So my dad finally got out of the hospital yesterday, and was in great spirits and ready to enjoy the weekend. Now he is back in ICU.
FUUUUCCCCKKKKKK!!!
Mom said he is mean as a snake and the nurses are scared of him at this point. She keeps going, “I swear, normally he’s a really cool guy! Everyone loves him!” I guess after ten blood transfusions (and having blood drawn every two hours) while being on a clear liquid diet can make anyone a little grumpy.
We are not sure what is going to happen next–the docs aren’t anxious to perform surgery. They would much rather wait and see what happens–luckily, they are all golf buddies of my dad so he isn’t just another patient to them. That helps a lot.
Anyway, with all this shit on my mind I haven’t had a lot to say lately and suspect that trend will continue.
**KCL heaves a collective sigh of relief**
Y’all have a nice long weekend–Liz is in charge.

It pleases me to no end that both our daughters are funny, clever kids, but today Laurel wrote something I had to share:
She was doing her homework and they read a story about a cherry blossom festival in Japan and what a big deal it is. At the end of the story, there were three questions, and this is how Laurel answered them–
1) When will the next Cherry Blossom Festival be? …Next year.
2) Why are people sad at the end of the festival?…The flowers are gone.
3) What could you say to cheer up the sad people?…Get over it! They’ll be back, people!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!

Leave it to poor dumb Paris Hilton: she was busted with cocaine a couple days ago, and when she was questioned by the cops said she “thought it was gum.”
Jesus. And here she was almost (mercifully) finished being famous for nothing. Now there will be a trial and cameras will follow her going into prison and all that shit. We’ll never be rid of her.

God, how I hate Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.
Rumors have surfaced that there is a sex tape circulating, and she stars in it with some other chick. He is supposed to be in a couple of scenes.
1) the idea of watching either of those asshats fuck makes me want to puke.
2) “accidentally” letting a sex tape leak out is the absolute last ditch effort of D-listers who have sunk even lower on the relevance chart. I think at this point the Geiko mascot could get into a club quicker than those two clowns.
3) I am stunned they didn’t try this shit a few months ago. Usually the sex tape comes BEFORE the shocking plastic surgery (Pamela Anderson, anyone?)
4) I hope like hell they did put one out, because I can tell you right now what her statement to the press will be: I am a Christian and this violation of our privacy has embarrassed both my family and me. I am heartbroken.” Word for word. Wait for it.
In other news, why the hell was Kate Gosselin at the Emmy’s??? And speaking of “your 15 minutes are almost up, dollface” celebrities, I can’t wait to see Bristol Palin make a big fat ass of herself on DWTS.

Dr. Evil is in the hospital–ICU. Mom sent out an email to her sisters, best friend, and my brother and me at around two this morning.
Not going into too many deets, but his blood count is a 9 and was expected to drop overnight. I have no idea what is normal, but that was the figure Mom gave and she implied it was cause for concern.
If I am not around, it is because I am there. I’ll probably call BB later today and check in so if anyone needs anything KCL related either email Matt or let BB know. She is in charge.

The last few times I have gone to Owensboro I have noticed a fir tree on the side of the highway that someone is decorating.
It began with just a couple of ornaments–maybe four. I barely noticed it. The tree is sort of standing all by itself and it caught my eye with just the few ornaments, but I didn’t give it much thought. Next time I saw it, it had probably a dozen more, and was beginning to look very festive.
We saw it Sunday and it has probably twenty ornaments, AND there was a present underneath! Now it’s getting good.
Saw it today and there were TWO presents, wrapped in red!
I am going to pull over tomorrow on our way back from the gym and check this out. Someone is having a lot of fun, and I’m damned if they will do it without me. I want in. I am going to find a gift bag and put something in it and leave it under the tree. I will make sure and take the camera so when Matt gets home tomorrow night he can post a pic.

I finally joined the gym. I was a member at this place years ago, but canceled when we moved to Bardstown. It is about 25 minutes from here, so I was reluctant to do it but I am tired of being fat and I need childcare desperately before I lose my fucking mind.
I usually buy a month’s package at a local tanning place for unlimited visits, and I might go four times during the month. That’s twenty bucks.
The best option for childcare I have found is $35 a day, no matter how long I leave Brad there.
This gym has a super cool nursery with all kinds of stuff to play with and climb on, and the lady I remember who used to run it is still there. She is a plump grandmotherly type who brings in homemade cookies and when I saw her this morning I almost cried.
The gym also has tanning, and since I am a “re-sign” I get free childcare and tanning. The gym membership is $35 a month. Hell, if I don’t do the first work out or take the first class, I am still coming out ahead money wise. I could go and just sit on a bench and let Miss Mary watch Brad for a couple hours, or maybe I’ll just go take a long, hot shower without being disturbed.
Or, maybe I will do what I REALLY plan to do, which is go kick some ass and get back in shape. I am really looking forward to the step classes–that’s my favorite.
The goal: lose 15 pounds by Halloween.
But, even if I GAIN 15 lbs by Halloween, at least I have childcare!

How in the hell am I supposed to know it is someone’s birthday unless it is broadcast on the top of the homepage???? I just happened to remember that it is, in fact, BigBadJohn’s day today.
WHY he (like Snow) neglected to add his birthday to our little calendar here is beyond me, but I have a whole year to think of a proper punishment. All in good time, John. All in good time.
Despite my annoyance, I will wish you the very happiest of days, and I hope that this is a wonderful year for you. I am so happy to have met you, and am honored to be your friend.

You are one of the classiest broads I know. It’s an honor and a privilege to have you as a friend. Why you agree to slum it with ME, I will never understand, but I am not complaining.
Love you to death, dollface. Hope you have an awesome year. It is officially The Year Of Carla!!!!!!
