WOOT pt 1

Lenten Goal 1 accomplished.  I have finished reworking my CV!

Not so subtle

My mom is making a point to watch the Biggest Loser whenever I'm around.   I think she's trying to tell me something...

Lent...

it's not going to good.

Is this enough?

Jake's Last Adventure pt 1

Jake, my basset hound, is slowly dying of lymphoma.  He's getting weaker by the day.  Last fall, I had read an article about someone who's dog was dying and he created the perfect day for his dog.  I decided to that for Jake.  I had hoped to wait for a nice warm day so the windows could be open and he could stick his head out the window, but it was not meant to be.  There was one problem however.  Jake is now having good days and bad days.  The day I picked for his perfect day was a bad day.

Where did we go?
On Saturday we went to:

• Chick Fil A (Jake luves the mini-biscuits)
• Meremac State Park to look for Caves.  Jake was having none of it.  Slimy stuff on his paws.
• Meremac Conservation Area.  Nice flat trail.  Jake was so slow I let him walk off-leash. :)
• Three Squirrels Winery (Jake luves squirrels...)
• St. Michael in Steelville
• Dillard Mill State Historic Sight.  Jake was like a Missouri Mule.  I ain't walking anymore and you can't make me.
• Hope Springs in Steelville
• Chick Fil A

Sunday was a really nice day too.  Hiking Buddy decided to clear out his schedule and come with us.  We took Jake to a Shrine in Starkenburg to ask for a miracle for Jake.

On Sunday:

• Church of the Risen Savior
• Our Lady of Sorrows Shrine, Starkenburg
• 4 wineries :)

We still have to get Jake his ice cream.

All total, we went 506 miles.

I wants to see. squee of happiness

Overheard at Lunch...

Woman who has just been engaged is telling how she met her fiancee:

We were at a party and I heard the music for Final Fantasy and I thought it would make a great wedding march.  Then he came up to me and said it would be perfect for a wedding.  I knew he was the right one at that moment.
