Stethoscope

This is fabulous…(and no, that’s not my hubby’s head..but it’s a close resemblance, don’t you think?)

25 Random Things About Me

From my Facebook page…
1. I ran into the street when I was 3 and was almost hit by a motorcycle.
2. I had a recurring dream for years that led me to wonder if I was adopted.
3. By the time I was ten, I had milked a cow, bottle-fed lambs, herded sheep and driven a tractor [...]

My Sacreligious Illiad

Saturday afternoon this last weekend found me sitting in a doctors office with a piercing pain in my lower back.  I should have been at the movies with my friend Rebecca, but while getting ready that morning my hip moved in a “funny” way (don’t know how else to describe it) and I soon found [...]

Funhouse

Hmm, I’m listening to a song from Pink on her new CD Funhouse, and I think I’m enjoying it way too much. Do you think it’s a problem that I’m liking these lyrics as much as I do?
“It used to be a fun house
But now it’s full of evil clowns
It’s time to start the countdown
I’m [...]

I’d like to thank the academy…

Imagine my surprise when visiting one of my “regulars” on my Google Reader account, to discover that I’ve been nominated to receive an Octamom Award by Sarah over at Sarah’s Musings!  Thank you Sarah!  If nothing else, the rules involving chocolate consumption makes this an event worth savoring!

Don’t decide that since they’re 80% off you should buy 3 of them!!
Don’t take one to work, leave [...]

Vampire Dog and the New Year

Don’t panic, Maggie’s still alive and well.  This is her “I’m in deep slumber, don’t bother me” face.  You can’t tell in the pic, but her eyes are wide open.  Which is rather strange/funny for a blind dog.
I must take responsibility for her exhaustion today.  Tonight I took her on her first “real” walk, which [...]

Oy, my eye!

I was home from work today with a massive headache behind my left eye.  I’ve thought in the past that I had a migraine, but I don’t think I knew what it meant until today.  Nausea, light sensitivity and involuntarily tear shedding (not of the self-pitying type).  I spent most of the day in bed, [...]
