    Hockey game on in our living room. Lots of time to surf the TE TD threads.

    Debating on getting a movie, but the wine is making me sleepy already.....

    Crazybikinchic---I saw Body Worlds in Philadelphia. Verrry cool. Here is a link from wikpedia for those of you who are not familiar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Worlds

    There is also a similiar exhibit in Las Vegas at the MGM, I think, but it is old and ratty looking and not as detailed.

    Is this a thread for those of us with ADD. I think I have that oh look, shiny....

    One of my dogs just woke me up at 7:30. I am not happy. Why didn't the light sleeper (DH) get up?

    Maybe I should start early on the weeds in my backyard? I really want them gone so we can build a retaining wall.

    Hey, Aggie

    'Cuda woke me up before 7:30 too. I'm still trying to decide - yoga and get my day started? or back to bed to cuddle? DH is still fully asleep.

    hmmm

    And yes, although I am the heavy sleeper, I am also the one who is up with the dogs, occasionally that happens 3 times a night, but usually it is just once.

    Did you go weeding?

    My last dog was awesome. He loved to sleep and wouldn't even think of getting up until you were already up. Unless he had some sort of very rare emergency situation. My dog before that, had DH up at the crack of dawn. In winter in Edmonton, that's no big deal. In summer, that means 4:30 or 5 AM!! Thank goodness DH would walk her, feed her and come back to bed. I just had to roll over and go back to sleep.

    Body Worlds is coming to Portland soon. I'm definitely going.

    Of course I should clarify. Dogs wake me up. I let them out, I use the bathroom, I let them in, they go back to bed. On a weekday, it's usually time to be up anyway, and I do yoga all on my own while the rest of the family sleeps. I should do this on weekends, too, but then I'd miss out on "cuddle" time.

    It was a good cuddle today.

    Hugs & Butterflies,

    I'm pleased (in an angst filled gruesome way) to read on Wikipedia that all the doners for Body World were "willing donors". Don't know if it was that I read or heard that the donors were prisoners of some sort and well....that means not exactly willing. Either way not sure how I feel about it for art or education. I suppose if it inspires someone to learn more about medicine or to take better care of themselves....maybe it's all good.

    There are two body shows making the rounds. One has "willing donors" the other is mostly executed Chinese prisoners. The prisoner one is the one that's here in Seattle. Had a long discussion about it with one of the PT student interns at our clinic. He was boycotting the show because of the $$ paid to the Chinese government for the bodies and the shady documentation.
