*sigh* legless in ft worth *pout*

well, guess what? after much coaching and talking and persuading and hoping and even praying, the stinkin things STILL don't have legs - nor do they have any signs of nubbies that could perhaps one day become legs. i'm doomed to have legless frogs. do they make wheelchairs for frogs that never sprouted legs? i should start looking for a couple.

i'm leaving for galveston early in the morning for a 'family vacation'. some of us - six, to be exact - are riding in a van. gee, won't that be fun?? i think i'll double my dosage of dramamine and skip out on all of that excitement. and if i'm drugged, i won't have to drive!!! but i *am* looking forward to laying out on the beach and *shopping*!! somewhere i have to find a beautiful suntanned brunette to bring home :o) HI, GUY!!

kenny chesney married the 'you had me at hello' girl. excuse me while i barf. and that's all i have to say about that.

so i have a question for you guys - if you could spend 24 hours living someone else's life, who would it be, and why? i think i would like to trade places with oprah... she gets to spend time with the coolest people, and she has the means and the desire to help people who actually need it.

this saturday is 'stamp out hunger' saturday. before your letter carrier arrives, put some non-perishable food items by your mailbox so they can donate it to your community.

no matter how tainted or horrible you think you are, you are still a tool of God.

the plight of the legless frog

i have been trying to get these tadpoles to grow legs for months now. MONTHS! i've had them in the shade, i've had them in the sun, i've fed them a little, i've fed them a lot, i've changed their water, and nothing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. there's a little creek by my apartment that i take my daughter to when she feels like 'exploring', so i had an idea. i figured they might not be getting what they need out of bottled water (which is what the frog booklet they came with recommends), so i went to get them some creek water and algae. so...off i go. i filled up the cups and the bowl, and i start walking around checking stuff out. bass, perch, minnows, turtles, you name it! i see this little head sticking out of the water, and i moved over into the shade so i could see into the water...i wanted to know what was attached to the head. big mistake. HUGE! i look down and the head is attached to a 3 and a half foot long WATER MOCCASIN. cripes! those little suckers will chase you!!! not to mention, they've got a seriously poisonous bite. so i wait...stand completely still...until the thing swam away and buried itself in a hole in the embankment. good lord. nothing that scary has happened to me since the electricity went off at 3 am and i couldn't find my cellphone! (i'm afraid of the dark, remember?) these legless frogs are becoming a big pain in my arse. its time for them to get with the program - FROGGIES, LISTEN UP: GROW LEGS OR BE FLUSHED.

what in the sam hell do you do with a legless frog?????
