Not sure how you’re gonna wrap this gift up for me…
Seriously? I mean, I get it. Dudes need to check themselves before they wreck themselves but come on…this is the worst Valentine’s Day gift idea/campaign ever.
So, El Jefe, just in case I wasn’t clear… This is a definite NO on your list of ideas for V-day.
Mmmmmmkay? ❤
My vacay was officially over on Saturday. I left Maria (in tears of course) and flew home…where I found myself in tears. Remember all that work I did to leave the house spotless before I left? Um, why did I bother?
I’m not complaining. The reality is, the house would’ve looked exactly the same had I been here. There is some good news though…Fishdog did change the doorknobs on the front and carport doors. They look awesome. Copper levers and a new copper deadbolt. I love them. He also cleaned the master bathroom, which was starting to be a scary, scary place.
Today feels weird because it’s Tuesday. I keep thinking it’s Monday.
Sunday (which felt like Saturday) we went to Birdrunner’s house for a cookout. Fishdog and Birdrunner were elementary school classmates and they had a mini-reunion with a few other friends from gradeschool. The best part of the day was when we pulled out old pictures.
I have evidence…which I will gladly show you tomorrow, after I download said evidence.
Be afraid, Birdrunner. Be very afraid.
Sigh.

Rader is a bit of a drama queen so when he yells and cries, we never know how serious it is. He is the king of “crying wolf” over being hurt. (when he wants attention. When he’s in his own world, he can break his nose and never stop moving. We know this to be true because it has happened…)
So tonight when he started howling and bellowing and hopping around, we were slow to react. But then the howling and bellowing got louder and had a sharp intensity to it that told me “Hm. Maybe this time he did something.”
I run down the stairs where Fishdog is already hovering over Rader yelling “TELL ME WHAT YOU DID. WHAT DID YOU DO! WHERE DOES IT HURT!” So we have Fishdog yelling and Rader bellowing and Ruby bouncing around like it’s the fucking Pug Day Parade and I’m not sure if I need to laugh or cry with Rader.
Apparently he stumped his toe while playing with Ruby. It’s bleeding at the base of his toenail (which is sadly in need of trimming). I’m worried it might be broken because it’s almost doubled in size and Rader is still in pain (it’s been almost an hour). We’ve iced it, propped it up, and he’s taken some Advil. I’ve called the doctor’s office and we have an appt. tomorrow, just in case.
Seriously, it’s gonna suck if his toe is broken. He’s playing AAU Basketball this summer, is trying out for Classic Soccer starting next week, and was supposed to have 2 soccer camps this month. Poor boy is screwed if his big toe is broken.
Here are some pics. If you don’t like feet pictures, look no further. (Maria, this means you.)


I’m sorry, we can’t come to the blog right now, we’re too busy getting ready for our Luau.
See you later!
I just bought a book from Ellora’s Cave…written by a really hot friend of mine who happens to be a writer.
Go forth and buy Lillian Feisty’s newest release: I LOVE LACY
