My brother is in Egypt for a conference and is, um, taken aback by the driving. Which, knowing my brother, is pretty funny.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I swear I heard Hazel puking in the night, but then I couldn't find it this morning. Maybe it was a post-traumatic dream about Homer, brought on by going to the vet yesterday???

Sometimes my cats will get hairball heave spasms but never cough anything out. And then walk off apparently feeling fine. IDK

Phantom puking is a feline talent.
Don't worry - you'll find it someday. Possibly in the worst possible way.
Was so far behind on Natter that I just hit recent- then I went back to Saturday to read the Triple Crown posts.
David - thank you so much for posting Laura Hillendbrand's comment. That was lovely.
(I would have felt worse about Smarty Jones - except that I love Birdstone so much. And I felt so bad that Nick Zito felt he had to apologize for winning the Belmont. Well, Birdstone sired a Derby winner and a Belmont Stakes winner in his first crop and what has Smarty done for us lately?)
The ones I regret the most are Spectacular Bid and Charismatic. Plus - Real Quiet - losing by a nose: rough.
I posted this on facebook but just in case - the Wall Street Journal posted a video comparing American Pharoah and Secretariat's Belmont Stakes. So damn cool.
I know I watched the Triple Crown races in Riva Ridge's year. I was lucky enough to get invited to a neighbor's house to watch Secretariat's Belmont on color tv. So perfect.
Then with Seattle Slew and Affirmed so quickly after that - I thought that's what happened - every year or so there would be a Triple Crown winner. I was so wrong!
But maybe- we'll have a couple more in this decade: wouldn't that rock?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

IJWTS I feel so put together this morning. olive green linen pants, turquoise top, oatmeal shrug, and my usual brown shoes that look like they want to be sandals but are closed toe.Ooh, I should wear earrings!
ETA aha, I have beach looking earrings with wood and shells. Perfect!

Love it when an outfit comes together!
I woke up with a swoled up eyelid. Booooo. I'm going to try warm compresses and am going to see my doctor friend later who says she'll probably give me antibiotics. yay. Ow. Ew.

Ouch! I hope the compresses help. Glad you have a doctor friend to consult!

Everybody should have a doctor friend! And/or nurse practitioner friends. Someone who can prescribe meds when necessary.
