Hm, so I apparently am in a postin' mood today! But, I have a good reason for this one, the third post today...
I was reading a blog, I cannot remember where, I read too many blogs, the other day and in this post the writer said something about she thought it was strange when people talk to dogs/cats/animals. Seriously? If it's strange to talk to animals then I must be way cracked-up crazy. So, my question, do you talk to animals? Any animals, anyone's animals, etc.? I want to know!
For as long as I can remember I have talked to animals...and no they do not talk back, unless I've had way too much to drink. I remember talking to our dachshund, Holly, when I was little, I even talk to animals I don't know. And not usually just a "hi", but I carry on convos with them, ie "hey puppy, how are you?", "hello, are you a nice doggy...can I pet you?", "hi, what's your name?", etc.
Case in point, on our honeymoon, over 8 years ago btw, we went to Cancun. We went to this great place with animals and even within' our little all inclusive place there were animals there too. I saw a gorgeous parrot and I went up to it and said "hello" in that annoying bird voice, I know you know what I mean. Anywho, this bird spoke back...and it just cracked me up and you can tell it made an impression since I remember it so long after...this very pretty mulitcolored bird clearly and loudly said "HOLA" back. OMG, I snorted I was laughing so hard. I guess I forgot that I was in Mexico and they don't speak English there...why would the birds?
And finally with our Hopie-shmopie, she ran down the stairs and just looked at me sitting on the couch, laptop on lap, men's gymnastics on the tube. So, I promptly peered around my laptop and said "hello Hopie-shmopie, whatchoo doin', huh?" She cocked her head at me and sighed I swear it. I think she would if she could say back to me "bitch, I can't carry on a convo, so shut the hell up". After her heavy sigh, she pranced off to get some water then immediately started lickin' her hoo-hoo. Really, if that's all she's about, it wouldn't be so dammed bad.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm so totally glad to be back home I could wet myself. It's nice to be able to sleep in your own bed with your own pillows after 10 days away. It's wonderful to sit and veg and take a vacation after your vacation on your own couch. The happy licks of your excited Shih-Tzu greet you when you "rescue" her from the Vet's office (boarding place). So, yes, we're all very glad to be home. But...why is it when you do walk in the house your luggage stays in one spot for a few more days, only taking out the necessary items. Your homework is piling up since it's now mid-term week and your microecon grades suck. AND you now have all the work that you went to Vegas for piling up and being fed-ex'd from your sister...I feel overwhelmed.
The good thing is I have my follow up MFM today...something I've looked forward to since my first consult one month ago. Answers, finally...right?! Not really. I had a message, one of about 20 on the machine, from my doc, she politely said that they are still waiting on some of the blood work to come back and she now needs to run more tests on me when I come in today. Great...my mind started racing, what test(s) is/are missing?, what other tests is she going to run?, am I that messed up that these other tests didn't tell her enough?, will I ever have another healthy baby?, and why hasn't flo shown up yet this cycle? Oh so many questions and now I have to wait until 1 to get some answered then probably another month to find out more. I've said it before, I'm so not a patient person, so this is really hard for me.
I'll update when I get back from the aforementioned doc appt. It is nice to be home and back to my blog...I missed you all!
