I am not one of those shrinking violet types. I live large. At times I am loud, irreverent, silly, dorky, and just plain bizarre. I like to think of it as eccentric. So, when it’s my birthday, I have no problem telling the world.
Because hey, it’s the one day where I have permission to celebrate [...]
Nature Boy and I are going to Puerto Rico in May, and because I want to look relatively appealing in a swimsuit, I’ve recently started a workout and diet program. I’m doing pretty well with it, but more on that later in a later post.
Anyway, during a visit to my chiropractor, I was moaning and [...]
Dear Mom,
It’s your birthday today! (But you already knew that, right?)
I am so lucky and so blessed to have you as my mother. I’ve read plenty of stories here in Blogland from women who weren’t anywhere near as fortunate as me. Stories that make me wish I could have had them all as sisters, so [...]
My brother is now in detox. Thank God. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who read my post, said prayers for me and my family, left comments here, etc. Your love and support mean so much to me. And I’m so proud to be a part of such a wonderful community of people. I [...]
Dear Big Brother,
My God, how could you do this? You’ve been sober for what? Fifteen years??? And now you’ve thrown that all away because of some rough times. You know what you do when you have rough times? ASK FOR HELP. Don’t go looking for it at the bottom of a bottle of booze, because [...]
I dare you to read the following quote, out loud. (If the word “God” bothers you, use something like “the universe” instead or just leave it out.) If you can’t read it out loud, just read it to yourself. But really read it and take it in.
Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that [...]
OMG, I just had to share this with you guys! My brother (the one who works at Grey’s Anatomy) has a friend he works with who created this animated short using audio of David Lynch recounting the time he met George Lucas about possibly directing Return of The Jedi. It was shot entirely with his [...]
The transport on Saturday went really well. We ended up with nine dogs instead of eleven. (Puppy millers are notorious for changing things at the last minute.) So, we had two adult females and seven puppies. One of the females didn’t get along with other females, so she was crated by herself. Then we had [...]
On Saturday, I get to take part in transporting ELEVEN Shiba Inus from a puppy mill in Arkansas to their new foster homes. This is one of my greatest passions, saving these animals from certain death, or from lives lived solely in a crate, producing litter after litter of puppies.
The last time I did this, [...]
So, last night I did my first training session for the Fight for Air stair climb event. First, we did a little warm-up:
Started off jogging in the snow, climbing some hills and crossing some rivers.
Came across a man with a horse and cart who was stuck in the snow, so we helped get him [...]
