Need to Vent

Just a vent session!!! One of the things I love most to do is buy Christmas presents or make presents for people I care about each year. If I'm poor, I'll make them. If I have the cash, I'll buy and make. This year, I made lots of magnets. It gives me a great pleasure to look, shop and really think through what I'm going to do for this person or that person. It is great fun! But over the years, I have noticed that I'm appearing on less shopping lists by others and it's gotten to the point if I have 3 presents to open, I was lucky! Truth be told, I'm heart broken! I will buy for a hand full of people; other wise, the Angel Tree will get most of my attention. Some may think I'm just buying to get them taken care of, that is so far from truth and I wouldn't waste my energy or money if I was going at from that approach. I put so much thought into each gift. I must add that I do get gifts that are unwrapped and I do know about and I'm grateful for those; these gifts come from those who will always stay on my shopping list. I'm sad and sad with regrets. I need new Rx glasses and instead of buying them, I put others first. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

Merry Christmas Everyone

Well, I just realized I haven't posted in a while and it's Christmas Eve. Like everyone in the country I'm heart broken of the loss of the babies in Newtown and my heart goes out to all the parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles feeling the hole this christmas. Know this, you will forever have a sweet angel tugging on your pants for the rest of your days... Again this Christmas, I will be working and crossing my fingers for snow the weather-person is predicting for us this year. Christmas isn't just perfect if there isn't fresh snow to wake too. If you're traveling today and this week, be safe, be smart, and don't drink. Hold your pets close, your friends close, your family close and be grateful for the awesome things you do have in your life. If you still have time to take care of your secret santa, put some thought into your gift for them even if you may not like this person very much. Don't just buy them a soap ball and call it good... Gift cards are lazy unless you know this person well. There is a very good chance that person you have went all out for their secret santa recipient. Your recipient may love to have something nice to open as well. Most of all, Have a Fabulous Tuesday!!! Cheers

Touching Base

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Life has been crazy on many levels. I'm still looking for a place to live; amazing the shitty housing situations for people who live off one pay check. The only descent rents are WAY out of my budget and it's not including utilities. Soooo sick of my stuff in 2 different storage units. I want to enjoy my things again, most have been packed in boxes for 31 months. Having a grand time with Christmas shopping this year, a benefit of renting a room. Over spent for my Angle Tree child and had a grand time doing it. Buy some gifts for a child on the Angle tree in your local food market. Those kid(s) will be thrilled to have something open this Christmas. You only need smart shopping to get as much as possible to $40.00 even if they say only spend $20.00. They only get Christmas once a year!

Women's RIghts Win, All Americans Win

Am thankful that women's rights prevailed over someone who thought we should have no rights. It's been a week since the country spoke for who they wanted to run our country and the best person won. Even people from around the country were celebrating with the news. There are some seriously screaming republicans in this country and I'm sorry to have to say this, but hating the one person who is working himself into gray hair to repair the state this country was handed to him 4 years ago are being blind. He cares about this country, he cares about all of us and he cares about the world. He knows what it takes to keep the Peace around the world. Hating him is only hurting yourself. He's working for All Americans!!!!! Not just for those who can afford to buy what ever they want! He's working to save this country and rebuild it for a strong future for All Americans! Thank you for choosing women's rights over those who don't pay taxes!!!!

Vote Obama

Or we go back to the dark ages and women's rights go away as well. Obama cares for this country deeply. He is what this country was founded on. Romney won't even tell us how he's going to cut the budget other then taking all medical benefits away from women and our parents & grandparents. Obama is creating jobs through the tax cuts to small businesses. Bush left Obama with such a huge pile of horse poopoo that it will take more then one term as President to repair this country. If you vote for the old guy, we will go so far back it will take 3 democratic Presidents back-to-back, two terms each to get us back to 2012 standings. Please think about that! Obama is the right guy for the job. A side note to you screaming republicans; those fancy 2013 cars your driving around and the jobs you still hold are because of Obama making sure people are working... A strong middle class is what makes the wheels go round in this country and the rich will still have places to spend their money. Vote Obama!!!!!!

Cost of Living

I would like to know why 1 bedroom pads have to go for half the income I make in a month? For some or even some counties, it would be all of the income they make in a month. It forces people to live in areas where they don't want too or in dumps that are death traps from poor electrical wiring or shitty windows or zero insulation or warped flooring or simply put "not fit for residency". I refuse to move into any of these places because the landlord is a "slumlord" and doesn't want to work for a living. The 1 bedroom places needs to be around $500 if the tenant has to pay all the utilities. If a single person will be paying ALL of the bills, then these $800-$1,000 1 bedroom pads need to be lowered in price. We're already paying more income taxes then those with kids or have a married mate! Why do we have to pay more to have a roof over our heads that isn't going to fall down around us? If you're going to build housing in the multi unit capacity, then you need to keep in mind that not everyone is making $20/hour and those who are making $20/hr are owning their own home and living how they like. There are some of who live a clean life and aren't looking for section 8 help or can pay $800+ a month on a safe, clean place to live. There are some who are smart enough not to give over all their personal information to some person who answers the phones for 2 years until the government comes by to audit them to make sure they have all the required information from each tenant to prove they qualify for the cheaper rent. What info is required you ask! All bank account numbers and balances, driver license numbers, and any credit card numbers and balances and so much more. These rental places require more information for a cheap place to live then the food stamp office does. Those people are crazy. I'll give you my information and on the way out the door, I'll close all my accounts, declare my DL lost and as well my cc. Back to the main issue, lower the cost of living for the single people so we can live someplace safe and clean. This isn't about offering more low income housing, this is about those who work hard and want a safe clean place to live and not depending on food stamps because the rent is taking over 60% on the monthly income from someone.

Where is Happiness

The past couple of months I've been trying to make some serious improvements in my life and I find that something huge knocks me off my track and leaves me feeling gutted. So, I'm a bit confused in the whole process of self improvement these days. I'm left in tears by the curve balls that keep getting tossed my way. I can't even appreciate the good things I have around me right now. Yes, I'm blue! I keep trying to get my head into a really great place so I can really embrace the awesome things I have around me and I end up coming out at the end of the day more frustrated about everything and that leaves me emotionally exhausted. I need a good cry and I will probably have one tonight. Really confused right now, because I really want to be HAPPY with everything around me and something is just keeping me from becoming successful in my heart & head. It may be self-doubt, it may be external, can't seem to put my finger on it. Clueless!!!!! Update: my day went better, but would like to be able to embrace all the awesome things. I guess time will tell. One of the things that confuses me is that the more I try to show myself I'm worthy, the people around me I worthy and those I encounter each day that I'm worthy, the more it seems that I mess up. It may be too much pressure on top of current pressure! If I left things the way they are, then I don't move forward in my personal life, I don't more forward in my career, I stay stagnate and that is not what I'm about... Scratching my head!!!

My doggy

Just an update for my last post. I'm currently staying with a friend and everything there is going okay. However, looking for a new place to live is my number one priority. My doggy is off getting some training while I stay with a friend. I would love to have her with me, but she's getting some much needed attention where I was unable to give her on the 24/7 basis times 4 people. I knew it was going to take a village to get her trained to be a good doggy. She's too smart for her own good and keeping her busy and not bored is tricky. She's my buddy and I miss her! I know she's in good hands; however, I miss having her nearby at night. I would love to get a doggy back who will sleep on my bed with me and not in a kennel... A doggy who wants to cuddle with her mommy! Fingers crossed!

No fancy title for this one

Taking a minute to breath in the fact that I have to be out of my place by the 17th. I've had issues with a neighbor bulling me off & on over the summer and they convinced the coolest landlord ever that I'm the trouble maker. Trying to move past the anger, pissed off, and feeling violated without cause. I pity this person who feels that must make others feel like shit in order to feel better about their shitty day. My kid is with her grandma until I can get packed, cleaned and moved into an even more fabulous place with our own fenced in yard we don't have to share... Someplace that doesn't cost me as much a month as this has. Between the shitty 25 years old single pane windows in metal frames, to the sliding glass doors with gaps the size of Texas where I had to buy heavy fabric to cover them to slow the breeze. To the hollow front door. To the carpet that had human feces rubbed into the padding until my shampooer pulled it all out, NASTY! To the refrigerator door that couldn't be opened all the way because the counter got in the way. I'll miss the old fashioned door bell that takes up a foot of the wall. I'll miss the fabulous neighbors I do have. I'll miss the perfect floor plan in all these units that where built in the 40's. "Eat Pray Love" is getting me through some of my hard days and helping me to grasp the important stuff that is upon me today. My first paid vacation was canceled and went from cruising the state & camping to sleeping on my mother's cot and figure out to leave my dog there without stressing her out. Doing my best to leave this building in a good place, like I have left all of the rentals I have moved out. Back to packing and getting ready for work!

Stupid Motorcyclists

Got the scare of my life after leaving work tonight. Some jerk on a motorcycle passed me on my right with a car just ahead of me also on my right, only about 8-10 feet between us. The jerk squeezed between us doing 65 while we're doing about 55. To keep me from turning the wheel in panic, I had to take my hands away so he could around me. All I saw was him under my car at 55 and there couldn't have been anything I could have about it. If you ride a bike, PLEASE be safe and don't take chances like this. What you do most definitely affects the people around you in way you may never know about.

Presidential Terms & Regular People

Here is a summary of my financial successes and struggles under the different Presidents, in my adult life. My personal struggles aside! Bush 89'-93’ Worked low wage jobs, was dependant on others (not the state government) for a place to live or had to have roommates, in a homeless shelter, and broke all the time. Clinton 93'-01’ Regular jobs, one even with health insurance, a roof over my head, and finished out the term owning my own business. Bush 01'-09’ Closed my business, saved a business, became dependant on others again (not the state), for a place to live, unable to get a descent job even with a new college degree. Obama 09’ Incumbent Back to work, have a roof over my head again, have health insurance again. Supporting myself and it is so nice. Under Romney, the thought scares the hell out of me. I don’t want to do a repeat of Bush terms, but with Romney, it would be worse then Bush. Please don’t vote for him, we don’t need him in Office to be able to Pray or what ever else you think he can give only a small few of us. Your vote will have direct impact on me and so many like me.

Soloist

Been trying to figure out if I'm just being paranoid or if the feelings I'm getting are real. Well, I decided that I'm not paranoid. I've been renting for over 25 years and have had many many neighbors and have gotten along with them all. Well, I decided that my current location (town) has brought me more issues where my neighbors are concerned then the last 25 years combined. I don't know how to even write this post. I continue to learn things about what makes me who I am, even going over things when I was a small child. The issue isn't that it (being ignored) happened for a day or two, but it was reinforced by many people around me. No-one person is to blame, only the fact that it continued all through school and it shaped me in ways that brings me to tears. I'm lonely and I've lost the ability to be around strangers as a normal human being and that frustrates me to no end. I'm doing my best to articulate this so it doesn't come off where I'm feeling sorry for myself. What does a person do when they want to be around people, have friends, do things with them and end up feeling the safest place in the world is where it's just my dog and me, alone? I've been forced into a life of being solo over the years for one reason or another (by others) and I hate it. I've cried all the way home from work some nights because I don't want to live here anymore. I'm not a materialistic person, but hold more value in the people around me. I know when I'm not wanted. If it wasn't for my kid, I wouldn't be seen by my neighbors much. Guess I'm at a loss on where to go from here... To work, today. Then...

Anxiety, fear, stress, flashbacks, pain...

We just had something happen that once again brings us back to ground level and looking at things that really matter. My title is a short list of symptoms that will follow and come to the surface for weeks to come in anyone affected by this. The very worst thing you and anyone around affected can do, is drink. So, exit that plan to grab a six pack or a bottle and/or do what you can to keep the people close to you from stopping at the special store. Everyone deals with these issues differently. Do not allow them to push you away! Talking will help them deal with it and get past it. It will take time, even a few years. I'm sooooooo sorry that was once a normal everyday life activities has been changed. Call the free hot line, find someone who will allow you to vent, scream, cry. Some tricks I learned in my process that may be helpful. "Name" those symptoms, it will allow you to move past that moment, what ever it is. "Sprite" literally is my drug of choice. It will bring you back to 'now' in the middle of an anxiety attack in under 5 minutes. I kept one in my car, a six pack at home. Chocolate does wonders for you mood. Vitamin B1 is a great thing to add to you daily, my really baaaaad days, I'll take 2. 100mg is a good daily dose. Backing off the coffee and caffeine drinks will reduce these symptoms by huge amounts, and you won't notice the headache. If you're good about only drinks 2 cups a day (not 2-24oz cups a day). More like 24oz total, you should be okay but on really bad days. It may seem silly, but walk every day for at least an hour. I'm hard core, so on my really bad days, I go shopping, don't really spend money, but get around people while hugging a sprite. It's about getting the control back... I found that there are movies and tv shows that raise the heart rate to a point where it will increases the stress level, might want to hang out on the hallmark channel for a while. Lastly, write a lot. Buy some cheapo paper and some pens/pencils and write it out. Find something you have 100% control of and concentrate on that. For me it is driving, taking short day trips did wonders for me. The most important besides maintaining a healthy diet is showing yourself you care about yourself. I know that seems like something that is natural, but in the middle of a bad day, it isn't on the to do list. Keep your chin up and I wish there was something more I could do for you... If anyone if looking for a fabulous book to help out, here is the ISBN#9780071614948. I haven't said the diagnosis name yet, because it is misunderstood and tabu. I love this book and is very well written. Updated 7/24/12, as it turns out I work with a relative of one of those lost on friday night. My heart is sad for this person. As I watch the news and more stories about this person come out, I can't imagine the pain the relative(s) must be feeling. So, be nice to all, you may know someone who is dealing with a tragic loss.

Hot House

Well, summer is upon us and the tricks to cool off the house each night and/or to keep them cool through the day begin. Everyone knows the main trick to open a window on the 2nd story that faces north to allow the heat to escape. Plus to open the whole house up at night to get it cooled down. But there are many who live in apartments and sometimes have west setting sun all afternoon. Or are lucky enough to only enjoy the morning sun and live on the east side of the building. I'm one of those who is lucky enough to have the morning sun come in my windows and get to enjoy 7 hours of direct afternoon sun before shade reaches my place. This sorta sounds like your place, I feel your pain! Here are some hints of items in your place to pay attention inside. First, is look at your windows; how old are they, are they single pane, are they double pane with moisture in between the glass, are they air tight, are there spaces around the edges, are there big enough gaps to allow a nice breeze thought. These may be worth covering up with plastic; yes even in the summer time. The goal is to keep the cool air in and hot air out, vice versa in the winter. The "drop cloth plastic" for painters is heavy enough to cover the windows of choice to help insulate from the outside. You can cover them up it where its up for months, or you can build a wood frame where you can remove it each night so you can open the windows at night to cool the place off. Do you have a crawl space under your place and are you lucky enough to have an opening to it to draw in the cool air that is stored down there? Keep it open all the time, if possible. No north facing windows available! Place a fan in a small window (bathroom, etc..), and have it facing out and open other doors and windows to help the cool air come in. Doing this one thing at night will make a world of difference by morning. Leave what windows/doors open you can durning the night as long as it doesn't put your safety at risk. Another one I didn't think about until just recently. Do you have forced air heat and is the duck work in the ceiling and/or attic area of the building above your head? Well, if so, close those vents and I would even go so far to cover them with plastic. It's a matter of up to 15 degrees cooler inside by mid-day and late afternoon. Attic areas are always sweltering in the summer and with the tin warming up and moving the air within them and the only place that hot air can go is through these vents. Close all doors to areas of your place that doesn't need to be cool until you get home. The wall ac unit and the power bill will thank you! Even if you have forced cool air in your place, close the vents in these room and only cool the space that needs to be cool, especially if your pets only live in one room of the house/apartment/condo while your away. Okay, finally to those mean west facing windows/doors you have. What I did was buy enough fabric to cover the windows and doors of choice to help insulate the heat. You can buy those light blocking curtains for these places, but you may want to have some natural light so you don't have to turn your lights on during the day. A nice flannel pattern of choice will help a lot. I have 2 different fabrics hanging, one is a white flannel and the other is a darker (not black) cotton fabric to help draw in the winter afternoon heat, but keep the door breeze at bay. The winter color is adding to the insulation to the flannel. I just sewed hems and button holes so they could be hung from those small removable hooks. Lastly, is the space that houses the duck work or vents to that head from the crawl space up to the attic open to a closet or hall? If it is not being used until winter, I'd cover that up with plastic too. If it is part of your cool forced air system, Do Not Mess with the venting! Leave them alone!!!!!! That is my next job to get covered up. Good luck and I hope I gave you a few ideas to help you stay cool. 6/29/12 update, my place is so much cooler with the vents covered. Made all the difference in the world!!!!

Healthy Stomach

Ok, I have to brag about a silly book with a silly cover. It's called "A Women's Guide to a Healthy Stomach" I found it behind some hanging items at my grocery store. I looked at it and thought it might be interesting. Not only full of great information, but it's very funny. I haven't been shy about my IBS issues and always looking for more information on the subject. On the list of foods that are culprits, I discovered one was being put on my breakfast every morning; raisins. I haven't had any in a few days and I feel so much better. I don't feel bloated or the uncomfy pressure. The book does address other issues too like the every yucky diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, bloating, gas, celiac disease, crohn's disease, and others. It does brings to attention that some medications could also be causing some of the issues, but gives good information on how to help solve it without giving up those meds. My favorite, finally some good information about what to look for when buying probiotics. Happy readings!

Writer's Complaint

I haven't written a post recently because Google Blogger changed the whole look it's writers now have to endure and figure out how to use. It was once an easy to use, shared the look you get to see and can see the blogs we want to follow. Now, it's ugly, full of drop down menus to find stuff while the space is now filled with information we're not interested in. I'm not happy about it at all! It's like going from the page you see here back to the basic ugly look of DOS. I want it back to the it was!

Sexting & Teens

If you give your kids the ability to text, then you have to make sure the package you're paying for doesn't include data. In fact, simply have all data blocked with the cell phone carrier you're using. All you have to do is ask them to block it and it is free of charge. There are HUGE legal issues that follow your kids for years and it will make it hard for them to find jobs when they enter the job market. Do it for your kids future and stick with "No" forever...

This is a new threat that most adults over the age 25 didn't have to worry about. Now, everyone has to think about what their sending via texting, tweeting, facebooking etc... The trouble is, our very young has the same access as the rest of us and no boundaries or laws have been setup to keep them from having this kind of access yet. This is huge issue and the PARENTS are 100% responsible for giving or not giving their young this kind of access. So, Parents, remove the data from the texting or better yet, block all texting all together and make this kids actually talk to each other AGAIN!

"NO, you can't have it!!! End of discussion!!!!!"

Operations & The Cone-of-shame

Some vets keep dogs over night after an operation and some don't. Well, I found one that doesn't keep dogs after operations and I wish he had. Had my kid spayed yesterday and I didn't figure in that she would be a handful afterwords. Well, she wasn't even interested in a nap. She started to lick where the stitches are at, so we headed off to the pet store to get an e-collar. Well, in my process to get it on her, she was fighting me so bad, she pulled one of her stitches loose. So, I had to carry her back inside to the in-store vet and the vet glued her closed and I asked them to put the e-collar on her. She wasn't happy, but she's figuring it out. She's finding the corners the hard way and that she can't sneak outside. My karma for laughing last night was discovering that I couldn't get her harness off. I later very carefully slid it off down the body. So, before you pick who will fix your pooch, find out if they keep them over night or not. If they don't have everything ready, including an e-collar. I would even ask the vet who did the operation to put it on for you to avoid an 911 situation and when they bring out your kid, try hard not to laugh too hard.

Prettier Legs

Okay, while watching a commercial 10 years ago about cream that reduces those ugly bumps in our thighs, it occurred to me that I could do something different For FREE and burn calories! Now hear me out. All the treatments, doctor visits are doing one thing, moving the skin to break down the fat and help it get absorbed into the blood stream and eventually leave the body. Right! Okay, now what I did was sat on the edge of the couch and processed to open-heavy handed pat my thighs for about 5 minutes, moving my hands around the thigh all the while. Don't do it so hard where it hurts, we're just looking to get the fat to break down. Now I did this for about 3 days for 5 minutes at a time and was amazed on the difference. Now, don't get all crazy about and do it everyday until you don't see any, because that won't happen, unless you lift weights. Give it some time to work itself out. And in a month you can do it again if those ugly bumps are still screaming while standing in place. Now, if your skin is red afterwords, you may be doing it too hard, so back off some. Now, I know we have questionable opinions about our bodies and how they look in clothes, doing this alone won't change your life. If you want to increase the chances that those ugly bumps stay away, you have to change your food choices as well. Doing this and continue to eat fast food and fried foods won't make a bit a difference in the long run. You will still have health problems. I'm not a doctor and health professional, I'm a person who eats pretty healthy 95% of the time and takes care of myself. My legs still look good 10 years later after working on them for one month. I have my food weakness like everyone else, but most of the time, I eat pretty healthy. I would have to scroll back through all my banking to see when the last time I stopped at a fast food joint. I thought I would share my little secret with you to prettier legs for free, for those who work out everyday and still struggling with those ugly bumps.

Have a good weekend!

Observation

That person you see shopping for food is single and a home body. That person doesn't dress to say; "I'm sexy, look at me, I'm better then your mate!" That person is dressed in comfortable clothes. That person is accused of stealing mates from others just because of the out going personalty that person has. That person is misunderstood. That person can speak to anyone with ease to a point where it shocks others, but that person knows that to meet people, you must speak to others. That person has morals and self respect. That person is judged for what others want to see and not for what is. So, before judgement is placed out of fear, understand that person is lonely and wants to be important to someone. That person rather stay at home then be looked at like a mate thief, but has hopes that someday the perfect person will spot that person and say to self, "You are the one for me!" Until then, that person will move through life and enjoy what the day brings.

I was not feeling down when I wrote this. Just something that needed to be said!

Puppies & Tools for Survival

Now, shame on me for not getting everything I needed for Kaci, but I was POOOOR when I got her and had no funds, but I would not have gotten rid of her for anything. She was my driving force to succeed.

Doing things differently with Kelli. She has a playpen to stay in while I'm at work. The green patch is a life saver, spend the money on one if you're gone over 6 hours a day. I have a yard, but it is open to my neighbors, so she as to stay inside while I'm at work.


Now, to get through the night where I can get some rest, I got her a 30 inch kennel for her to sleep in next to my bed. No pic of it. Lots of treats to make it a positive thing and something called pet eze is my favorite thing. It helps her calm down enough so she can go to sleep. She sleeps for most of the evening while I'm at work and she isn't one to go back to sleep 2 hours after I wake her up. Some nights, she fights it, but does give up. I also have some lavender on a toy to help also to get her to sleep.

Took Kelli to the local puppy park and the dogs had a blast, but the humans are cruel and judgemental. Most likely will not go back to the park due to human treatment. I left (when kelli got tired) but left with hurt feelings. I will find someplace else that is fun for the both of us.

Now, each puppy is a teething machine and they HURT! And it's a period of time that can last up to 9 months of age after her adult teeth come in. So, get a 1 inch stick cut to a foot or two for them to chew on. They will chew on anything wood that is nailed to the house, but if you supply them with a stick that is just for them, it will reduce the house chewing by 90%. But it can NEVER NEVER NEVER be used as anything as toy for them to chew on.......... Again, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER used for anything other then a toy...... Maybe get some of the gravy spray made for the food and apply it to the stick to help them know and remind you of it's use. Another teething trick is to put some of the chicken chewy treats in the freezer to help cool the gums. Kelli loves her frozen treats!

Just some thought!!!!

Silliness!

Not much to report. Work, sleep, play, work, sleep, play.... Play, is keeping the puppy busy and not chewing to solve her teething!!!!! She hangs out outside by her own accord and chews on the a fallen tree which is fine with me. Hope everyone well and enjoying the month of february with March round the corner!!!!!

"Sahara", The 2005 Version

Can't believe this movie got bad reviews, it's a Great movie. There are some fantastic one-liners! The music is good enough to crank the stereo. Not to mention, Matthew is a total babe! Every time I watch this movie, I see something new I didn't see the last time!

B: please read the above again and you will see your answer!

Google Future Changes

With the changes Google is making, I may sadly end my blog. I don't agree with what they're doing and they may loose me as a customer. I love being able to do my blog, it allows me to vent about everything under the sun. But these changes that are coming up in March, I'll have to think about it! Just giving you the heads up on this!!!

She'll Take Me into My 50's

Okay, after two and half years without a cold nose kid, I now have one. She is an infant of 10 weeks old and very cute. And yes, she is a chew monster and there is nothing like being sound asleep in the middle of the night and waking to her chewing on my nose. During the day, it is cute and manageable, but at 4am, it is very painful. She is eskimo & lab retriever and maybe something else. I might get a dna test done to see what else. She does not currently have large feet, but time will tell how big she will get. Her birthday does fall under the scorpio sun sign, which is what I wanted. She should have most if not all the same characteristics that falls under the same sun sign as Kaci. I can't replace Kaci, but loved some of the things that came naturally to her due to her sun sign.

I finished the year with a long 2.5 mile walk around town, freezing my ass off! My long undies are crap! But is was a good walk, a good way to bring the year to an end, going over all I accomplished!!! 2 out of 3 items completed! A great job and a place to live. The 3rd, a dog will come when she shows herself to me and the timing is right! When I got back to my place, my neighbors were looking for me to come join in on some champagne when the NYC ball dropped. It was nice to spend it with my neighbors, I wasn't alone again to bring in the New Year!

Time for coffee to keep my body warm. Turned up my bed last night and still struggled to get warm. It took awhile, that is for sure! I ended up making some hot coco to speed up the process and then I was able to get to some sleep.

Have a Great New Year and wish you Twice the Luck and Double the Fortune!!!
