Brooklands Shelby Jubilee

April 16, 1994 - July 28, 2009

This is one of the last pictures I took. It's a crappy cell pic, taken while I was driving (shhhh), but she was smiling the best she could in it, so its the one I picked.

I do have Duck pictures, but may not have time to blog them before I'm off again tomorrow to GoG (Gathering of the Goddesses...what my girlfriends and I call our annual weekend together). This year we are headed to a different kind of location instead of the beach. There's a little gambling town in the south that isn't going to know what hit it this weekend, if we have anything to say about it. :-)

Darn these people and their secured wireless

I haven't managed to get a connection, ergo no blog post. So, in bullet style, typed on my phone, I'll try to remember what I was saying when I almost spewed on my laptop.

•Summer has been busy. I've tried to keep my kids occupied, which has been made easier by the fact that...

•They learned to ride bikes! Finally!!! Sheesh. At 10 and 8, it was time. We can finally go for family bike rides.

•I also haven't blogged because I have felt kind of boring lately.

•Sad news. My dog is dying. Shelby is 15, which is pretty damn good for a lab. Her arthritis has been bad for a while, but recently she stopped eating much, started drinking like crazy, and became incontenent in her sleep. The test results suggest that she is in the early stages of kidney failure, and her very high calcium levels suggest cancer. It was very hard to leave her with the sitter.

We're halfway through our week in Duck, NC. We're having a great time, and I'll have some great pictures to share. Kind of the blog equivalent of when our parents used to make their friends suffer through vacation slides. Not quite as bad as being made to watch birth videos. :-)

There would be a post here if I hadn't almost barfed

It'll be here as soon as I can swipe an Internet connection in the house. Blogging on my phone is too hard. I typed up a post in the car on my laptop, but I made myself so car sick that I got the spins. So, it's not finished yet because barf on one's keyboard would be a bad thing.

We're in Duck for the week, which means a bit of free time to catch up. :-)
