So, I woke up today with another one of those fun migraine wannabe headaches.  Good thing it was a day off considering I have no sick time left.

I slept pretty much all day, but there would be brief periods of time I'd wake up and turn on the tv to see how the world was doing and it seemed like every blinking channel either had LAW AND ORDER on or CSI.

Made me think-- just how many blinking episodes of LAW AND ORDER are there and when the world ends, will the only things that survive be roaches and LAW AND ORDER DVDs?

(The "how many episodes?" question was rhetorical.  I don't really want to know.  I'm just adding that disclaimer because if this were the LOST message board I frequent, there would be at least 3 people who would come back with the exact number of episodes and probably correct me and tell me that LAW AND ORDER by itself doesn't have that many episodes, but if you add up all of the episodes of all of the versions....)

For those of you who (in the US) like ghosties and ghoulies and paranormal stuff like me, there's a show on Friday June 1 on the Travel Channel called MOST HAUNTED LIVE.  They did one at Halloween and it was pretty mind-blowing -- if you have an open mind.

Also - shout out to my friend Guntram (he's the one who posts with a picture of a cow sculpted out of butter) for sending me two great CDs (per Ilyana's suggestion in another post) of "white noise."  One is thunderstorms and such and the other is Southwest type sounds and music.  I've listened to the thunderstorms one and it's great -- once you get past the first track of chirping birds.  Around here, chirping birds signify a rising sun and time to get up and not very helpful for sleep.  But, the remainder of the CD is very soothing.  I don't think the cat likes it much, though.  She keeps going to the window looking for rain.  I haven't listened to the other CD yet.  I'm sure it's fantastic, though.

Before I forget -- a moment of remembrance for all of those who have given their lives for this country, any country, any war, anytime -- whether they agreed with the purpose or not.  The president was on tv today talking about the men and women who have given their lives for the war on terrorism and I just wanted to throw something at him because it's his fault so many people have died.  (stepping off of soapbox)

Have a great week everyone!

Oh-- and cross your fingers for me -- my friend Janelle is going on Wednesday to do a walk-through on the beach house rental.  I hope she comes back with a rave review.  The realtor is trying to get more money out of me, however, so I'm also looking for back up plans in case she reneges on the original offer/deposit.
