Winter arrived with a vengeance. They keep changing how much snow we will get. I am thinking pretty hard to measure when it is blowing all over the place!!

I have two very squirrely JRT's. Snow means big game hunting. Sorry kids but it will have to wait until tomorrow after work.

I am glad I filled up the tank and got groceries. The only thing I had to do on the way home was to take advantage of a $5.00 off coupon for the pups' food.

I must note that I received a check for medical reimbursements so I only have to feel half as bad about the money I spent. It is amazing how I can justify and actually I wasn't feeling too bad about it anyways. These items will last for years and with VoIP coming into the building who knows if I will have a job or be able to get one that supports us in the manner we have become accustomed to. This is a good skill to possess but perhaps I wouldn't spend so much if I didn't have this uncanny ability?!?!

My idea for a inside dog park has been taken. Darn it! That would have been so much fun. I want to go take a look at it. Maybe it is only big dogs and I could open a small dog park.

I really wanted to go check the Mare tonight but there is no way I am venturing out to be at the mercy of idiots behind the wheel.

Time to pull out the Doc Martins


They take some time to lace up but they are sweet, sweet, sweet. The plans I have for them are for hunting in the brush with the pups. You never want to be in a hurry to get in or out of them though. Now that they are broken in they are just lovely. Looks like they could use a shine. Maybe tomorrow if I am still unable to visit Mare.

I am finishing the next to the last of Charlaine Harris' Sookie novels. I loved this passage:

There were definitely parts of my character I didn't approve of, and maybe from time to time I had moments when I didn't like myself much. But I got through each day as it came to me, and so far I'd survived everything life had thrown at me. I could only hope that the survival was worth the price I'd paid.

It is such a pity that it takes so long for one to be comfortable in one's own skin. So much time wasted - precious time. I am glad that I do what I want and when I want. I do what makes me happy and content. Who knows what will come next. I hope you can say you are happy.

Life is good today . . .
