Carrie-on Baggage: Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

2 more days! 2 more days!
Let’s bring in the “Hate it when Wednesday’s!”

-I hate it when your friends’ hearts get broken. Not only does it flash you back to all the times you had a broken heart, you know there is really nothing you can do.
-I hate it when you are going on vacation at the end of the week and you have to try and feign interest in the work week until then.
-I hate it when you have to wait for things to happen, like I have to wait until Thursday to do the laundry and pack the suitcases.
-I hate it when you get all amped up for gardening and then nothing happens besides plants getting burned out and dying-even though you watered them.
-I hate it when I know something is going to happen on a tv show (a really shitty something) and no one else wants to know the spoilers and I want to discuss all the angst that is going to come!
-I hate it when I don’t like the lunch I packed. Then I’m not excited about lunch all day, and usually that’s the best part of my work day.
-I hate it when I’m hungry at 9:05-thanks granola bar for totally sucking at your job.
-I hate it when I have to nag my husband to do simple things like figure out what he is doing for mother’s day, but I know I have to nag him because his mind is 1000 miles ahead of everyone else in math land and he won’t do it otherwise.
-I hate it when the online flower places lie about their prices and stick you with a huge service charge when you check out. Could we just get the real price please?
-I hate it when I have a bajillion things to do before I can relax on my vacation and no time to do them.
-I hate it when I have to leave the furbabies for an extended period of time. I miss them.
-I hate it when I get stuck behind the crippled people in the narrow hallways at work, I have to try to walk behind them and not ride up on them and sigh about them going to slow.

Okay that’s enough for today!
Here’s hoping I get everything done tonite I need to! Cleaning here I come!
Love (for my vacation to friggin start already)
Carrie

Please leave your thoughts and comments below-I'd love to read them! But if you're dirty spammy comments, I'm going to delete you.

About me

An almost daily blog of Carrie's ramblings that come from her baggage in life. Carrie lives with her disgustingly smart husband, amazing daughter bulldozer son and two Bengal cats in Colorado Springs. She is an avid reader and an obsessive television watcher. She loves to travel, sleep, snuggle and generally be friggin awesome. She suffers a smartphone addiction. She makes inane pop culture references. She hopes one day someone will give her a talk show where she talks about all the tv she watches, gossip she reads about on the internet, and life observations she has. Comments and followers make me blog more frequently, its a guilt thing.

Things you should know:

Hi All!
My name is Carrie and this is my blog-I know, you are so excited.
Please feel free to leave your comments below, but if you want to contact me directly, shoot me a line at
carriehellbusch (at) gmail dot com
I think that's the fancy way everyone does it so they don't get spam.
And please don't send me mean things. That would just make me delete this whole section and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on here. I didn't say I was a wiz at computers, I just married one-and he's busy trying to create Skynet...
Love (to ramble incessantly),
Carrie

About the Kidtens

I have two Bengal Cats-Bagheera and Willow. Willow is the girl and the spotted snow and Bagheera is the boy and the spotted dark. They are fixed so we can't breed them-my Pops is still mad at me for that. I would love to tell you about my breeder, but they were pretty horrible and apparently don't exist anymore. This could be because Bengals are illegal in Omaha (I live in Omaha's Sarpy County, which is not Omaha, it's an SID) or because they had 26 cats in a tiny corner of the basement stacked on top of each other.

Willow was actually our second choice in snows. We decided to get two because Bengals are notoriously active and we didn't want one to get lonely and eat our house while we were gone. Willow gets smarter every day. She recently figured out how to turn on the sinks, which bodes well with her love of water. She loves Seth more than anything, but has been known to cuddle with me too when I'm sad. She's a sweet girl. She also will NOT SHUT UP. If you wonder what a conversation with a cat is like, come chat with Willow. Willow is also known as Willow Bee, the Beezus, and Pretty Kitty.

Bagheera is your typical boycat. He sleeps with us most nights and we have worked out a "snacks for snuggles" barter system. He gives you love on his terms. Bagheera was born with a bad right back leg. The breeders told us that he broke it in the womb because there was too many kittens in the litter. The vet told us that he didn't know a thing about it until days later. So far he uses it like peg leg and it doesn't bother him at all. We talked to the vet about getting it fixed but the vet says the way he uses it, like a pirate, it wouldn't heal properly and he still would try to use it like he does. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother him so we are cool. The breeders told me they were going to put him down because they couldn't sell him and the price of the "surgery" would outweigh his "value". I practically snatched him and ran. They gave him to me for free. He has an amazing coat-show quality. I wonder if there is a cat show special olympics... Bagheera is also known as Baggy, Bags,Doots, Stinky Boy Kitty, and Buddy Bear.

Anyway that's me, Carrie-patron Saint of lost causes and handicats.
