I got a call
this morning and
Jake is going on
an overnighter
tonight. I am
happy for him
but sad at the
same time. I
always miss him
madly when he
goes. So while
Cage was napping
today we played
outside with the
hose ( I had to
water my plants
anyway). It was
so much fun.
Jake was soaked
from head to
toe, I was
soaked from head
to toe, just
about everything
we came in
contact with was
soaked. It was
so humid and hot
out the cold
water was a
relief.
Spray...breeze...ahhhhh.
We got exhausted
and sat on the
porch. I just
cant believe
what a big kid
he seems like.
I remember my
little guy!
After Jake left
I bathed the
dogs. Since I
had tested the
water from the
hose and it was
fine they got it
outside. I used
my seventh
generation soap
on them. I is
neat to see a
brown dog turn
white again :)
Cage and I had a
blast tonight.
He is growing so
fast as well.
One thing I have
noticed is that
he is crazy
about plants.
If there is a
plant
anywhere near he
will throw
himself around
until he has a
good view. That
works out well
because I am a
plantaholic. I
am the only
person I know in
rescue that can
keep many nice
plants. I have
had my problems
(animal trying
to shred them,
cats using them
as a litter box,
etc) but we are
always able to
fix the
problem. 2
trees I have had
for 11 years.
Cage is getting
the biggest kick
out of making
a noise and
having it
repeated. He
coos, I coo the
exact way he
did, his eyes
get huge then he
smiles, laughs,
and kicks his
feet. We did
this for hours.
I keep getting
articles mailed
to me about
'vegan parents
jailed for child
abuse' or
something close
to that. I am
not worried.
For every
negative I get
there are 6
positive
articles. I can
tell you that my
family is fine,
mentally (ok I
wonder about
myself sometimes
lol...kidding)
and physically.
For breakfast we
had cereal and
toast.
For lunch we had
AWESOME
quesadillas. I
made them with
soy cheese and
black beans,
corn, red beans,
tortilla chips
(yes inside),
carrots, fajita
seasoning,
carrots, and
onions. Served
with tofutti
sour supreme. I
couldn't make
them fast enough
to feed
everyone!
For dinner I had
a fruit salad
(pineapple,
melons, grapes,
strawberries),
regular salad,
half a peanut
butter sandwich,
and walnuts.
YUM
Wed June 29
Things moved
smoothly today.
I am still
talking to
concerned family
and friends of
the animal
hoarder trying
to work
something out.
In my mind this
has gone on long
enough and
something has to
be done. A year
and a half ago
this person (the
hoarder) had
maggots living
in the filth on
her floor. The
number of
animals is still
unknown at this
point....although
some people did
go see her
(thank you) and
I think she is
willing to
cooperate. We
will see. It is
always tough for
those closest to
the person.
This is a
serious mental
disease and I
wish there were
more
knowledgeable
people out
there. I have
no doubt that
this woman is
sweet....some
events in her
life just set
her on a
downward
spiral. IMO she
will now need to
be supervised
her whole life
and complete
talk therapy
sessions with a
professional.
My vet is
willing to vet
these animals at
my cost. We are
keeping our paws
crossed here.
Cage laughed at
Jake for almost
an hour today.
They are both so
cool (proud
mother here). I
can't believe
that Jake is
going to be five
years old in a
week! Where did
the time go?
We are really
wanting to
expand into a
farm sanctuary.
I need to get
the ball
rolling. I seem
to have a
million sub
projects going
on (as always)
plus fielding
calls and emails
about abuse (I
should say
potential
abuse....1 out
of 6
calls/emails is
really
abuse....the
others are
basically
*bitch*
calls...i.e. I
don't like you
so I am going to
turn you in (I
believe that
child services
and the police
get the same
people
calling/emailing).
I am not
complaining...I
would rather
have the option
to check it out
than not know it
exists. With
the sanctuary I
could do so much
more for my
community.
Besides having
offices the
education would
be thru the
roof! I make
myself available
for lectures or
speaking events
for free now
(Jake used to go
with me...now
Cage will get to
go) but I could
increase ten
fold. Speaking
of which the
only place that
ever calls me (
a small college)
needs to know I
am ready to
return.
Need to find
some grant
info. I have
several
potential places
in mind. This
would be our
dream!!!
For breakfast
today we had
hearty oatmeal.
(I met a woman
at Jakes school
who was an
executive for
Stoneyfield
Farms Oraganic
Foods. She used
to work for
Mother's Co.
which is a
division of
Quaker. She
told me Quaker
Oatmeal is the
fast food of
oatmeal....its
empty. Thank
Dog we buy in
bulk from the
health food
store.) I like
to dress my oats
up with dried
apples, raisins,
fresh ground
cinnamon, and
agave nectar.
YUM
For lunch we had
cheese (tofutti)
and Nayonase
sandwiches with
pasta and
tomatoes.
For dinner we
had 'big
honking' salads
(Jakes
terminology).
Tuesday June 28
Today was cool. Lots of
thunder but no rain. I
love the sound of
thunder, like a big
harley in the sky:) The
dogs don't like the
sound of thunder and
they all want to huddle
under the covers.
People all around me
lost power. I am so glad
mine didn't go out. I
can do with out TV but
the fridge and freezer
are essential!
I managed to do five
loads of laundry today!
I know...how exciting
lol. It was dog laundry
day. I love dog laundry
day. They love to
nestle in their fresh
clean blankets. I do
their laundry once a
week if not more but I
noticed I haven't
written about it yet.
My exciting life huh:)
For lunch I made vegan
ravioli. I have never
seen them before so I
had to try them.
Awesome! I did it with
a tomato and basil sauce
and a vegan alfredo
sauce on top. Then I
added a little vegan
white cheese and
parmesan. The only
complaint was that I
didn't make enough:)
Cage is handing out
smiles left and right.
It makes every bad thing
go away to see him laugh
and smile. Jake and I
made silly faces at him
for hours just to get
smiles out of him. Jake
does this really cute 'pinchy
crab' impression and
Cage loves it (I do
to...it cracks me up
every time I see it).
For breakfast we had
cereal. (I bought three
boxes...all organic, no
sugar, and
vegan...'frosted
flakes', coco somethings,
and graham somethings...they
are a big hit with
Jake...that's all he
wants)
For lunch we had the
awesome ravioli
For dinner we had split
pea soup (peas again)
with carrots and peanut
butter sandwiches
Monday June 27
Still HOT! Ugh! I
like the heat
but its the humidity that gets
me. And the dogs, they don't
want to be inside but they love
to dig trenches and lie in
them. That's not a problem
because we fill them in and they
just redig them. Its kind of
silly actually. When Chewy was
with us they would always dig
her a trench to lie in. More
and more they want to be out all
night. Its never like they are
outside with out shelter because
we have a breezeway for them to
have access to at all times...but
I am just not comfy with
allowing them to stay out all
night. Besides I miss my
special time with them.
Cage is doing great! Great head
control when he is on his tummy
now. He makes the cutest
noises. Chris put together his
swing. That was awesome because
he absolutely loves it! So I
was able to do some cleaning (in
the same room as him) while
talking to him and not have to
hold him at the same time. Its
perfect.
For breakfast we had toast and
cereal.
For lunch we had peanut butter
and jelly (I say jelly but we
never eat jelly, I buy only
organic all fruit spreads), peas
(they are so good!), and chips.
(This is one of Jakes favorites)
For dinner I made amazing Chik
strips bbq sandwiches,
strawberry applesauce, veg
medley (broccoli, peppers,
carrots, onion)
We had fruit leathers, graham
crackers, tofutti cheese, soy
milk, and juice for snacks
today.
Sunday June 26
Can you say HOT? That's what the weather
was here. In the mid 90's with so much
humidity it was like being hit with a
brick. Chris decided to take a nice
afternoon nap with Cage so I decided to
dye my hair. I used White Mountain
Natural (yes its vegan and organic...no
chemicals at all) henna. I bought two
boxes quite some time ago and just never
used them. I have never done henna by
myself before. Pretty soon I was
signing "henna henna everywhere"...
First off I have TONS of hair. So the
two boxes I bought equaled four
applications. I figured this was
enough. The henna is pretty easy to
prepare. Boil water, add special
effects if you want them (I used paprika
for a warm red tone), mix, cool, apply.
Well this is the section where you can
see a lot of my personality. You are
supposed to strand test the day before
you use. This clears you for allergies
to the product and tells you how long to
leave it on. I decided strand tests are
for wussies. Had I done the strand test
I would have known how very difficult it
was to apply to my hair (and how long to
leave it on). I tried a squeeze
bottle. Henna is gritty and that didn't
work at all. So I ended up grabbing
handfuls and slathering it on. This
worked fine for the top of my head and
around my hair line but not for the
length. I tried and tried to get it all
covered and couldn't do it. So I ended
up dipping my head in the bowl I had
prepared the henna in. Most of my hair
is down to my rump so I am sure you can
imagine the disaster that happened when
I tried to bring my head up. Henna was
everywhere (and I did it slow and
gentle). Henna on the floor, henna on
the rug, henna on the dogs, henna on the
ceiling, henna all over the place. I
decided to deal with that later. So I
tried and tried to get my hair into the
bag they supplied (getting more henna
all over a different room in my house)
and finally I did. Heat enriches red
tones so Jake (who had woke up by now)
and I went outdoors. Well the heat made
the lenna start to melt and some of the
liquid that was in it started running
down my face and neck. Then it started
coming off in great big globs. I had
henna all over my face (if you don't
already know it stains) and sent Jake in
to get a towel. He bought me a white
one...beggars can't be choosers:) My
head ended up getting so heavy with the
henna on it I got a ripping headache.
Time to wash out the henna.
Washing it out was NOT easy. Not at
all. My hair was like one big
dreadlock. Imagine mixing sand, bark,
and tooth paste together sticking it on
your head and letting it dry in the
sun. That's what my hair felt like.
The grit would not come out. I rinsed
for 45 minutes and finally got my hair
to relax a little. So I put on some
Avalon Organics conditioner (lavender)
and let it sit. I rinsed my hair again
and there was a big improvement. Grit
was everywhere and made a great
exfoliate. I conditioned again and when
I rinsed I rinsed it all out.
Combing my hair was easy! It is never
easy! It was a breeze! My hair took
the color well, it turned out great, and
my hair feels amazing. Shine, bounce,
less tangles....amazing. Would I
recommend this product? Absolutely.
Will I use it again? Only if I get a
friend to come over. Chris and I
concluded that my hair is way to long to
dye at home alone. I did need three
boxes for maximum coverage but the old
color and the new compliment each other
so I have some kicking highlights where
the dye did not cover. All is well :)
For breakfast we had cereal and fruit
leathers.
For lunch we had peanut butter and jelly
(the first time I was allowed to eat one
due to my gall problems....oh man it was
heaven!), sweet peas, and oven fries
For dinner we had grilled vegan cheese
sandwiches, more peas (they were really
good!), and corn tortilla chips.
I hurt some after eating but it was much
better:) Yay!
June 17 thru 25
OW! I have had complications with
my surgery due to my fall. The migraine
did fade (thank dog) but was replaced with a
constant searing pain. I have had a hard
time sitting up (hence the no blog for a while)
and pretty much doing everything. Eating
was a no no for a while...which made me very
grumpy. I am starting to feel better now,
and starting to get back on line.
I went to my surgeon and he said I have to go
see a GI Tract specialist. They will be making
the appointment for me on Monday.
Otherwise everything is great (except for the
fall).
Cage has been so awake lately! He loves to
sit outdoors. I had forgot how neat it is
to have a (infant) little human. He must
think its pretty neat too with everyone always
trying to make him laugh and smile. He is
getting so big so fast. He has 6 nannies
(the dogs) that will tell me if he makes the
tiniest sound of discontent...its pretty funny.
If I am in the kitchen cooking for Jake and Cage
rolls over in his crib making a little sigh
along the way I have several dogs that will sit
on the floor and whine until I go see if Cage is
ok. When I give him a bath Max (the newest
member of our family...a long haired daushund)
always sits on the rim of the tub. If he
cant get to the tub he will sit and whine until
he gets there...then he just watches.
Jake is on summer vacation from school now.
I am looking into a summer program of some sorts
for him. It is really difficult to find a
solid stable summer program that is not run by a
church. OK, no I don't think there is
anything wrong with church if that's your
thing...but it isn't mine. I certainly do
not want anyone pushing their beliefs on my son.
If he has questions they get answered but I
really want him to make up his own mind about
religion when he is ready. (I personally
believe in Darwin.) So the search for a
summer program goes on....
On July 6th Jake will be 5 years old!!! I
can't believe my little guy will be that old.
I am planning him a party (bowling, mini golf,
go carts, bumper boats...yes I found a wonderful
place to host it). What to get him for his
birthday? I am in the dark about this.
He wants Yu-Gi-Oh cards (the creator of yugioh
is a vegan and speaks out against animal
cruelty) and that's fine but I like to get him
something educational (maybe his first
microscope) and really fun (a swing set of
types) as well. I just can't make up my
mind.
As for my recent diet I have tried to eat things
that count. Like raw fruits and veggies
(asparagus, strawberries, apples, spinach,
carrots, grapes, raspberries, cucumbers,
pineapple, etc.) and plain pasta ( I like
alfredo noodles). I also had some soy
yogurt (strawberry, blueberry, peach) and some
primal strips (meatless jerky...they are
awesome). I tried to eat nuts but that
didn't pan out so well for me. I did eat a
veggie burger yesterday and I was able to
tolerate it so things are moving forward for me.
I am really looking forward to putting the
surgery and related problems behind me. I
have been horribly bored and I am tired of being
in pain!
Well Chris and I decided we want to open a Farm
Sanctuary. I am starting a proposal
hopefully today to start things in motion.
We want all the farm animals plus a shelter for
dogs. It is a pretty big dream but I
really see it happening...just when and how are
the questions. A farm I used to live on is
for sale now (what got our imaginations going)
and it is way out of our price range....but we
are trying to get something together. Jake
is very excited. We all are very excited.
It is always nice to have a goal to work
towards. This area desperately needs
a farm sanctuary as a learning environment.
I think it is important for the general public
to see that a cow is a living feeling being
rather than just food (and so on with the other
types of animals). Perfect environment for
vegan outreach :)
I have been thinking lately about the price of
life. It has been said hat you cant put a
price on life yet everyday I see things like a
double cheese burger for a dollar. Yet my
(vegan) double cheese burger can't be made
anywhere close to costing a dollar. There
is a price tag on life and it is dirt cheap.
Why is meat so cheap to purchase and
'fabulous fakes' so expensive? Also,
people say they can't stand the sight of blood
or dead things...yet they are cooking and eating
meat! In my mind that just goes to show
how society has desensitized the general public
to what is really food. UGH! I will
quit my ranting now, lol.
Well sorry for the short week. I should be
up and running normal now. Surgery is
never fun.
Thursday June 16
Day three of the migraine! Ugh!
And to make matters worse I fell and landed right on
my incisions (I landed on my bedpost). It hurt
really bad but I had to laugh at myself. It would
have made a great 'Funniest Home Video' with out the
swearing :)
Cage was awake today, all day! It was so cool. He
enjoys interacting with all of us, human and non. He
smiles, laughs, and coos. I just can't believe how
big he is getting! All of his first stage of baby
clothes fit him and he has even out grown several
outfits.
For Breakfast I had some veggie broth.
For lunch I had a grilled and caramelized onion
sandwich and some mixed nuts
For dinner I made a vegan frozen pizza (it was Amy's
brand and delicious!)
Wed. June
15
Day two of the migraine! I got
one hour of sleep last night, UGH!
Cage was awake all day! He spent his time looking
and exploring his surroundings. We had some fun time
with the bathroom mirror:)
My whole abdomen is a bruise! It looks horrible and
feels that way too. I am just really looking forward
to being able to eat with out pain. My day is
coming.
For Breakfast I had potatoes and onions
For lunch I had eggless salad sandwiches and lots of
tomatoes
For dinner I had corn dogs (make extra thick corn
bread batter and dip a veggie dog in it, quick
freeze.) fries, and salad. (One of Jakes favorites)
Tuesday
June 14
Well
the animal hoarder will be inspected on Sunday. I am
hoping the outcome is not as bleak as I expect.
I have a horrible migraine! Nothing seems to make it
feel better.
Cage is still sleeping a lot. That's ok with me
right now because I am not feeling the greatest.
Jake, Cage, and I are enjoying napping together:) I
am a believer in the 'family bed' to some extents. I
need my space to sprawl but I love to nap with
everyone. Jake slept with me until he was one and
off and on since then. We will always count on him
as a bed guest when there is a storm;)
For breakfast I had biscuits and agave nectar
For lunch I had deli slices (in sandwich form) and a
big salad
For dinner I had another sandwich and some veggies
and fruit
I am eating a bowl of cereal right now :)
Monday June 13
I had to take the first layer of my bandages off
today. I had a nightmare about it. In my dream they
were stuffed with dog hair! My dogs are shedding!
Too much anxiety, lol. So all the dogs got brushed
really really well and I am still not allowing bed
time together. I took the bandages off and there was
no hair. I am such a dork hehehe.... In fact
everything is fine and looks good considering. I
find it is much easier to stand upright now too. The
other bandages must have been constricting me.
Cage decided to eat and eat and eat today. I am
trying out new positions so he doesn't rub my
wounds. So far we like laying down best, but it is
still tricky for me. When I do sit up I use my
nursing pillow wrapped in super soft 'fleece'
material. I think I may leave the 'fleece' on...it
is so nice and soft.
Jake and I watched a Scooby Doo movie tonight
complete with nutritional yeast laden pop corn. The
pop corn was awesome and Jake liked the movie so it
all worked out.
Right after the movies end I got a phone call from a
concerned person. Seems she knows an animal hoarder.
From the sounds of it she is an especially bad one.
A year and a half ago there was only trails you
could walk on thru the house, animal waste
everywhere, maggots on the floor in filth, sick and
dying cats, sick dogs...and now she is getting
evicted from her rental and needs the animals
placed! Geez, I wish it was that simple! So I gave
the lady a run down on animal hoarder disease and
she agreed that it fit the woman perfectly. I also
explained (as it was told to me that many animals
were severely sick and some had died) that the
animals may be suffering with illness and needed
immediate Vet evaluation...which costs money. She
agreed with that too. We decided that she would get
in contact with the woman's well-to-do family. She
is also going to this woman's house with a friend of
mine on Wed to do an official assessment. I should
hear back from the family said tomorrow. I asked
that they pay for the woman's on going pysch care
(that I would help establish) and pay for the
animals vet care. We will see what happens.
For breakfast today I had potatoes, mushrooms,
tomatoes, and onions all together with biscuits.
For lunch I had a deli slices sandwich with butter
lettuce.
For dinner I had a mixer...some popcorn with
nutritional yeast, some veggie broth, a banana, and
a flavored frozen ice.
Sunday June 12
OW! I over did it yesterday. I was feeling good and
moved around too much or moved the wrong way but I
am paying for it today. I also decided I didn't need
to take my pain medication in the night and that was
a mistake too. You live and learn...
I am still having a hard time standing upright.
Chris says I walk like a granny all hunched over :)
I need help up and down. Oh my, lol...it is rather
humorous. All this pain now is worth being able to
eat again and not have any more gall attacks though.
Cage is doing well. He is sleeping a lot still, but
I am sleeping a lot still, so it works out well.
Actually with all the storms we are having here we
are all sleeping a lot.
Jake just cant get over the pics of my gall bladder
and the stones. He keeps asking to see them and goes
"Oh WOW" Hehehe...its pretty cute.
For breakfast I had potatoes and onions, biscuits
with jam, and breakfast links
For lunch I had lots of juice
For dinner I had a veggie wrap, potatoes, and a big
pickle
Saturday June 11
Ugh...I still feel the effects of the anesthesia. I
am coughing it up constantly (and it hurts to cough)
and I am still woozy. I am pretty much in bed all
the time, its the most comfortable.
I am eating off and on small bits. I cant believe I
am on the same crappy diet for a month! Its worth it
though in the long run.
I had potatoes (chunked up and heated up),
applesauce, toast, a veggie burger, pretzels, and
fruit in no particular order today.
Friday June 10th
Surgery Day!!!! I am so nervous!!! I didn't sleep at
all last night!
When I got to the hospital they asked me to shower
with a special soap...it was medicated and
anti-everything. When I got out they started my IV
giving me fluids and some stomach medicine (I forgot
to mention that before I came I had to call and ask
permission to take my gall medicine because I had
such a horrible gall attack I couldn't see
straight!). They said it would be any time and I
would be going. So we waited. And waited. My
scheduled surgery time passed. Chris, Jake, Cage,
and I all fell asleep. Then we woke up. Four hours
had past since my scheduled surgery time. Stressed
out and angry I asked the nurse when it was going to
happen and what had happened. She said there was a
scheduling conflict and I should be going with in a
couple hours. Well that was too much for me! I was
so scared anyway I decided we were leaving. I said
we could come back some day when they got there
scheduling worked out. (Yes, I can be very dramatic)
As I was on the phone with my mother the
anesthesiologist came in and gave me a sedative. I
asked what she had given me and she told me, but I
don't remember now. Next thing I knew I was in the
operating room asking for photos of my surgery. The
nurse giggled and said sure. Then I woke up in
recovery.
OW!!!!!! Waking up really hurt! The nurse told me to
breathe, I told the nurse if I wasn't breathing I
would be dead, she told me to be quiet and go to
sleep, I told her I was in too much pain to do
anything, then she pushed some pain relief in my IV
and I was able to calm down a bit. I guess its silly
of me, but I never expected that much pain! lol!
They let me go home after I ate something and held
it down. They brought me chicken broth (not eating
it), Jell-O (not eating it), coffee (it was not
decaffeinated, not drinking it), and grape juice
(ok, that's a good one). All this after I told them
in detail about my diet! They said I needed to eat
more so they took my order and went to the cafeteria
for me. I got a veggie burger, a salad, fresh fruit,
a bagel (plain), and raw veggies. Perfect! Now of
course I didn't eat it all but I had a bit of
everything (split it with Chris, Jake had went to my
Mom's at this point) but it was enough. I went home!
YAY!
When I finally got here it was 1am so there wasn't
much to do but greet the animals and go to bed. It
is so good to be home!!!
June 02
Rainy day. I like the way
it sounds filtering thru the trees. Lots of muddy
paws, lol.
We kept Jake home from school today. All in all it
was a good day. At the last minute we decided to run
to the health food store. I needed some soy pudding.
They told me I could order a case...in fact I can
order anything I want in a case! I can see myself
getting into trouble with this :) I want a case of
pudding, a case of yogurt, a case of soycheese
pizza, and the list goes on and on and on.
Saturday we are picking up the new dog. This will be
exciting! I can't wait to meet her.
For breakfast I had some soy. Everyone else had
oatmeal.
For lunch I had tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and
onions on panini bread.
For dinner I had pot stickers vegan style. I have
not had them in so many years. They were awesome!
Also had some soy yogurt and pudding.
I also bought some strawberry soymilk today. It has
pureed strawberries in it. I am impressed (add that
to the case list)
While at the health food store one woman I usually
see there said she found this site on line. She said
she had no idea that we were so involved in animal
rights and she was very impressed. I am happy for
the feed back :) I guess I don't even think about
being so involved anymore, its just my everyday
thing. Granted, everything is slow for us right now
with my upcoming surgery and the new baby but I
expect things will pick up again soon. Chris told me
I can't have a conversation with anyone without it
ending up in animal welfare/rights in some way. For
some reason people always bring it up and I am glad
they do. I don't have much else to talk about :)
June 01
Oh what a day! I had a Dr apt today for my
post delivery and pre surgical check. Everything is
fine. I am having my tubes tied the same day
that I am having my gall bladder out. June
10th!!!
My Ob/Gyn said I am healthy (other than the pesky
gall bladder) and the baby looks great. He
does look great...he is the cutest baby in the
world:)
Jake had a field trip today to the Indiana Dunes
National Lakeshore. It was supposed to be
three hours of fun in the woods. Chris and I
picked Jake up from school and headed out there to
meet his class. When we arrived we were
informed that Jake was not allowed to go on the
field trip today because he didn't listen to the
teacher and ran outside without telling anyone.
OK, I agree with loss of privileges for bad behavior
however I do not agree with getting told about his
behavior in front of the other parents (one who
stayed behind just to listen...she left after a very
dirty look from me) or the fact that someone could
have told us BEFORE we drove all the way out there.
So tomorrow I am going to have a talk with his
school...politely and ask what we can do to prevent
this in the future. We already feel like we
don't fit in (I didn't get a Hummer or equally
expensive vehicle for Christmas, I am the only
parent covered with tattoos, I do not live in an
estate, you get the drift) but a good education is
so important for us to give Jake and Cage (soon).
We pay through the nose ($600/month) and it is worth
every penny. I was private schooled for a long
time and would have done great things with it if not
for the car wreck, amnesia, and running across the
US following the Grateful Dead or similar bands
(that had nothing to do with amnesia). At
least I know my ass from a hole in the ground :)
So Jake had a bad night. He was very upset
about the events of the day. I decided to go
pick up dinner from one of my favorite restaurants.
Vegan spaghetti, freshly made bread, and lightly
sautéed spinach....Oh it was heaven. While in
the restaurant Jake announced to everyone that I
breast feed, milk comes out of my breasts, drinking
milk from cows is wrong unless you are a baby cow,
and he loves his brother. I have to admit I
blushed at the breast feeding comments. The
place is located on a golf course and has the most
amazing food. I always order something not on
the menu and they go out of their way to accommodate
me. I had them cater my wedding :)
For breakfast I had a big glass of soy.
For lunch I had a grilled/caramelized onion sandwich
(don't knock it till you try it)
For dinner I had spaghetti, spinach, and bread (oh
man that was good)
Now I am going to go watch adult swim and relax.
Oh...I am taking in another dog soon. She is a
7 month old pedigreed Mini Schnauzer. My
mother has been looking for over a year. This
must be a new trend...its raining pedigreed dogs!
I have to admit I can't wait to have a Schnauzer
around again :)
