I'd rather be having a beer!

Arctic Barbie and Arctic Skipper

Blogger is being poopy and won't let me add pictures to my previous post, so here are the pictures I was trying to put in.

This one is Whit and I chillin' in front of my house: (further evidence that I can't smile like a normal person . . . .)

















And this is Whit and I on the couch!

I didn't miss her at all . . . . nope, not even a little bit!

It's a little difficult to be Arctic Skipper as a brunette, but I tried!

In other news, Shorty gets in tonite at 8 p.m. He left Monday morning at 8 to fly into Anchorage for eye surgery. Well, we thought he was going to have to have eye surgery, but the doctor is trying a laser cut treatment. Apparently, Shorty's eyes are starving for oxygen, so the doctor is putting 1000 little laser cuts - in each eye. *wince* So far, the count was up to 900 on his right eye and only 400 on his left eye, so he's going back in this afternoon to finish up the treatment and then he'll be coming home!!! At first, we weren't sure if this treatment would help the floaters in his eyes as the doctor reported that it was just to stop the hemmoraging, but yesterday Shorty found out that this will actually help the floaters go away, too!!! It'll take a month, but at least they'll be gone, which is absolutely fantastic!

He's been staying with our two favorite friends while he's been in Anchorage, which means that I've gotten a few goofy phone calls at midnite from Shorty and J, who've been enjoying Boy Time. J introduced Shorty to sugar-free Red Bull and Vodka and some big game hunter game on PS2 (I know I'm going to get hell for that one, but I have no idea what the game is. SORRY!) and Shorty introduced J to Distraction and Drawn Together on Comedy Central. My sincerest sympathies go out to K. Actually, we probably had this coming because the boys have had to put up with our (K and me) insanity when we get together, so I guess this is only fair. Still, I'm glad it wasn't my ass that had to put up with two rowdy boys!!! K called me at work yesterday asking what Shorty's favorite food was so they could order it for him, so it sounds like they're taking very good care of my cute boy. He even has a fuzzy cat to cuddle with! According to reports, J and K's cat, has been all over Shorty. Disloyal little traitor. Shorty, of course, thinks this is hilarious. We'll see how hard he's laughing when he gets home and Daddy's Little Princess (Ariel) smells Other Cat on him.

Speaking of Thing 1 and Thing 2, they've been very upset without Shorty at home. It's pretty pathetic. They've been moping around the house, sitting at the top of the stairs and staring at the door and wandering around the house looking for him. Even I haven't been that bad! ;) Okay, so maybe I have been having a little trouble sleeping, but it's only because that bed is so freaking huge and I'm all alone and every little creak in the house starts freaking me out . . . . God, I'm such a Sally . . . .
