I was just having a miserable weekend last weekend… but at the same time, I was very happy to be spending time with some of my friends. And I was wondering if it’s cheesy or tacky to tell friends, and family, how much they really mean to me. I didn’t have friends when I was [...]

As I was loading the dish washer the other day.. my husband there with me, kinda helping, kinda overseeing, I just had to laugh and think. I wasn’t doing it quite the way he thought it should be done. And granted, I’m not the best dishwasher loader in the world. I stack stuff together too [...]

Fitting in with people is, to put it lightly, hard. When I was younger I used to think I could get along with just about anyone. As I get older, I am pickier, and I think I maybe I can tolerate anyone. But sometimes it’s just hard! I missed out on a lot of social [...]

I find it interesting that us humans celebrate with food. We reward ourselves with food when something good happens. We comfort ourselves with food when something bad happens. I could so easily be 500 pounds. I love food. I love the feel of it in my mouth. The tastes and flavors can be so intense [...]

I received my first letter from my inmate pen pal yesterday. She sounds very nice and she is working in one of those dog programs they have set up for prisoners and service dogs. That is awesome, I’m so glad they have those programs. I am not a big fan of our prison systems… they [...]

I know I am blogging a lot today but I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to do in the next few days so I’m getting it all in in one burst. LOL. Anyway, I’ve been wondering lately about those pen pal programs where you correspond with an inmate. Has anyone ever done that? [...]

I am in such a good mood today. I am appreciating all of my friends. I am so lucky, and I appreciate all of them so much, they don’t even realize. And I’m so glad I’m not letting people treat me like crap anymore. There was an incident at the tournament with another team, tears [...]

At the agility trial last weekend I had some help. It was super nice to have someone film for me! I need a personal assistant at the trials. Someone who can exercise the dogs, potty the dogs, bring me food, and video me and others. That would be so nice! LOL. Anyway, this is Madeline. [...]

Well, my party is over. It lasted about four hours, which I think is a pretty good long party. It was fun. I was nervous. But now I’m even more nervous. After the fact I get totally anxiety, thinking how did I do? Was I a dork, a nerd, a jerk? I tried to be [...]
