Carrie-on Baggage: There are two types of people--those who come into a room and say, 'Well, here I am!' and those who come in and say, 'Ah, there you are.'

There are two types of people--those who come into a room and say, 'Well, here I am!' and those who come in and say, 'Ah, there you are.'

Hi Blog Readers!
Sorry I missed you yesterday, but I GOT A NEW CAR!!! Yay!!! *does dance* It's a Honda CRV 2007 EX-L. Fully loaded. It's white. I kind of love it a whole lot right now. I have XM radio for 2 months and I'm am awed and overwhelmed all at the same time. There are too many stations! Around 250!
Oh and there is a sun roof. Now let me tell you about sun roofs-I'm terrified of them. I'm afraid I'm going to be caught in the middle of a horrible hail storm and have it the glass above me shatter and cut into my brains. Luckily Kathy and Seth convinced me I could pull that little protective cover over to keep my brains from being shredded. The only time I like it now though is on cloudy days because it gets too hot when the sun is out. But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. The best part is that Seth did all the leg work and I just showed up and signed papers. It was lovely and I have the best husband ever.

Yay Space!
This week (day?) is the 40th anniversary of the MOON LANDING! How friggin exciting is that? Also if you live in the Omaha area tonite something special is happing where you can see the space station…or something, I'm not sure, I heard the end of it on the radio this morning while I was switching around the XM and the radio.

TV
Not too much to report here, we watched Burn Notice, Design Star, Kendra, Law and Order: CI, The Closer, and lots of Kings. I loved all of them. I'm especially excited that Design Star is back, I forgot what a clusterfuck this show can be. Did anyone else watch it? I don’t have any front runners yet, but it is early.
I'm excited because I have lots of good stuff on my DVR for tonite, the Torchwood mini series, Intervention and Obessesed. Yay!

Sorry!
Sorry this is so short, but I missed work yesterday so I have to catch up today! Maybe more tomorrow!

Love (rainy cloudy days off),
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.
