long time, no blog!

here's my list of things i've been wanting to blog about:

• the polygamist ladies on the news- weird hair and dresses
• there will be blood- an in depth review and analysis
• my diet- eating healthy, cutting out beer, still drinking coffee
• the vet- why i cry at the vet, how i got through it, and how GD expensive it is

i don't have time to really talk about any of that right now. maybe i'll come back to the topics someday. for now.....

my diet: i just got a filet-o-fish for lunch and now feel sick. it's the same thing as beer; it seems like a good idea and i remember loving it, then i end up regretting it. i seem to have finally assimilate this knowledge as far as beer goes, but the siren call of fast food still seems to trick me once a week or so. this stuff will sink in sooner or later.... lately my only indulgence has been eating too many "soy crisps", which is progress!

the vet: i took griffin friday after work. the office was packed, including someone with a dog that looked just like maggie, but named lucy. by the time griffin and i got back to the exam room i was sobbing. i think i scared the vet tech! plus my mom was nice enough to tell me about martha stewart's chow dog passing away earlier that day. i ended up filling my fancy yellow purse full of kleenex from all the crying. which is better then the dog's urine sample i brought in (also in the fancy yellow purse.) hey, it was in tupperware and then a ziplock.

we took caesar & cleo saturday morning and i was much better. i didn't cry once! all 3 dogs have now been to the vet and have been examined and tested, poked and prodded. the verdict is in: we have 3 old dogs in good health for their age. i'm really relieved and glad to be done with the vet for a while.

btw- i'm giving my mom the yellow purse for mother's day. i went and found the same purse in black, which is much more practical for daily use. glittermom is spoiled!

finally: the weekend went by way too fast. yesterday we made a little bonfire and spent time outdoors. it was perfect weather. i wore my crocs and dan brought out his guitar and it was quite lovely. i put some pics above. i also found out photobucket has online editing! of course i had to test it out with a pic of groundcat.
