Carrie-on Baggage: A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.

Thursday, May 7, 2009

A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.

So they changed my Microsoft Office at work. I’m working on Office 2007 now and I have NO IDEA where anything is. It took me like 20 minutes to find the undo button. And another 20 to find the file menu, which is now some weird graphic in the upper left hand corner. On the plus side, I like how it looks all mod and fresh now. I like shiny new things. Even if they drive me crazy.
As if this day wasn’t going to be long enough waiting to go on VACATION!
What what? What what? That’s right-VACATION! To DISNEYWORLD in ORLANDO.
Pretty friggin exciting. If only I didn’t have a mountain of laundry to do, suitcases to pack and a house to prepare for our furbabies sitter!
Mom and I are going to get our nails done tonite at 5, then I’m picking up pizza for Seth’s master’s class since it is on the way home. Then I’m going to go home and try to get the chemical party of cleaning done (yesterday I straightened up).

I’m so excited to watch Grey’s tonite even though I totally know what’s going to happen and NO ONE wants to hear it! So I’m exploding with anticipation and discussion points.

Well it’s going to take me a long time to figure out how to get this from Word to my blogger page. It requires me finding the cut and paste function!

I will try to update from vacation if I can, we are taking the laptop so at least I’ll put up some pictures.

Pray for good weather, our house to be standing when we get back, our kittens to be alive and safe journey’s!

Love (my parents for doing this),
Carrie

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.
