miles

Miles is my lab/greyhound mix who i've mentioned many times on here. As is common in many of what my vet calls "sight hounds" aka lab, greyhound, afghan hound, saluki, he has developed a tumor at the base of his heart that extends down into his lungs. The vet said he will likely not experience any type of rupture due to the proximity of the tumor to his heart, but will probably slow down more and more and one day "lie down and fade away." this is weird because it's how our first...

da mystery of clothesshoppin

I spent most of the day at our lame local mall with my 2 girls and I didn't get anything. which is fine, I don't need much at the moment anyway (Except shoes. I always need shoes). I continue to be astonished at the amount of time it can take one kid to pick out clothes.

halloween

It's around this time that I start to think about what I want to be for Halloween, probably because this is when my kids start talking about it.

Which brings me to the second part of this blog entry, which is that I saw all manner of ankle support variations watching ufc unleashed the other night, ie the ordinary...

I'm so glad

That my ass is parked at home with NO PPV and my washer broken for the third day (full of water and clothes) and kids and husband feeding like sharks. Now I know why my mom made double or triple batches of stuff and froze it. I should take up hunting so I can get a deer or two in the fall, have them processed and whenever someone's hungry I could defrost venison steaks, steam some vegetables and be like "Eat you pains in the ass."

The only good thing is that Girlfight is...
