1 Thing You Want to Do Before You Die:

Take a cruise to the Mediterranian that lasts at least 3 weeks!!

Small Request

This is for anyone out there who belongs to a gym, and sorry to be sexist, but mostly aimed at the MEN who might actually read this. Do us all a favor, would you?

BATHE before you go running on a treadmill in a gym with poor ventillation!!! Its just monumentally unfair to the rest of us to put of with the aura of stench that engulfs you....

And, seriously, don't folks who are that odeifferous offend themselves?? I know its a pain to bathe both before and after a workout, but heck - take one for the team, would you???

This struck me:

I rarely forward on emails that are forwarded on to me. Sometimes, and only to a very select few, will I send on things that really strike me as either poignant, funny or hear-wrenching.

This was one of them.


Thought of the Day

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember the words of Tony Blair, England's Prime Minister, during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in and how many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American Soldier

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Tubes are in!!

We took Chris to the out-patient surgery center this morning at 7am. He was cranky and hungry, but seemed OK once we got settled in. The doctor came in, as did the anesthesiologist, and explained everything - the procedure would be quick and he'd be cranky as all get-out after he wakes up because he'd be very disoriented.

The surgery took 9 minutes. NINE!!! WOW - talk about fast!! It took longer to get him under and back awake than it did to insert tubes!! He was supremely cranky for about 2 hours after, but fell asleep and woke up as my good ole' happy boy again!!

A boy who can now hear and will hopefully never have the pain of an ear infection again!!!

3 is OK, 4 is better, 2 won't work at all...

I'm talking legs, if you are a dog.

Poor Maddy - this canine just can't seem to catch a break! Last week, she and Steve were going in opposite directions around a corner. She stepped on his shoe and her back leg slipped off, causing her to fall down on her only front elbow.

She could not get up. She was clearly distressed, panting and shaking.... I gave her a Rimadyl and decided we'd take her to the ver in the morning... Diagnosis, nothing broken, no signs of cancer in that leg, just probably a really bruised elbow.

Well, that was on Wednesday of last week. She is just now starting to have confidence moving around, poor girl... But she's still a tail-wagging, smiling-from-ear-to-ear, happy pup.
