I survived!
OK so I got home yesterday and was totally exhausted, but I slept all night and I'm about to go take another nap and should be functional by Noon or so.. :)
In the meantime, watch this:
This was in DFW Airport about an hour or so before I got on my plane..

On the right side of the page it has videos, the one to click on is listed as "Waco's new record holder".
If anyone can tell me how to find the direct link to it or how to download the file itself (It DL's but I have no idea how to retrieve it) I would be grateful..

Writer's Block: First Aid
I unsuccessfully performed CPR on my dog, Lizzie this past March.
It was devastating to say the least.

What if?
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

I'm a nerd.
I'm totally into how certain things tie into each other. Especially when they are obscure and spread out over time.. It's almost like being part of an inside joke that not everyone gets. Sort of a geeky cerebral thing..
There's the Scrubs/Lazlo Bane/Colin Hay (Men at Work) tie in..
It started with Men at work releasing Overkill in 1983:
( Cut for lots of awesome videos )

Unexpected & devastating
I can't believe I actually have to do this. Again. This soon.
Quickly: Lizzie died about 2 1/2 hours ago. She wasn't in any pain that I am aware of, and it was quick which I am grateful for.
NOt-so-quickly:
We were just getting up and I was in the bathroom. I could see Fez waiting impatiently for me, but I heard a thud around the corner by the stairs, and was thinking "I hope she didn't just fall down the stairs." and as I went around the corner she was laying in the doorway to my bedroom which is adjacent to the stairs.
She was breathing and at first I couldn't figure out what was going on until I realized that she was probably having a seizure. It was nothing like Brody's seizures, she wasn't immediately drooling everywhere and it wasn't violent. She was laying on her left side breathing rapidly and her right front paw started twitching. Then she started to drool a bit and stopped breathing. I listened for a heartbeat but couldn't hear it. I tried to do CPR as best I could, and I was able to get some breaths in, but because of her extra long tongue, I couldn't get a good seal.
She lost bowel control and went into A-Fib. (Her heart started to flutter but was not pumping.)
I knew that there was no way I would be able to save her myself, knowing how Bonnie died (Her Mom, I posted about her a few weeks back when I found out that she had died.) I knew I had to let her go.
I always thought Fez would go first. He's 10 and has had his share of medical problems. She was only 5 and has never had any problems other than the eye injury. I knew I was going to lose Brody. This was just not in the plan. It feels empty around here without her, and I feel really bad for Fez because he's not been by himself since I got him. He's been by my side since we got home (I took him with me when I took her to the vets office) and has been very supportive.
There is so much to say but everything is all jumbled up and I can't put it together.
I loved coming home to her being so excited to see me. She would spin in circles and as soon as I got down to her level she would gewt up and give me a hug (put both paws on my shoulders) and kisses. She was my sleeping buddy. She would always be the one to get right next to me and want to sleep in the crook of my arm, if not right on my face. :)
She loved everyone she ever met, and they loved her back. There has never been a time when I ever had to worry about how she would react to people or other dogs (other than wanting to play.) so she was the one I would take with me to the park when I still had all 3. (When we moved here I took both with me so Fez wouldn't be by himself.) In fact, she liked to go to the park to see the people rather than see the other dogs.
I am grateful that I was with her from the moment she was born and at the moment that she went to the Bridge. She was only with me for 5 years, but I don't regret any moment of the five years I had with her.
I miss you, Lizzie.

Writer's Block: Almost Famous
Quickie answer before this disapeared..
FOr several years, especially during the height of his popularity (and his arrest), I had longer hair and apparently people said I looked almost exactly like Hugh Grant. While I can see some of what they are talking about, there's a huge difference. He's much cooler than I am..
When I worked for Bjork's manager a few years later, and about the time I met ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kibblets, my boss (and apparently Kip) said I looked like Scott Wolf.
Whaddya think?

Race for Wishes 2009
At the last minute, I decided to go ahead and do teh Walk next Saturday since I was graciously given the day off.
If you would like to donate, please go here:
http://www.raceforwishes09.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=292888&supId=248754222
(NO PRESSURE, NOW GO DONATE!!! lol)
It's a benefit for the North Texas chapter of the Make Wish Foundation, the same people that I did the Liftathon for in 2007. (When I originally set those 2 GWR's)
I think it will be interesting to meet the people that I was talking to about the event what seems so long ago..
