Poor Bisous

Today Bisous got a bath. She was not very happy about this, but it needed to be done. She's so cute when she's all soaking wet and little. Because she has so much hair, it takes her awhile to dry off. I usually help her out a bit with the blow dryer. Yeah, she just LOVES that! Today I discovered that instead of trying to hold her still and dry her, I could just stand up and point the dryer at her and let her walk around and just follow her with it. (With the bathroom door closed of course.) I was very amused by this. I don't think that she was.

Better not to know

I watched a re-run of Greys Anatomy tonight. It has to be one of the saddest episodes ever. For those of you who watch it, it was the train wreck episode where two patients are stuck on a phone together and the surgeons have to decide who gets to live and who gets to die. I know people make decisions based on the best information possible, but I wonder if I could make a call like that, knowing I was sending a person to her death. Doctors have a bad reputation these days for being arrogant, but I have to say, it takes a confident person to be able to make the split second decisions that they make. Having a humble heart is important for all of us, but having a decisive and confident attitiude can be a very good thing as well.

Anyways. I thought the ending quote was interesting. Meredith said that as surgeons, they like to know everything, but as people, sometimes it's better not to know. Because though there is fear in the darkness, there is also hope. I thought that was an interesting perspective.

Seriously??

So this morning I woke up at 9:00 in the morning to shouts of screaming parents. I have a baseball field behind my house and apparently there was a game going on. Okay. I used to play baseball. In the summer, at like 7:00 at night. Who gets up early on Saturday morning to play baseball? I'm amazed at these people. Get some sleep. Play sports after normal people wake up on the weekends.

Okay. I'm done. Happy Sabbath everyone.

I know.

So, it's been a little while since I posted. The funny thing is that at least two of my other blogging friends have said the same thing in recent postings. No, I'm not giving up on my blog. I'm just busy and also on myspace!

This week has FLOWN by. I can't believe it is already almost Friday. But, no complaints. I'll happily take a weekend.

I saw the movie Walk the Line last night. It was very interesting. I find it unfortunate that the producer decided to spend 99% of the movie focusing on the difficult part of his life, and gave relatively little information about the 35 happy years after he and June finally got married. But it was interesting to know the story behind the songs.

Strength

Throughout my life, especially when going through a difficult situation, people have told me that I am a strong person. I always took that as a compliment and said thanks or whatever.

But today I started thinking about what people mean by that. I mean, yes, I have successfully made it through another day without giving in to crazy thoughts of jumping off a bridge or deciding that maybe I really DO want to get drunk. But does that make me strong? Everyone you see breathing around you has also made at least the first decision. If you are going to live, do you really have a choice, but to be strong?

Any thoughts?

Paul, you'd better listen. He's a smart man!

For those of you who don't want to be subtle

My friend showed this to me. It cracks me up. For the girls who don't like to hint around....
