Sunday, November 5th

Another quiet Sunday...

We all hung out in the living room talking about, you guessed it, the RAT. We are STILL laughing about that, and apparently there was a lot more to the story than I had realized.

Laurie had actually helped him out the next morning with the intention of trying to DROWN him. She had a bucket of water ready to go and everything, and with a CLOTHES HANGER, tried to pull it out of the wall by tugging on its BODY! That is SO GROSS. What if she severed him and his head got stuck in the wall forever?!

That obviously didn't work for her so instead she took the clothes hanger and got up right beside the rat and held back the electric wire that runs down the corner of the wall. It finally fell out backwards, but not into the bucket of water as she had hoped. Instead it actually got away, but according to her, its head was definitely... bent out of shape.

To that she said, "Can you just imagine what he's going to say to his little buddies?" And that's the thing about Laurie. She thinks everything in our house is HUMAN. Adella brought a plant home the other day and Laurie thought it "looked so happy" and "would he like to hang out in the living room with us?"

Work, work, and more work...

We had to go to KFC to get another one of those Zinger burgers, and for the rest of the afternoon until midnight, I worked on tomorrow's EB and on this site's content. I had no appetite for dinner just because there is so much that needs to be done. I did chat for a bit with that GUY I hadn't really connected with in several months, and that was nice, though borderline awkward. I hadn't anticipated that he'd be online.

I was most definitely ignoring him because of some really stupid stuff that happened a while back, but in writing the profiles of this site and reviewing what role each person has played in my life these past few years, I couldn't ignore the fact that he was a big part of it. I don't think I would have ever realized it (well, at least not so soon), had I not conjured up the crazy of idea of creating this website.

And that's the thing about this thing called "age". With it, we learn that all things black and white become a finer shade of gray each time we look at them. Yes, every once in awhile -- despite the fact that I've used the same word three times in two sentences -- I can be profound.
