Stuff

I can't remember half the stuff I think about to put in my blog when I fire up the ol' browser and login to the site.

It's like my brain flushes the stuff right out of my head.

Let's see....

Did I mention we have a lot of pets now? I took our dog, Pepper, into the vet and she's now 4.1 pounds. Yes. Four point one pounds. I think that's about as big as we can expect her to get.

Tuffy, our cat, is 22.2 pounds. Yes, that's twenty two point two pounds.

You can see, we've switched the natural order of things in our house. The cat is huge and the dog is small.

Also, the cat is NOT overweight. According to the vet, he could stand to lose five pounds or so, but he's not obese. He's a BIG cat.

I was lugging Tuffy into the vet's office while Ben carried Pepper in behind me. Tuffy was in his dog-sized carrier. When the vet looked, he saw me struggling with the carrier. Later, he saw the carrier on the ground and Pepper in my arms.

Huh! The vet thought I had struggled with Pepper. What a riot. We laughed and laughed. Then, the vet had to go in the back and tell the assistants why we laughed so much.

Brittany's enjoying Moody Bible Institute, but she's too busy to bother with Mom and Dad anymore. She does call me when she either needs help with her laptop or needs us to do something for her. The worst part about the whole Brittany-being-gone-from-home deal is... well, there are a few bad things:

1) I don't have anyone to share my fruit smoothies with anymore. Barb only drinks a little bit of them.

2) No one bakes cookies for us anymore.

3) Brittany has not yet and will probably not experience home sickness. Apprently, she was far too ready to leave our happy little nest for bigger and better things.

4) We have to forward some mail to her still.

Bobby's a senior. I'm not sure what he's going to do next year.

We have an Albino African Frog. I think I mentioned him before. He's still eating live gold fish. I get him like 8 or so a week. He's growing quite large.

Did you know there are people dedicated to rescuing hermit crabs?

Do people just have way too much expendable time on their hands? I would think these energies could go into other things like... oh say... feeding the hungry, taking care of the old and sick, and making sure orphaned children are cared for?

But no, the hermit crabs need rescuing instead. I'm going to start the Yeast Rescue Society. No baking bread that rises! Save the Yeast!

Are you a yeast killer? No making beer either! Shame on you yeasties!! Ban Nystatin! Yeast Rules!

Just send your non-tax deductable donations to the Yeast Rescue Society to me. I'll take all the money you want to send.
