I Am Alive..

It really hasn't been that long since I posted, but I guess because I got into a rhythm there for a bit, and was posting more often.. I feel like I've been slacking on my blogging duties. Anyway, for my 1 "official" follower, and the anonymous stalkers... I am alive. :)

Some updates:

1) Jovi is also alive. That was never really a question, but she had 2 things going on. First, I found a lump on her shoulder blade (vet said it was from her vaccine the week before, so whew.. I was incredibly worried and sad when I found it, thinking my poor puppy had a tumor or something!). Second thing was that she ended up (somehow in her spastic moods of running laps around the imaginary track in my living room) splitting one of her paw nails down both sides, and wasn't putting pressure on it anymore. So, being the overreacter that I sometimes am, I put her in the car and booked it to PetSmart to see what needed to be done. In my unneccesary haste, I got to PetSmart to realize that I had not brought her leash. I am an idiot. So I just went inside and told them the deal and they gave me a vague analysis from my descriptions, as well as some vague costs. I didn't want to do anything without talking to my vet. This "update" is getting longer than I anticipated. Long story short, they didn't have to remove the nail like PetSmart told me, and the vet cut her nails way back, put her on anti-inflammatory medicine as well as some pain meds AND gave her one of those fun lamp shades to wear on her head so she stopped licking her paw... aaaaaand she's back to normal. And still a spaz.
(PS - I couldn't help but laugh at her as she clumsily ran into everything with the lamp shade on. And I do mean everything... walls, chairs, me..)

2) The job is still spectacular and I love it.

3) I came in 2nd place in one of my fantasy football leagues again.. always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

4) I got XM Radio for Christmas and I'm developing a slight obsession with clicking through hundreds of stations while I drive. Pretty sure I don't need 3 stations all devoted to Elvis, but dangit, I listen anyway!

5) Craig got some new furniture today! I'm waiting on laundry to dry as I type, before I go over there and see the product of mucho shopping around and comparing. He also bought a Tempurpedic Mattress, and is still experiencing "Buyer's Remorse" from making such a large purchase. It's funny though.. he went to the store 4 times before doing it.. it's not like it was an impulse buy. I learn so much about him everyday.. and don't worry.. I talked him down from the edge. :) I mean, he bought a mattress that NASA is responsible for designing... he knew that on day 1. How remorseful could he be?! :)

Ok, well that's all I can think of now. I'm almost positive there have been things that I was going to write about since it's been SUCH a busy Christmas, but I can't remember them. Oh, I do remember one thing.. and I'll leave you with this little tidbit...

I HATE SHOPPING. I HATE PARKING FOR SHOPPING. I HATE SHOPPING.
