Unexpected Revelation

While I was watching Sesame Street this morning...um, I mean, while NOAH and ABBEY were watching Sesame Street...I was reminded of a very important truth: Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may be somebody's mother.

And, speaking of mothers, check out my mom's response to my "hates" blog. She did a top ten "Christine likes", and I think it's pretty funny. (Sorry, I can't link to it.)

Bob



So here's our new cat, Bob. Yes, that is really his name. I know it's not a very good picture, but I wanted to experiment with posting a pic within a blog, and this was the one I wanted to use. (It was much easier than I expected, given my past experiences trying to do new things on blogspot...)
On a totally unrelated note, I have been editing my sentence structure more than usual lately, due to the editing class I am taking. It's funny because I have noticed myself doing it. It's good too, I guess, because we know I'm learning something. I'm starting to get really excited about the prospect of having a career as a copyeditor. I feel like my life has been on hold as far as a career is concerned, because I just haven't known what I wanted to do. But the more I learn about this field, the more excited I get that I could actually do this--and enjoy it! (Having said all that, if you find a grievous grammatical error, please break it to me gently. I recently told someone I wanted to "be hear" for them. Sigh. Butt wheel right it off, sense its sum thing eye don't due two much.)

Amy Hates...

This blog was inspired by Adam's. I tried feels, likes, and wants, but none of them were that funny, so I had to revert to "hates". Yup, had some time on my hands.

Selected top ten Google search results for "Amy hates"...

1. Amy hates snow cones.
2. Amy hates bamboo, mylar balloons, polyester dinner napkins, hot sauce, homemade soaps, high-fiving, gourds, futons and constipation.
3. Amy hates math.
4. Amy hates planes, just like BA Baracus on "The A Team," minus the mohawk and gold chains.
5. Amy hates the thought of being sold, but there isn’t much she can do about it with her uncle threatening her mother.
6. Amy hates the gray wall color her husband Craig surprised her with.
7. Amy hates being called a Diva.
8. Amy hates my black zipper shoes from Corea.
9. Amy hates this particular procedure.
10. Amy hates cleaning up cat vomit.
