Things I Want Thursday

-
The delightful Sass has been running a Thursday special for awhile now, and I have decided to join in. Partly because I have no ideas of my own, but mostly because I get to use the new button Scope designed for her!!



It's a wonderful button, isn't it? I said isn't it!? Yeah, you over there! Pay attention!

I swear, some kids...

And I really need to get out more.

Which brings me to the things I want:

  1. As I said above, I want to get out more. We went to a movie last Saturday, that was the first time in a theater in months.
  2. I want to stop slowly gaining weight. I have always been slim, and now that my metabolism has finally slowed down, I don't like it one damn bit!
  3. I want the transition services people, who ASKED for Skyler to be in their program, to stop putting roadblocks in his way.
  4. I want the price of my cup of Starbucks to go back down, I feel like my patronage is being used against me.
  5. Last but not least, I want you to check your mailbox soon Sass, because I mailed you a present!

    Please tell me the movie didn't suck.

    And you are entered, in the contest. (Even if you haven't yet dropped a link over at Sass's.)

    *waiting patiently for my shrunken head*

    ;)

    I want my Starbucks to be cheaper too. $4.26. Yup.

    And now that I'm working, the coffee is that much more necessary. ;)

    I'm pretty sure Starbucks is run by Satan. Yeah.

    Candy: We saw Inglorious Basterds, and it was good, but intense.

    Scope: I loved it, but it was a bit too much for Kathy.

    Sass: The head is in the mail... And my drink went up 40 cents! That is just not right.

    Cora: I wish I could quit them...

    I want you to stop supporting that evil conglomerate known as Starbucks.

    Chris,
    Save your Starbucks cup and rinse it out. Keep it in your car. You can get free refills at any Starbucks.
    You're welcome. It's not going to help you lose weight though.

    Yeah, I don't get the whole roadblock thing. They want you, then make it nearly impossible for it to happen.

    I'm too chicken to see that movie; I think I'll save my cashola for the Starbucks price hike!

    I've noticed if you frequent a particular Starbucks enough, they'll throw in a freebie every 75-100 visits or so. I'm such a sucker for freebies like that.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
