18 miles today. 10 min. mile pace. I timed it so I'd be back at my house at the 12 mile mark so I could take Sally Derg on the last 6 miles. 15 schnitzengreuben's 7 miles is her limit. :) When she saw that I had come back she was all sad faces because she knew I was walking without her, then I grabbed her leash and she crawled towards me with her front paws then wriggled against my leg to make me laugh. Why are dogs so rad?
I have pictures that are making me a) laugh and/or b) happy under the cut.


I say "faaaaaabulous!" like Oprah, and it both hurts and happies my brain.

He'll use you to plug up the hole in the ozone from those hairdos, ladies. This is one of my most favorites of all time. It can go so many ways....

I was happy to have voted and I got a sticker! Who doesn't like stickers? I really need to clean that mirror, sheesh.

THIS is what a pecan pie looks like. Are you listening Alan Ball of True Blood? Note: it is delicious. I couldn't help myself and cut a piece last night after the kids went to bed. :)

Don't even try and tell me that is not the cutest perpy derg ferce in the whole werld becerse I will nert berlierve yer. I actually said that out loud as I wrote it. I make no apologies for who I am.
NaNoWriMo: who's doing it? I'm signing up later today, and I plan on using it to finish up "Oh My Heck" (which, cough, I started last NaNo...) and maybe writing a full-length story I've had sketched out for about five years now... It'll feel good to have a goal.
Oooh, I made the chicken and dumpling recipe from yesterday for last night's dinner and I added some Parmesan cheese to the dumpling batter and that is a happy flavor explosion in my mouth, let me tell you. I have leftovers for lunch in a bit. *pats tummy*
[ETA] I meant to add this link earlier: a wine search engine! Know the region and year but not the name? Or any other combo? Chances are they have it, with a picture of the label, too! I've found a few that I couldn't remember the name, just the region and sundries. YAY!

Your photos make me GLEE. And the hairspray in that one is sort of painful to look upon. Also, I cannot WAIT to try that recipe!!!

He's about the same size as Buddy but clearly with much growing still to do. He's 18 months, so full height, but not filled out. He's going to be thick.

I voted yesterday and my sticker is now proudly stuck to my Mac. :)

I want to eat that entire pie and cuddle your dog. And you'd know I'd do it.

Then I can pick up the slack mid-month on, while everyone else is getting worn out and maybe a bit busy with holiday preparations (we're going to stay in this area for Thanksgiving, so I should be fairly chill, especially in comparison to the weeks prior to that).

Date: 2008-10-23 11:19 pm (UTC)Those "The Faith Tones." Please tell me that you photoshopped that cover. Because, words cannot express my glee at seeing that. Drag-queens? Mike Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jay Leno/Woody Allen. Does the bouffant mean that one is that much closer to Jesus?
Dog = made of awesome.

I love my Sally. She just got a vigorous brushing and is happily gnawing on a treat, her tail thumping.

Date: 2008-10-24 12:17 am (UTC)That pecan pie looks so awesome and yes, it is exactly the way a pecan pie should look. Um, I have no idea what the one on True Blood looked like but it sounded nasty. I pity those who don't have genuine experience of the real thing.
Now -- I'm off to laugh at the first three pics again...

Date: 2008-10-24 01:30 am (UTC)Oh, Anne, the pie on that show was so gross. It looked like a frozen pie crust (like, still frozen) with chocolate pudding slopped on it and pecans laid on top. It just looked nasty and plastic. Bleh.
I love the Hand Jive picture. :D

You are really pretty! And if it's any consolation, my mirror(s) (I have two bathrooms) look about the same as yours. That stuff happens when you have 5 people and a dog living under one roof. You should see the rest of my house = FAIL!

Date: 2008-10-24 12:06 pm (UTC)My Sally... such a dorky love. <3 And thanks! I will say that the rest of mmy house is clean, but now I have an activity to do instead of polishing off that pecan pie... LOL!

Also, may I hug your dog? I'll massage thighs in exchange for puppy hugs. ...I'll massage more if the pecan pie is included.

I love the old covers to 60s lesbian bodice rippers - they're so evil and yet, so horny!
