Work was CRAZY!!! I almost didn't get out of there early. I didn't even have time to check on you all. What's up with that?
It's still FREEZING!!! Below freezing actually.
Just talked to my dad. They think mild heart attack. Goes in for angiogram. Possible stint. He's not too worried. Will wait for results. Doesn't know what to do with his wife though in the meantime.
Debbie - I hope you're enjoying your rest.
Randi - I hope you feel better. I'm sorry about your PMS and also about your social anxiety. I HATE meeting new people and being around a lot of people I don't know. Makes me sick. People think I'm really outgoing but I swear it's all an act. Nobody believes me but it's true. I know your new doctor will help you when you get one.
Diane Sue - Thanks for the prayers. I'm anxiously waiting to call him.
Missy - I hear ya! People are just uninformed and they listen to the media or they have had bad personal experiences or know somebody who has had bad experiences from dogs who have been in very unfortunate situations. Although more often than not it is just people who are listening to all the hype. People LOVE drama. Unfortunately it just goes with the territory of having this breed and I hope that you feel that they are worth it. I sure do! They need us sooooooooooo much b/c they are so unwanted by society and they are so full of love. Just keep reminding yourself of what a WONDERFUL dog Lucy is and what she means to your family and to your kids and be strong. Let those comments roll of your back the best your can. It does get you fired up (me too) but just keep using her as a great ambassador for both breeds b/c she is so good. If you get a chance, visit
www.badrap.org to remind yourself of what a great thing you're doing by helping this breed that needs us so very much (and they have really cute pics on the home page of pit bulls and chidren and one with a baby *GASP*). There's also a section called Monster Myths that might help. I personally thank you for helping my most beloved breed!!!!! Hang in there!
Lora - It hurts right when I start doing the half moon and the twisting half moon. I'm gonna print out what you wrote to me earlier so I'll have it with me the next time I do Yoga X. Yup, first 45 or so minutes - before that last vinyasa.
Amber - Bummer about the hair color. Sounds like you'll only have to be grey for 7 years according to Anne. Whew!
Missy (again) - Yes, I totally know what you mean about running in the wind b/c it's ALWAYS windy here. I HATE the wind! And yes, we have to go to work when it's this cold.
Every time I walk outside though I cough when I first breathe that first breath of air b/c I'm not ready for it. Hehehe.
Dallys - I can't believe those people took your dog!!! I used to think about telling people I had some other kind of dog but then I thought that wasn't helping the breed any, as they need all the help they can get with good ambassadors so I just figure I'll deal with the rude people for the good of the breed (can you say martyr - :7). Oh - yup, I'm using yoga blocks. Chickened out on the family deal haircut?
Char - EAT MORE FISH. It will make your muscles HUGE!!!!!!! Are you adding in extra legs every week????
Storm - Migraine free this week - thanks so much for asking. I LOVE weeks like this. Should have 3 in a row if all goes well. Woo hoo!!!
New boobs for you next week girl!!!!
Lisa - Glad to have you butt in for pit bulls any day!
Meg - I hope you feel better.
