My dog got stung by a bee in the grass and he got really sick. It scared me half to death. I saw him start limping and licking at his leg, so I knew something was wrong. Then he started having trouble breathing and blood started coming out of his nose and his eyes. I flipped out and drove him down to the emergency vet. Thank GOD they took him right in and gave him a shot. He was still pretty sick for a couple of hours, but I thought he was going to DIE and I can’t believe a little bee sting would DO THAT to my little dog.
This was a bad day. The only good thing is that he is OK now. But it scared me worse than anything I can remember and I’m going on the warpath against bees now. Kill them all.

A good old fashioned baseball game sounds really good about now. Tickets are only $10 for reserved seats, so a family of four can go and buy hot dogs and cokes and stil be well under $100 for the night.
The City has a triple A team called, “The Sounds,” which is a nice tie-in to “Music City.” This team has the really good, young players that have a chance to get drafted up to the major leagues if they do well in this league. The Milwaukee Brewers are keeping the Sounds going as a farm team for their players. So there is a good chance that the player you see at a Sounds game will soon be playing for the Brewers.

OK – we’ve been a couple for a long time and friends for a long time before we ruined the friendship and landed in bed together. But you would think that the guy would know that I love only certain kinds of chocolates. I take chocolates very seriously. I only like the really good chocolates and he never sees me buying cheap chocolates. So why would he all of a sudden decide to buy me a big box of cheap chocolate truffles for Valentine’s Day? I hate cheap chocolates and especially don’t like truffles. ARRRRGGH!
I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but here was the best opportunity to impress me with a thoughtful gift and he blew it. I wonder of screwing up Valentine’s Day with cheap chocolates is grounds for divorce? I think it might be.

‘Tis the season to be jolly.
Hope you are having fun shopping for gifts and making big plans to spend Christmas with family and good friends. May your days be filled with baking cookies and decorating trees and maybe even stringing some outdoor lights on your trees, bushes and roof line.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, peeps!

I have always loved Slurpee’s, ever since I was a young kid, the only thing that really quenches my thirst and makes my taste buds happy is still a good old fashioned 7-11 Slurpee.
I remember being surprised when my family took a trip to Florida one year, I was probably 11 or 12, and I noticed that there were not any 7-11′s in sight. Instead I saw businesses that were located in the same type of building that we see our 7 -11′s in, the resemblance was uncanny and they were sporting the sign of Piggly Wiggly and the like. That was such a culture shock to me and I’ll always remember that trip mainly because of that revelation of how big the world really was and how things were different all over.
