Did you really think I'd put my real name in the title line?

A Pound of Snot
Lauren has gotten her first cold...ever! My poor baby.
This morning I sat here trying to figure out how in the heck she got it. She had it before we went to Sarah's. As a matter of fact, her nose was running before we went over there. She started coughing the night before. Hmmm? We don't go over people's houses. We rarely go anywhere unless it's WalMart. I know she can get it there. But she seems to be getting hard all of a sudden. Then it "clicked"! I know where she got this nasty, miserable cold. The ER!! We had to take Eric to the ER last week for something so stupid. There were sick babies all over the place. Yep! She got it there. I'm 99.99% sure that is where she contracted this virus.
So now, as I sit here, she seems a wee bit better. I just took that nose-sucker thingy and sucked out a pound of snot! EGADS! I look at her and there is river flowing out of her nose, yet again! It's not yellow or green...still clear. That's a good sign. No infection. But I just hate seeing that face....all smeared with slimy boogers.

The Making of a Future Librarian..........
The mess......
The "librarian".....
A librarian's work is never done..........
Job is done........
It's time to play now..........TEXAS
Texas sung by George Strait
Steven Dale Jones/Phillip White
There wouldn’t be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
No Lonesome Dove, no yellow rose
If it wasn’t for Texas
I wouldn’t be a Willie fan
Nobody’d swim the Rio Grande
I wouldn’t be an American
If it wasn’t for Texas
Chorus:
Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There’d be no Austin city limit sign
No lone star of any kind
If it wasn’t for Texas
I’d never gone to Tennessee
To sing my songs and chase my dreams
Only heaven knows just where I’d be
If it wasn’t for Texas
Repeat Chorus
It made me the man I am
Thank God for my old stompin’ ground
I wouldn’t be standin’ right here right now
If it wasn’t for Texas
If it wasn’t for Texas
If it wasn’t for Texas

The BIG Reason I want a Tummy Tuck!
I'm standing straight up and my tummy is hanging straight down. Not a good picture but you get the drift.
I'm bent over and I have about 3 inches of skin hanging from my stomach. Eric actually called me on it one day when I was bent over blow-drying my hair. "Mom! What is wrong with your stomach?" A very embarrassing situation. I couldn't believe how much was hanging off. I'm sucking my gut in and the skin tone didn't even change. It needs to be sucked, tucked and tied off!!Heating Pads
How many cats does it take to keep you warm at night?
5
Yeah, 5 cats! One to warm your feet. One to warm your right side. One to warm your left side. One to warm you back (if you lay on your stomach). And one to keep your head warm. How would I know? Because it was such a cold night last night, my loveable furr balls decided it was a good night to share my bed!

Neighbor Woes
I sit here in tears.
My neighbor is a stupid jerk.
The story:
I come home from dropping Eric off at school and making a quick trip to Walmart. As I am getting groceries out of my truck, I smell this fowl smell. I look down and there is the neighbors dog. A puppy. It's a Basset Hound. He's the cutest thing but smells awful. The nails are terribly long, obviously hasn't had a bath, and something else that totally blew my mind. The poor thing has a weeping wound around his neck. The collar is dirty and rancid and the neck is just festering. So guess who is calling the Humane Society. Why get a pet if you can't take care of it? They are our friends and they depend on us. If I could, I would keep him. But then Bobby would kill me. He is so terribly cute and he's friendly. Why, oh why??? Oh, and I went next door to let the guy know his dog was loose......there was no water, no food where he chains him up. Yeah, chains him up! Eeeergh! I don't like seeing chained dogs. They deserve a back yard or let them live inside as long as you can walk them.
My main concern is that he'll get hit by a car or die before the "neighbor" finds him. The neighbor wouldn't answer his door and I know he is there. I thought to put him in the back yard with Daisy but she wouldn't have any of it....and then the thought occurred to me that the poor thing might be carrying something and I didn't want Daisy to get sick. So I had to regretfully put him in front of the neighbors door and run home.......and cry. I'm just hoping the HS gets there. I can't stand watching this poor thing suffer!
Why do I have to care so much???

I wish!
| You Are 31 Years Old |
 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |

Blitzed
| You Are Blitzen |
 Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa. Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying! Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini. |
Chicken of the Sea
| You Are a Mermaid |
 You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are. While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need. Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational. You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else. |
So True, So True!
| 1985 by Bowling for Soup |
 "Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become T.V.? What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?" You took the bitter with the sweet in 2004 - and kept laughing. |
From a purple thong??
| What Your Underwear Says About You |
 You enjoy wearing nice underwear, even if it comes at a hefty price tag. You're a closet exhibitionist who gets a thrill from being secretly naughty. |
Mild??? Bummer........
| You Are More Mild Than Wild |
 |
True Blue
| Your Heart Is Blue |
 Love is a doing word for you. You know it's love when you treat each other well. You are a giving lover, but you don't give too much. You expect something in return. Your flirting style: Friendly Your lucky first date: Lunch at an outdoor cafe Your dream lover: Is both generous and selfish What you bring to relationships: Loyalty |
