The Fur Children

Christmas weekend I dog sat for some friends of mine while they celebrated their anniversary. It was nice because it was kinda like a mini-vacation for me as well. It was nice to be able to be around animals because I really miss it. If I could have a puppy in my apartment, I would in a heart beat but of course the only pet that I can have is a fish. However, you can't pet a fish, a fish can't sleep with you, a fish isn't a very comforting pet so I have no pet.
Anyway... here are pics of the "fur children" as they are called... (Bruno is my favorite because he is a very mellow dog.)

Deck the Halls with WHAT?!

Well my week is going to be very busy so I figured today would be a good day to blog and to with everyone a Merry Christmas. I am loving working a ten day stretch! NOT! I like having a break and not having to work weekends but I guess it is my turn considering that I have been trading my weekends with someone else for a while. Oh well... Thank goodness I get Christmas weekend off!!! Well, since I have a ton to do this is going to be a short post but I hope that everyone has Happy Holidays, eats way to much and is completely full of joy!

To dream the impossible dream...

So I like it when it snows because that means that it is warmer outside but I really hate driving in the snow. I really would love to get a 4 wheel drive car again or a truck would be even better. My dream vehicle is a Toyota Tacoma 4x4 extended cab charcoal color with black interior. Can you tell that my dreams of this truck have been well thought about... Someday it will be mine! Someday in the future when I can afford it.

Now that it is Christmas time I feel the need to be extra charitable but unfortunately my bank account says that I should be otherwise. I see people, work with people and know people who have less than I do and are not going to have Christmas the way that they should. Christmas isn't all about getting but it is about giving and you can't give if you don't have. I am kinda reminded of the Widow's Mite. She gave all she had. We should be like the Widow and give all that we have not just money but our time, love and whatever else. We shouldn't just do this at Christmas time but all the time. ... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...

Monday, Monday!

Blah... It's Monday. The only thing exciting about today is that for FHE my ward is having a dinner and an auction. It is going to be great. Who could resist free dinner from Texas Roadhouse? The auction is to collect canned goods for the food pantry. Ya know it doesn't feel like it should be the Christmas season yet. But it is here yet again. One more year down and I am still just as confused about life as I was before. Well, that is enough of my random rambling, I had better get on with the rest of my boring day. TTFN!
