I might actually talk about everything still relevant on my list

Halloween Pictures!
They day the costume came, I was so excited I was squealing. I pulled it out by the head, Kristen took one look at it, and screamed in horrah. I had to wrestle her into it (mean, but I figured it was the only way for her to see that it was okay). She hated it at first, but grew to yub it. She named it Cheddar (we ask her to say peacock and it comes out sounding like the word Cheddar) and asks to wear it constantly.

Ok, let's be fair and look at the other side of things.

I expect assless chaps and cat-o-nines from everyone!

Leather IS the traditional third year anniversary present, after all!

Yes...it was three years today that Jason and I took the plunge (and two years today that we took that trip to celebrate that messed my damn birth control all up).

Hmm...what else can I come up with for dates for today?
We began dating 6 years ago.
Got engaged 5 years ago.
Got married 3 years ago.
So are we corny cheesy saps or WHAT?

PICTURES!

Pomp and Circumstance

In three and a half hours, I will be attending Shana's graduation ceremony. *sniffle* It seems like just a few years ago that her pearl necklace broke and she thought she was shedding nipples.

Wait...that WAS just a few years ago.

Good luck in the cruel, wide world, Shana! I know we've had this talk several times, and I know that you told me that after the first two times you learned your lesson, but PLEASE DO NOT put metal containers in the microwave. Don't worry, I'll make sure to tell your roomies to watch out for you. And we must meet on random days for DD brunches. I'm sure you'll find a wonderful life partner, and you can bring her for dinner whenever you would like.

CONGRATULATIONS!

WWYD: Baby Mama or The Strangers?

I'm looking for a good date night movie, and am trying to console myself, since I am a huge Indiana Jones fan, and I've heard from too many sources to deny it that the new movie disappoints.

Baby Mama - Both Jason and I are fans of SNL, and of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in general. It would be a light, funny, comedy, which is good for a date night. But I've heard it's somewhat lame and predictable.

The Strangers - We're also fans of scary movies, and The Strangers definitely looks like it will deliver on that. That said, I am also a giant wuss, and haven't been able to put the toddler down or stop looking around corners since I watched the trailer. I am such a wuss about this plotline in general (YOU HEARD ME, I'M A PUSSY!). And it's not exactly date night material. But it's probably a better movie than Baby Mama.

You have two days to decide for me. And GO.


omg - Kristen just swung the front door (it's open, the screen door is shut) and I jumped ten feet and peed a bit. Please keep this in mind.

My foster puppy

A few weekends ago, I was at work, and there was a tiny pittie puppy there, giving me the EYES. I asked the managers and found out her story. She was seventeen weeks old. She had been taken from her mother at four weeks and lived outside attached to a very short chain in the kennel owner's neighborhood. She was stolen, and found chained to a telephone pole a few blocks away with a broken leg. She was then surrendered to our kennel. I took her in as a foster, and we've been helping her learn to be a puppy. She's amazingly good - no accidents, she loves Caden and Barkley (although you could tell she didn't quite know how to play), the cats, Kristen...you name it. She let Shana paint her toenails bright purple and she wears a pink hoodie (sekxy). I had her to obedience class last Tuesday and she did perfectly - she was one of the first to start automatic sitting, which we don't even start expecting them to learn until the second half of the next class. She lives to please me - she craves my approval and love, she begs for it every second of the day. Is there anyone out there who knows of a forever home? I have a prospect, but the husband isn't sure if he wants to add another pittie or not. We're calling her Pippi (although she comes to anything as long as it's said in the party voice) and she is UTD on all her shots.



There are probably people reading this who are shocked that I would allow a pit bull puppy, with socialization and probably abuse issues, into my home, with cats and a thirteen-month-old. Pit bulls, after all, are killing machines who have brains hardwired for blood. I ask you - go back and reread this post - look me (and come look at her) in the eyes, and tell me that SHE is the monster.

EDIT: PS - yes, that is Ghost's ass. Mooning you. The cats do not like Pippi near as much as Pippi likes the cats.
