Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...Monsignor

My big hairy furball, who looks pissed off at all times, but who is in fact, not actually a jerk.

Woohoos and Eff Yous 2006 Style

Big Ups to:

• The Sadies, who along with their closest pals, rocked my world on February 4th at Lee's Palace.
• Marley And Me: Life & Love With the World's Worst Dog by John Grogan which made me laugh, cry, and helped me to understand that in fact there are worse behaved dogs out there than my Siris.
• My new dog-walker, Marie, who is not only pit-friendly, but who can miraculously handle my girl plus four other dogs at the same time.
• Hank Williams Sr, just because he'll always be on the "big ups" list.
• West Side BBQ, the local crackhead hangout by my house, getting put out of business by bikers.
• Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolais, my old stand by.
• Word Wars: Tiles & Tribulations on the Scrabble Circuit, the funniest documentary I've seen in a long time.
• My old high school pal, Mike, who I ran into for the first time in years and who I really, really need to call and hang out with.
• Good postcards from great friends.
• The good folks at Annex Cat Rescue, who hooked me up with the best big, fat, hairy, feline leukemia positive kitty on the planet.
• Monsignor, aka Moe, the aforementioned big fat, hairy, feline leukemia positive kitty.

And Booooourns to:

• The asshole driver who hit me with his car on Monday morning and drove off.
• The asshole witness who didn't even stop to see if I was okay.
• Cold weather and icy sidewalks.
• Being single on Valentines Day, even if I did take advantage of 50% off cinnamon hearts the day after.
• Online dating, where I will never go again.
• Spending too many Sundays in the office working.
• Having to fire people.
• Failing technology.
• Not having a car.
• Business jargon.
• Those jerks at OMNI 1, who moved the X-Files to 11:30 pm.
