Easy Like Sunday Morning

I am not a dog person. Mark insisted on getting Emma a dog for her second birthday. He went to Wayside Waifs and put in an application on a puppy. I had refused to go knowing that I would want to bring home a whole army of pets. Mark's only stipulation was to get a smallish dog. My mistake. We got approved for the dog. It was a Labrador Retriever and Brittany Spaniel mix. We went to pick her up....and she was already big. That was almost five years ago and Isabelle still resides in our home. All 50ish pounds of her chocolate Lab/Brittany Spaniel glory.

This dog is not normal. She never has been. Izzy lays on HER couch and she prefers to lay her precious head on the pillow. And the dog snores. And she runs in her sleep. She provides Mark and I with a lot of entertainment in the evenings as we sit on the other couch watching t.v. and periodically making fun of the dog.

Isabelle is easy like Sunday morning.

Precious puppy. You're making me miss ours. I'm allergic, and we had an outdoor dog, and couldn't bring her with us when we moved. :(

I may look into taking allergy meds so we can get another dog someday, though. I loved our Golden Retriever - Lily.

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
