Thanks guys. I was having a pretty crappy day and felt like nobody was responding to me!
I went prop shopping for my session today. Man, talk about retail therapy. I feel a million percent better! Got home and DH grumbled that I could have bought something that I could use outside of my business.
What did you get for props Kim?
I confess that Mia is obsessed with this image. She keeps asking to see the "circle cats".
I am officially off work, since I've been having so many contractions at work and I'm starting to dilate. Whew! And wish me luck with my dad visit this weekend. I'm already getting a huge increase in the number of phone calls from my sister complaining about his shenanigans.

Mmmmm, I'm making goulash for dinner and it smells soooo good in my kitchen. I think that this probably my favorite meal.
Only bad part is we will eat when Dh gets up (he's not lazy...just works 3rd shift) and I know he wants to watch the Brewer game while we eat. Baseball is ok in person but pretty boring on TV. Since he's working 12 days straight and is only half through, I will let him have his way.
If we had a kid it would be different but with just us we almost always eat dinner in front of the TV....
I went to a mac store this morning and played for a bit with the iPad. Very cool!!! I like it way better than the Kindle and look forward to getting one. Store doesn't have any and we are watching money with the house and move coming up so will probably have to wait until next year.
Hi, everyone.
Kim, I see you, too. I hate feeling invisible.

I confess...
I just cleaned out my car. Well, the trash bag full of trash anyway and everything that didn't belong in there like cups and such. Oh it was pretty bad. Not nasty trash like food or anything but lots and lots of papers and what not. Now I just have to vacuum it out, clean the inside and go through the car wash before I can install the car seat.
Of course I'm hurting even worse now and must rest on the couch.
I just talked to my mom and she is freaking out going "YOU'RE NESTING IN YOUR CAR AND I DON'T LIKE IT!!!!! MAKE JIMI DO IT, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS STUFF!!!!"
The LAST thing she wants is for me to go into labor before the 28th which is when she is flying into town.
She thinks I should be living my life on the couch right now and doing NOTHING!
Feeling invisible sucks. Kim.
I confess that I have had a good week. My childcare licensing guy showed up. It was the first time I met him as the previous one transferred. It had been almost a year since they last came. Nice regulation huh? And I actually did get written up for not having updated a medical form in one childs' folder. And I didn't write on my fire safety log sheet that I did a fire drill for the month of March. I have fire safety chats all the time. It's not a designated day and time so I forget to record. Every verbal child in my classroom can tell you what we do in a fire, and how to get out the window. ANYWAY. He made so many positive comments about my program and environment, the general ease with which we producted our afternoon. So I still felt proud in spite of the write ups. But no information about my program goes onto the licensing web page but the write ups. He told me that the federal government is giving money to agencies that make stricter guidelines in terms of paperwork. They have no resources to actually improve the quality of care by offering education and trainings. He cringed to write me up but he had to.
To add to my lovely week, I got to spend a great evening with my mom shopping. One of my daycare parents told me today that her 2 year old daughter was teaching her husband yoga moves that I taught her. That made me smile. Tomorrow night post-bedtime I get to go drink wine with two of my best girlfriends. I have a lot to be grateful for.
Bridget, sorry you got written up!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Boo at being written up, Bridget!
Katy, I bought a pretty stellar suitcase type thing for the baby to sit in and on, a feather boa (I ended up not using it since it was windy) and a couple of parasols to add to my collection.

My last day of work is one week from today though and his mom will be here next Sunday, so I think it will be chill time then. I definitely have to take it easier though. I'm becoming SO sore from doing the littlest stuff it seems. And it makes the Braxton Hicks contractions much more intense if I overdo it.
And yes, the childcare thing would be hard for someplace like Australia. I still feel guilty because we went to Napa/Sonoma/Ukiah for 7 days last summer and left JoJo with grandparents alternating every few days. She wouldn't really look at us when we came back - kept pointing at the picture of mommy and daddy on the mantel and ignoring us
I do hope you get to go on a vacation someplace fabulous sometime soon (after the new baby is older?).
Hope Sarah gets on soon!!!

Hey guys, I'm on. I don't think I'm gonna make it.
Ok, I'm at 9,999!
Okay, I'll help you out!

[[File:As seen on tv.jpg|As seen on tv]]
Shopping for the holidays is always so stressful and this year it will be even more so since I am pregnant with twins. The twins are due in October so I won't be able to get anything done after they're born so I gotta get a move on now. I'm thinking the best way for me to get my shopping done is online.
I saw the ad for Flashlight Friends on TV and thought these might be a fun gift for my daughter and my young nieces and nephews. Have you ever ordered something off TV and been terribly disappointed?

Some models cost as little as $5.00. If you ever hit a deer, you might want to spend the money and put these on! What can it hurt?
Buying a deer whistle
A study conducted by the University of Wisconsin concluded that deer did not respond to the whistles, even when drivers were well within the quarter-mile limit designated by manufacturers. Anything blocking the signal of the whistle that stood between it and the deer would also impede the deer from receiving it. According to the study, the whistle did produce an ultrasonic sound at speeds of more than 30 mph, but there was no evidence indicating that the deer heard it.

Little 2-year-old Damian Sutton shocked doctors when he made it through emergency surgery over the weekend to reduce swelling in his brain. But today family members hearing the hard news that his condition is taking a turn for the worse. Doctors at the Children's Hospital where Damian is recovering say 80% of his brain is damaged. They will begin weaning him off medication starting Tuesday. Doctors say if he is even able to breathe on his own, that's likely all he will be able to do. Damian was found severely beaten Tuesday, Aug. 20. Police believe it was by 26-year-old Ronald Dimambro Jr., who was dating Damian's mother at the time and babysitting him while she was at work. Dimambro has admitted to shaking the child, and he is behind bars right now, charged with first-degree child abuse. His bond has been set at $500,000.Meanwhile, Damian's family still staying positive. "He's done so well, he's done better than I think I would do in his position, because I would have given up," Amber Gillespie, Damian's aunt, tells Fox 2. "When it first happened, they told me he wasn't even going to live for, probably, they were hoping for the first couple hours. And he's made it through days now," Damian's mother Nikki Sutton adds. "We're all still hoping. We're not giving up on him." The family will be holding a fundraiser for Damian Tuesday, August 27th, at Younger's Irish Tavern in Romeo from 4PM - 9PM. The restaurant is located at 120 S Main St Romeo, MI 48065.

Calico Apron
Revived: Our Calico Apron from 1973, Still as Functional and Attractive as Ever
Calico Apron
Revived: Our Calico Apron from 1973, Still as Functional and Attractive as Ever
Back in 1973 we got our friend Deborah Pratt Dawson to model our calico apron because the original photo from 1952 was looking a bit dated. Fifteen years ago sales fell off and we discontinued the apron, but recently we began to get requests from women to bring it back, so we started making it again. Deborah, who still has the calico apron she modeled in '73, lives in Connecticut now but gladly paid us a visit so we could have a then/now presentation of this long-adored vintage apron. Now she's happy to have the new apron, as her old one was getting a bit threadbare. We are delighted that women have come back to their senses—some misplaced fashion-sense in the '90s forgot that the primary purpose of an apron is to protect the cook's outfit—and again are wearing the classic calico apron in the kitchen. 60" drawstrings crisscross in back. 100% woven cotton. Machine wash and dry. Imported.
- 100% cotton vintage apron in a calico pattern
- Long ties crisscross in back for a perfect fit
- Has a gathered, ruffled skirt
Old-fashioned calico apron for today's "new-fashioned" woman.

You and your dogs are gonna love scent work. I have 2 labs - one has been doing this since they started at the SPCALA in Long Beach, CA years ago. He is a retired guide dog and was a bit lost without a 'job' to do. I give all the credit to Ron Gaunt, Jill-Marie O'Brien & Amy Herot for helping me turn him back into a dog again. The dogs will have a blast! You will love watching how your dog works the room. Good Luck!!!

Holly, For more information, I suggest contacting:
This sounds like so much fun. No workshops where we live, but maybe we can figure something out. My dog tends to be a bit timid, she's about 10-11 yrs. old and she never has been much on playing. This could be perfect for us.

My dog, a Katrina rescue, is so smart, so sweet, but so bored! This sounds like a great idea, but I need a place near me to train him! I live in New York State, near Hudson, Rhinebeck, Hillsdale. Millerton is not far either. Does anyone know of a place around here????????

I'm hoping to get this started at Pets Alive West, a shelter in Westchester County. If you haven't found anything up there, check in with us as we have a *lot* of older dogs at the shelter who can't do Agility or other strenuous activities, but can do nose work for sure.

not every dog should be neutered, most for sure but if we neuter them all there will be NO dogs within 20 years. scary thought to me. just maybe these are great blood for their breed. but anyone who says neuter EVERY dog and cat is an extremist. that's kinda scary too.
Submitted by Anonymous | January 28 2013 | Permalink
maybe because the one dog came from a shelter and that's why it was fixed. the other dogs probably came from a breeder and had a breeding contract. or they came from byb's and ppl are wanting to breed them for dumb reasons.
Submitted by patty | March 26 2014 | Permalink
If all you noticed was whether or not the dogs were neutered you missed the point of the video. And just so you know this sport allows females in heat to compete, you would probably have a problem with that too.

There is now an official K9 Nose Work blog where you can learn more about the activity and sport, get to know dogs who do K9 Nose Work, and more. Check it out and spread the word about K9 Nose Work. Your dog will love it, and you'll love to see him happier than he's ever been!

I am feeling groggy/hung over now, and I've been dealing with the doctor/pharmacy stuff since I got up so I'm just getting on here now. Interestingly enough, it relaxed me but it isn't a sleeping drug and because my mind was racing like crazy, I didn't really sleep. Just laid there like a slug with my mind going on and on about how annoyed I was. So I slept like crap and now I'm dealing with left-over grogginess.
Called the doctor's office first thing, and the office manager said just to take the Clomid tonight, days 4-8. I actually think it will work out okay. I tend to O later, and they doctor wanted me in for my ultrasound on day 15, which is a Sunday, so when I scheduled it a few days ago she asked me to come in Friday (day 13). When I did that before, it was too early, and I was out an extra $100 for an unnecessary appointment, plus having to go back again on Monday (and take time off from work for all of it). So I convinced her to make the appointment on Monday, day 16. So actually, taking the Clomid a day later may be a good thing - but I know my body responds the way it's supposed to when I take it day 3-7. I've never tried it any other day. For some reason, doctors always say either 3-7 or 5-9, but never 4-8. Anyway, we'll give it a shot.
I also told her I specifically wanted her to ask the doctor if there was a risk to trying the treatment with the Clomazepam in my body right now. She did go and ask him, and he said it was okay, but he specifically said to make a complaint with my state's Board of Pharmacy. DH and I took pictures of everything and scanned all the labels into my computer, and I filed the complaint this afternoon. So I have a ton of evidence that at least I have the Clomazepam in my possession. They'll likely just get a letter from the Pharmacy Board, but it said if there is a pattern of incompetence they will call a hearing.
I also called the Pharmacy and told them what happened, and asked them to fill my Clomid prescription properly so I could pick it up when I came in. The woman didn't believe me and wanted to know how I knew they gave me Clomazepam (because it was PRINTED on the LABEL, you idiot!) and refused to fill it until I proved they'd filled it wrong, even if that meant me sitting in the pharmacy for an hour waiting for them to correct their error. When I got down there (much later, because I'd spent an hour or so photographing and scanning it all) she had told the pharmacist about it and got him to come out and deal with it. He did prepare my prescription in advance, and just said, "I'm sorry. It's a good thing you didn't take any." I pointed out that I DID take some (which I told the woman in the phone call) and he asked if I experienced any drowsiness. Yes, I did. "Oh. I'm sorry. Here's your prescription."
Seriously? That's all? Not, here's a coupon for your inconvenience, or anything? I am so ticked off. So I came right home and filled out the Pharmacy Board complaint. I think I am also going to complain to CVS, but I'm not sure whether I should ask for the manager of the local store, or if I should contact their corporate headquarters. I'm just infuriated by it all.
Erin, on a totally unrelated note, your post combined with all the scholarship talk for some reason reminded me of a guy DH knew in the army who was a white South African. He came to the US and apparent got a scholarship for African immigrants to pay for his college education. The way DH told it was very funny, but I guess the people who awarded him the scholarship were really angry when they found out he was white.

Sometimes I get the weird desire to google something and then just see what happens. Sometimes it's sexual in nature like "cat peeing on boobs" and sometimes it's to actually learn something like "what the hell is a milliarcsecond". Other times, times like today I decide to search something that I may be able to use on the site. Today I googled: "brewers tattoo". Here's what I found:
