The good… the sun is returning and shinning brightly.

The bad… the sun is returning and shinning brightly on all the dust I couldn’t see during the winter when it was dark.

I understand about cheating in a relationship. It happens. But how the hell did those women look at Newt Gingrich and think, “I gotta have me some of that!”

Went to Target and walked the entire width and breath of the store twice before finding someone to help me. They eventually led me to what was left of the As Seen On TV section. No pajama jeans. But…

While having my hair done my hairdresser said she’d seen them in Fred Meyers. So I went over there and once again did about two miles of searching up and down every aisle until some kind store person rescued me and brought me to the tiny section of what was left of their As Seen On TV section. They had some

Write in Steven Colbert. He’s is at least as intelligent as any current candidate from any party and probably smarter than most. Lisa won a senate seat on a write in vote. I say we elect Steven Colbert the same way.

So I’m sitting in a dental chair… right off not one of my favorite moments in life… and the very nice young man who claims to be old enough to have graduated from dental school and done a root canal on me last year asks how the tooth feels. I tell him that I barely remember having the root canal and have had no pain or any problems since he did it. He allows as how I was pretty drugged when my friend drove me to the appointment saying, “You’re of that generation that doesn’t like to come to dentists

I tried using pill pockets for the liquid meds my dog was taking but even the biggest pocket held very little liquid before overflowing. I would have had to give her a bag of them for each dose… though, I should add, they are a marvel for administering pills. My dogs especially love the duck flavored ones.

I tried the syringe and squirting it down her throat. That’s how I ended up with a pink and white kitchen where once it had only been white. I have to admit I’m in awe of just how long I could hold her

It occurs to me that Joe Paterno is most probably Catholic. If not, he must at least be able to read. Or have ears to hear TV and radio broadcasts.  So if his excuse for letting his staff screw little kids while doing nothing is that he didn’t even know about that stuff or what he should do… well, it seems to me that a decade of headlines above the fold concerning Catholic priests and little boys should have perhaps given him at least a little hint. Don’t cha think….?

So I’m weaning Blondie off the prednisone because I hate what it’s doing to her. I found a decongestant I could give her safely through an online vet website. But getting a dog to take 12.5 ml of a liquid that dog does not want to take is not an easy task. Our first attempt yesterday resulted in red sticky stuff spread over my entire kitchen and dog and me. Then I tried to drip it into bread and cover the bread with peanut butter. It’s amazing how she can get all the peanut butter off without ever touching the
