Deer diary.

Simon just called. His parents live in Colorado and someone hit a deer in front of their house. The police came out and found that the deer was still alive but injured. They decided to put it out of its misery by shooting it, then getting the city to haul it away as it was in the street. However, the cops were a lousy shot. The shot the deer but only injured it so it jumped up and ran onto Simon's parent's property and died there. The cops said "tough luck, you're on your own" and took off. It seems that since the deer is now on their property it's their problem. This is also a huge three point buck. Not some little Bambi you can just pick up and throw in the back of your pick up truck. Anybody want a free deer carcass?

Smooch-o-rama.

Don't laugh but I just bought a new make-up product that I'm trying out. It's called Lip Explosion and it's suppose to increase the collagen production in your lips up to 339% and increase their size by 40.7%. Don't ask me how they came up with those numbers. I've been using it for two days and I admit my lips are a little bit poutier. They look sort of like I've been to sparring class and was punched in the mouth a few times. Except without all the redness and pain. When you put it on your lips actually start to burn and tingle a little bit (that's how you know it's working!), sort of like how your mouth feels after eating a really spicy curry.

Pond scum. Spa adventure.

I haven't been posting much because not much has gone on. No, really. I took time off of work to work in the garden. I weeded like crazy for the first time this year and got a bunch of crap pulled out. Morning Glory's are the bane of my existance and I want to jump and spit on them whenver I see them (even in other people's gardens, which as you can imagine causes all sorts of problems). In order to do my part to keep the west nile virus from infiltrating Oregon this summer I drained the pond. I drained it down to about two inches of thick gross algae, literally pond scum. I got disctracted by some morning glory's choking my banana plant and when I turned around, Trinity was leaning into the pond, paws sliding down the plastic liner, comitted to jumping in and seeing what was in the bottom. I barely caught her by her tail before she dove in. Yikes. That would have been one icky kitty.

Tuesday I went to the spa and got a facial, hung out in the steam room, got a massage and finished with a pedicure. Everytime I get a massage I get a screaming headache afterwards? What's up with that? I thought massages were suppose to be relaxing. I guess that says something about the level of toxins in my system. When I got home I had a late lunch and took some migraine medicine and listened to the TV for a couple of hours. It was blissfull. If I had the money I'd be at the spa every weekend. If you're in Portland, I highly recommend Dosha. Ask for Nicole for your facial.
