“Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends.”
– Tom Waits (via alanajoy)
What a beautiful morning for a car accident. I had my iced coffee in the cup holder, the sun was shining, I’d seen my first doc of the day out in Midlothian, and I was in a great mood just cruising along Hwy 287. Then, an SUV making a left turn out of a McDonald’s parking lot plowed right into the passenger side of my tiny Volvo, spinning me completely around to face in the opposite...
There is one person that I follow on here, and I think that she is unaware that her husband is super feminine and not really into her. Not guessing anyone’s sexuality, because that is none of my business, and more power to you if you have an arranged marriage for reasons other than love…that’s great if that’s what you wanted. But it’s funny when she posts things...

Sad.

A 2009 stock assessment report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimated that the potential biological removal, or PBR, level for the Gulf of Mexico sperm whale population is three.
That means the whales’ long-term survival is at risk if, in addition to natural deaths, three sperm whales a year are killed or removed by human causes.

My husband's 32nd birthday
Alright, so the hammock I bought was too small for the hammock stand….so we are returning it and I already ordered one that is the proper size. I’m kind of bummed he can’t lay on his birthday hammock today :( We went to brunch at Zinsky’s and it was tasty, and then I was a brat and whined about the heat so we didn’t go to the Byron Nelson, nor to play golf....
Or Marmalade. Marmi :) Snuggleywugglies!
I really want an orange kitty to go along with my dog brood, but my husband won’t let me. I think they would all get along with at least a baby kitten. Animals instinctively know not to harm babies, right? Once Gigi is grown, I will have my orange kitty, mark my words. I will call it….Orange Kitty :)
Because Every Pageant Has A Stripper
twism:
Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m pretty sure you know that Rima Fakih has recently been crowned as Miss USA. Today, just hours after Rima took the crown home, photos have surfaced of her grinding her way down a stripper pole wearing a tank top and red booty shorts — she was apparently competing in Detroit radio’s Mojo In The Morning Stripper 101 pageant. Isn’t this just...
What a great weekend. I love having my family in town. Just said goodbye at the airport, but I will see them again soon. I’m Ohio bound at the end of June :)
Yay, my parents are flying in to Dallas RIGHT NOW. I can’t wait to see them! We are going to have a great weekend - Mia’s tonight, Neighborhood Services tomorrow, ART to the Rescue Soiree on Saturday. In between we will show them our new neighborhood and spend time with the pups. The Grandpups, that is. I love when my family comes to town!

Ohhhhhhh….so special…
So, my company announced 28% layoffs in the US today, on a last minute mandatory noon conference call. Pretty sure that was my Irish sixth sense giving me anxiety for a reason yesterday…
This was just emailed to me from the president of...

Today
I worked my territory in the morning, had lunch with one of my partners at Sushi Zushi (which was quite tasty), and then had a meeting with our 3rd partner all afternoon. I was able to squeeze in a yoga class at 5:00 and then came home to finish up work and shower. Matt picked up Asian Mint for dinner (Thai Red Curry-yum), and we watched LOST.
I can’t seem to shake my work anxiety today...
