This is Irritating little Chihuahua at six weeks, January of 1999. She is eleven years old this month, and she has her daily exercise routine.
It consists of sleeping,
going outside and surveying her driveway, from the great sniffing of automobile tires down to the Yucca plant. I have yet to figure out what is so intriguing [...]

It may seem as though, with cell phones, CNN, FaceBook, MySpace and Twitter that we are more connected than we ever were. But, we are really just more connected with a small group of people and less connected with our own world.
It always makes me feel sad to be in a restaurant and see a parent [...]

This cuties name is Donna and the date is 10-31-58 and she is a mystery to me, as I have some of her photos and would love to return them to someone who might have a personal connection with them.
If I had “life” to do over again, one of my choices would have been to [...]

I am convinced that everything is addicting: sugar, fat, caffeine, frosting. It is all addictive.
And, there is no substitute for frosting!
Occasionally, I dream about eating cake, with frosting of course.

When you have been married for twenty years to someone who has COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), I rather think it is NOT like a normal marriage.
After all, nothing is normal. My home is totally scent free. I spend hours poking bottles of shampoo and conditioner under his nose to see if he wheezes. One [...]

The doctor will be so happy with me. He wanted me to lose 10 pounds and I have lost 20, since January. Not dramatic, but permanent. How did I do it, you ask? Well, whether you are being polite or really want to know, I’ll tell you, because it might help someone.
I have been up [...]

I get very angry when I see the commercials telling people how we must “not let government come between us and our doctors.”
I hope people realize that you already have two things standing between you and your doctors: money and insurance companies. The insurance companies are a profit organization, so do you really think that they [...]

This could serve to show off my first and only pedicure but it is mainly to show the position I have been in since Thursday.
I was gardening in the square foot plot, felt that back twinge, went and put some very late getting in Watermelon seeds and thought to myself that it was a bit [...]
