Chicken bucket - KFC
Boot God - Saint Nicholas, the one who fills your shoes with treats on Dec. 5. Not to be confused with Santa Claus.
"Do you ever get that feeling in your nostrils that lets you know you're getting sick? I do. I have sensors." -- Things my 8-year-old says
This storm has brought an obscenely loud frog to my back door, and I wish, very much, that it would STFU already.
Penny, The Woobie Thief
It's odd having a dog that seems to be completely unbothered by storms.
Jax would have been at my feet, shaking like a leaf by now.

The neighbors probably think I'm nuts, because all they heard for the last 15 minutes was me pleading with my dog in a cartoon voice: "Let me see you beans! Gimme your beans!" as I tried to clip her nails. 🤣
The stingray is rivaling the phone for her favorite toy.
Emily watched "Agatha All Along" with us the other night and now keeps singing the "Ballad of the Witches Road."
This should go over spectacularly well in this small red town we live in. 🧙♀️
On the way to dinner tonight, Emily asked me how old I am. I said 45. She's like, so you're almost 50? I said, in 5 more years.
Without skipping a beat, she says, "I hope you make it!"
😫🤣💀
Much like the Nokia 3310 of 2000, this phone is also proving to be quite indestructible.
Like she didn't just stop playing to look me in the eye, bark, and go back to playing like nothing happened.
Two days of 7 a.m. wake-up times, and I'm convinced, more than ever, that morning people are psychopaths.
Red and white corgi puppy sleeps on sofa arm rest.
Now it sleeps like it didn't spend the last hour and a half terrorizing me.
Being eaten alive by a puppy this morning. Heifer just hopped up here and bit my shoulder and then attacked my forearm. Made the kid get her puppy teether out of the freezer. I forgot about these days.
In case you need a corgi puppy to cheer you up...
How am I supposed to get work done with this cornflake-scented cuddle bug on me?
I'm happy to learn I'm not alone 🤣
Now that I can laugh about things ...
I inspected Jax's urn because I didn't realize Em had picked out a scatter urn. And when I slid the lid back on, there must have been a bit of ash at the top. Because a plume of white smoke went up, and I sucked in like "ohhh," and I inhaled part of my dog. 💀😂
Four more sleeps until we get our girl ❤️
Had to pick up all of Jax's things to make room for Penny's stuff and started ugly crying all over again
I'm excited for our new dog, but I miss my boy so much.
I swore up and down I'd never get another Corgi, but we pick up our new girl next weekend. My heart just needs somewhere to put an this love and grief. My home is too empty.
Why am I looking at corgi puppies online? I found one that's so damn adorable, but my heart is still broken. I miss my dog.
I loved my Eufy camera. Local storage, so there's no subscription and you control your data.
The kid enjoys reading the Little Critter series. Today we read where Little Critter makes his grandparents a peanut butter, pickle, potato chip, marshmallow & chocolate sauce sandwich.
We had all the ingredients, so we tried it out. 2/10 do not recommend for breakfast. But the gigles were 10/10.
The rain has washed away the last of Jax's paw prints from our yard. 😭
Had a good cry in therapy. Then Emily and I got out of the house. We got manicures, went shopping and had lunch.
It helped a little. But I still had to come home to an empty house.
I miss him so much.
Never one to be left behind, my sweet Jax followed Cooper over the rainbow bridge this afternoon. His decline was extremely rapid. Liver failure took him in less than 24 hours. He was a shithead, but the best boy. I'm devastated.
The evening has taken a turn. I'm at the emergency vet with Jax. He's got a rock hard abdomen and is in a lot of pain.
I'm not ready for this.
