Biker bars, Parties, etc. 2007-12-02 04:24:40 It was a busy today, requiring far more energy than I wanted to invest after last night. We went to a Christmas thingie in a fairly small town and were out late. This is a photo I took, one of only a handful that wasn't so shaky as to induce vomiting. Something about darkness slows the camera down to a crawl. I even tried to stop breathing while it was doing its thing, but alas, no luck. Anyway, here's one from the "decent but not great" category.
So today, we had to book it around to get clothes together for a party tonight (yeah, my usual jeans and navy blue hoodie collection wasn't going to cut the mustard). Oh, and PG needed a haircut. Oh, and we had a benefit thing this afternoon.
Let me tell ya about this benefit thing.
It was at a biker bar in a part of town I try to avoid. While I have no problem with bikers, I DO have a problem leaving my car in iffy parts of town. But the car wasn't stolen and there wer Read more:Biker
Jack's home! 2007-11-27 08:55:49 My little Jackson is home from surgery and doing OK. He's still groggy and kind of weird, but he's always been a bit slow to come out of it after dentals, so this is nothing new. He looks like a little Frankenstein with all of his stitches, but he's doing OK. We're waiting to hear the test results on his bumps. Waiting is the worst part. Gracie was SO glad to see him, and she hasn't bossed him around once. Good little egg-head that she is.
Just wanted to post and let you know that Jack is doing OK.
Rednecks in Mexico 2007-12-05 01:50:06 So tonight PG, Nicko, and I were hanging out with a group of people we've hung out with one night a week for the past four years. Ok, so we were playing cards at a bar (legal kids, gotta keep it legal). Its always a lot of fun because the play is crappy but the people are amusing. Many of the people work with PG's dad and we're all just sort of like family.
And some of them are the cutest rednecks ever to grace the earth.
Yeah, cute and redneck.
I need to find a single one for Nicko.
Now let me define "redneck" in rebel terms. When I think of a redneck, I think of a guy who probably has more shotguns than most police agencies. A guy who hunts birds and drives some sort of diesel vehicle (and no, not an older Mercedes). A redneck is someone who wears a camouflage baseball hat advertising some sort of bait shop. They like dirty jokes, beer, and having barbecues. They can make a perfect turkey call (ok, I wouldn't know if i Read more:Rednecks

Reb's Holiday Survival Guide - Part 2 2007-12-03 13:06:16 Ok now that you have your trusty notebook up and running and some of that online shopping finished...we're moving on. But keep that notebook handy, I'm telling ya, you'll love it!!
Decorating
This would be one of my fav things to do during the holidays if PG didn't always manage to fall asleep in the chair instead of helping. So to keep him up on his feet and ready to heft big boxes, I pour coffee down his gullet at a high rate of speed. There's no need you the girls should have to do this alone. After all, you aren't the only ones living there, right? Pick a day where you can do it all at once. DON'T clean house beforehand because ornaments, garland, and whatnot are dusty devils indeed and you'll just trash the place anyway.
Tree - if you're like me, than garland is one of your favorite things. But why spend tons of money on fancy beaded stuff when you can make a bigger statement on the cheap? Simply buy a roll of crinkle pap Read more:Holiday

Nope, not dead 2007-12-16 22:37:22 No, I'm not dead and haven't been abducted by knife wielding maniacs.
However, I've been smokin' busy around here and its not looking like it'll slow down much until Santa drags his fat ass back up the chimney!!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Last week I had a total of six vet appointments for everything from stitch-removal to neuters. Unfortunately Jack's results came back positive, and we're going to be working with an oncologist to see what we can do. I'm not giving up on him as long as he feels great! We have a good chance (2/3 odds) that he'll never develop another bump. Otherwise the vet says he's healthy as a little horse.
K's three wild boys were neutered and are up for adoption! YAY!! Next to the vet will be the girls, but I'm thinking that we'll wait until after Christmas because honestly, I haven't got a lot of time, and yet my "to do" list keeps getting longer. Add in nasty colds for PG and I and its been a struggle lately.
The Saint 2007-12-10 09:33:09 Apparently (and I'm no expert) in order for a person to become a saint, they must perform three miracles. Now I don't know if there are other clauses in the Saint
Contract, such as must be present to win, or sainthood is non-transferable. But I do know that if I make it through today, not only will I have performed three miracles, but I'll have extra credit on me too.
So far, I've performed exactly one miracle. But its early. That particular miracle involved hauling myself out of bed, into something resembling clothes, and making it to the garage for the first of many ciggies. I know what you're thinking. Why is that a miracle? Hey, I'm not done yet so pipe down.
I then had to grab four boy puppies and attempt to stuff them in individual carriers while they spread their legs out and went as still as little boards. Yeah, I admit I was nearly in tears at that point. Then I had to warm up the car because its colder than
Make his ears bleed 2008-03-07 15:50:30 PG doesn't understand just what music really is. He listens to techno crap with computerized instruments and exactly three words for lyrics. The bass from his wicked speaker collection rumbles through the house while I cram Tylenol and wonder when...

The Secret 2008-02-26 13:45:23 Last night PG and I (who are apparently light years behind everyone else) watched The Secret. For those who may not know, its kind of a new agey thing that involves the law of attraction. Basically it states that if...
