She looks so big in this picture. So skinny too. She's so funny though. She pretends that the stuffed Shitzu is a Ploodle (poodle) and she was chasing away imaginary monsters with it. Ploodles are tuff like that you know.

And happy birthday to my bro. We're baking brownies today in his honor...tho he lives a few hours away so he won't be able to share them with us. It's teh thought that counts right. We are making a pan with nuts and a pan without. Savanna thinks jellybeans should go in the without pan. Now....for those that know me...I LOVE JELLYBEANS and I love brownies....but somehow the 2 don't sound like they should be mixed. I have a can of frosting tho and I'll let her frost her own brownie and add some jellybeans if she wants. I think I have some sprinkles left from Christmas she can use too. I need to get that stuff out of the cupboard anyway. There was something else I wanted to say but I forget now. Ah well....have a good day everyone.

I don't know the title or who wrote it or evenif this is the complete poem (perhaps I should google it) but I read this in the paper once, years ago and it was such a beautiful tribute I remember it still....

The tide recedes but leaves behind
Bright seashells in the sand
The sun goes goes down but gentle warmth
Still lingers on the land
The music stops but echoes
In sweet refrain
For every joy that passes
Something beautiful remains

I love this movie. The first time I seen it...I guessed the ending about half way through and I usually hate when I can do that. But this movie was so well done that it seemed almost like you were supposed to guess...like it was a non-issue. So i'm watching it again for like the 50th time.

I loved this picture of Savanna but couldn't use it as a portrait because her face was blurred. I boosted the contrast and soloarized it and then faded it a little. A faerie princess with attitude. Tink would be so proud....

This is soooo cute. Little J and Tuffy Bear are in the holiday spirit

If you are going to be so daring as to pair a sweater with a pair of $5 sweatpants....please do the world a favor and DON'T tuck the damn thing in to your socks. Really it's just ridiculous. Seriously...you look like a 3 year old with a post-potty wedgie.

Whoever invented the closed MRI should be shot multiple times. Then they should rush him to the hospital and revive him and heal him and then take him out and shoot him again. But they should leave him like for 4 hours in one of those closed sardine cans. I got through it without hitting the panic button though. I kept reminding myself that Baby Jessica was down a well for 2 and a half days. Then I told myself....fuck baby jessica...she was just a baby...2 hours --2 and a half days...its all the same to a toddler. I was awake and completely competent of how slow time was moving. I had little arguements with myself in my head the entire MRI. I think that was the only thing keeping me from hitting the panic button. Then I got done, thanked the nice lady for torturing me, went to my car and puked in the parking lot. My hands are still shaking pretty bad and I feel like I'm going to burst into tears any minute. I think I'm having a panic attack. I have to keep reminding myself to breathe.

LOL My homepage has a little news ticker on it and it flashed up...Garrison sentenced in deadly crash. I, however, read it as....Garrison sentenced to death in crash. I was like....WOW that's harsh. I so silly.

On a down note....Tuffy is not well again. He's been sort of lethargic and acting in pain lately. The soonest I could get him into the vet is Nov 12th. He's still eating and moving around ok...so I think it'll be alright. I just have this horrible feeling in my stomach that this is not going to be a good checkup. I scheduled a tap. I'm probably going to spend all that money for her to tell me there's no fluid, but I'll feel better knowing for certain. He just seems uncomfortable when he lays down. I think there is a tumor there and it's maybe getting bigger. I dunno. I'm praying as hard as my little heart can pray for him everyday. I know I'm lucky to have him so long. It's just hard emotionally to have that little cloud hanging over me all the time. I don't want to lose him, but I can't stand thinking he might be in pain either. ::sigh::

This is what it's like to be owned by a cat....

The whole Ellen and Iggy thing makes me sad. Rescue groups are getting such a bad rap now. Especially in my area. They just arrested a woman who had 250 animals at her house. The house was so freakin bad they have to send people in wearing biohazard suits to remove some of the carcasses. She took in a lot of the animals as strays but a great deal of them came from rescue organizations that did not do home checks. I agree with the rescue place that rules are in place for the safety of the animal but if you truly believe that, then why wouldn't you follow your own rules to ensure the safety of the animal. Ellen said that they didn't do a background check or make her fill out paperwork even. No home check. I am the last person in the world to drop an F-Bomb on the rules. Rules are good. But even I realize the need to look at each situation independently and apply the rules accordingly. I think the no dogs to homes with kids under 14 is a little extreme. Especially when they say they allow big dogs to be adopted out to those homes. A big dog in a home with small children seems to me a bigger risk than a little dog being placed with an 11 and 12 year old that already have and know how to act around a dog. And how exactly is Ellen pleading tearfully construed as "the ellen degneres of the world bullying people" WTF? She didn't send a mob. She made an emotional and sincere plea. I don't know. I'm so sickened by this whole thing.

I feel like I'm being held hostage by UPS. Seriously. I effing hate those people. They tell you what day to expect your package and then its....well anywhere from 8am-6pm. And that's if they feel like delivering it. If it gets to be 6 and they haven't attempted a delivery they lie and say they did. And without the little notice of attempted delivery...I can't even call the 800 number to have it held for pickup. Not that it helps to do that. Last time I did that...they sent it out on the truck anyway and I wasted a trip out there and while I was there they attempted to deliver. it's unbelievable bullshit the things they're allowed to get away with. I pay to have the package shipped to me...it should be SHIPPED TO ME. I try not to have things shipped that way but sometimes I have no choice. I have to use the service the company selling me the product chooses. GRRRRRRR sorry ass sonsabitches.

AHHHHHH I love you General Tso

This is the companion page to the Grow one I did the other day. I used the same BG paper and kept the button theme somewhat. For this one I was practicing using the digital shapers I dl'd. I found the circle ones and the buttons and ribbon at Digital Scrapbook Place online. They have so many wonderful freebies there. You have to register but it's so worth it The yellow BG paper is from Shabby Princess.

How funny would it be to let the Sux get within one game of the division and then steal it away from them. Like...OMG SIKE.....you are so NOT the champs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.
