Past Praying For...

So I've been thinking a lot lately about nothing. I'm not sure how that's possible, but suffice it to say that it is. This post is going to be as scattered as my thoughts, I can assure you of that.

I babysat V. today, I love that girl. K. paid me in advance to take care of her animals next week while she attends her Ex-Husband's wedding (V. is in it and she doesn't want to go alone... what an awkward situation...).
ANYWAY, she was telling me how to deal with her dog, who is a sixteen year old border collie who is on Death's doorstep. Apparently, if the dear pooch dies, I am to call her to let her know, and Dad will handle it (This isn't strange, since K. is friends with Mom). The funny part of this is that I was telling J. about it since we were talking about animals. He replied that if the dog died in her sleep, he thinks that I should... ahem... put her in a box, wrap it, and send it to someone I don't like. I can totally think of people to do this to, but it'd be so completely wrong. SO wrong. Well, that's J. for you.

I just finished watching A Haunting In Connecticut for the second time tonight. I can't decide if it freaks me out or inspires me. I do highly recommend it though, it was absolutely incredible. I still have the rhyme stuck in my head. L. was right, it's addictive. One bright day in the middle of the night/ Two dead boys got up to fight / Back to back they faced one another/ Pulled out their swords and shot each other... It's just the right mix of funny and creepy... But yeah, so I was putting my cup of tea into the sink... I walked into the kitchen (all of the lights were off, of course) and I forgot that all of the lower cabinets were open, since we have a mouse and Jazz (the cat) is too lazy to get off of her bum to catch it. I walk into the kitchen and one of the cabinets brushes my leg... I FREAKED OUT. It was one of those moments where you can feel your heart STOP beating and everything just jumps out at you. Anyway, I felt really foolish afterward and had more tea.

R. went off to camp the other day. It isn't unusual for him to disappear for weeks at a time away at camps or family vacations... I am a bit miffed right now, though. He called me from Chicago before he boarded his flight home, and I left him a message back, since I didn't have my cell at the time that he called me. He never called me back... and now he's gone for a week. It would have been nice if he would have, you know, let me know that he made it back into the state without being in a plane crash... *sigh*. And since I know that you're reading this right now, Babes... I'm holding a grudge. And you need to get your yearbook. Thank you very much. (note the clipped tones implied with the extensive period use).

I feel like I'm at the brink of something. I don't know what, though. It's not college... I can tell that it's not... Or maybe I'm just going crazy.
