Friday's Random Thoughts

[dalthauser]

*  I may be babysitting a miniature donkey soon.  Someone on Craigslist posted a request for a temporary home for their pet.  I'd been toying with the idea of getting a pair of these at some point for pets; this would be a good opportunity to get some first hand experience.

*  It's rainy and cold here.  I'm wanting to finish painting my closet, but I'm sure it's not good to do that in damp weather.  I'll fix the leak in my bathtub this weekend instead - it's leaking approx 8 gallons a day (I have a bucket under the spigot and when it fills I dump it in the washing machine or outside into the blackberries so none is wasted).

* I finally got the new MJB CD Growing Pains.  She doesn't disappoint.  I don't care for Hip Hop usually, but I'm a big fan of hers - and this CD is mostly what I like to listen to from her.  I read recently that Mary is going to play Nina Simone in an MTV Biopic.  I got goosebumps because Mary J. always reminds me of Nina Simone.

Can I volunteer for donkey petting duty?

You live close - you could definately come over if she comes to stay here :-)

When you found an oppurtunity to donkey sit a minauture donkey; just exactly what heading was that in?

Our warm water spigot on the tub (that's a great word - spigot, SPIGOT!) lasts about 18 months, two years, and then i need to replace the washer. I've tried smoothing down the seat but still it goes.

It was under Pets (though Farm/Garden would have been better probably). I rarely go on Craigslist because I don't have time to surf, but I always find intersting stuff when I do.

Wow. That's a different kind of babysitting. Aren't they kind of high maintenance? I thought they had a habit of eating stuff they shouldn't. But then that kinda describes any domesticated animal so nevermind. Hehe. Good luck tho.

I wouldn't suggest painting in cold, damp weather. You can do it but you'd need to put in some big fans or something. That's a big leak. Wow.

I like that you do so many projects. I wish I was that industrious. I'm lazy. /sigh.

You might be thinking of goats.... :-)

I'm lazy too, but I have no choice. I really need to find me a man to boss around and do some of this stuff! :-)
