Which is worse, that my family will spam me with sappy angel poems or that I'll tear up when I read them?

It's definitely their fault for sending them, Trudy.

Happy b-day, Daisy!

I have not yet discovered whether he likes carrots.

The cat Harvey likes carrots. I suppose that's reasonable considering he's named after a 6 foot tall rabbit. What's not reasonable is how he will try to eat them when they are rock-hard out of the freezer.

Steph, I'm not moving, unfortunately. Need to pay my car loan off first. -t just moved though, maybe you were thinking about her?

You're right -- it was the single-letter username that threw me off.

Happy Birthday, Daisy!

Healthy vibes for your pup, Erika. I hope she's just dealing with a quickly passing upset tummy.

I'm on vacation this week without any travel plans (the first week of vacation in YEARS that I'm not on a plane), so I made myself a huge to-do list of things that need done around the house. Cleaning, organizing, laundry... that kind of thing.

It's feeling a bit overwhelming right now but it's only Monday and I've already accomplished quite a bit. The kitchen, dining room, and my bedroom are basically finished. I still have the living room, bathroom and guestroom to do though. The guestroom is going to kick my ass.

Nicole, that is awfully productive of you for your first day of vacation.

Erika - hope that your dog feels better soon - have you changed dog food lately? sox-mutt always hurls when we change her food. when she chews on something really bad, like a coke can? no problem whatsoever. She's contrary.

Sparky reminds me I haven't posted commando training news lately - mostly really good - the whole thing totally worked, except for yesterday, which was more like KristenTs Kitten, without the mattress - so the score is now: toddler: 1, carpet: 0.

Oh, yes, I knew I forgot something: Feel-better~ma for pup of erika.

She seems a bit more alert since I posted last.And has eaten again, but it's been only a few minutes so I can't tell if that's good or not. Was feeling pretty sorry for myself till I caught this billy chick(all y'all Homicide fans should remember about billies) trying to keep ahold of the guy who did her when she was passed out. Even for Balmer, that shit's off the hook. Compared to her, I'm just fine, thank you. With the heaviest white-folks Baltimore accent "know" and "now" have about three syllables. Billies *do* talk too much.

Oops. I should've mentioned that I stayed home most of the weekend to get a head start on the to-do list.

Commando training~ma, Sox. It sounds like it's going fairly well, minus one mishap.

Erika, I should have the first four discs of season 7 of H:LotS in my mailbox tomorrow, thanks to Netflix. I'd been spreading out my watching of the seasons because I didn't want them to come to an end... but after seeing the finale for season 6, I *had* to bump 7 up on the queue.
