The house is strangely quiet. JD is away at a meeting, Polo is sleeping on three pillows, and I'm not singing because there's no one to impress with my mad skillz. Soaking in the silence is nice once in a while and it makes me appreciate the noise I've grown to love. The sounds of keyboard keys clacking, Skype chiming, Polo barking, tea brewing, the ascension of stairs, email arriving, ding-donging, laughter, singing…life. I'm thankful this Thursday for sound pollution and the happiness it yields.

I guess that means it's time for another installment of Kisses and Disses…

This week's DISSES go to:
*Sleeplessness. That's a lot of s's in a single word…makes me feel smart using it! Anyway, I haven't been able to fall asleep lately, so if you have any suggestions on how to catch some z's, holla back at your girl. (pee ess, counting sheep or drinking a glass of warm milk makes me feel like I live on a farm, so please don't suggest either of these two things!)
*The stylist who cut my bangs. I look like I'm in kindergarten. But worse.
*Twitter. This little web application will be the demise of me. I just know it. Internet, Twitter is poison for people with OCD…it should come with a warning label!

This week's KISSES go to:
*The Lakers. Whoop, whoop. I finally confessed of my crush on Sasha Vujacic to JD whilst watching the Lakers game on Monday night. His response? Dude, how are you going to break up with Kobe? I love my husband. I hope the good ‘ole Purple and Gold dunk the Nuggets in Loser Sauce tonight.
*My mom. She calls me every day to let me know she's praying for me. Seriously, she prays so much for me I have a Pass Go and Collect $200 card to Heaven. Fo real.
*MorningStar Veggie Dogs. JD bought me these soy hot dogs a couple days ago and I feel like a kid again. I ate a chili dog for the first time in 17 years…and had breath to prove the onions, cheese, and wiener were AWESOME.

Happy Noise Pollution Thursday!
