Poopy butt and other news

No, not my own butt, it's not poopy, thank God! But little James's is! He's had diarrhea now for 3 days. He gets it every few months and the vet gives me pills - they say that he has an inflamed bowel or something like that. So for 2 weeks I struggle to get two pills a day down him. Sometimes we get lucky and he swallows it right away, but most of the time he spits it out and we have to keep trying again, but eventually the outside of the pill gets so soft and breaks open, and then he has all the white powder in his mouth and drools half of it out.

This morning I woke up to 3 little quarter-sized spots of diarrhea on the carpet next to the litter pan. When James has diarrhea, he pushes it out and then jumps out the box right away, but the diarrhea sticks to his little butt and drops off afterward. Yuck! And he has poopy butt that I'm constantly cleaning off. I've already trimmed all his butt fur so there's not as much that it can stick in.

I called the vet this morning and they said that because I haven't had James in in a year, the doctor wants to examine him. I have an appointment for the annual checkup for both James and Emma scheduled for August 16th. And they couldn't fit James in tonight. So tomorrow night after work we'll take a little trip to the vet. But until then he's going to have diarrhea for another day, and more poopy butt! My poor baby! At least he doesn't mind going to the vet, he's interested in looking around at all the animals and people. My little baby Emma, on the other hand, curls up in a teensy tiny ball facing the back corner of the carrier and just shakes. I feel so bad for her! Her every little muscle is tensed up!

Tonight I'm going to be so productive - yay! I'm determined! First, I'm going to finally do laundry. Second, clean up my kitchen and clean the bathroom. Third, straighten my family room and hang up my clothes in the bedroom. Fourth, vaccuum. And fifth, I'm going to work on organizing the pictures for the DVD I'm making for Little Brother and Future Sister-in-Law. On Saturday I'm taking the train out the burbs and my aunt is going to help me make the DVD, since she makes these things all the time.

In other news, President Bush started his vacation today - 33 days long - at his Crawford ranch. I'm so sick of hearing about his stupid Crawford ranch. I hate the word and I hate how he says it. And I wish I could take an almost 5-weeks vacation, too!

Other news: I didn't hear from Warsteiner at all yesterday! He never called to ask me about my interview or anything. Apparently when he's on vacation, he's not going to call me. Interesting.

I got an email today from a guy I met a few months back on match.com - I've always referred to him as The Iranian (he was born in Iran and came to the US to live with his uncle when he was I believe 14 or 15. He's really Azeri, but I already have an Azeri, so instead he's The Iranian. And he's so ridiculously pro-everyone-Azeri-living-in-Iran, so the name fits). He wrote:

"are you dodging my calls???????? shame on you.....how are you?...no love anymore for me :( what are you up to?".

The Iranian is about 6'4", very slender, and his face is so exotic-looking and dark, and he has amazing really thick black hair. And for being so skinny, he surprisingly is hung like a horse. I'm not kidding, his dick is enormous in all aspects. He's a funny guy and makes me laugh, but he talks alot, and all about himself. And he's really kind of flaky and a bit ditzy. Whenever I see him, for the first hour or two I have a fun time, but after that it just gets annoying with him always telling me the same stories, and talking about himself and how fabulous he is, and I end up stupidly feeling low self-esteem by the end of the night. Also, he has some weird views. First, he's an atheist. I don't want to be with anyone who believes that way. Second, he honestly believes that Ariel Sharon controls all U.S. politics and policies. Both national and international. Third, he tells me every time that I see him how Iran is filled with so many geniuses who can't find jobs cause there aren't enough jobs available in Iran. Geniuses. And that if the Iranian government would change, Iran could rule the world because of the genius brainpower of all its citizens. Yes, he is a bit strange. And annoying when he talks about some of these things. I of course debate with him, but he's certain.

So, I need to write him back but I think I'll wait another day. I'm so bad cause I never like to discontinue contact with someone. But at the same time, I'm dating Warsteiner and I don't really have any desire to see The Iranian right now. So I guess I'll just go on about all the things that I have to do in the next couple weeks and also mention that I'm kind of dating a guy. And say maybe in a few weeks we can meet for a beer and catch up. That sounds good. And also it won't be a whole night so I won't get all annoyed.

It's almost 4:30. I want to go home. Today seems to have gone so slow. I can't think of anything else even remotely interesting to talk about, so, I'm out...

How I Feel

"I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved."

"Desire is an entirely free sensation, loose in the air, vibrating, filling life with the will to have something..."

- Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

♥ I think that the most beautiful women I've ever met are the ones that know who they are, have stories to tell, ideas to share, wisdom to impart and love the skin they're in. No one can love us as we love ourselves. No one can take away our beauty and our dignity when we own those things. To me confident=beautiful. :: CeeCi

♥ I'd been feeling a little blue (for no particular reason) when I began thinking about things like attention, age and body image. Suddenly, it washed over me. I see people looking at me and I see them reacting. I began thinking about the times I notice the attention and realized its the days I'm strutting, the days I'm open and holding my head up. This got me to thinking further. How I perceive myself is what I show to others...People don't realize it, but they show the world everything about themselves in the way they move and act, in the words they say and the way they say them. A little confidence can lead to a lot of confidence. :: CeeCi

♥ When we believe in ourselves the world is an entirely different place and our place in it feels right and happy and healthy. :: CeeCi

♥ Remember that something incredibly wonderful is always possible!

♥ There are moments that are wonderful, if you let them be.

♥ Being distrustful put me in a very lonely place, a place filled with doubt and hypervigilance. I'm grateful I've learned to trust again, because in learning to do it, I learned to trust myself. :: CeeCi

♥ We're all a work in progress. I believe we will be until the day our lives end. Why fight it? I love the changes I experience. Some are certainly easier and more enjoyable than others, yet I wouldn't stop the process for any thing in the world. :: CeeCi

♥ We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way :: Gloria Gaither

♥ Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed :: Storm Jameson

♥ Love is everything. It is the reason we are here, and the wonder we take with us wherever we go.

♥ Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow :: Mary Anne Radmacher

♥ Just live in the moment, the moment you're in. Don't live two days from now. Don't live two hours in advance. Live now. And appreciate what you have now. Don't go any further. You have this moment. This second. Breathe it. Enjoy it. Live in it. :: Open Eyes

♥ Leap, and the net will appear.

♥ I've learnt that when we express our deepest feelings, even though we may stammer or be unable to find the right words, it always pays. It pays to be authentic.

♥ There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness :: Carl Jung

♥ I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death :: Robert Fulghum

♥ You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens. :: Ethel Barrymore

♥ Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. :: Carl Jung

♥ I will try to be as honest as I can with myself. That is all that is required of me. I'll keep admitting and opening my hidden box of fears, hurts and insecurities, again and again, until I know each one of them by their first name. :: Anu

♥ It struck me that there is amazing beauty everywhere. Does it matter where you are or who we're encountering? There is magic all around us. The fact that we're alive, the fact that we're living in this place and time. The fact that we've met the people we've met, all of it, every bit of it, only contributes to the wonder that is life. :: CeeCi

♥ No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the starts, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. :: Helen Keller

♥ Half of doing anything is believing that you can.

♥ Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which he wants us to go. :: Catherine Marshall

♥ Even if it burns a little low at times, the secret of life is to always keep the flame of hope alive.

♥ The three grand essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

♥ Some people will say that you are going the wrong way, when it is simply a way of your own.

♥ Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. :: Martha Graham

♥ Life is a series of new beginnings, and in every ordinary moment there are a thousand miracles to behold.

♥ When it's all said and done, when all the opinions have been uttered, preached, shouted, and shared, there is only one thing we can do: From this moment on...love.

♥ When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing. :: Christina Baldwin

♥ You have to look for the joy. Look for the light of God that is hitting your life, and you will find sparkles you didn't know were there.

♥ Be the change you wish to see in the world... :: Gandhi

♥ Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

♥ We each have only a limited amount of time here. We have to do more with it - pay attention, explore, be open to all of life. Because we have only one chance, we have to make life seem longer than it really is. :: Viggo Mortensen

♥ Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. :: Cadet Maxim

♥ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

♥ What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? :: Unknown

♥ To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. :: David Viscott, M.D

♥ Right now it feels like:...no dream will ever remain unfulfilled...no desire will ever remain unanswered...no tear goes unnoticed and no effort wasted...the hills are alive and so are we...each moment is fresh and waiting to happen...and there will be garbage like situations all around...but it is upto us to light mud lamps in it...and glow in our own acceptance and appreciations... :: Anu

♥ I struggle with not feeling like I'm good enough at times. Usually, its because I'm pushing it too hard and have depleted my reserve. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter how heavy or thin, how young or old I appear to others it's what I feel on the inside that glows through. If I could give every person on this planet just one gift it would be the unwavering knowledge that they are beautiful and worthy of every good thing the universe holds. :: CeeCi

♥ It's easier to buy into the negative things we conjure about ourselves than the positive things. Knowing that is the first step towards changing the thoughts that keep us unhappy. With time moving forward, why stay trapped in the past? All we have is right here and right now, I intend to make the most of it! :: CeeCi
