Alex's first viewing of Hudson Hawk

Except for the kissy parts, he seems to be enjoying it.  This makes me happy.

Bunny, ball ball.

You won't be attending that hat convention in July.

Classic.

sophie and willis are now quibbling over who's queen/king bee about every 2-3 days.  before tucker died, they would fight rarely and instead spent most of their time dominating tucker.

i need another dog.  not a tiny puppy, but a larger puppy, like tucker was at 8 months.  the two of them can focus on the puppy instead of each other and the cats.

i miss my dog.

Hawaiian Tropic smell reminded me of this song...

One of the boy's favorite songs-

The Dead Milkmen

My Many Smells

Sometimes I smell like a barrel of rotting fruit
Stinking up the jungle under the hot tropical sun
Other times I smell like think black swamp water
That's backed up into your toilet on a warm summer day
These are a few of my many smells
Won't you come and smell me?
Won't you share my stench?
Won't you come and smell me?
Won't you share my stench?
Sometimes I smell just like the bathroom
After Grandma's used it and she's been eating prunes.
Other times I smell like a city garbage strike
When all the horseflies grow to three inches long
These are a few of my many smells
Won't you come and smell me?
Won't you share my stench?
Won't you come and smell me?
Won't you share my stench?
Sometimes I smell just like death itself
A sickening sweet smell, I could really make you ill.
Smell me (x5)
See me
Hear me
Touch me
Smell me (x4)


While headed to the bathroom here at work, I was assaulted by the distinctive coconut oil suntan lotion smell of Hawaiian Tropic (HT).  Blegh.  Not one of my favorite (or many, ha!) smells;  I'm more of a Coppertone smell kinda gal.  The HT  reminded me of oil slicks on the surface of the neighborhood pool in the late 70's, early 80's, and the leathery, oily super-tanned women who used the product.  My mom, of course, never looked icky nor stunk of coconuts.  HT was not allowed in the pool at my parents' house.  I only remember the yicky oil slick action at their pool once, from Aunt Phyllis.  She apparently didn't get the memo.  :)

Interestingly, I'm not a fan of pina coladas or flavored coffees from the Flavia machine here at work.  The French Vanilla smells like coconut to me.  Ick.  Coincidence?  Maybe.

good weekend, and you?

Miss Simone treated me to a show at Salt at the Redmond Town Center.    We were totally spoiled with reclining seats, booze and good food.  What a treat!  We saw "Bridesmaids", which was hilarious.  Simone kept shooshing me because I was laughing so loudly.  The soundtrack was awesome with Blondie and Fiona Apple.  Kristen Wiig is brilliant.

Also watched "Charlie's Angels" yesterday with the guys.  I forgot how funny and clever it is.  Alex was more interested than Henry, not surprisingly  I think the sequel is available on Netflix, so maybe this weekend we can watch it.
