She only turns 21 once. All I know is my fridge is stocked with alcohol. The main thing she wanted was a bottle of champagne to open on her 21st birthday. Then we took some cute I’m 21 pictures. She wanted a few with me although I was far from dressed for the occasion. This was the last year of her balloons and gift that I sneak in her room on her birthday morning. I’ve been doing this since she’s…
My mood has been dark lately. I miss my dog. I feel alone. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. I received an email yesterday, which was actually my sister’s newsletter. It was entitled Attitude and Gratitude. At the top of the email it actually said thanks Jamie. Truthfully when I first saw it I really thought she personalized it just for me. I honestly thought that even though it was her newsletter, for her business, that the subject matter…
My first social outing since March I was having dinner at my mom and stepdad’s house. It was the first time I was seeing my mom since a quick drive by in the beginning of April. It was the first time I was seeing my sister and brother-in-law since February. We were all getting together to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday which is on Wednesday. We were having dinner outside. She has a beautiful backyard but definitely has challenges for…
I’m not sure if my blog has been successfully moved yet. I am still waiting for confirmation but I had good news to share. This is our new puppy: We changed his name to Minx. He is a Panda Pug. The white and black makes him a rare color. We chose him because he will grow to be about 20lbs, doesn’t bark much, has a longer life span than the frenchie and he’s so cute. As much as I would…
I have said so many times that I really didn’t know what I was doing when I started my blog. Guess what, I still don’t. Other than the basic stuff on WordPress, I’m pretty much clueless. I just like to write. My English teacher’s would be shocked. I like to share. I like to tell about my experiences and hope that they help someone else. I never expected the help having this blog would be for me. The support I’ve…
Not everybody knows this about me, but I had cats before I had a dog. My very first apartment with my soon to be husband, then ex-husband LOL, didn’t allow dogs. I was dying for a pet. One of my employees had a cat that had a litter of kittens and I got my first cat. We named her tipsy because for a cat she wasn’t quite so graceful. She would be walking across the back of the couch and…
I have something to admit it. You might see it as slightly pathetic. I see it as a loss. I feel very lonely since Marshmallow died. I didn’t even realize what I was feeling until my daughter left for the night and came back. It wasn’t because she was gone, as silly as it sounds, it’s when she came home. My Zoey missed her and wanted to be with her. So she spent time with my daughter, so sweet. I…
Many, many, many years ago I use to babysit for cousins of the family. They use to come home really late like 2am. What was even worse was the only tv they used was this giant screen they had in the basement. It would have been fine but he was a big movie buff. He owned a video store before the days of Blockbuster and way before DVDs. His basement was shelved all around with scary masks from so many…
