And the winner of the Queen size quilt is (bigger drum roll, please) Sammy, Miles, Nicholas and Billy SweetFeet Meezer!

Congrats to the winners and thanks to EVERYONE that purchased a ticket. You have helped PlusOne get HALF WAY to his goal of $7043.00! Thanks again, mom loves you all.

Yup, We're On Vacation

Which is why mom has to make at least 16 more loaves of English Muffin Bread, more cookies and do her Christmas shopping.

I think I'll just sit here and take a nap.

Tattle Tale Tuesday


Despite the fact that PlusOne caught me IN the dog bed WITH the bag of cookies IN my mouth, there is no photographic evidence to prove my guilt. Therefore, I am acquitted of all charges.

Day Off

Mom has today off. What do you suppose my chances are of getting extra treats? Especially if she is supposed to bake?

Funny Things Bosses Say

Mom's boss told her yesterday that she looked tired, was she well? When mom told the receptionist that she replied for mom "I'm not tired, I'm EXHAUSTED!"

Mom had three and a half hellacious months starting in August and work is finally slowing down enough that mom can get her desk clean by the time she goes home. She is off this Friday, and next Thursday she leaves work and won't go back til January. And she's not answering her phone, either. I foresee lots of snuggling coming up.

Go Find Another Seat, Dad

You left this one. That means it's up for grabs and we grabbed it. Don't worry, Lucky, he won't move us.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Especially when it is supposed to be in the mid 30's today, and the mid 20's tonight!

Helping Mom Out

Mom is the official seamstress for the studio. She sews all the patches on the uniforms for the students and she has been known to hem pants and sleeves. Here I am helping her out by "breaking in" the uniforms waiting to be sewn. Aren't I being helpful?

Thankful Thursday

It was raining almost all day yesterday. Pouring rain, non-stop rain. Rain that makes us very thankful that we have nice warm houses to live in with people who love us. Yes, we are very thankful today.

And Now For Something Completely Different



Is this guy awesome or what? PlusOne showed it to mom and mom said she just had to share. I mean, come on, it's got cellos, light sabers, Darth Vader and music. (If only it had pugs, then it would be perfect.)

To see it on a bigger scree, you can click this link. :)

My Mother Is Weird

Yes, I know what you are all thinking. Our mothers are weird as well. But my mom is REALLY weird.

Here she is trying to get me interested in her karate book. Like I care about a book? Even if it is four inches thick.

This book has every technique, form and set mom has learned at karate in the last nine and a half years. As you can see, it is color coded (yellow are techniques she learned as a beginner, green is intermediate, light brownish is Black Belt Prep and white are Black Belt techniques.) Then all her forms are color coordinated, light pink Short One and Short Two, dark pink Long One and Long Two. Fluorescent Green is Form Four, Pale Blue is Form Five, Bright yellow is Form Six, and then there are the sets. They are different colors as well. I am not even going to go into the cross references pages mom has. Suffice to say that the best scientists in the world have nothing on her for linking information.

So SEE! I told you my mom was really weird. But I love her anyway. Of course, she doesn't really need the karate. All she has to do is hit someone with the book. I bet she could knock someone out with it! lol
