Empty Nester Gone Bad


I'm sure this blog is enough proof that I'm an Empty Nester gone bad. I'm told that to fill the void that occurs when the kids leave home, it is best to get a pet. I was thinking about that the other day when I came across an article in the Gulf News...
"The Dubai Camel Centre has produced a cama, a hybrid between a male camel and a female llama." I don't know how two things as ugly a camel and a llama can produce such an adorable baby but I've gotta get one. David reminds me that we live on the 11th floor of a high rise so I've gotta work out some details. Maybe we could keep a herd of them in Nebo??? Do you think they buck? We could invent a whole new rodeo sport.

I'm taking suggestions on what I should name my cama. I will announce the winning name next week...

Stubbs the 2nd... that's all I got for now but I will think of something else. They look kinda Stubby anyways. And I'm totally down for raising camas... screw my degree... I'm moving to Nebo.

Hey girl...great blog site. I fowarded to Kathy who just landed in Houston for her three weeks of parents' house sale fun.

We would also do a blog from here but a) Kathy doesn't do blogs, and b) Kathy doesn't like it here enough to write about it.

Mohamed?? Original, I know. Or Sheik Cama... Burj al Cama. I don't know, I'm trying to go with the Arab theme.

Hi Juli. I really like your blog. It is absolutely the best one I ever read, OK, the only one I ever read. It sounds like you are handling your empty nest syndrome in thoroughly modern ways. I have committed to watching Oprah to deal with mine. (feel my positive vibes yet?)
As for your Cama, how about, "Leon" Then if you called him CamaLeon he'd already have his own Boy George anthem. sorry.
Keep them coming-entertaining and INFORMATIVE! love, Laura B.
