Relationships are like....

Relationships are like cat litter in the litter box. You start with that new box smell and it's great, then someone takes a big dump and pisses all over it and you're shoveling the stink out daily but, it's never going to be the same pleasant box again... not until you replace it with new litter.

In deep

Hemet PD and SWAT On my block last week

Some idiot was shooting at my neighbors with a shotgun last week and this is the team that swooped in... and did NOT catch the guy.

Getting Married (Joke)

On their way to a justice of the peace to get married, a couple has a fatal car accident. The couple is sitting outside heaven's gate waiting on St.Peter to do an intake. While waiting, they wonder if they could possibly get married in Heaven.

St. Peter finally shows up and they ask him.
St. Peter says, "I don't know, this is the first time anyone has ever asked. Let me go find out," and he leaves.

The couple sits for a couple of months and begin to wonder if they really should get married in Heaven, what with the eternal aspect of it all. "What if it doesn't work out?" they wonder, "Are we stuck together forever?"

St. Peter returns after yet another month, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informs the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."

"Great," says the couple, "but what if things don't work out?
Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"

St. Peter, red-faced, slams his clipboard onto the ground!

"What's wrong?" exclaims the frightened couple.

"Come on!" St. Peter exclaims, "It took me three months to find a priest up here!

Do you have any idea how long it's going to take for me to find a lawyer!?"

If I were a cat

If I were born a cat then I would Saunter through this world with confidence and charisma...so beautiful and regal. Have the ability to survive in the wild or be completely domesticated and cared for.
I would give affection to, entertain and protect my loved ones. You would know my love is genuine because I would never fake it or spread it around willy-nilly.

I would, of course, be jealous of birds and fiercely protect my young.I would purr people to sleep,  nap in the day and stay up most nights.


Wait a minute....I think I am a cat!

For the Love of Mel

I Remember

I listen to the moments gone; I taste the view and smell the songs.
Swept away, in so deep, I remember what you let me keep.

The angels, the spirits, and the ghost could see, the light that came from you with me
When it happened, when you left, I remember darkness crushed my chest.

You come and go now like a glimpse, no longer rapt within suspense
We gave, we took, we cried, we shoved, and I remember we mostly Loved.

I know we're blessed I know you care, miles apart and still aware
What we are will never end, as I remember your soul my friend.

2010

Well, I've settled into my new place in Hemet. I thought I might have issues with the location but thus far, it's been great. Being so close to the kids has made life much better. They can come by anytime. The traffic issues of LA are NOT missed. Just going to the grocery store (which I didn't have many choices of stores, none of them good) was a battle. I might have complaints when summer hits, (which is Feb or March, here). I cannot stand the heat.
(yes, Mel has left the kitchen)
