The Compulsive Ramblings Of A Philotherian: You Can't Always Get What You Want

Outside my window… ~ Is a bunch of beautifully colored leaves that are being tossed around by the subtle breeze.

I am thinking… ~ That I really, really need to find some kind of Halloween fleece for Stacie so that she doesn't kill me for causing her to miss the Cage Contest on GliderCENTRAL.

I am thankful for… ~ Having multiple options of food to choose from tonight instead of trying to decide on, "Rice or nothing."

I am wearing… ~ A vintage Greatful Dead shirt and a pair of old grey shorts.

I am remembering… ~ The fall days of old when I would spend time watching all the Halloween movies on TV with my grandma. Oh how I miss those days...

I am going… ~ To be leaving shortly because some things can't function properly without a pill or two.

I am currently reading… ~ Various numbers of places that I have to call Monday. Fun, fun, fun!

On my mind… ~ The Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere.

Noticing that… ~ The house really needs to be dusted. Now I have a mission for tonight. That should be loads of fun...

Pondering these words… ~ "You can always get what you want."

In the kitchen… ~ Sits a bottle of Ortho Home Defense Max that will eventually need to be used. Around the house… ~ Is several lazy animals taking a nice evening nap.

On my frequent playlist ~ At the moment, I'm listening to a lot of Bob Dylan and Bach.

One of my favorite things ~ Is my Nikon. I never thought I could love a camera as much as I do.

A photo I love at this moment:

This was taken the other night outside the house. Isn't in amazing hose creeping your surroundings can be? And The full moon that we had that night really helped, lol.

Well, it wasn't anyone we knew personally. It was our marsupial friend, the opossum. Yup, a opossum. I was just sitting there watching TV, then I heard what I thought was the neighbors dogs digging in the trash can. So I got up and opened the door to scare them away, and to my surprise, there was a opossum looking me right in the eyes like we had known each other for years. I automatically ran and grabbed the camera so I could have photographic evidence for everyone to see. When I got back to the door, I noticed the opossum, we'll call him Stewie for now, I noticed Stewie looking over towards the neighbors. And of course, it was their dogs. They came running down there and ran right up in Stewie's face. They scared him so bad, he fell off the porch. I was screaming at them the entire time trying to get them to leave, but oh no. By the end of everything, poor Stewie was curled up in the yard doing was opossums do best, playing opossum. So, I had to drag the dogs up to the car and keep them in long enough for Stewie to get away.

So after about an hour of dogs, yelling, and trapping, Stewie finally got to get away and the dogs played no part in it. I say it was a win - win.
