I am seriously having a hard time walking. It hurts so bad.

I am seriously having a hard time walking. It hurts so bad. 🙁

I haven't done much since we got home. I am sore like whoa. Thankfully, I am finally warmed up, at least.

I have let the dogs out a few times and I keep seeing like... big military vehicles going up my street. Is that happening everywhere? Are they just out helping people, or making sure that no one is out, or what?

We just got home from work. We left at 11:30 am.

We just got home from work.  We left at 11:30 am.  😳

The roads were so bad that it took us an hour to make it two miles in the car.  People were scared to move because they were sliding everywhere.  It was awful.

So... we decided to walk home.  Shaun left his car at Ruby Tuesday at around 12:30 so that is when our journey on foot began.

We stopped at Saks High School to get Shadow then headed home.  All in all me and Shaun walked a little over 7 miles today.  Shadow walked the last 1.5 miles with us.

I am tired.  I am sore.  My face is chapped.  My leg benders ache.  And now I'm getting cold.  Blegh.

I didn't hate it, though.  I didn't like when the snow was blowing right at my face, but there was nothing to do about it.  We stopped and pushed a few people who couldn't get up hills and one lady drove us like, 10 feet up a hill, but ohmygosh, I APPRECIATED THAT.

It was nice, at least, to see everyone stopping and helping each other.  There were a lot of folks out helping - pulling, pushing, either with just themselves or their cars.  But the way the cars were sliding and losing control I did feel much safer on foot.  I do not regret just getting out and walking today.

I did great all day - didn't fall or anything until AFTER we got Shadow.  By that point I was so exhausted and sore that I wasn't very nimble on my feet.  I busted my ass TWICE on the last 1.5 miles.  I am going to be sore as a mofo tomorrow.  😳

Now I'm heading to my couch.  I plan to not move anytime soon so if you need me that's where I'll be.  ❤

The school has called twice...

The school has called twice to say that they're letting out early today and starting late tomorrow. I went to let the dogs out and saw that it was snowing. So that explains it. 😝

I am so tired and I feel kinda crappy.

I am so tired and I feel kinda crappy. Nothing too bad, but I'm coughing sometimes and my throat is kind of itchy and I bit the side of my tongue wayyy in the back - so that hurts.

I think I'm mostly getting over my drug binge this past week. I drank coffee every morning with breakfast last week. Just half a cup a day and it was good. I was hooked by the weekend, though. I decided to have some coffee on Saturday and then promptly barfed it back up. I guess I should have eaten. 

Actually, I shouldn't have been drinking coffee so I quit. I'm probably just gonna feel crappy for a few days. That's what I get!

The Chupacabra...

The Chupacabra is wedged between my back and the back of my chair.  She seems quite comfy.  It's not so bad for me, either.

See Laurel - I told you should wouldn't be a lap dog!  😛

I don't understand...

I don't understand how I should be photographing a flakie nail polish to make the colors show.  I look at my nails, and they are colorful and pretty... and I take a picture of them, and they don't look like what I see.  Am I crazy?

I am not a photography person, but I would assume that since all the nail blogs can swatch them and show the colors, that it is not rocket science, right?

Y'all remember my Chupacabra?

ADOPTED 04/13/14 - Y'all remember this little girl?  My Chupacabra?

Well, she's back.  She wasn't a great fit for her last home and sometimes that just happens.  So I'm looking for a new place for her to go.  It is really hard for me to not keep her myself - I just love her little butt - but I have 6.5 dogs already and my plan was never to keep her - just to help her out.  If you don't remember:  I found her at an abandoned house on my street.  She was hungry and scared and had an unknown black substance on her.  That was just not ok.

She is up to date on shots, but does need to be spayed.  She is in heat right now so I'm waiting until that is done before I make her an appointment because I don't want there to be any complications.  I am keeping her under lock and key so she will not be getting pregnant.

She's a sweetheart.  A little lap dog.  Seems to prefer cats to dogs.  If you have cats that will play with her and snuggle with her she will be happy.  She will bark at cats that don't like her.

She has a crate, some puppy pads, a bed, some food, and a boat-load of toys.

She's doing great with her house training.  She has not had any accidents in her crate.  She will use a puppy pad if one is available, but sometimes she misses.  I think it is better to take her outside as soon as she comes out of her crate.

Please contact me if you are interested in giving Chupa a home.  Please share.

She will only go to a home that will keep her indoors, (and preferably one with a fence).  Photos and updates are part of the deal so it is mandatory that where ever she goes her adopter keep in touch.  Not all the time, but I have a soft spot for this one so I need to know she's ok.  ❤
