You know what phrase I find to be really humorous? "I've met the man of my dreams." Now, I know that this phrase indicates that the speaker is referring to a man who has all the qualities she has sought in a mate. But if you take it literally, it starts sounding like that movie Still Breathing (which I own and watched recently). If I were to take the meaning of this phrase literally, I would NOT want to meet the man of my dreams. When I dream of men, it's usually a nightmare where I am being chased. So, I don't want to meet the "man of my dreams", but I would love to find my soulmate.

Last week was hell for me. My little boy Chance has passed on. After his adrenal surgery several months ago, he was diagnosed with lymphoma. I knew eventually I would have to make the decision to let him go, but I was hoping it would be years. Unfortunately, he only had a few short precious months left with me. I miss my little ferret. He was so beautiful. To read his story and see pictures of him, you can go to the following URL: http://www.ferretsanctuary.com/stephanie/chance.shtml. Now I'm down to 4, and it's amazing how much the absence of one can make the place seem empty. I guess it's because I had been paying him so much special attention to make his remaining time on earth precious, both for me and him. Only 4 ferrets...now, it's an equal match. I have fat-girl Vera, fat-boy Roly, little Noodle, and little Chaos. My 2 boys, and my 2 girls. But I know that losing them will never get easier.

Ok, so I didn't keep up with what I said I would do in my previous post. Well, at least I'm still trying to update this in a timely manner. So what's on my brain today? Vanilla Sky. If you haven't seen this movie, you really should. Trust me, it's good. I really don't much care for Tom Cruise, but I really enjoyed this movie. I'm looking forward to watching the original production called Abre Los Ojos. I don't know why I liked this movie so much. Maybe it's because Tom Cruise had his face messed up through part of it...maybe it's because I do believe in true love... maybe it's because I'm just a romantic sap. The point is that I've found another movie that really touched me. Ok, yeah, it must be the sap reason. Oh well...at least people can't say I don't have a heart.

I'm so glad that the fall is finally coming. I guess I like cooler weather the best. Although I grew up in the South, I must say that fall is my favorite time of year. After all, there's state fairs, Thanksgiving, cool nights for cuddling, Halloween (and scary movies), and all sorts of fun activities that go on. Which reminds me, I've been thinking about dressing up for Halloween. Since it's on a Sunday this year, it seems really pointless. Maybe next year I can dress up. I thought of dressing up like a mama ferret and carrying around Noodle or Vera as my baby ferret. Anything to include my fuzzy babies. Oh well, just my random thought of the day. My new goal: to type a random thought into this space every day (as well as including interesting events going on in my life).

I just finished watching the movie One Hour Photo with Robin Williams, and I am a wee bit disturbed. I guess that was the point of the movie, to show the loneliness people sometimes face. I guess I just hope that something like that never happens to me. I don't particularly feel the need to latch on to someone else's family. Then I think back into my recent past, and I wonder if that's happened before. I briefly lived with a woman and her husband, and she kept joking about how I was like their kid (although I was only a couple years younger than her). I still have family...but since they live so far away, it's not like I really get to see them all that often. Maybe I'm just a little lonely and whining. I'm really quite happy with my life, but I guess there are some pieces of the puzzle missing that I hope to find and complete someday.
