Beautiful weekend in Portland. Now if I could get this whole school thing cancelled or just done with. Wish me luck with the grading (or gathering the motivation to grade after school!)

the addiction takes hold
I have a small addiction. I can handle it, but it sometimes prevents me from doing work (like now, when I should be grading thesis papers and regular homework and I totally thought I could do both at the same time, but I cannot). I'm even okay when I am not near it and I can lead a normal life.
I'm addicted to Grey's Anatomy.
I was a new convert last year during the whole Izzie and Denny and Meredith and Derek (because who doesn't love Patrick Dempsey? hubba hubba) storylines and I rapt pretty much this whole season. And then I learned you can watch them online. So I steal away to the Yearbook classroom, watch the show if I missed it and feel blissfully addicted and almost like I am doing something wrong, which I am not because it is my prep period, but I kinda am because I should be doing work.
But man, that show is good! I may be getting sick of the storylines and such, but I am still totally hooked. However, I will not resort to talking about characters and such here because I'm not really concerned about that. I just really like the show. It's entertaining, it lets me escape, and it's pretty well written for a show about what my husband calls, "sexy doctors".
Oh well. I could have worse addictions. And the shows online prevent me from going ballistic if the tape runs out when I set the timer (which happened last night). I never thought I would be one of those, but eh. Whatever makes you happy I guess.

how do you...
cope without sleep? I've been so sleepy lately because of lack of quality and quantity of sleep lately. I already drink coffee occassionally and would not like to be "dependent" on it. Right now it's a tasty treat in the morning or whenever, not usually a perk up method. Any tips for waking up during the day? I am so glad that it is Friday so I can hopefully get some sleep this weekend.
On a side note, we're back in the cat-sitting biz. Last night Annie (Kimberly's other kitty) became our new roommate and bed fellow. :). It should be interesting. We've only done this once before with Cleary's cats and they were so scared, but Annie seems ready to explore and happy to be with people who will pet her. I think it's for the best so she gets some love and isn't alone in her house. Never knew this would be such an intense cat week.....

long time, no write
Picture a warm, rich, sunny day, the kind that drips with happiness and smothers you with the feeling that you could do anything right now. No, I'm not going to turn that all around and say, that is the exact opposite of what I am feeling (but I am getting there with all of this cloudy, chilly weather - be nice spring dammit!). But my other beginning for a blog was a heck of a lot more depressing, so I thought I would put you in a better mindset.
Sad tides in the city of Portland - a lovely, but elderly kitty has passed away from our world and into the happiest of kitty worlds in which kitties get to eat and sleep and purr and do whatever they want - FOREVER. We are taking care of Kimberly's cats, Annie and BJ, while she is visiting her family, and BJ decided to succomb to what I like to call "the big sleepy". He has been showing signs of a bit of failing health lately, but unfortunately, I was the one to find him asleep in his bed and curled up, looking very peaceful. A sad Tuesday for all, because I had to call Kimberly and figure out where to put this peaceful kitty so Annie (the other cat) wasn't too freaked out. Now that was the hardest phone call I've had to make. Thank goodness Jason helped me because I was so sad and a little reminiscient of another "big sleepy" pet story of my childhood. Oh gosh, it was just so sad. I still have the image in my mind......school today was good because it allowed me to throw myself into something else, but I would start thinking about BJ and then get so sad. He's in peace, I know, but it still sucks.
Jason has this awesome picture of BJ from last August when we were staying at Kimberly's house. We were wrapping my brother's wedding gift and the straw from the basket was on the ground. BJ thought, oh yeah, now that's a nice laying place and plopped himself down in the middle of the straw. He was so cute with his round belly and proud expression - he almost looked like a bird laying an egg! That's how I choose to remember BJ. Even though he wasn't my cat, I still knew him and loved him. So go hug your pets tonight (if they'll let you!) and say a prayer or send good thoughts out to Kimberly and BJ.
