Awhile back I started painting the billowing bellies of obviously pregnant ladies. It’s a popular thing to do at baby showers. These days it seems it’s perfectly acceptable to bare your belly while expecting. Remember the naked photo of Demi Moore while she was pregnant? Now I’m going to say something that’ll make me sound …(Read More)

There was a sad story I read yesterday about a young (26 yr. old) man in Utah that died while caving. John James, a medical student, was declared dead after rescuers were unable to hear a heartbeat after working 27 hours to free him. (Medical personnel had been able to thread a stethoscope to him). …(Read More)
We got to dog park about 4pm today. It was a girls day out, just Evelyn, myself, Annie, Molly and Daisy. Out of the 5 of us, Daisy was the only one who really didn’t need the exercise. That’s probably why she ran the length of dog park (150 yds.) multiple times while we were …(Read More)
Three months ago or so Evelyn adopted Annie, an Australian Cattle Dog. Annie was a rescue. She had endured a harsh existence prior to being rescued.

I’m glad today is BF- Black Friday. After today I won’t have to hear about if for another year. Doug said last night that each he hears that term he thinks of the movie Black Sunday. Remember the terrorists in the movie were going to attack the crowd at the Super Bowl with a nail …(Read More)

It’s Thanksgiving eve and everybody I know is thinking about tomorrow. Everyone I know celebrates Thanksgiving no matter what their faith; and although I went to store on Tuesday and did a pretty big grocery shopping, I still find myself having to send Doug out today for all the things I forgot or have decided …(Read More)
I apologize if I ruined anybody’s day today. I know I was toxic. However, I was insanely angry this morning. It wasn’t just about the linens of course. It was the way everything with mom had been handled. This morning I was the human equivalent of Mt. St. Helens. (I probably set off seismographs in …(Read More)
I am PISSED! I just got off the phone with my younger brother. I wanted to get mom’s linens for our Thanksgiving table. I thought it’d be great for Amanda, especially since this is the first holiday since mom died. Brad, my younger brother, just told me that my older brother, Mike couldn’t make a …(Read More)
