While shopping for puppies, I met a few mommy and daddy dogs. Some of them looked a little bit like Isis, except with drooping nipples, and one had a long coat and a black face and looked nothing like her. I asked how old they are and learned that they’re three. Isis is three. ButContinue reading “An old maid, just like my daughter”

Keeping it real
All is not as well as I so optimistically declared last week. My foot still bothers me and my TMJ has gotten bad again. Active release therapy for TMJ is not as much fun as having my foot rubbed, and I feel sore after. I’ve had two treatments and I hope that it’s working, becauseContinue reading “Keeping it real”
Cranky pants
Things have been going pretty well of late. My foot is on the road to recovery, and I have resumed some of my exercise classes. Summer is near, etc. etc. Even in the face of “going pretty well of late,” sometimes I accidentally put on my cranky pants. I don’t even realize I’m wearing them.Continue reading “Cranky pants”
A proverbial random thought that has bothered me, literally, forever
There is no hope for hopefully I heard a caller to a radio show yesterday talk about meeting his wife. He referred to himself as “The proverbial bad boy.” How does that proverb go again? Something about a bad boy in good fortune being in want of a wife? It reminded me of another oft-misusedContinue reading “A proverbial random thought that has bothered me, literally, forever”
Don’t come around here no more
I had a “You don’t belong in Hollywood anymore” dream last night. I was visiting an old friend at a studio. I couldn’t remember where to find him, so I kept getting lost and seeing big groups of movie stars wandering around together. I’d see them and think, “Oh, there’s the cast of Aliens. Rob’sContinue reading “Don’t come around here no more”
At the seams it seems
Remember when I was all, “Working out with kettlebells is the greatest exercise ever. I’m going to do it all the time and be superfit” ? And then got the most debilitating headache of my life and realized that I use my neck and shoulders way too much and continuing with that form of exerciseContinue reading “At the seams it seems”
Roses and thorns
It was suggested to me that I would feel more energized and motivated throughout the day if I woke up early and exercised. And if I spent less time on the couch, watching TV (gasp). This is true, I noticed it when I worked out in my pajamas to a 6 a.m. German exercise showContinue reading “Roses and thorns”
Happiness is a warm puppy
If anyone ever asks, the way to my heart is with a dog. You know how some people are baby crazy? I’m dog crazy. My best friend just had a baby and he is beautiful. I met him at a week and a half and I wanted to hold him. His aunt said, “You canContinue reading “Happiness is a warm puppy”
Visualizing success
Isis has progressed in her training to the point that she can be in a class with other dogs. I’m so proud of her and she’s doing really well. She hasn’t been around other dogs in about a year. Especially other reactive dogs and while on leash. Other dogs are working at a more “advanced”Continue reading “Visualizing success”
Ethics test
I just completely forgot what side of the car my gas tank was on. I know this happens to a lot of people. You pull in, get out of the car, and whoops, you’re on the wrong side. I guess my excuse is that I drive another car for work sometimes and its gas tankContinue reading “Ethics test”
