If it's free, they want it, they need it, can they have 2? Their eyes are glowing, their fingers are in a grabbing mode. They feel entitled, worthy and deserving of anything they can get!

Well, I am tickled red to say that I've been working hard on training my dogs so that they understand that me, myself, Sylvie is <u><strong>THE</strong></u> alpha of this gang. However, Bella is still very skittish when there are lots of people. So, I'm strolling along and just smiling back at everyone who is smirking at me because – without a lie, we make a beautiful picture the 3 of us . <o:p></o:p></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">So, as Nick and i turn RIGHT at the corner, Bella decides that she does not like the sound of this group stopped on the side of the path and she swerves LEFT! Well, unfortunately, she's only 2 steps in front of me, and because she gives me <b><u>no</u></b> warning whatsoever and i have <b><u>no</u></b> time to prepare for this abrupt change in direction, there i go, ass over tea kettle, flat on the ground in front of 599,999 people! Embarrassed? Yes. Furious? Oh yes. Then Bella comes and licks my face to say: "I'm sorry Mom." Awwww.</span></span></span></span><br />

At home, I check out the road rash on my right elbow, hip and knee and cover the whole thing with Polysporin and band-aids . </span><v:shape alt="" id="_x0000_i1027" style="height: 150pt; width: 2in;" type="#_x0000_t75"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: #990000;"> <v:imagedata o:href="http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-0809-0614-2432_Band_Aid_Clip_Art_clipart_image.jpg" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image004.png"></v:imagedata></span></span></v:shape><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: #990000;">Thankfully I never let go of the leash when i lost control so i haven’t lost the dogs, just a good chunk of skin and pride. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: #990000;">The moral of this story? Two options, as I see them:<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">1. If you're walking crazy dogs, only go to the park at 5 A M or when it's pouring ;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you are less likely to draw a crowd if no one else is there!<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">2. If you want to be bedazzled by "old dogs, new tricks" go to the park on sunny days. What's one woman's worse moment might just be the most entertaining thing you've seen all week!<o:p></o:p></span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://www.clipartof.com/portfolio/sajem/illustration/moodie-character-unbalanced-on-a-board-432338.html"><img alt="Royalty Free RF Clipart Illustration Of A Moodie Character Unbalanced On A Board by Johnny Sajem" height="159" src="http://images.clipartof.com/thumbnails/432338-Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Moodie-Character-Unbalanced-On-A-Board.jpg" width="150" /></a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I have never been a “halfway” kind of person. Do I view my glass as half-full or half-empty? 100% full or 100% empty has always been my favored way of thinking, as distorted as that can seem, to the uninitiated. It's yes or no, never maybe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I love that verse from John 10:10, when Jesus claims… “I have come that they may have life and have it to the FULL” (emphasis mine)… </span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Well, that’s what I want to do, live it to the full extent possible.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Sparingly? Sparsely? The afore-mentioned are adjectives I don’t often identify with the way I live: Am I right? Wrong? Who’s to say? What I know is that I am aware of my passionate sense of life and am also conscious that I need to protect myself… from myself. I'm addicted to the Full-Life principle and want nothing less! Do you think i was born for a "little life"? Moi? La Petite Vie ~ not for me! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Is that safe, you ask? Well, i have found a way to work on that problem of mine. I need a Little "S" 12-Step Program (no Peanut Gallery, that's not a Country and Western dance lesson). <img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://www.twosteptidewater.com/images/tip52-1.gif" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="167" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">From my readings, Twelve Step meetings are not for the faint of heart! Do you think it's easy to put yourself out there, naked, problems in full view of anyone? How I wish that I could stand up at such a meeting, and state to all present: <img height="199" id="il_fi" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_QqUhW9yTLA/S2ig8oxwe0I/AAAAAAAAAWQ/i4o7__bYrOw/Public-Speaking.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" /><strong><em>" YES, my name is Little "S"</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>and i am a mess! (Hey! that rhymes!) I don't know if i'm coming or going but as long as i've looked like i knew what i was doing, i've had you fooled. Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm just as human and broken as you are because, by the way, i am <u>not</u> in control. " </em></strong> Cough. Choke. Gasp!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I need something that realigns me back in a place of normal human deficiency, and that helps me go on with more than just a black or white attitude. Being middle-of-the-road is not necessarily considered wishy-washy. It should also teach me a balance which I sadly (?) lack and show me I am not the only one who needs reminders of the health hazards of living this full way and the tremendous benefits of not constantly jumping on and off the wagon <a href="http://www.clipartguide.com/_pages/0511-0908-2223-4557.html"><img alt="Cartoon of a Covered Wagon clipart" border="0" height="100" src="http://www.clipartguide.com/_thumbs/0511-0908-2223-4557.jpg" width="92" /></a> ; broken ankles are the least of my worries! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Wagons can have so many different shapes; some are likely to be very well hidden: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Drinking excessively whether it’s Starbucks coffee, Coca-Cola or rye & ginger ale! Can't function without watching the news, on every channel, 3 times a day, under the guise of wanting to be in touch? Day totally ruined when someone gets to the crossword puzzle before you at coffee break? Eat, read or sleep too much? Organizing my week to fit around my life-choices and absolutely devastated if something goes awry? Am i still in charge? Is the bull running the cart or is it the other way around?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Obviously, the answers to these questions are going to be different for each one of us. However, w</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">hat I mostly appreciate about the 12-Step family mentality is that it is not wrong to acknowledge our weaknesses because once we get to that point, we are able to not only see that we are not alone in our excesses but also see that we can be realists and truly intend to roll up our sleeves and get to work at becoming the people we will value even more than we already do. I love AA's motto of : " <strong>Progress, not Perfection</strong>."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I have learned that one of the most important Commandments is to “…love your neighbor as yourself..”. Well, if I don’t love myself enough to want to be the best I can be, what does that look like for my neighbor? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">What am I addicted to that is dragging me down? <img height="111" id="il_fi" src="http://lenleatherwood.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/432342-royalty-free-rf-clipart-illustration-of-a-moodie-character-out-of-balance-with-a-ball-and-chain-on-a-board.jpg?w=450&h=250&crop=1" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Is it a monster that has taken life of it's own? <img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://www.illustrationsof.com/royalty-free-monster-clipart-illustration-1124251.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="190" /></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Something to ponder on, anyways, in these days of excessive seasonal partying opportunities; will i make it.... or blow myself up? Maybe living to the full just reminds me not to settle for the crumbs dropped under the table; maybe it's about not being afraid of loving to the max, with no regrets. And maybe it's just a state of being, a spirit fully satiated because i'm becoming the best that i can be, the person i am meant to be!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Signing off... and walking the line, today anyway :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">What got me started?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> This quote, </span>from a book of Peter Behrens, which I just finished reading:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> "</span>The O’Briens" -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By the way, I totally recommend this Canadian author I just discovered.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">“<strong><em>You were never really lost because there was nowhere you weren’t lost...It was only panic that caused trouble.”<o:p></o:p></em></strong></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Isn’t that the truth!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m lost all the time, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>however, I only panic once in a blue moon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">We’re talking here about someone *me*, who gets lost ALL the time!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, I am not exaggerating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once my son had to come and rescue me ~on my 50th birthday~ because I lost my way while driving to an important exam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can still remember that phone call:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I dialed him, he recognized my number and started signing “Happy Birthday” before he said hello.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I replied:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“No, it’s not a happy day, I’m lost” and I was balling my eyes out<img height="167" id="il_fi" src="http://thumbs.gograph.com/gg55617357.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="170" />, on the verge of a full-blown panic attack, <span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 7.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"> </v:shapetype></span>with my mom and sister visiting from out of town in the car with me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I was freaking out about being late; so I stopped on the side of the road and from</span> my cell phone, <img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oQfD1Xjj_bY/S3HsLhnbyoI/AAAAAAAAAuc/-FqnIN6Ezu4/s200/12349-Clay-Hand-Holding-A-Cell-Phone-With-A-Weather-Report-Displayed-On-The-Screen-Clipart.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="170" />, between sobs, I explained to him where I was. Within minutes – thank goodness I was close to where he lived – <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he appeared out of nowhere, telling me to look ahead of me on the road and there he was in his car, to lead the way!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then we found the school <img height="152" id="il_fi" src="http://dir.coolclips.com/Education/School/School_Buildings/russian_school_building_CoolClips_vc111954.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="200" />but couldn’t find how to get in… and here is my boy, holding my hand and running with me to find a door that was not locked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tell you – that made up for a lot of his teenage shenanigans!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Another time, I was out at a Christmas get together in a neighboring town and even though I had made it there with no trouble at all, it was dark at departure time and I got completely turned around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ended up in the middle of nowhere, where there were no streetlights, no homes, no stores… and only one truck following me from way to close for my comfort - i started hearing eery music in my head... freaky!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I did not have my cell phone!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After half an hour of driving in the dark, I finally spotted a house with Christmas lights on <img alt="Free Christmas Lights Clipart" border="1" height="76" id="saveImage" src="http://www.clipartpal.com/_thumbs/pd/holiday/christmas/String_Lights.png" width="200" />and figured they probably weren’t murderers if they had decorated their home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I got out of my car, rang the doorbell and broke into tears when a lady answered the door!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I explained to her that I was lost, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>where I was coming from and where I wanted to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She handed me a box of Kleenex <img alt="" border="0" class="thumb inl" height="148" id="t54838441" src="http://sr.photos2.fotosearch.com/bthumb/CSP/CSP295/k2953366.jpg" style="height: 126px; width: 170px;" width="200" />and proceeded to explain to me how to get back on the main road;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I followed her directions and was promptly on my way home, albeit over an hour late.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scary!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I think my problem is that I do not have one ounce of a sense of direction in me. PERIOD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I get in trouble when I forget that and decide to follow my instincts which are ALWAYS wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So what do I do about this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do have some options: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">One</span></u><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could get a GPS unit in my vehicle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <img alt="" border="0" class="thumb inl" id="t58981073" src="http://sr.photos2.fotosearch.com/bthumb/CSP/CSP733/k7331546.jpg" style="height: 128px; width: 170px;" /> </span>Yes, there is something of the sort in my cell phone but since we’re not supposed to use our cell phones while driving, this is not very helpful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<u><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Two</span></u><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need a chauffeur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <img alt="" border="0" class="thumb inl" height="198" id="t3784349" src="http://sr.photos1.fotosearch.com/bthumb/DNV/DNV223/068f0695pm.jpg" style="height: 169px; width: 170px;" width="200" /> </span>A little pricier than option one however, it would kill 2 birds with one stone (no Peanut Gallery, I don’t really kill birds, it’s just an expression that convenes efficiency). This would allow me a reprieve from driving and a worry-free trip as to the possibility that I am going to appear at my destination on time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">The moral of the story?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I find a good way to get somewhere, I stick to it and you could tell me about better ways or shortcuts and I won’t listen to you because, if I change my mental roadmap, <a class="sa_ext" href="http://wzus1.ask.com/r?t=p&d=us&s=a&c=a&app=a16&dqi=&askid=0c344a6b-3246-4d2d-aa8a-ba8331752c80-0-us_gsb&l=dir&o=2830&oo=2830&ld=1608&sv=0a5ca883&ip=464ec10c&id=DD857693DAB9765DF539CB6B9065A0BD&q=free+map+clipart&p=1&qs=999&ac=613&g=3ba0l08jnRvzFZ&cu.wz=0&en=pi&io=1&b=a001&tp=34&ec=10&pt=&ex=da_origin%3Draw%26da_lhx%3Dimagesearch%3A+image+types+of+X%26da_sro%3D1565667%26da_sn%3D00095%26da_lhp%3D1%26da_lhs%3D1565574&url=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.ask.com%2Ffr%3Fq%3Dfree%2Bmap%2Bclipart%26desturi%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fmajoke.com%252Fpage%252F13%252F%26initialURL%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ask.com%26fm%3Di%26ac%3D%26fsel%3D2%26ftURI%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fimages.ask.com%252Ffr%253Fq%253Dfree%252Bmap%252Bclipart%2526desturi%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fmajoke.com%25252Fpage%25252F13%25252F%2526imagesrc%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fmajoke.com%25252Fblog%25252Fwp-content%25252Fuploads%25252F2009%25252F09%25252Fmap_clipart.jpg%2526thumbsrc%253Dhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fmedia4.picsearch.com%25252Fis%25253FMqMXtDMU8aWJNAYbz0o2ro4IAXeX-GdRGrIfEEhyNHo%2526thumbuselocalisedstatic%253Dfalse%2526thumbwidth%253D128%2526thumbheight%253D118%2526fn%253Dmap_clipart.jpg%2526imagewidth%253D160%2526imageheight%253D148%2526fs%253D49%2526f%253D2%2526fm%253Di%2526fsel%253D2%2526ftbURI%253Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ask.com" target="_blank" wz="1"><img border="0" src="http://media4.picsearch.com/is?MqMXtDMU8aWJNAYbz0o2ro4IAXeX-GdRGrIfEEhyNHo" /></a>I’ll get lost one more time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">My goodness....what an adventure! That was yesterday, i'm still recovering!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">I left the house 40 minutes before the appointment, even when i know we are only 10 minutes away. <img height="200" id="il_fi" src="http://images.clipartof.com/small/66893-Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Red-Shiny-Alarm-Clock.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="140" /> I wanted to be there early, if only to give me a chance to calm the dogs down before we walked in. I don't think they are scared of the vet's office; it's just that we don't do it often and it is an EVENT! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">We walked in, introduced ourselves and went in to get weighed. <img height="200" src="http://images.clipartof.com/small/37946-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Disappointed-Brown-Dog-In-A-Rob-Standing-On-A-Scale-And-Reading-The-Results.jpg" width="171" />( Not me , you in the Peanut Gallery- the dogs! you'd know what the "we" figure of speech was if you were a mom). I was so happy and proud , no howling, no jumping on the counter, no kiss-kiss with the young receptionist ; they behaved so well . I am comparing to last year when they yelped and barked the whole time we were waiting ~this time, they both sat on my command , at my feet one on each side of me like <a href="http://transparent.clipartof.com/Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Sparkey-Dog-Sitting-Atop-A-Blank-Sign-102465326.jpg" title="Royalty-Free (RF) Clipart Illustration of a Sparkey Dog Sitting Atop A Blank Sign by Dennis Holmes Designs"><img alt="Royalty-Free (RF) Clipart Illustration of a Sparkey Dog Sitting Atop A Blank Sign by Dennis Holmes Designs" height="200" src="http://images.clipartof.com/small/65326-Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Sparkey-Dog-Sitting-Atop-A-Blank-Sign.jpg" width="180" /></a> bookends<a href="http://transparent.clipartof.com/Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Sparkey-Dog-Sitting-Atop-A-Blank-Sign-102465326.jpg" title="Royalty-Free (RF) Clipart Illustration of a Sparkey Dog Sitting Atop A Blank Sign by Dennis Holmes Designs"><img alt="Royalty-Free (RF) Clipart Illustration of a Sparkey Dog Sitting Atop A Blank Sign by Dennis Holmes Designs" height="200" src="http://images.clipartof.com/small/65326-Royalty-Free-RF-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Sparkey-Dog-Sitting-Atop-A-Blank-Sign.jpg" width="180" /></a> , and greeted everyone who walked by very gently - even a great Dane that looked to be the size of a small horse!!!... and then we were let into Exam Room 2. It was all good until the vet came in and Bella (my 4-year old female) proceeded to endear herself to the Doctor to get treats... How she <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>remembered from a year ago? I have no idea but she did! Anyhow... it was hilarious because it took 3 of us to hang on to Bella while she got her shots!! She is <strong><u>SO</u></strong> strong! There was dog hair flying everywhere, kiss-kisses to everyone within tongue range and worried looks from Nicky who was wondering what we were doing to his poor little sister!! </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.4pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">BUT, I was smart this time: (read: "been there, done that!" ) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, i sat on the floor right away so she would not knock me down in her exuberance, as she did last year... it was hilarious - some innocent bystander should have been there with a camcorder ... the video clip of this event would have gone viral on YouTube, i'm certain. </span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 14pt;">Nicky, the gentle-dog that he is, behaved wonderfully and got his shots and his treats without any fuss. We came home 2 hours later and all had a nap~ I’m probably the only one who needed it ~ other than the vet, that is! <img height="155" id="il_fi" src="http://www.chumpysclipart.com/images/illustrations/xsmall2/2688_picture_of_a_vet_chasing_a_dog_with_a_scalpel_in_his_hand.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="350" /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">All our words would have been said,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">All our trees would have grown tall, and</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Our tears would be for naught and</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Wow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a rush!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought I knew what I was getting into. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Boy was I wrong! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">I resisted the idea to prepare my blogs ahead of time and just post them on the right day , because my ultimate goal for this challenge was not to just do it, it was to make sure I learned to discipline myself to write every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was pressure!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good or bad, that remains to be seen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Setting aside the required time is something that needs to be a must for me and I seriously thought that it would be a piece of cake and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could fly through this with my eyes closed! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wahh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was not the case. I mean, i had chosen a word with each letter but that's like choosing a name for your child before it's born.... sometimes the name doesn't fit!!!! So it's back to the drawing board - sort of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Just like my <metricconverter productid="10 km" w:st="on">10 kilometer</metricconverter><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>run where I was exhausted before the finish line and was tempted to give up, I kept sight of the finish line getting closer and closer and by counting backwards, talked myself into finishing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was tougher than I had imagined, however, it was also more rewarding than anticipated.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Will I do it again?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Most p</span>robably.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think this must be like having kids. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s painful like crazy but if it was THAT bad, everyone would quit after the first one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now I’ve got 11 months to figure out how to get badges on my blog site, continue to visit my newfound friends and learn from the incredible stories they all have to share. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will plan on having nothing else of importance on my April 2013 schedule, I tell you that!</span></div>

It was such a pleasure to read you every morning before my day went nuts! <strong>Gracias</strong> fellow A to Z bloggers, everyone of you, you all deserve a badge; not only for posting your own (or multiples in several cases) but finding time to visit the neighbors! Merci beaucoup, awesome organizers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your encouragement was truly motivating and I’ve lived an incredible month because you pioneers did it first! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bravo and Brava!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You must remember one thing.</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A quart is one fourth of a gallon and is double of a pint.</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Thus <metricconverter productid="2 pints" w:st="on">2 pints</metricconverter> =1 quart</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">However, when it comes to pint, the imperial (British) pint</span><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">is more than the <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> pint. This is because an imperial pint contains <metricconverter productid="20 fluid ounces" w:st="on">20 fluid<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> ounces</span></metricconverter><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> while a <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> pint contains only <metricconverter productid="16 fluid ounces" w:st="on">16 fluid ounces</metricconverter>. So if you are a British sitting in a <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> pub, do not be surprised by the size of a pint of beer as it would be less than what you get in your country.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"><br />Also remember the the imperial pint is 20% more than the <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">US</place></country-region> pint. A quart is one fourth of a gallon, whether you are in <country-region w:st="on"><place w:st="on">UK</place></country-region> or US. The difference in volume may be there, but the relation between a quart and pint remains the same in both countries which is that a quart is double in volume to a pint.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Now that I know more about this subject than I ever intended to, I come to a conclusion: I really want to be a Canadian sitting in a British pub but I am totally flummoxed because I would now have to convert the whole caboodle into litres and if I consume even one pint, I won't be able to count anymore! I'll stick to good old H2O I think ! </span><br /><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;"><img height="170" id="il_fi" src="http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/hash/f1/e4/f1e4f17f854d374a80b45d668172fa4e.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="210" /><img height="170" id="il_fi" src="http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/hash/f1/e4/f1e4f17f854d374a80b45d668172fa4e.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="210" /></span></span> <br />

Always remember that no matter where you vacation, one P is never enough because half of a Q is not adequate for any instance I can think of.

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">The above is a versatile expression that can mean quite a few things; here goes, from good old Wikipedia (what in the world did we do before Wikipedia???)</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Papyrus; mso-ansi-language: EN;">One source of "mind your Ps and Qs" comes from early printing presses . Printers placed individual letters on a frame to print a page of text. Those two letters were reversed, making it easy to mistake lowercase ps and qs in setting the type. </span></span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Papyrus; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ok, p and q are mirror image letters, aren’t they? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Papyrus; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Allright, i get it!</span></span><br />

Bartenders would keep a watch on the alcohol consumption of the patrons; keeping an eye on the <strong><u>P</u></strong>ints and <u><strong>Q</strong></u>uarts that were consumed. As a reminder to the patrons, the bartender would recommend they "mind their Ps and Qs".</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: large;">I still remember to this day, from 34 years ago, waking up my 2 year-old little man at 10pm before I went to bed, to take him “potty” so the night would be dry. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He followed me, did his thing, and as I tucked him back in to his warm blankies, he <u>burped</u>! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, the great mom that I am, I said… “What do you say?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and he answered: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Thank you”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still laughing to this day of how silly I had been and how wonderful he was and still is. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">My favorite number <strong>9</strong> "thing" in a long time happened <u>yesterday</u>! Yes, Sunday, on my un-blog day! (Some people have un-birthdays, I have un-blog days) I signed up to run 10km in the Sun Run a while back, however, decided to bypass the training part. " Moi? , I don't need training", I said, "Been there, done that". Well, I was wrong. I do walk quite a bit ~ or get dragged by the dogs is more like it ~ however, I had not pounded the pavement in a long time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After what seemed like days on the road since I had left the start line, I came at a time that I seriously thought I was done in and would not be able to finish! And just as I was feeling seriously spent, i sent a prayer to my Big Boss in heaven and asked for help. And guess what He sent me? A big sign that said I had just hit the <metricconverter productid="9 KM" w:st="on"><strong>9</strong> KM</metricconverter> mark! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Not so long ago, this expression had negative connotations; dogs did not seem to live to their name of "Man's Best Friend". Here are few examples:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">In the dog house, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">a dog's breakfast, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">sick as a dog, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">going to the dogs, </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">dog tired and </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">dog-eat-dog world </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">But i notice something very strange with this expression <u>today</u>!! </span><br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">It is no longer true</span></b><span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Mine, for example, are 2 of the most spoiled creatures on earth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">They go to training school, doggy daycare, grooming salons and are bathed, manicured and pedicured. <img class="rg_i" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQckrzG4NiZezUebY7azqarWqSOrhFS5kIzX1eU5xmp3JKXQYkI7sK_mwaTLg" height="135" name="aw64nV4y6h9mvM:" onload="google.stb.csi.onTbn(0, this)" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQckrzG4NiZezUebY7azqarWqSOrhFS5kIzX1eU5xmp3JKXQYkI7sK_mwaTLg" width="148" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">Their vaccinations are up-to-date, up to the minute and they chow down on gourmet food that i have been known to prepare for them in my own kitchen and wouldn't think twice of eating that wonderful slop myself! </span><br />
