Link to My Heart

June 30, 2011

It was February of 2000. We walked up and down the aisles of the local pound looking for just the right dog. They were all so cute. Adam was 9, Marisa was 13. “How can we choose?” “I love them all already” were said over and over by both of them. Then we saw her. [...]

Everyones Best Friend

June 29, 2011

Link has been with us for 11+ years. For the past month she has taken to her bed, not wanting to go outside for a walk, not barking at anything. For the past 3 weeks she has lost control of her bowels on numerous occasions and her bladder more often than not. For the past [...]

Silk – 10 Day Challenge

June 17, 2011

Silk Soy Milk asked me if I would do a 10 Day Challenge. Drink Silk Soy Milk for 10 days and give my opinion on it. Of course. I can do anything for 10 days. They were going to send a coupon to cover the cost. Great. Sidebar: I am one of those review bloggers [...]

Trifecta

March 1, 2011

I have had a relapse, with the Pneumonia spreading to my right lung now (which could actually make it called Double Pneumonia now). Marisa has been diagnosed with severe allergies, requiring 3 different prescriptions (plus another one for the babies who also have severe allergies). And Kathy has a cold. The same damn cold over [...]

Set Back

February 20, 2011

I just wrote in the last post about being raised as an Amazon Van Houten Woman. About being able to be knocked down and getting back up for another round. ABout being able to handle anything life threw at me. But I’ll be damned if this sick is not going to be my kryptonite. Just [...]

Deep Down True

February 17, 2011

It took me a little while to appreciate this book. A recently single mother of two finding her way on her own and most importantly discovering herself. Throughout the first half of the book I thought she was insipid and spineless and wanted to just smack her. You see, I am an Amazon Van Houten [...]

Pneumonia

February 16, 2011

Yep, that’s what I (un)officially have. I have a friend and her primary Dr. is a very good friend of her family. He agreed to see me at no cost after hours yesterday. According to him, I am on the “last legs” of Pneumonia. That I probably suffered the worst of it about 10-12 days [...]
