Possibly the Cutest Thing Since EVAR!
Well maybe not EVAR but certainly that I’ve witnessed today. I also have a few photos up on Flickr from outside in the snow. (Psst, I especially like this one.)
That is all.
Chowing Down!
Dinnertime these days is so much more enjoyable; Yara very clearly is much happier about eating when she doesn’t have the need to defecate five minutes afterward. She has had a few times where she hasn’t eaten every last morsel from her bowl, but even after cutting her daily food in half she’s still eating more than she really needs to. She’ll be officially weighed again this Tuesday, but I’m estimating she’s somewhere around 58 pounds. And contrary to what my opinionated family members think, she really is pretty much back to her ideal weight.
I’m still struck by how dramatically her color has changed. I was looking through all these photos of her and it’s really quite interesting how different she looks even in the last few months. I’m left wondering how much, or if, she’ll continue to change. I do have to admit, I kind of miss the grey belly.
Should Sleep, But First . . . !

Bullet-style update for I am in much need of the sleep thing:
- Thanksgiving was pretty much the norm for me. All I have to say on that.
- Fidelco has a Facebook page! And the Walk for Fidelco is already listed as an event! I added this photo to the page because I’m so unabashedly in love with it. ^_^
- Less in love with the photo on the right of Yara chowing down on her nails, but I must admit it’s convenient having a dog that helps keep her own nails nice and short. I’m not sure which of us loathes the nail cutting drama more.
- I pre-ordered this and I’m beyond excited about this fact.
- My ear hurts. Raechel and I were chatting on the phone for more than two hours! I don’t know how that happened since I’m not really much with the long phone conversations, especially since I used to spend my entire work day on the phone. But apparently we had a lot to say because we quite literally talked the entire charge out of both our phones!
- Jerry emailed me today to let me know he was having some trouble securing a ride for me to the A&T Lions Club’s holiday party and he asked if I knew anyone who might enjoy attending . . . I naturally thought of Ewan McGregor but as (a.) he’s married and (b.) he doesn’t know me, I asked Sarah. Suffice it to say I’m actually just as pleased with this decision: I get a ride and I am now certain to know at least one person. That is, of course, assuming Sarah’s car decides to cooperate. ;-)
- As previously mentioned, next week is super busy for me. I’m still pretty tickled about it.
- That does mean, however, that this weekend shall be solely devoted to finishing my final project for class as I clearly have zero time next week. This would also require the actual starting of said project. . . .
Proper update coming one of these days. Really.
Happy Thanksgiving!
As Yara shows rather perfectly in the photo to the right, Thanksgiving is in full swing today and she’s more than ready for it. In fact, the little bugger woke me up at the ass-crack of dawn (i.e., 6:00 A.M.) to let me know that we should be getting on with the day . . . or at the very least commence with the daily breakfast thing. Or maybe she really is that excited about impending family fun and turkey at Nanny’s!
Anyway, here’s wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a proper update in the works, but I’m totally swamped right now between Thanksgiving and school stuff. So I give you a list because not only am I busy, but I’m lazy, too!
1. WordPress 2.6.5 is out — and Gentle Wit is fully upgraded. As per usual, if you see broken things please to be letting me know.
2. I’ve now moved all my photos to my Flickr account. Organization is somewhat in progress, but feel free to wander over and gander at all the cute Yara photos. There’s a few I’ve yet to post here and many, many more that I probably won’t e.g., this whole batch from the Walk for Fidelco and Tom and Patty’s puppy photos because that’s excessive even for me.
3. I felt all warm and fuzzy today! I got an email from a potential Fidelco guide dog handler who’d found her way to the site here and had some questions she was hoping I’d be able to answer for her. Which is one of the great things about maintaining this website — getting to connect with people I’d otherwise never be able to and sometimes being a resource for them as well! :-)
4. Id like to extend a very big thank you to the A&T Lions for their generous gift. I received the check in today’s mail. And I’m beyond excited about attending next week’s party!
Take care!
