RANDOM

So, you probably caught that we got a puppy.
He's really cute.
And mostly potty trained.
And relatively good on a leash.
And he bites.
And he barks incessantly if anyone comes to our house.
I have learned that I am NOT the dog whisperer.
Even though I've tried his techniques.
He's now wearing a "training" collar.
I now have hope that "Dog Round 2" might turn out favorably.
Brianna's haircut is really super cute.
Like she could be anything BUT cute.
The left side of her face is a mass of healing scrapes.
Ben thought it would be entertaining to dump her off of her sled, not realizing how scratchy the ice-covered snow was.
Ben felt REALLY bad.
Ben still hates his new school.
He tells me nearly everyday.
Ben is learning the Articles of Faith.
I received a cub scout application for Ben.
I don't think I'm quite ready for scouts to begin.
Brianna loves the dog rather too exuberantly.
Usually right around his neck.
This often results in the "biting".
I considered putting the training collar on Brianna.
I decided against it.
For now.
Brianna is a wonderful and entertaining child.
I missed my parents anniversary.
And my dear mother-in-law's birthday.
I suppose, when I start out the year missing important dates that I should just be consistent for the rest of the year as well.
Otherwise, it would appear that I'm playing favorites.
And that's not how I play.
So, here's an advanced birthday greeting to all of you: Happy Birthday! I hope this year is your very best yet!!
I'm still trying to process the fact that it's actually 2010.
I think I'll eventually get there.
Maybe in 2015.
We had a get-together at our house last weekend.
It was really fun.
Even though I felt a rather high degree of anxiety about it beforehand.
Brianna is mostly potty-trained.
She was just ready, I guess.
And, we told her we'd go to Disneyland when she was potty-trained.
Unfortunately, I need her to grow about 3 inches before we go in March, so she can ride the rides.
I love my new vehicle.
I love my husband.
I can't wait for this weekend.
We're headed to James' parents.
And to warmer weather.
I miss my Cincinnati friends.
I think about them a lot.
Well, this is why I haven't blogged in SO LONG.
It's because this is pretty much how my thoughts roll lately.
Random, random, random.
Oh, the dog's name is Caspian.
He's a miniature schnauzer.
