I need to be packing for my short trip to Arizona but I keep finding things to avoid it with. I’m occupying my time missing a little puppy I had the pleasure of playing with last weekend.

She’s a 6 week old yellow lab who still creates “accidents” inside the house. She has tons of wrinkles and is completely S.O.F.T!! I wanted to steal her and take her home with me.

She’s a new addition to Butch’s cousin’s family and I believe they will name her Tazra (not sure on spelling).
Isn’t she adorable?! I love this bag of fur!!
And see? I successfully took your thoughts away from my self-proclaimed middle name. I am being productive, laundry, printing boarding passes, dinner, got suitcase down and ready, but for some reason I just avoid the act of packing. Probably because I know it’s never done the night before, since women always need their things in the mornings anyway. So why pack them now when I’ll need them in 10 hours? The packing is never done. Alright, time to get started.
There, I’ve said it. Now I’m held accountable. Ciao!

My parents found this newspaper article recently about my grandfather, Doran Peterson. He was an honorable and self-less man. He passed away in December of 1993. I still remember his funeral.

My Grandfather
I’m getting lonely these days. I’d REALLY love to get a puppy or a kitten to keep me company. Since Butch moved away to Wendover for work, I feel very alone in my basement and wish my upstairs neighbors weren’t allergic to cat hair. It seems these days almost everyone has a new puppy to show off or get to brag about.
I do have Olly – my Winter White Dwarf Hamster – but he’s so little and hides all day. He’s nocturnal so he comes out at night while I’m asleep and the room is dark. I hear his little wheel spinning all night long and his water bottle sometimes.
I need an animal to cuddle with and pet. Even if it were a neighbor kitty that came around a lot, I’d love to “adopt” one. Anyway, I’ve never owned or raised any dogs so it would be a first for me to have one but I think I’m ready for the opportunity.
I guess mostly, I miss my childhood beautiful cat, Princess. She passed away years ago from a dog chasing her and she couldn’t jump the fence soon enough to get away from his bite. Princess knew when I was feeling sad and would come around and sit next to me just to be near. She didn’t mind if I didn’t pet her while I was crying, she just knew I needed company. She was like my best friend. And I miss the babies she brought into this world as well.
So I found this new social site that you earn money for referring people to. Check it out…She Told Me. Also I’m entering this contest for it and it ends October 1st, 2009.
With SheToldMe.com, you insert your AdSense ID # and can earn money from ads, I think. Anyway, I’ll probably do a review after a while of trying this out. I’ll let you know if it’s worth the time you put into it.
Or, you can just sign up now!

Wow! This sentence hit me hard enough that I had to put it on my blog immediately.
“I have learned that the three most loving words are ‘I love you,’ and the four most caring words for those we love are ‘We can’t afford it.’”
- quoted from Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually by Robert D. Hales.
I really want my boyfriend to start a blog and he surprises me with his funky motivation.
