1.) While at a wedding reception Saturday night (more about that and my dancing debut later) my sister was the victim of a dance attack. You know…when some brave chap decides he can get all up in your space and have his way with you? Yeah it happened to her twice by the same fella. [...]

Foster Friends: Victor E.

11.24.2009

We picked up out newest foster pup on Sunday. Can I just say it was an…errrr…”different” experience.

11.20.2009

I’ve expressed my feelings about the food program I participate in before. They’re obnoxious.

In The Mind Of A Four Year Old

11.18.2009

My little sister Baby has always been my biggest blog supporter as far as the family goes. She’ll email first thing in the morning to let me know when a post has not published or to quickly correct a couple grammatical errors. She’s the one, in the very beginning, who was all “I see a [...]
