All systems are go for your message to Melissa!
Hey, Melissa!
It's your birthday!
I'm in charge of the stars
And I'm here to say,
'cause Melissa,
You're the BIG STAR today!
My name is Zoom
And I live on the moon
But I came down to earth
Just to sing you this tune
Hey, Melissa,
It's your birthday today!
A present for you
I wanted to find
An outerspace creature
A one of a kind!
A wild whop or a kukelchoo,
An apple drop or a buzzardstew
Or maybe a 3-eyed tickleshay
For your birthday
Did you ask:
"uh, what's a kukelchoo?"
Well, up on the moon it's nothing new
But that won't do for you,
On your birthday!
I searched behind the clouds and stars
I even zoomed my bike to Mars
And met my friend the saucer man
And he said:
"Hey Zoom I got the bestest plan!
What your friend needs is something new,
So how about a song, just from YOU?"
And so tonight when you're in bed
I'll be singing to you as I zoom overhead
Singing, Melissa! Happy Birthday
Singing, Melissa! Happy Birthday
Singing, Melissa! Happy Birthday
To you!
Happy Birthday, Melissa!
See you next year!

We shall call him...Mini Kitty.
Actually, we've been calling him Frank. He is staying with for a couple of days until Chicago Sis takes him back home this weekend. He was found covered in dew on a morning walk in a field. The vet says he is about 4 weeks old. His head is smaller than a lime.

New Favorite
Graphic description to follow. Read at your own risk.
I cut, no slice, my index fingers at least twice whenever I sit down for more than 15 minutes to make mini picture frames. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens. The miter cutter I have has an unprotected razor blade that comes down and chops the wood. I have to hold the wood in place and then move it and the scrap away to chop the next one. It is that move that causes me problems. I have to leave (I guess I don't have to, but it is now a habit) the chop arm in the up (exposed blade) position to slip the piece out of the way and insert the next one. As I move my hand away and out from under the blade, that is when it gets me. Usually in the exact same spot; a slice from my nail to my first knuckle. Not normally terribly deep, but enough to produce a nice flap of skin and plenty of blood.
WHAT, you may ask, does this have to do with a new favorite. Well, seeing as I use a minimum of 2 "bandages" several times a week, I have tried many brands. I opened a new package tonight and found my new favorite bandage. I have always preferred the Nexcare (3M) brand over the other leading and store brand bandages. Tonight proves no different. I tried the Nexcare Comfort Ultra Fabric Latex Free. What an awesome bandage! It is slightly stretchy and very flexible. It conforms perfectly to the wound and doesn't have those irritating corners/edges that catch and make it difficult to type. I type with all fingers as Mavis Beacon taught and have a rough time when I have inferior bandages on my fingertips.
Anywho. Try them next time you are at the store to pick up bandages. You won't be disappointed. That was all, now I have to go back to the frames. I almost look forward to my second slice of the night so I can use my new favorite bandages again!

Back in the saddle and other random snippets.
CK and I started watching what we eat again. We gave it up for about 2 years because we are lazy. It is time again.
I spent over an hour mowing (most of) our lawn today. If you are familiar with Weight Watcher's Points, that is 7 exercise points earned.
On the subject of mowing, we bought a push mower (with the gasoline and the self-propelling) a month or so ago. Much, much, much better than using the push mower (without the gasoline and the self-propelling). Sorry O-zone, I will try not to mow on "O-zone Alert" days (not hard to promise that, since those days are usually 110 degrees with 99% humidity).
5 days until a message from Zoom.
TTFN as Lisa from high school used to say...

What makes me physically ill?
When my extra hard drive, which stores all our digital photos, music, and much more that I neglect to back up, craps out.
Thank goodness for PC Inspector File Recovery. Even better, it is Freeware. When our SmartMedia card died during our trip to Niagara Falls a few years ago, I bought a recovery program - I won't even say how much - and only recovered part of what was on the disk.
I am spending today salvaging first our photos, second our music, and third any other files on the drive. This weekend I will spend burning CD's of pictures and backing up our music onto a second drive.
Sigh. One would think I would have learned a lesson the last time we had a hard drive die. Sadly, no.
