a few things that were said out loud last evening..
and which immediately made me very sad, making me feel that i have taken a wrong turn somewhere in life.
1. "whose ass exploded?" [said upon opening the lid to the litter box]
2. "alright, elliot, pepperoni gives you gas?" [the neighbors gave me pizza. i gave the pepperoni parts to the cats.]
3. "aww, did elliot lose his cockroach?" [the sad part is that i truly felt bad for him. lost his cockroach.. awww. i spot one every few weeks. -for you non-floridians, it's NOT that big a deal here. we live with ants and with the occasional lizard and roach in exchange for 80-degree winters- the cats always catch them, luckily. last night elliot found one and pranced around with his prize in his mouth. next thing i know, he's searching frantically. awww.]
later, i watched a show about cancer on pbs. apparently i'm a glutton for sadness, but only when there's no law & order on. all i could think after curling up into a ball in my bathrobe and crying was - wow. people don't always suck, i guess. the support these folks gave to their dying children and husbands was.. amazing.. touching.. it made me hope very much that i have my own loved ones someday. it's a nice thought, isn't it?
