...Unless the SL is 25 or so....
So, we are finally getting a dog! He's a 7 year old Jack Russell that needed a home. A girl I work with lives with her parents, who are moving where pets are not allowed. It's an "open adoption"-she can visit and I told her next lay-off I will bring him to the office for a visit.
Spouse mumbled "I don't think we need a dog", which was as close to an OK as he'd allow; son doesn't want one verbally, but I think he, like the spouse, will melt; daughter is totally stoked and has already laid claim to him on her Facebook.
There's a site that you can order b-day greetings from your favorite celebrities and D got me Michael Waltrip. It was very well done-not one of those obvious "insert greeting here" deals-the little speech was smooth and personal, as personal as a mass-produced message could be. Perhaps they just say the same things over and over 200 times. Ain't technology grand?
Double nickels....damn. I feel it when I walk because of the ankle, but I look in the mirror and, comparing myself to friends my age, I'm holding my own pretty good. Only 4 white hairs in the front, no wrinkles yet...neither of my parents looked their age although Mom was catching up at the end. Nurses used to say "your son is here" announcing my dad. LOL Pissed her off to no end(dad's a year older). Oh well....it's a bittersweet day but I'm so thankful for good friends and acquiescing spouses who know better than to argue when I want something.
