So,the hubs and I will be on a cruise from the 7th until the 16th. We are
flying into Vancouver on the 7th, staying at the Westin and then boarding
the ship on the 8th. It's a cruise of the inside passage of Alaska. I am so
neverous. I haven't flown for 4 years and never been on a flight that long!
I am also excited though. Eeek! My nerves are getting to me!

Does anyone have a phone number or address for the Verizon Wireless legal
department???

Ok... back for real this time? Maybe?

I'm back.

RIP

hello, i didnt even realize Dan Fogelburg passed on until I read this, brad
delp from "Boston" also passed on last year, heres some lyrics i remember
from dan,

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you

I am in love with you

I just can't believe the plaintiff is a JUDGE.

I'm graduating on the 9th. Woohoo!

Oh, and I got an award! Woohoo!

So the other day I was thinking... hmmm I'd like to get a Dyson. Then I saw
a 20% off Bed Bath and Beyond coupon. I was sure that they'd have Dyson on
there as a restriction but much to my surprise, they didn't!

So, I did a crazy thing. I went out and bought a Dyson Animal DC17.

$549.99 before coupon.

$469.00 after coupon!! (with tax)

See, I didn't really need another vacuum. I already have a $400.00 Kenmore
canister vacuum. So what I did really was crazy.

But after vacuuming a 4 foot by 4 foot section, which wasn't even dirty or
anything, I was like ewww! That was in my carpet? This thing picks up
EVERYTHING. It's amazing!

Yawn. Bored.

YAY! My new avatar is approved!

Blah blah blah.

Read this. It's a letter from someone who was stuck on the highway from a
motorist stuck on the highway for over 15 hours.

Here Rendell made a public apology:

http://www.nbc10.com/traffic/11031774/detail.html

"The last of the trapped hundreds of motorists were finally sprung loose
early Friday morning, but the highway remained shut down as crews struggled
to clear ice and snow from the road surface."

Sprung loose FRIDAY morning after being stuck there since WEDNESDAY.


I78 is sill closed 3 days later.


INSANE.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true


_________________________________________________


I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready settled for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you

The Heaven knows those years without you
Shaping my heart for the that day I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

Everyone hit reload because I've got a new avatar! It's dumbo!

Today Rascal got snipped!

He's been sleeping all night. I like that! Poor guy cried when his daddy
dropped him off this morning.

We did get a new vet incase anyone was wondering. They're great.

Rasal lost all his canine teeth so no doggie dentist for him! If anyone
else has this problem, I suggest tug of war. It worked for us LOL.

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watch my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
And plan our dreams where the peaceful river flows, where the green grass
grows.

______

I never had no one
I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin
So tired of searchin
til you walked into my life
It was a feelin
I'd never known
And for the first time
I didn't feel alone

You're more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don't know where I'd be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You're my best friend

Whoops, I pressed enter.

Here's some of the best auditions from American Idol.

She's not a singer but... they can TEACH her!

Rascal lost his 2 top canines (I guess the vet said small breeds don't
always lose their canines) on his OWN in one day. No surgery required!

Stupid vet.

So, I started my internship. It's different. More later.

So as I posted, we took Rascal to the vet to get him neutered. He was
dropped off at 8 am.

Now, I already thought that they overcharged, a neuter is over $175.00, but
I was like whatever he already knows them and they know him.

So they call and ask if they can pull all his baby teeth out. He is only 5
months old and has been steadily loosing his baby teeth. My husband says
no, we'll wait for that. I've never heard of having to rip out all his baby
teeth because they, as they say, MAY not fall out.

So we go to pick him up and they DIDN'T NEUTER HIM. They were all like
oh... we thought you meant wait for everything. I was right next to my
husband and he said we didn't want the TEETH because he didn't want to put
him through it all at once (plus we don't think he needs it YET).

Keep in mind they still gave him a local. They didn't even CALL BEFORE they
gave him the local! They gave it to him THEN call and ask if he wanted the
teeth done. AND THEN they didn't even listen to what he said!

They still charge us for the bloodwork and a heartworm test, $92.00.

What do you guys think? Did you have to remove all your dog's puppy teeth?
What would you have done? My husband took a day off work for this because
we wanted to take care of him! How much did your pet's neuter cost?

Ok and this ends my angry rant.

:)

So, some of you know me, some of you don't. I've decided to dedicate this
blog to.. ME!

I'm 22 years old and I live in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. We have lived here
for a little more than a year and a half.

I am married to the best guy ever, his name is Joe. We have been together
since September 5, 2004 and have been married since September 7, 2006.

We just bought a really awesome house. Umm it's 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a
kitchen, laundry, you know.. the usual stuff. I think the best thing about
it is being able to do the laundry or vacumn late at night and not worry
about making too much noise and pissing off the neighbors downstairs!

I have a crazy dog named Rascal. He's a 5 month old Sheltie as I previously
stated. He's a handful! I also have a bengal named Zoe who is the best cat
EVER. She is not too fond of Rascal, to say the least! Also, we have a
yellow headed amazon parrot and a maroon bellied conure who are... well...
NOISY LOL.

I'm in school majoring in paralegal studies and I'll graduate in May. I'm
doing my internship this semester, which is scarey, so wish me luck on
that!

So, that's about it I think. If I think of anything else to post about
myself I'll post it here!

:) *B

So the vet calls today to remind us of Rascal's appointment tommorrow.
Here's what the receptionist says:

"I'm calling to remind you of Rascal's noodle, I mean neuter tommorrow"

HAHA, his noodle! Ok, does anyone else find that as amusing as I do or am I
just a big cornball?

I'm going to reply to everyone in one blog so I can cut down on the number
of comments I have. I don't want to stay on the top 20 too long!

Thanks to Brennie, Tracy and Dragonflygrrl for welcoming me back!

I'm glad that I pushed out that letter for you guys but hopefully I'll drop
soon. You see, standing out is not something the new and improved Brenda
does LOL.

Tracy, that's my pup Rascal. He's a 5 month old sheltie and yes he IS that
high strung! But right now he's sleeping so shhhh.


:)

Hi everyone!

I am the umm.. blogger formally known as *Brenda*.

It is my goal to have a "drama free" blog and stick to the topic at hand!


Thanks for reading!
