I Win! I Win!! I Win!!!

Dizzblnd over at Soggy_Doggy_Bloggy has presented me with an award! She received an award and in the time honored tradition of passing gas, er, passing along awards, nominated me.

This tag says I have to list 5 addictions. Whaaa! How did this take such a nasty turn all of a sudden? One moment I am basking in the glow of my statue, now it's some sort of intervention.

Still, shoulder to the wheel, stiff upper lip, off I go to my writers den in the southwestern wing of stately Sky-Dad manor. Ahh, who the hell am I kidding, there is no room, no wing, no manor. I write on a cardboard box while stealing WiFi from Starbucks... Nude...

My 5 addictions are, in no particular order:

1. Starbucks. Yes, the devil has it's hooks in me, I swear the key ingredient is crack!

2. Blogging. Reading all of you fine folks has become a serious time suck to my life (not that I had a life) and I love every minute of it!

3. Exercise. I like to stay fit, especially cardio-wise. Mom and Dad left me a legacy of high cholesterol and heart problems in the family, so I do some type of exercise daily. Usually a lot of exercise...

4. TV. We never get out due to life with a special needs child, so TV seems to be the source of entertainment. I watch a couple of shows religiously; Life, The Unit, Terminator Sarah Connor, Chuck, NCIS, and I just heard that the delightfully quirky show Pushing Daisey's has been canceled. Damn!

5. Surfing for video. Just look at my blog! Look at it! Chock full of clips that I find from all sorts of web-sites, friends, spam emails... Sigh, maybe this intervention is needed...

The time honored tradition of tagging more people always stops with me, I choose to welcome anyone who wants to play along.

Thanks Dizz, appreciate the tag!

And oh yes, this comes with a way cool new award:

    Ha ha! I love it! Hmm, I'm going to have to narrow my addictions down to just five?! That's gonna take some thinking....

    Oh, by the way, YES, you may have the stripper pole girl from my blog. Please take her off my hands - she's just gonna make me look like a spastic clown on that pole, I know it. I don't need the bar set that high!! She's yours. But I'm keeping the pole. :-)

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
