My fave is the squirrel keg stand on the bird feeder. I figure they gotta eat too, so whatevs. ;)Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133740026125341736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-18819002479041582782010-03-25T03:24:35.749-04:002010-03-25T03:24:35.749-04:00We don't have squirrels here so I've never...We don't have squirrels here so I've never seen one, but am with you all the way on how blissful and grounding it must be to look out your window and see them going about their business. It makes me smile just thinking about it actually (and I am not one to smile easily these days!).<br />As for the lupron flushes well thats just terrible, but I guess, at least you know the drugs are working properly (?? that was me searching for a silver lining, feel free to ignore it!).<br />The university president's speech sounded like a real tear jerker. I think its really honourable that you are in such a role model position and although you'd much rather be pregnant, I think it's still a pretty amazing position to be in. And hopefully in a few months time you can be an awesomely pregnant role model, so you'd better start practising your own glazed eyed, belly rubbing stance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-85442313903105082802010-03-25T01:20:09.862-04:002010-03-25T01:20:09.862-04:00Thanks for the menopause description.

What you do for a living is worthy of much praise and I felt a bit weepy thinking of my own instructors who've influenced my thoughts and ultimately my life.<br /><br />We have aggressive squirrels. A black one we call Ozzy has taken to burying peanuts in our potted plants. I know, freaking what neighbor is feeding them peanuts? We find them in the oddest places and are eternally entertained by their antics on our fenceline. About two years ago, one of them had babies and I almost lost it from being blown off the cuteness meter.Mrs. Misfitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245258330689439524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-81581724811264625732010-03-24T18:11:21.896-04:002010-03-24T18:11:21.896-04:00Congrats on the nomination again and I bet you wer...Congrats on the nomination again and I bet you were touched by that speech.

There's nothing more entertaining than a barking dog and a barking squirrel in a standoff. <br /><br />I believe it was the wise C&C Music Factory who said, "I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut." So true, so true.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493045268452808663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-10673904857538695672010-03-24T15:48:31.690-04:002010-03-24T15:48:31.690-04:00I too love squirrels.

How can we be like them? <br /><br />I hope your hot flashes are gone soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-22557475867446627522010-03-24T15:01:49.606-04:002010-03-24T15:01:49.606-04:00I had to chuckle about the "glazed looks on t...I had to chuckle about the "glazed looks on their faces". <br /><br />And I think that your ceremony sounds very, very moving 9so it isn't just the menopause, I am sure).<br /><br />And I also take a lot of solace in animal-watching. I walk on the beach at least a few times a week and watch the sea-birds and shore-birds. We have a lot of "peep" sandpipers, and I have a fantasy about gathering 30-40 of them into my arms and kissing them all on their heads while they make peeping noises (I guess I really need that real baby before I COMPLETELY go insane from thwarted maternal instincts, huh?). I also love to watch the pelicans diving for smelt. They are so cute, even though they try to shit on you.<br /><br />AND I agree about the weird feelings of outing someone who needs support. Remember when I posted about CGD last week? I was worried sick all morning that it was the wrong thing to do, and that she would hate me for it, then she wrote 'thank you' on my post, then I went over to HER post and spilled at length about how nervous I'd been about having done it, and how relieved I was!!!!

I'm so ridiculously hormonal right now (without being on any hormones, so can I still pull that card?) I would've broken down among the pregnant ladies. They do mindlessly rub their bellies, twisting the dagger ever-deeper, huh?<br /><br />I'm so sorry about the hot flashes...I suppose that means the Lupron is definitely working. So, hurray for that?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-34360203030463452982010-03-24T14:27:07.789-04:002010-03-24T14:27:07.789-04:00I think we should take a page from the squirrels. ...I think we should take a page from the squirrels. We should sit above it all, buffeted by the wind, just being squirrels. Sigh. (Sorry, got lost in that thought for a few moments).<br /><br />The reception sounds great (except for the pregnant squad surrounding you). It's hard to remember that there's other stuff in life, that we can have good moments on different fronts. Which is why they're so unexpected...and nice. <br /><br />May this spring bring lots of lovely squirrels, sunning themselves in full view of our windows.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574024265786913951.post-47671739651554257142010-03-24T12:57:40.046-04:002010-03-24T12:57:40.046-04:00I really appreciate your sensitivity, bunny.
