100 Things Cont...

Well, it’s off again to yet another veterinary visit this afternoon—I think we’re just going to rent a room there. Poor darling puppy just keeps collecting afflictions like it’s going out of style. His cough has diminished a lot, but his nose is still awfully stuffy and last night he started having trouble with his left eye. It has a lot of discharge in it, and he kept doing the Popeye the Sailor man squint—all he needed was a can of spinach and a jaunty hat and the likeness would have been uncanny! By the end of the night his eye was completely shut and he was having a lot of trouble opening it, this morning same story. When he does get it opened it’s all filmy looking and I can’t tell if there’s something actually wrong with his eye itself or if it’s just covered in the slime! Either way, not good. So, off we go again. Our regular vet is out of the office today, so hopefully he’ll take okay to the new doctor since he’s a man. Jack is not exactly fond of the boys. Smart puppy!

Anyway, for lack of anything better to talk about and to take my mind off things I’ll be continuing on with the ever popular 100 Things List! Episode 11-20:

11) I pick up accents INCREDIBLY easily when I’m around people with strong accents. However, I never retain them and am happy to say that I’ve been told many times that I don’t sound like I’m from the South. Sadly, living in Arkansas every now and then a little twang will slip into a word or two.

12) I started highlighting my hair when I was 16 and I have had my hair colored red, brown, black, and blonde. Honestly, I can’t even really remember my natural hair color unless I’m looking at old pictures.

13) I absolutely despise confrontation. I will agree with pretty much anything anyone says just to keep from an argument. Unless of course I’m very close to you, then I’ll argue with you like crazy. It just all goes back to that whole contradiction thing…

14) I have 3 sisters—two older that live in Texas and one younger still in school in Louisiana. I love them all to bits and don’t get to spend nearly enough time with them anymore.

15) I have killed two pets so far, a gerbil and a purple Betta, and am hoping and praying that the pup doesn’t succumb to my dark curse. I’ve also managed to keep two more gerbils thriving FAR beyond their life expectancy.

16) I lived in the dorms for 4 years in college because my ROTC scholarship paid for me to live on base. I had a total of 7 different roommates and only actually liked one of them. Sadly, that was the year of “Angela’s Obsession with her Boyfriend”, so I never got to spend as much time with her as I would have liked. I’ve lost touch with her over the past year or so, but still think about her a lot and wonder how she’s doing.

17) I’ve been to Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington D.C. I also just sang the 50 states song to remember all of those! I’m getting ready to tack on a whole lot more in our cross-country trek to Washington.

18) Out of the country I’ve been to England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. I’m hoping to get to Canada while we’re in Washington and Italy sometime next year. I love to travel.

19) I adore old-movies. Special bonus if they were directed by Alfred Hitchcock and/or have Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, or Vivien Leigh.

20) I drive an ’03 Mazda Tribute and it’s the first and only car I’ve ever had. I didn’t want a used car so I saved up my money and didn’t have a car until I was 20. (I also didn’t have my license until I was about 19, but that’s a whole other story for another installment!)

Oh, okay, and just editing to add... Lost is completely INSANE all of a sudden... check out these links... (and what the hell is up with Jin speaking PERFECT ENGLISH in the promo for tonights episode???)

Hanso Foundation

Oceanic Air

What is *up* with this show?? I'm boggled I tell you... boggled... and a little creeped out by the Hanso guy to be perfectly honest.

I caught that in last week's promo for this week. I'm wondering what's up with that, too?

What is a Betta?

I hope your dog feels better soon. I took Reese to the vet yesterday and he had a fever and inflamed tonsils, poor guy. Even though his meds taste like pineapple and orange, he's fighting it. I have to bribe him with lunch meat.

[RisibleGirl]

Awww poor Jack. Maybe he and I can get a room together.

I hope your vet gets him fixed up really soon.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am a Lost fan as well, and eagerly awaiting tonights episode. Enjoy.

I had to miss tonight's Lost and I fear I will never catch up with the plot twists.

I missed last week's episode of Lost, but got home just in time for the one last night. That show is getting creepier. Whatever happened to the guy in the weird bunker? He was holding the two hostage....that's about where I was until this latest episode. So ahem, I'm so confused! Help!

[Claire]

I'm completely hooked on this show, we're way behind in Ireland though so I'm having to keep up with season 2 by downloading each new episode from the internet.

My addiction has forced me into a life of crime. The shame.

I hope the pooch is feeling better soon. I like the way you're breaking down your 100 things list to ten at a time. It makes it so much easier to absorb that way. I'm here from Michele's.

[InterstellarLass]

I hope your puppy gets to feeling better soon! That's too bad! Thanks for stopping by yesterday.

Ang,
You are so funny. I'm saying puppy prayers for Jack!
