. It was staring me down. It was it or me. I did what I had to."

When you look in the mirror a lot because you barely recognize your poofy cheeks.

• Fear based diets are in.
What do you think? Do I have a chance of making gazillions on this one?

Starving, Hysterical, Naked

Not me--at least not today. (Ho Hum, so boring.)

It's actually the title of my lucky journal. I won a 100.00 bet in it. It was one of situations, you know, the overuse of the male ear about the worst relationship of your life you didn't know you were in. Finally, he said, after the gazillionth break up and my saying, "I won't ever talk to him again" -- i'll bet you 100.00 you will--no contact for a year or you'll owe me! "You're on". I'm always up for a good bet. But it meant no reading the usual emails and letters from monster guy that predicably came a week or two after. The deal was, delete them. Now that, I'll admit was a challenge.

Anyway, one year later I pulled out the 'Starving, Hysterical, Naked' journal where we signed the bet.
He rained a bunch of 20's on my head in the cafe. But how do you take 100.00 from someone who emotionally saved your life? I had no problem.

Later I got an email from him saying 'When does a man pay a woman to not have sex?" Or something along those lines.

This isn't really what I wanted to talk about.
But it's a good start.

Do you want to see a picture of my bunny, Dakota?

Ahh_dakota

He's more macho than he looks...that's what he would want me to say.


Have a great Memorial Day all!
