Dear Glee:

All right, I admit it- you are cute and I kind of like you.

“Fucking Death Eaters”

Once again Jenny the Bloggess made me happy. Actually, she makes me happy EVERYDAY she writes something, but this was particularly awesome!
And by the way, if you DON’T read Jenny you are crazy. Your life is meaningless. Just go see the picture! In fact, check out ALL the pictures. I wasn’t sorry.

Life list

So you know my life list?  Instead of adding to it, I’ve crossed one off!  This is the first one I’ve crossed off and I’m pleased with myself!

#47 Make a souffle!

I don't actually OWN a souffle pan, so this had to do- it worked well. I will decrease the baking time next time- it wasn't quite "gooey" in the center as the recipe said. But HEY, I've never made one before and YEAH! One Item crossed off my list!

Well of COURSE it’s chocolate! What? You are surprised?  Delicious!

Emma checking to see when it's going to be done.

Mmm! It was scruptious!

Buster thinks it's BULLSHIT that he doesn't get any!

He does, however, think that snuggling inbetween mom and dad is the awesomest thing ever!

Uh-merica!

“Cuddling my semi automatic, what a very fuzzy feeling”

Has to be one of the best lines ever written.  Ever. Have I mentioned how I adore Regina Spektor?  Because I do!

Dear Universe

You tried really hard to get rid of something really bad today. Thank you! I’m proud of you for that!  Keep trying!

Friday thoughts:

• Bullet points are great!
• I need to write more, this month has kicked my ass, but the end is in sight! Of January, anyway:)
• I had my first repeat tax client- I’ve done repeat taxes before, but no one has ASKED for me, by name (I’m the quiet one in the back!)
• I actually PAID the money to the school where I’ll be going to college for a couple of years.  It’s a community (almost spelled it cummunity WEE, lots of meaning there, eh?) college and it’s cheaper. And I will be getting LOANS, because of this little thing called marriage- you see, by marrying Brian it bumped us up into another tax bracket. Bastards.  If we’d held of getting married until this year we’d have gotten almost 4000 more back in refunds. Bastards.  But I like being married so I guess there are trade offs.
• Speaking of taxes, I hate them.  All of them.  But I enjoy doing them immensely too!
• I have a secret!  But I can’t tell yet!
• Buster chewed a library book.  So I bought a kids book for 17 bucks. Great, eh?  I go out of my way to NOT spend that kind of money on books!  I buy used books!
• Dried pineapple is delicious!
• Once again, COFFEE- drink of the gods!

Buster the Chug (Ribbed for his pleasure)

(Sorry, couldn’t help myself) It is! LOOK!

All right, maybe not "ribbed", perhaps "nubbed?"

Either way, HE LIKES IT, and he’s not ashamed!

If you want me to bite it mom, I will. Nom Nom Nom.

Buster is FUN!  He can be a pill, like the other morning when a huge wind came through in the night, knocked the wheelbarrow over which broke the fence, resulting in a two slat opening, JUST wide enough for him to squeeze through.  Which I didn’t know when I let him out to go potty before I left for work.  So when I let him in 10 minutes later and he didn’t come in… There was much terror. And ten minutes of us driving through our neighborhood looking for him.  Emma was crying that someone was going to steal her dog.  We found him…and Brian fixed the fence when he came home.

Emma adores him:

Love:)

They sing, they dance!

Kisses! Kisses!

Sometimes he just tolerates her exuberant affection, but he loves her lots!

All we need is love!

This dog is SPOILED.  I cannot go shopping without buying him something.  And he’s a chewer, so most thing go quickly.  Here is his assorted loot in one room.

One room's worth, although he does tend to carry his favorites around with him

He got a new baby tonight, see?.

I'm such a good daddy! Or wait....

I'm very small and alone and helpless and cute!

Oh, I have fear!

And having owned hedgehog for exactly two hours the squeaker is already gone!

Gator has seen better days- but is his most favorite of toys. I found him in Winco and will be looking for a replacement next timeI go.

And OMG, do you see his cute little wrinkles?  Around his nose? I just want to bite them, they are so cute!  He is SUCH a cute dog!

Big Bone! Big Bone! This is his nylabone, which he love very much too. DAMN but them's expensive!

Just so you don't think my life is *so* easy, I'll have all of you know she made me SIT for this milkbone and then lay down and THEN? SHE TRIED TO PUT IT ON MY NOSE! My mommy is HEARTLESS, I tell you. My life? One huge tragedy.

He will never be a Chuck, I’m afraid…

Don't look at me like that, I live a life of TORTURE! TORTURE!

O.M.G! LOOK at his face, his cute little face and TELL me how you can not love him? I mean seriously, LOOK AT THIS FACE!

He has an appointment to get his balls chopped off next month- since it’s tax season I need a Saturday appointment.  He spends his spare time looking at girls on the internet- He thinks Ella is QUITE fetching and Pearl has LOVELY eyes and a stunning coat!  He’s quite the ladies man, he just doesn’t know it’s about to come to an end!

He sleeps with Brian and I and prefers to be IN THE MIDDLE.  When we are settling in for the night he tries to sneak in- it’s hilarious, the innocent look on his face.  He KNOWS he’s supposed to be at the bottom of the bed but he wants SO desperately to be in the middle!  A couple of nights ago I woke Brian up laughing because he’d wiggled up between us and was tummy up, snoring! ( He does snore, but not as much or as loud as a pug does.)  As it is, one of us is constantly moving him back down and to the side.  SOMEONE complains about it but when I said we COULD kennel him if we had to at night, someone wouldn’t hear about it. SOMEONE loves this dog just as much as I do.

We’d both prefer it if he wanted to sleep with Emma, but he’s very much oriented towards adults it seems.  And she likes it when he snuggles her, but since he’s a cuddler and she’s a sprawler they are both contented to sleep apart.  We just need a bigger bed.

Speaking of beds…I’m off to mine:)

Stress Relief

My mother in law emailed me this. It was too funny not to share. I’m not dead, just swamped getting w-2′s out for 50 companies. Buster continues to be awesome, Brian and Emma are great! This is how I heard YOUR day was going…. First you had trouble getting out of bed You had a stiff neck You washed your hair and couldn’t do a thing with it Your new diet really doesn’t seem to be working out You pulled a muscle when you tried to exercise Your new hat looked better on you at the store You keep losing things You got caught in the rain at lunchtime Then the lunch you had didn’t seem to agree with you You feel trapped Uninvited guests showed up at dinnertime On top of that you think you’re coming down with the flu And finally, you’re alone in the house at night when you think you hear a noise in the basement MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!!
