Nothing like a good book...

 I was catching up on my goal to read all the Newbery books when I caught my dogs reading Kate DiCamillo's new middle grade novel.           

My zombie reading dogs.

Truckers Can Earn Big Bucks in Texas...

No better time to take a photo than when you're driving right? 

But I've been having a hard time finding a job since we've moved to Texas

 and earning forty cents (obviously the company meant per mile) pays more than blogging. 

Feeling Blue...

Meet Blue

He enjoyed his fifteen minutes of fame on Wednesday's CBS Morning News. 

He was the adoption pet of the day. 

After one look at that face, Lorne decided he belonged in our boxer pack.

Blue turned three years old in Jan 2014

Pee Wee will be seven years old in August

Dezzy turned nine years old in Jan 2014 

Do It Ourselves Project

Over Lucy's spring break, our family installed outside lights and wired the attic for a security system.

On the second day of pulling wires, Lucy fell through the garage. 

Never a dull moment in the Texan Woods.

I love Lucy!

Didn't mean to be depressing in my last post...

I found my yellow crayon today. Thus the reason for my post. I've been busy purging old photos and documents I'd like to delete from my computer. Things I feel are important or funny, but not important enough to clog up my hard drive. So where is the next best place to put them? On the infinite, internet super highway, that's where.

PRIMARY COLORS

I wrote the following poem for a an Equinox party one of my California critique buddies hosted. To me it expresses what life is like for a bipolar personality.

Red is...

Passion

Love

Heart

Blood

Hot

Spicy

Sassy

Selfish

Fire

Anger

Hate

Madness

Me

Blue is... 

            Jeans

Sky

Water

Ice

Cold

Weakness

Sadness

Self-pity

Therapy

Medication

Pain

Yellow is:

            Light

Sunshine

Smile

Gold

Happiness

Stars

Wishing

Fleeting

I’ve lost my yellow crayon.

Without it, I cannot draw a rainbow.

With my two crayons, I make purple and create a bruise.  

I hide it from the world, but it’s always there.

Mixing up the red and blue.  No yellow to prove it’s healing.

I hate blue, so I draw a river with my red crayon.

I want the river to flow until the blue is washed away…

Forever.
