It’s my love’s birthday today! (He never reads this blog unless I specifically tell him I want him to, so I shall do that this evening…) Happy Birthday to you! I know today is pretty low-key, with it being a Wednesday/workday and all, but we will have a lovely dinner with the boys and of course you’ll open the presents that I spent $5,000 on…err, I mean, the presents I bought within the constraints of our budget! Of course, since this is your birthday post I will go on about how fabulous a person I think you are. Because I really do! From the day when I saw you, “holding…

The Best Thing Ever, For Navigating Yourself Away From the Highway
I took a roadtrip yesterday, up to the land of cheesecurds, beer, and the Packers.

The Dog Proves Once Again That No Matter How Much She Wants To Be a Human, She Will Never Be One
Fulfilling the commitment I made to myself to “move daily”, I just got back from a 40 minute walk with Roxie. It was one of the most annoying walks I’ve had in a long time. Not only was she “reverse sneezy”, but it was practically endless today. Unlike “most” beagles, she does not stand still while she does this during a walk: she just keeps going. I make her sit for a couple of seconds and she stops, but as soon as we resume walking she begins again and I’m looking over my shoulder wondering how many people are outside thinking I’m a terrible pet owner for walking a dog…

Totally In Character, I’m Going To Overdo It Today
This is going to be a multiple-post day, so hang in there with me! I have tough questions coming out my ears, a story to tell, a meme to do, and a birthday to celebrate… So, come back and see me on a regular basis throughout the day!
