It's Random And We Like It!

Another Wednesday is upon us and it is time for the Wednesday Night Bullet Post.  There were a few concerns expressed in the comments yesterday regarding the lack of kitty pictures.  As I am one of those Eager To Please types, let me see if I can scatter a few in tonight for your viewing pleasure.  I may have one or two shots of the resident felines...

*It seems that the tourists have arrived.  I was wondering if they were planning on coming this year.

*They were.  They were just delayed what with having to save up the gas money and all.  Today, they landed.

*They landed at the grocery store, if you want me to be really specific about it.  There were also one or two sitting at the traffic light just before you get to the grocery store.  I am assuming, given their not moving when the light turned green,  that they are just overwhelmed with the joy of finally getting here.

*I wanted to tell them that they were wasting gas just sitting there, but I didn't have the nerve to actually do it.

*I started a shawl today.  

*That's a lie.  I started it two days ago.  But today was the day I ripped it and had to start over.

*I did a pretty amazing job on the garter stitch border.  It was perfection!

*It was that first row in the lace pattern that got me.  The first, freakin' row...

*It's for the best.  I really should have done a knitted cast on in the first place.  I'm thinking that this was the Universe's way of pointing that out.

*The reason I went to the grocery store today was so I wouldn't have to go out tomorrow and could just stay home, maybe bake the bread for Friday's Fourth Of July lunch.  I thought that having a day to just stay in and be all house-wifey would be rather nice.

*I forgot.  There's that whole Joys Of Middle Aged Womanhood thing to deal with.

*Mammogram and bone density testing.  I still haven't heard back about the vitamin D test.  

*I'm assuming that no news is good news and that I am chock full of the D.

*I probably shouldn't assume...it isn't the first time my doctor's office forgot to tell me something.

*To date, she's forgotten that I was taking blood pressure medicine, to call and let me know that I had pneumonia and she couldn't, for the life of her, understand why I was asking to have another bone density test.

*She forgot that I have Osteopenia.  And early onset menopause.  

*She did not forget that I was due for the stupid mammogram, though.  We are the same age and due for them at the same time...

*They have recently switched over to digital mammography in my area.  Which means that there is a 236% chance I will have to have it redone.  Comparing the digital view to the old stuff always seems to result in them "seeing something."

*The doc remembered to tell me not to be overly concerned when I get that call.

*I am now back to row 2 of the garter stitch border on the stupid shawl.

*I guess I could bring that with me to the Women's Center as a waiting room project.  I can knit garter stitch pretty handily under most circumstances.

*Even while wearing a hospital gown.

*I did not knit on the sock today.  That is a waiting room contender, too...

*Hey, did anyone else see the advertisement for the X-Files movie?  I did not know about this!

*Can I get a SQUEEEEEEEEE?  

*I'm a geek.  I admit it.  I actually purchased my second cell phone because it looked like the one Scully used.  

*When I answered it, I would simply say, "Scully."  You know...like I was really her and answering my phone all FBI-ish, terse and professional-like? 

*Geek.  Very, very big geek.

Happy Wednesday, Folks!  The mid-week is now past us and there is naught but mammograms and weekend television in our futures!  In celebration, I leave you with this last shot:

I Can Haz Hed Skritches?!
