The Tours

Sadie March 31st, 2008

Yesterday my boyfriend and I along with Fuzz and Tracy went on a brewery and winery tour.  First we toured the Sprecher Brewery.  Then we toured the Cedar Creek Winery.  It was lots of fun.  I’d never done a tour like that before and I’d love to do it again!  The only downfall was also freakin hilarious.  There was a guy, lets just call him The Admiral, who should have been leading the tour.  Well, he thought so.  The Admiral asked the stupidest questions and then asked the answer to show what a tool he was.  Why do you use oak for the barrels?  Is it because it gives the best flavor?  Oh, and we saw a really sweet convertible.  Remember that guys? :)

Funny You Should Mention It…

Sadie March 30th, 2008

On Friday night I saw 4 old friends; people I couldn’t probably still be friends with because of our lifestyle differences, some good, some bad.  It was nice though.  I just today thought about my blog I wrote regarding people in your lives.  Funny that I just wrote that and then see people I thought I may never see again.  It was not completely comfortable being with these people, but at the same time it was.  I didn’t always know what to say, but neither did they.  We just don’t know one another anymore.  The strange thing is that all of these people were pretty close friends of mine at one time.  Maybe I’ll never see some of them again.  Maybe I will but we wont recognize each other.  Maybe I’ll see them a lot.  You just never know.

My Horoscope for March 29 (Taurus)

Sadie March 29th, 2008

If you are thinking of going on any type of a vacation adventure, you had better start getting organized. Otherwise it might never happen. Making travel plans might seems like a lot of effort at first, but it will actually be quite fun once you get going. There are tons of websites, books, magazines and even television shows that will give you great ideas about where to go and what to do. Take some time to run through all your many options, then start booking.

I have been thinking about making travel plans again.  I just don’t know where I want to go.  Where should I go this time?

Here Kitty Kitty

I just heard about this sick story on the news this morning.  I was surprised also to hear that today, March 28th, is Respect Your Cat Day.

Cedarburg - A husband and wife who kept more than 100 cats in a house each have been charged in Ozaukee County with 30 misdemeanors accusing them of failing to provide food and water for the animals and failing to provide the cats with minimum standards of sanitation.The couple, Michael A. Rossobillo, 61, and Carol A. Munden, 58, could not be reached for comment Thursday.They are charged with 10 counts each of failing to provide proper food to confined animals, failing to adequately provide water to the animals and failing to provide minimum sanitation standards for the animals.Rossobillo said this month that he has not lived in the house at N73-W6957 Walnut St. for about three months. He said Munden moved out of the house in March 2007.“It got a little dirty, and it was nasty in the basement,” Rossobillo said in an interview March 3. “But (the cats) weren’t mistreated. They weren’t.”Each charge carries a maximum fine of $10,000 and nine months in jail.Police officers who entered the couple’s house Feb. 21 “were overcome by stench of urine and layers of cat feces throughout the ranch home,” according to a criminal complaint.“Two officers could only remain in the home 30 seconds . . . ” before they had to go out and get some fresh air, the complaint says.The Ozaukee County Health Department found the conditions of the house constituted a health hazard, and on March 3, it gave the couple 30 days, or until Tuesday, to clean and sanitize the house.Nineteen dead and decomposing cats were found in the home, and at least four of the live cats had to be euthanized.

Staff members of the Ozaukee County Humane Society who rescued the remaining cats found that they all suffered from dehydration, and more than 40% of the cats had upper respiratory infections.

Fifteen of the rescued cats have been adopted, and another 10 cats are up for adoption, Angela Speed, an Ozaukee Humane Society spokeswoman, said Thursday.

Society staffers removed 120 cats from the house, she said, including those that were dead or had to be euthanized. The society is working to restore the health of the remaining cats so they can be adopted, Speed said.

The Humane Society’s appeals for contributions to cover the cats’ treatment have resulted in contributions of about $10,000, she said.

Sick, I know.  Well anyway, respect your cat today.  Give it an extra treat or something.  I’m not sure how else you respect a cat…

Rancid- Fall Back Down

Screw it.

Sadie March 27th, 2008

Ever wish you could control your emotions?  I don’t mean control your reaction to your emotions, but just control your emotion.  I wish  I could.  I wouldn’t bottle so much up that way.  I think I am frustrated and angry lately.  Oh well, you can’t so screw it.

This goes for anyone, not just a child…

Black and White

Sadie March 24th, 2008

The night before last I dreamt that I had my old dog Maya back.  She was in my kitchen and I had forgotten about her and she peed on the floor three times.  Maya is a blonde dog, but in my dream I saw her out of the corner of my eye and she was black.  When I looked again she was blonde.  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.  I left the room and came back and she was black again and my little black dog, Mr T., was blonde.  I was really confused in my dream.   Now that I think about it, I’m confused awake too.  I wonder what it meant.  Aww, I miss her.

Better Left Unspoken

Sadie March 24th, 2008

Sometimes there are people in our lives who even when gone will never leave us completely.  Some of these people I long for closure with.  Many I will never have that closure with.  There are things I’d love to tell people; things better left unspoken.  People become such a strong part of your life that when they are gone, whether by choice or not, they take a piece of you with them.  The crazy part is that most of the time you don’t realize it’s the last time you will ever see that person or at least with the same connection you used to have.  If you do happen to see them again it can be a little weird and uncomfortable.  There are people I’d love to be completely open, vulnerable, and honest with, but never will.  I suppose it’s better off that way.
