The Shattered Prayer

Everyone wants something different. Don likes his pork-chops fried. My mother wants hers broiled with lemon and pepper. K.K. likes hers barbequed. And who’s the cook? Me.

Mom was released from the hospital this morning - she’s doing much better. I’m feeling a little frayed around the edges though.

I just wanted to say Happy New Year to all the Chinese people and wish everyone a joyful and prosperous fire-pig year.

My mother began the year of the fire-pig with a fever. The pig set her on fire. She went to the hospital last night, leaving me to look after KK.

KK: What’re you doing?

Me: Reading.

KK: Why is it so quiet in here?

Me: Because I’m reading.

KK: Why does it need to be quiet for you to read?

Me: So I can concentrate.

KK: I don’t like the quiet.

I know I haven’t posted in a while, but the whole family has been sick - everyone but me. There’s only one thing worse than being sick, and thats when everyone else but you is sick. And in this particular case, everyone had something different.

I found out today it would take near-bouts 3000 Reese’s Cups to kill me. This is a theory I would like to test one day.

I am supposed to die in a horrible ceiling-fan accident, but since the Nightstalker decided to steal my modus mortui, I might opt for something more original.

Thats right, Cleto is one year old on February 11. He’s gone from looking like a weird, skinny, chupacabra to being a sleek, beautiful chupacabra. At one year old, he’s no less goofy, moody or mischievous. And he still has enormous feet.

He shares a birthday with Sheryl Crow, Jennifer Anniston, and Pope Gregory XIV.

Little ole me with my four readers was hacked. I think I’ve gotten rid of the malicious code, now I have to tweak things back the way they were, but for those of you who were wondering why  SP was all scrunched up on one side of the page with all the white space (R the P), thats why.

Anyone catch the season premiere of Lost last night? I’m thinking they need to boost the shirtless factor by another 12% if they want to keep my interest this season. Did we see even an inkling of Naveen in last night’s episode? No we did not.
