We went to see Great Grandma today.  We were supposed to be there at 2, but Dad decided to do groceries and take his time and whatever, so we were there at 3, just in time to cut the cake.  The cake was lovely, and of course, pink.  Mom and Grandma cut flowers from their [...]

Joanna’s kids came over Wednesday and were suprised by a few things, so thought I’d clear the air:

On the first picture I posted, I zoomed in a lot.  Pepper is small.  Very small.  Think 4.5 pounds.  When she’s an adult, she’ll be around 15 lbs.  still small.
She isn’t housebroken.
The nipping when she’s playing (or even [...]

I was planning on not bombarding you with the mostly sleep filled life that is Pepper, but this was just too cute!  She loves the balance board.

You’re going to get sick of Pepper posts.
I made a video of her favourite toy.  here: http:www.theqdesk.net/Kristel/Wordpress/Pepper/pepper 001.AVI (watch the capital ending.  Link works for me if I copy and paste, not click.  weird.)
OMG I’m becoming one of those weird people who tape their puppy doing puppy things.  Oh well, I’ll try not to do [...]

I have a new puppy!!!

Her name is Pepper, she’s a scottie/cairn cross, and is possibly the cutest dog in the world.  She slept the entire way home (we know we won’t have a problem driving with her!) and she’s sleeping on my lap now.  She doesn’t quite like her bed yet, and she [...]

Oh man.
I did some research, found an extension that I just widget twitter on my blog (i think.)  so now i’m signed up.
oh man.
Apparently it’s also following Gavin, Sean, & Zoe.  Weird.
This seems like some seriously big social networking thing….
The weirdness will go away eventually, right?
Right?!
oh man.

Okay, so it’s not new news.  I’ve discussed with my allergist, and he feels that as long as it doesn’t shed (or at least not a lot) and doesn’t bark a lot (apparently salavia can carry allergens)  then I’m good to go.  My mom, however, is a different story.  She’s *very* opposed to the idea.  [...]

… if you haven’t practiced writing German seriously in over two years!!!  Of course, that late, erm this late, I’m prone to other mistakes — such as writing *my address* on a postcard destined for *Vicky’s address*  I put a blank label over it though, and it seems okay.  I hope it gets to you [...]

And today is…. Wednesday?  no wait, Thursday.
Been on a killer deadline this past week.  I made it, but barely.  Barely.  I wouldn’t have if I had to fool with graphics.  If I’m lucky I still won’t have to.  Maybe I’ll get lucky and I’ll get away with laundry & and cleaning house tomorrow morning.  (God [...]

So we all know I’ve been mad knitting a scarf just so I can start the next one… and I guess I was going too fast, because I found a mistake!  Unfortunately, it’s almost 3 feet ago — it’s not getting fixed.  And really, it’s not that noticable.  In fact, the only one who would [...]
