Interrupted Plans: I Found Pooches “To Do” List

Published on May 8, 2009 in Dogs. 1 Comment Tags: .

I knew they had been using the old laptop. I fired it up last night and found this blog favorited! and RSS feed. (Except Nooter would call it an RSS snak.)

Yes, one of the herd of canine-ensteins or bone-heads at Plaza del Poocho had been reading Nooter’s blog and correspawding with Nooter.

I found this note.

Single Mom’s Mother’s Day Treat

Published on May 8, 2009 in Childhood, Empty Nesters and Shopping. 0 Comments Tags: , .

I’m not a single Mom, probably never will be, but Nancy has a friend that is and she has a young daughter. For the past few years, Nancy has called and made arrangements to pick up the daughter and take her Mother’s Day shopping.

Her mom knows about it, provides the money, etc. etc.

Nancy just totes her to the store, steers her away from the Hello Kitty stuff, gets it gift-wrapped, remembers the card and she makes a single mom’s Mother’s Day special for both.

I think Nancy likes it too.

Grey’s Anatomy 100th Episode Summary: Izzie is a Zombie

Published on May 8, 2009 in Entertainment. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

The 100th episode of Grey’s Anatomy is over. In cased you missed it.

Spoiler Alert.


  • A bunch of people are hurt because of some kind of accident and all the doctors and nurses and admin staff are running around trying to save people.
  • George says “crashing” a lot and everybody he touches turns to dust.
  • The lesbians have a spat.
  • The only new news is:

Izzie is a Zombie.

Remember when Izzie had that head problem last year, you remember the one where she cried a lot while taking off her clothes in the locker room in front of men?

Well, it turns out she actually died.

Those “dreams” about Denny? They weren’t dreams, that was real. Denny is a Zombie too. But he’s a vegetarian Zombie, so he doesn’t hang around the hospital much, because that would be like a vegetarian hanging around a meat market.

Denny only eats artichoke hearts, potato eyes, palm fronds, heads of lettuce, ears of corn, etc. etc.

Izzie is a for real Zombie and she ate George and McDreamy, with Father Beans and a nice chatty Kathy.

You’ve now been updated on Grey’s Anatomy’s 100th Episode: Izzie is a Zombie.

Sixty out.

Happy Odd Day
