The Bomb Digity

Recently, people have started 'checking in with me'. I’m guessing that this is due to my out of character silence. Really, I think that some of you assume that I've moved all of my worldly possessions into the bedroom, within arms reach of the warmth of my bed... In all honesty, I have considered this as an viable option to surviving winter, except that the 3 cats and 2 dogs currently reigning over the 'Galli Kingdom' have established the bed as their throne before I had a chance to set up camp. And secondly: No, I have not tripled my daily intake of crazy people pills and begun painting the house a pallet of beautiful colors- although I do find that appealing, if it wasn't for that fact that those drugs are spendy... It's the crazy people that keep our health care system in the black, and I thought that it was the deep-fried-chicken loving people…umm.

What I have been doing in my wake of silence will come to many of you as a surprise. I've been pounding the pavement in search of a paying job. I've been a bum for the past couple.. o.k., few month's, and it's time for me to jump back into the world of 'useful people'. It seems that all of my pig, goat and sheep pooh shoveling- yes serious- is not contributing to the world of respectable people. I can't see why not, in my mind there’s nothing more respectable than someone decked in Carhartts and Muck-me boots, even better if they have horse pooh in their hair.

I had every intention of using my 2 degrees and working for a city entity or at least the likes of one. But lucky for me, the City of Fort Collins has put a freeze on all hiring! And I can admit that I am sooo relieved. I would have had to quadruple my crazy pill intake in order to keep from loosing the rest of my mind under a dusty desk in a 4x4 foot cubicle.

So instead, I took an office in the best yoga studio of Fort Collins. Yes, Massage. I'm back. But with much more control this time. The kind of control that says “if you look at me wrong, I have every right to kick your nasty $## and dispose of your body in what ever way I see fit.” Yes, this is all documented in my medical intake form. Binding and legal.

The point of this post is not to go on and on about me, really it's to brag about the incredibly artistic talent that the Galli men hold. I've been working on revamping my business card, because I’m again a business card toter- now that’s a useful person, and at about 2 a.m. last night, I was at a total design loss. I decided to ask Nathan, my talented- beyond- belief- brother-in-law, for his advise.


And Lo and behold, this is what showed up in my inbox-Perfection:

So I guess, here's to real life. Thank You Nathan. You're the Bomb-Digity.

It was so nice...


The pavement was warm enough to lay on yesterday, and today it's going to snow. When do I get to move to the equator?

Maybe I should start looking at Life Insurance for Chris

Chris and his Father are always e-mailing each other u tube clips or forwards of bad e-mails. Usually the subject reads something along the lines of: 'Fw: it could be worse' or, 'Fw: when vacation pictures go bad'. I joke that they both need to work while they're in their offices- and that surfing for u tube clips of 'home cooking shows gone bad' does not count as 'work' in my book.

Yesterday though, my father-in-law totally redeemed himself by sending Chris both the coolest and craziest thing that I have ever seen. Seriously, I've seen some crazy things- look at who I live with. I promise, this is really crazy.

By the look on Chris's face while he was watched this clip, I'm thinking that life insurance may be a good thing to have.. or at least I should make sure that he is always wearing clean underwear.

I should re-name this blog 'Cute Little Furry Fuzzy Things'.



It is much too cold to take photos outside, and I don't really have anything of use to say- as I'm still in hibernation mode. And as great of a still life subject that Chris is, he's hardly ever clothed and now he's demanding that I pay him commission per square inch of baby flesh that I publish... if you haven't noticed, I'm not profiting much lately in the financial arena, so he's out.

I guess that you'll have to do with these 'too-cute' photos of the Galli Zoo.. at least until the big thaw comes and it's safe to leave the house.
