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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
OK peeps, I’ve gone and signed up to do something completely insane awesome. On March 6th, I will be participating in the 2010 Fight for Air Climb: Master the Met, a stair climb race to benefit the American Lung Association. A bunch of girls from my work, other friends and I formed a team called [...]
I’ve already told the story about how my mother married my best friend’s father and we became stepsisters. What I haven’t told you is that not only did I gain a stepsister, but a stepbrother as well, four years my junior. When we were young, my sister and I would torture him by locking him [...]
My dearest son, Today you are 13. How in the world can that be? How did you go from being this tiny, helpless baby to a TEENAGER in such a short period of time? I know it seems like a long time to you, but for me it’s like an instant has passed. When I [...]
New Year’s Resolutions make me stabby. There’s just so much PRESSURE. We make these big proclamations, resolving to quit smoking, lose weight, be a nicer person, etc. Then by mid-February we’re back to our old tricks and habits, feeling like giant losers for not sticking to our resolutions. This is exactly why I don’t make resolutions. [...]
