My dog is an escapist. He loves to get out of the house and run around the neighborhood. It hasn't happened in a while, since we have kept a tight reign on him and finally taught the Kid that it is NOT okay to just open the door while the dog is running loose in the house.
This morning, however, I put his leash on him and sent him outside like I usually do. Something told me to look out the window and check on him. His entire choke collar was off, and he was standing there looking up for the dogs that live above us. Why didn't he run? I calmly opened the door and called him back in. Normally, he would say "haha screw you!" and take off. Today, he just excitedly came back in and sat down with me. I pulled his leash back in, put it back on, and sent him out again. The dog seemed never the wiser about what had just occurred. I have to wonder if he knew and just didn't care to run away, or did he not even notice. Either way, he is still outside sitting in his favorite spot enjoying nature going by and I am here not having to worry about whether or not he will eat someone else's pet.
Why, oh why do I always scrub the kitchen to within an inch of it's life and then cook dinner? Why don't I ever cook dinner and then clean the kitchen to within an inch of it's life so I can enjoy it for a while? I'm an idiot.
I'll stop looking into reduction surgery now that I know. Bummer..I was hoping they could help me out with the perk factor while they were at it.
I switched purses last night. I only do that once or twice a year because I tend to fall in love with a purse and keep it until I fall in love with the next one. Well, I fell in love with the next one last winter but had to wait until it was warm to switch over. You can see why...
Anyhow..I couldn't believe how much change was at the bottom of my old purse..it could be measured in actual pounds..
My son listens to Mozart nearly every night before bed. He loves this one CD of music. I believe it's his Symphony 40 & 41. I would go look, but he is listening to it right now as he drifts off into slumberland. Sometimes I wonder if I should set up a little hidden spy camera to see what it is that he does while he is in his room trying to prepare to sleep. Sometimes his door is open and sometimes it is not. There is usually silence, except for the clicking of a toy, flicking of a page, or something else he has hoarded in his bed to play with. Tonight, I got a little view of what it is that he does. He read two books and drew some pictures. Then he brought me his finished art. Other than that, I have no clue. He is a very interesting little boy.
Show us what you're working on right now.

I'm working on trying to find out what the heck is eating my tomato plants..the only thing I've ruled out so far is zombies.
Look at this poor little guy..yesterday it was a plant and now it's nothin' but a nub..
This one didn't fair much better..
Any other ideas would be appreciated. I've got to hurry up and figure this problem out..I've got heirloom tomato plants being delivered next week and I don't want them eaten by anything but me and not until they are in tomato form.
Who was the last person you offended?

It would probably be my sister's boyfriend, since I called him on the carpet about something that PMO the other day. I don't usually "offend' people...
I just make them livid.
I have been blessed with an overabundance of profundity in my life. It's the main reason I stay on Vox, or blog at all. I don't really expect everyone to come over to my blog and read every little word I say. Heck, I have so many blogs there is no way anyone can keep up with me. I have a heaping load of friends who speak with such soul-rending prose that I have to step back and check for holes sometimes. They blow me away every time I sit down and take the time to really absorb every word. I am not a lover of long speeches or exhortations that go for more than one screen, but these entries...these people make it impossible to look away without feeling you are missing something. I have a hard time keeping up with my neighbors because I just have to read it all...take it all in.
Check out RPM, Electric Firefly, Idadi, and Mathilda just to start you off, and you will have more than enough. Your cup will run over. You won't be able to carry it all. It's the blessing of having these types of people in my life, on Vox, commenting on my various blogs, blogging on their own blogs, and even including my best friend IRL. You all make me a better person because of your honest, lay it all out there kind of speak. Don't ever silence yourselves, friends. Whether or not you believe as I do doesn't matter, you bless me and speak into my life every time I take the time to read your magnificent search lights of truth.
Yes girls know what I am talking about. ERGH UGH GAH YECH. I just want to crawl into a hole and die right now. I feel like all kinds of crap. My face looks like I need acne treatments. I am bloated, crampy, miserable...and I want my chocolate! Stupid Adam and Eve with their stupid original sin...I am sure that when I get to heaven there will be a line at Eve's door.
