My appointment was changed to October 7th.  Another Quest screw up.  You would think the arm and a leg that I’m paying them would get me some better service!

This took years off my life.

A friend emailed this to me.  I’m considering revoking their friend card because surely they had to know this would stop my heart. Click here at your peril. Edit: I fixed the link!  Be warned.

My dogs… again

They get really tired of me taking their picture- I know it.  They’ve told me. At times a little more forcefully than others… Or at times with complete apathy… Or Ginger even tries to hide… I think if they could … Continue reading

New blogroll addition

I added a blog that a group of girls from the Nest Eco Friendly Family (say that ten times fast) put together.  It is basically a group of girls who have etsy shops to have the chance to talk about … Continue reading
