Okay - so we're certifiably crazy

Before I left for church with the kids yesterday, Asia suggested I stop on the way home at the pet store to buy a sweater for Gracie. See, it's pretty darn cold here in the evenings, and if Gracie is going to go trick-or-treating with us, she needs something to keep her warm. Boxers are very short-haired. In fact, her little belly is almost bald, there's so little hair there. If she's outside too long in the cold she gets all shivery... so a sweater seemed like a good idea. We don't want our little girl getting too cold, after all.

Now in the past, I would have laughed out loud at anyone who was buying "clothes" for their dog. Obviously, anyone who would dress their dog has serious issues. Now I say, yes, of course, we have issues. We have issues with our baby who gets chilled in no time at all in the cold weather.

So here you go. I took pictures, just so you could see how pretty she looks. And she knows it too. The kids took her for a walk yesterday in her new duds, and she was absolutely prancing. She knew she looked pretty.

Pretty scary, eh?

(But she's SO cute...)

    Well, I'm still going to make fun of you, but she is cute!! Thanks for the fun party last night. Danny said, "Well, that didn't seem to evil." :-) He was kidding, of course.

    Lara - I'm so glad someone else admitted to liking the sweater enough to want one for herself. It really is the cutest thing ever - but I'm a sucker for anything pink and brown.

    Kelly - I was most worried about the mocking laughter coming from you - but I knew you would still be my friend, so I went ahead and posted the pictures...

    Kelly E. - oh come on now - I don't believe you for a minute... I know you love your noisy Buddy just as much - it just hasn't manifested itself in a pink and brown chenille sweater... and thank goodness, because he would look awfully silly wearing it, dontcha think?

    Min - It was great to hang with you last night. And Danny seemed amazingly tolerant of Gracie's presence... and the inherent evil of trick-or-treating... Amazing how chocolate covers a multitude of sins, eh?

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
