Jesus Mary and Joseph!

Um cooking organic chicken sausages, which WERE NOT even burning, set off our fire alarm.
Piercing squeals like the tortures of the damned. Scared the living crap out of everyone. Except the Bean, who thought it was great fun. As she did the enormous thunderstorm that rolled through earlier.

Of course we input the code AND tried to call the company, but nooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOO the fire department came out anyway. And interrupted another couples' evening with images of burning houses and screaming people and cats. GAaaa.

(um I know I'm not in SF anymore, but I could swear the fire er person, woman, um worker, was a dyke. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking, I can't tell in the midwest, short haircuts just mean the woman are well, not into being girlie. I've mistaken a number of married women for dykes, like our petsitter. Again wishful thinking).

Now the call didn't get through the (security oh please) system before, when the farking GRASS was on fire from a blown transformer, but they can when a sausage is making a smell. I HATE ADT.


But, the fire person (scuse me but what IS the pc term here?)was really nice and gave us a quick rundown of what we can do to make the house safer. The Bean jumped up and down and ran in circles like a terrier on meth.

Um..me? I'm drinking a beer or two to calm down and smoking from that pack of cigarettes that's nearly a year old.


And um...[livejournal.com profile] thingiesent me this incredibly wonderful animated icon (I love willy wonka with a passion unknown to most who live in the flesh and Johnny Depp is a throbbing favorite)
which made me buy more userpic spaces. So, now I need
1)help with a freeware program that will create animated gifs (sorry I can't afford adobe)
2) more userpics. I have some Bean and cat ones I'll be working on for sure.

JEEBUS. I need another beer.

[livejournal.com profile] oakangel we should have our coffee or beer soonly and make a pit stop for my yearly cigarette stash. I think I might need them

if you have a mac, try giffun or gifbuilder.
i prefer giffun cause gifbuilder makes
the images look sort of posterized-ish.

I hope you take this in the joshing and kind manner it is meant:

but you are one of my favorite republicans :-)

Isn't Johnny a hot boyo? I just swoon over Edward Scissorhands--the story of my life for sure.

You mean you're only joking? And would it forever tarnish your image of me if I told you I am STAUNCHLY NOT a republican?


And I loved Depp in the Pirates movie. That was just priceless!!

ok now you confuse me, but I like that in a friend :-)

Darlin we have to dish about the politics. I confuse people as a flaming liberal who is firmly in support of the troups (my BIL is one thankyouverymuch).

OOO and I adore Jack Sparrow.
Have you seen him as Ichabod Crane (lurve those twitchy odd boys so much I married one).

Hee.. I like them too. I love the downpour and the sudden start when the thunder booms.
She just danced and grinned.

Her ability to deal with excitement is much better than mine. I hope I can take partial credit for this, not having subjected her to the need to suffer from PTSD.

She seriously squealed and ran to the window saying "more BOOMS, Bean wants MORE BOOMS"
