Yes.... more bitching. You know you love it. Misery loves company.
I took my little doggy, Sushi, to get her annual shots today. The veterinarian there was not the one I was familiar with and he put a particularly bad taste in my mouth.
No heartworms, bloodworks good, everything else good. She's a wonderful dog and completely healthy. She turned 2 this summer and because she's getting older doesn't have the spotless pearly whites she once had as a pup.
The vet notices this and insists that she will need a teeth cleaning within the next few months. In my head i'm thinking... riiiight. But, I pretend to entertain the idea and ask him how much this imperative procedure is. It's only $280. Now, I know it's a bad economy and all, but are you really trying that hard to squeeze money out of me?? What's next... an insurance plan for my dog?! Doggy botox?
Now, I absolutely adore my dog. She goes everywhere she with me that she is allowed... my parents even call her their grand dog. But seriously, she is still a dog. I refuse to pay $80 to get the bloodwork done to pay $50 for the anesthesia so I can pay $150 for the vet to clean my dogs teeth... no thank you! I will do it the old fashion way: teethbrushing and milk bones.
Now, I could be completely wrong about this... my mind process is, dogs have been around and been completely healthy and happy for many, many years before people thought to have teeth-cleaning sessions. Give me a break... I can barely pay my mortgage, much less pay for your fancy procedure.

Well, i've recently started "Operation Skinny Bitch."
I have a powerful sweet-tooth and a very weak self control. I love candy and candy loves me. I have a long line of alcoholism in my blood, and I managed to miss that addiction, but am unfortunately addicted to something that makes my ass fat and my thighs jiggly. But hey, I didn't get this sweet by only taking five sugars in my coffee....
So, i'm saying goodbye to all of it. I decided this weekend that I am going to go a year, yes a YEAR, without any sweets. I'm taking it one day at a time... day one, only a few more hours left.
Wish me luck!
On another note... I hope everyone's week is going well so far. I just watched Let the Right One In from the SG Top 10 Movies of 2008. It was dubbed and a little slow-developing, but the end was so fantastic, it was well-worth the wait. I suggest it.

Hi hi,
I just got in from Jacksonville, FL last night. I had never been there, and I had a wonderful time. I spent some time on the beach and in the city. I went to "Five Points," which is so similar to our Little Five Points it's scary. I went into a small bar called the Wall Street something-or-other and I felt like I was having a drink back home.
But I digress.... the point to that is that I would like to thank everyone who made me feel welcome after posting my first set. I really appreciate all the love and (now that I have access to my computer) will make sure I show you all the same in return! You guys really know how to give a great reception!
Love,
Kaley
