Puppy breath, vocalizing queen, and 800+ miles of "how much longer"

Thursday, 12 March 2009 3:26 P GMT-06
It's no wonder that I haven't had time to blog. I've been on two consecutive trips on the weekends to places over 400 miles one way each; my black lab had 6 puppies a week ago; my new female cat is in heat (again); and my two German Sheph

Sick Day

Came home from work yesterday aching all over and throat hurting so bad that I wanted to swallow novacaine. I stopped by Wal-mart and bought: sucrets, sudafed pe, nyquil, chamomile tea, and a new filter for my humidifier. My bedside table stocked wit

Ladies - does your man do chores?

Wednesday, 14 January 2009 1:29 P GMT-06
I must be having an anti-man week. But actually it isn't just my man - it's the kids too. Around my house I do the laundry, dusting, vacuuming, cooking, and dishes most of the time (and most other chores too, besides the garbage, which I only

Is it the ego being defensive?

There's a constant power struggle between my hubby and me. If I make a random statement, he corrects it down to the most minute detail. If he makes a comment, I take it personally - when maybe it wasn't intended that way. The two biggest conf

I went to a seminar last night with my bff Jackie. She has resolved to get out and network more this year and I've volunteered to accompany her on most outtings. Last night's seminar was on drop-shipment Internet opportunities. The company ga

E-mail Rules

We all got an email from our Legal Department regarding things to never put in an email. It listed things that would be obvious to someone with a little bit of common sense. But I found a link on the page to other "rules of emails" and thou

Trigger Point Injections

Wednesday, 31 December 2008 9:55 A GMT-06
Went this morning to have trigger point injections in my neck and shoulder. Sounds painful - but it wasn't. I really only felt a couple that was put in the back of my neck. It will be a series of them, so I go back next week for another round. I&

My best friend is in Auburn, Alabama for the holidays. It's been about two years since we've seen each other because she lives in Seoul, Korea. But we made a date and got together yesterday for a couple of hours to visit and catch each other

Mudvayne concert in Atlanta was awesome Friday night, 12/19/08. The tabernacle has three levels, concert being in 2nd & 3rd level. The second level was only about 100°F during the concert and the 3rd floor was about 120°F. Of course the 3

My vandalistic son

Wednesday, 17 December 2008 2:11 P GMT-06
I've come to realize that raising boys brings a whole new meaning to being stressed out. The stress that my daughter has caused in her lifetime (17 yrs) does not compare to one year in the life of my boys. For example, oldest son fell n

Two german shepherd dogs keep our lives busy - but add a 3rd or 4th german shepherd to the mix and life becomes more chaotic. My parents own a female GSD (German Shepherd Dog) which is the sister of my female GSD. I bought a male GSD to breed with th

Not sure what all the fuss is about, but everyone wants a facebook or myspace. I had refused to join that sort of social networking - after all, I'm not looking to create new friendships through the internet. I don't like posting persona

Garbage Truck

Tuesday, 23 September 2008 12:04 P GMT-06
 Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't ta

I haven't been doing so well with losing weight lately. I blame it on the Baptist Ministry for bringing us bread and pies every weekend. I am very grateful for them and appreciate it so much, but turning away from cheesecake, key lime pie, e
