Sorry to have been gone so long

The holidays have wiped me out! Not literally because I didn't spend a dime. I made ALL presents. I made dress up suitcases for the grandkids, pictures in frames for everyone else. I realized last year when the kids were opening 312 presents and not caring about 1 that a real gift should be something that would last. I thought of giving them a cow or pig or chicken from that charity that then gives them to a family that can self-sustain, but I didn't. I did do that, just not in the kids' names. Therefore the dress up suitcases. Maybe after all the hoopla their imaginations will take over. One could hope.

Christmas was blah for me. Jerry Sweet died four years ago. I'm still trying to get over it.

Now about this tattoo - every time I see my inside forearm I'm having a hard time reconcilling the tattoo with the me. You know I'm a pretty straight laced computer consultant and then the tattoo. Don't get me wrong I love the tattoo, it's helping me to say goodbye, but I'm just having a hard time with my me being branded like that. I'll adjust.

Happy New Year to all... May it bring exactly what you want. (me too except I don't know what I want!)

Letter from Meja

Does anyone know where Justin Craig Kidwell is? I was plugged into his butt recently and all of a sudden he's gone. Where Justin is?

He's goooooooonnnnne oh oh oh oh

Meja is very depressed that her Justin has left her. She really is depressed. Moping around looking for him. Her allegiance obviously can turn on a dime. She'll have to do with Mommy.

Bobo on the other hand is all 'Thank God I finally got my couch back'. 'Justin, who that is?'

It's very cold in Michigan. From one who moved from Florida three months ago I'm freaking cold!

Letter from Bobo

Bobo the Sharpei puppy here... It's snowing I don't care for it.
Yesterday Meja and I were just frolicking with Alfie our friend next door and there was about 3 inches of snow. It was fun. Today? not so freaking much (I have to say freaking because mommy says we can't curse but you know what I meant?)

I just got up and went out to pee and the snow? the snow was up to my butt Bob! I'm not kidding. I had to do something other than pee and my butt was in the snow! How embarrassing.

Meja wouldn't even go out the door. She looked at all that snow and turned around and went back to bed with Justin. Speaking of Meja and Justin, she is so in love with him. She keeps trying to screw her nose right up his butt. (she's always been a little weird) Up north Justin was all 'where's Meja' and I was all 'up your butt dude'. I wonder how I can get her into his suitcase when he leaves? Any suggestions?

I think he's ok and all but come on he's just a guy and he's my brother!

Tattoo me

I got a tattoo!!! Of an angel baby with RIP 10/9/04. I've wanted to do if for, well 4 years but was too chicken. But with Justin here, he got one too, my bravery shot up. It was cathartic. My way of maybe finally saying goodbye. Next year we're going to scatter him in his favorite lake in Horsehead Lake outside of Mecosta Michigan.

The puppies are all, were's out pictures forever imprinted on your arm mommy? Ah never puppies...

he's here

And yeah. Bobo and Meja are all 'what the eff' who dude is? Why's he keep making us be a baby? Both my boys have always picked up the puppies and held them like babies. Now at 40 and 70 lbs respectively they're 'the fuck' put me down. 'tHe puppies' is a schtick we put on for mommy. Quit it out!

The trouble with planning

So Justin is coming tonight. His girlfriend begged off at the last minute. I mean the very last minute. He called and said 'Cheryl can get her surgery this week so she's not coming'. I said 'she found that out on Saturday Justin'? Then it was her girlfriend is opening a store and she needs Cheryl to work there. Yeah well bullshit! I call bullshit!

Bygones. As long as Justin shows up I'm good. And he just called from the Atlanta airport so I know he left Denver ;)

What do you get when you cross a beatle with a dog from Australia?

Dingo Starr.....


yah I'm killin here...

What is it with insomnia

Is the entire blogosphere having trouble sleeping? I'm finding posts from people at 2,3 5 am then still at 10, 11 12 pm.

The puppies are beginning to get a bit p'd off about this whole not sleeping thing. If I stay in bed and write Bobo is pissed. If I come out to the living room Meja is pissed. Someone is pissed. Least of all me because I CAN'T SLEEP! Reading isn't even helping.

I saw it's a full or almost full moon tonight so maybe that's it.

The boy 'and his girl' are coming Saturday, yeah!!! If there's any drama I'm kicking someone's butt (hear me Justin?).

Funny bone strikes

So. when a dog is walking across the road which comes first the Sharpei or the egg? Meja. She's like a stealth sneaker awayer. Waiting for the dogs to come in from a peepie and all of a sudden no Meja. Where's the baby? I'm starting to put my boots on and go get the b*tch and there she is. Her delicate feets were cold so she had to go WAY around the house to get back to the french doors. She DID NOT get a treat.

Could someone tell this dog that if you walk around the house and it takes longer to get to the same place but it's not deeper snow, it's still longer? Thanks bye.

Bobo and Meja got an award

Dozer the beautiful pit bull gave Bobo and Meja an award:

It's the Kreative Blogger award. And now without further ado Bobo and Meja will take over:

We would just like to say thank you to the academy for this award, which is deserved. We wish our mommy could put the award on this blog but she doesn't know how. But she thanks Dozer's people for giving it to us.

And now 6 things we are thankful for:

Meja:

Bobo - Cause he's slower than me and I can bites him. But mommy says don't bite Bobo, Meja, but he's very very bite able.
Treats - Every time I come in the house for going potty mommy gives me a treat. Don't tell her but sometimes I just go out so I can come right back in so I can haves a treat.
Kong toy with stuffing - Yummy
My monkey toy - mommy says it's my baby but it's a monkey - duh mommy.
Getting foods with Caesar foods in it.
Our next door neighbor dogs Misty and Tipper, though mommy calls Tipper 'Ms. Barks a lot' cause she barks a lot.


Bobo:

I should say Meja but she bites.
Mommy - She says good boy good boy and sometimes I'm not so good.
My spiked Harley collar - I look really tough and mommy says I'm a baby (I'm not a puppy baby mommy)
Kong toy with stuffing - Have you people seen the stuffing what goes in the Kong toy? Yummy
My black dog toy - Mommy says I only love it cause it looks like me. But I love it cause I love it.
All the room to run at our new house. Mommy says it acres but I just knows I can run and run and run and it's fun not to be in a fence.

That's all for now. Mommy will only let us on the puter for a little bit cause she says we get it all wet. Well, Mommy, we got lots of face!

Inside Christmasing

I realize I said I 'Christmas'd' the house long ago but that was outside. Now the inside is a wonderland. What would John Mayer think? 'My house is a wonderland' :-)

Walking in the rain?

Just took the pups out for a walk. In the rain? It's colder than a witches t*t but it's raining. I guess I forgot how Michigan is. Weird...

But we've had a great day. I've been out and walked the dogs three times today. They have a new friend - Alfie a girl puppy German Shepherd and Meja thinks she can take her. No matter that Alfie has about 35 pounds on her, Meja is still Alpha and Alfie says, k, no problem, I'll eat you if I have to.

Sweet, they're playin. Good to see the pups having fun, and mommy too.

It's a Sweet Christmas

So I decorated the teeny house for Christmas (I'm going to call it the 'Teeny House' from now on). And I must say when you decorate a 650 sq ft house it doesn't take much!

I've got 11 stockings up and the walls are now covered. I've got two strings of garland up and the windows are now covered. I've got 35 Santa bears out and the entire house is now covered.

So it's gonna be a Sweet Christmas. Jerry Sweet sucks less today.

Charles Osgood

Charles Osgood, I'm having a glass of wine with Charles Osgood. I believe Charles Kuralt may be dead, my apologies.

Random Sunday

I went to Pontiac for a couple days for my sister's birthday. She's 59 how'd that happen.

The pups were angels even with a cat in the house. I really lucked out with those dogs. They mind and were never formally taught a thing. I think loves does it.

It's cold here in Michigan this morning. I'm talking cold, 11 degrees! But I love it. Beats Florida in my book.

I bought a little heater that looks like a fireplace, I love it and it keeps the floors warm.

I've decorated the house for Christmas. It's the first time since Jerry died that I've done that. I used to love love love Christmas, it's coming back. Yeah!

I'm thinking about having a glass of wine for breakfast with Charles Kuralt, is that bad?

It took me 2 1/2 hours to get home yesterday, the roads were that bad. I do miss
that in Florida you don't have to worry about black ice.

Well that's my randomness for this morning. If I think of anything else you need to know I'll tell ya.

I think I'm going to try to figure out how to post pictures so you can see these cutey pups.
