SAKS AREA:

SAKS AREA: I keep seeing a blonde retriever-looking dog with a red collar with NO ID running around my neighborhood. I'm not sure if he's lost or just roaming, so I haven't attempted to catch him.

If he or she is yours and you see this, I will be happy to help get him off the streets if you need me to. Also, please tag your dogs and keep them put up! I'm afraid he's gonna be hit by a car! 🙁

Please share this, in case he is lost!  No photo - I only ever know he's around when my dogs go nuts, and they bark and run him off before I can get them all wrangled and grab the camera.  🙁

Oh my gosh - my bedroom is an ice box.

Oh my gosh - my bedroom is an ice box.  After getting into my freezing cold bed last night, I'm officially asking Santa to bring me a heated blanket.  I'd almost rather sleep in the bathroom floor than my bed when it's that damn cold.  🙁

[Yes, I have the heat on.  But my room stays at least 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house.  Everyone else would be burning up if I was warm.  I need a warm blanket.  Or a space heater.  Something!]

Girling it up a little bit tonight.

Girling it up a little bit tonight. It really must be the end of the world. 😳

Oh my gosh, my cat is making the weirdest sounds right now.

Oh my gosh, my cat is making the weirdest sounds right now.  She's purring, meowing, squeaking, trilling, "herro"ing...  What in the world does she have to say?  I have to go and check on her.  LOL

It was Midna! That's so weird. Usually Snaga is the noisy one. I guess she was just in a talkative mood. LOL

I'm off to do my nails.

I'm off to do my nails.  I hope I come up with a better idea than my last!  LOL

I'm not really into holidays, but...

I'm not really into holidays, but I'm TRYING to be festive. LOL These are really sparkly, but it's been so cloudy that I haven't been able to get a good photo of them. 🙁 Oh well. You probably get the idea. 😛

Apologies to my Christian friends, but...

Apologies to my Christian friends, but talking to your imaginary friend doesn't solve anything.  "Letting god back in schools" wouldn't have stopped this tragedy.  He's allowed in movie theaters, after all, and that didn't stop the Aurora psycho.

I mean, I WILL say that I could totally understand how it might be comforting to think that dude is burning in hell right now.  But I believe he's right back where he was before he existed, whatever that was.  He probably doesn't have a care in the world right now.

Anyway, all that to say that this message I received from the superintendent this morning REALLY, REALLY annoys me.  No, I don't want dude to pray.  I don't want the other parents to pray.  How about stationing more cops at the schools?  DUH.  Actual action trumps a prayer any day.  WE have the power.

Rant over.
