Did you know...

Dogs can smell cancer and low blood sugar. The Pine Street Foundation, a cancer-education and research center in San Anselmo, Calif., published a study showing it was possible to train dogs to identify, based on breath samples, which patients had lung and breast cancer. Now the organization is recruiting ovarian cancer patients and dogs for a new study. In diabetics, the presence of ketones—substances made by the body during the metabolic process—can be smelled in urine and on the breath when blood sugars are high. Dogs can pick up on other smells that humans can’t when glucose levels drop.

Pepper

Mom got us this plate;

It looks just like our little rascal, Pepper!!! Well, when she's groomed and pretty. Not so much right now. Right now she looks like a giant dust bunny.

Anyway, it's pretty cute :-) I like all the Schnauzer things I can find when they have floppy ears.

What a great day!

Did you know that the Race for the Cure in Indianapolis is the biggest in the country? 40,000 plus participants! It was an AWESOME day! The weather was perfect.

I AM SO PROUD OF MY MOM ~ SHE IS THE BRAVEST PERSON I KNOW!

more dumb stuff

here are some more wacky email addresses I saw today;

HotAndSassy@... so you'll be the office slut?
DrOfLove@... oh, and you'll be the office pimp!
ImOnlyPretending@... then I'm going to pretend I didn't get your resume
PopeyeWasGay@... you probably are too, not that that's a bad thing
EmployJerry@.... now see, I would hire this guy!
Any address with the word psycho in it…
WickedLil666@... I get it, wicked little devil - nope not gonna hire you either!

Let me just reiterate ~ except for Jerry, you all need to set up a more professional email address for yourself, to put on your resume. My tax dollars are paying your bills. At least you could pretend to be serious about finding a job!

uh oh

I haven't done our taxes yet! Guess I better sign up with Turbo Tax this year!

Were does the time go?

It's a busy month for us too. Last weekend was Easter and installing the new sliding glass doors, next weekend is Race for the Cure and the weekend after that is River Dance. And it's almost time for the dogs annual check ups.

tic toc tic toc...

For the birds?

Oh, there's my helmet.

But what's that twig sticking out of it?

What the heck?!?!?!

yeah, probably be getting a new helmet this year!

Random thoughts...

You know, that sunglasses thing in California? The reason I know that is because my niece got her first traffic violation for wearing sunglasses that were too big. She was SO upset! I would be too.

You know who else turns 50 this year? Fisher Price!!!

And here is my all time favorite Easter cartoon...



And the last random item...if you are job hunting, you should probably set up a different email addy for yourself, other than your personal one if it's anything like this;

FatAssSissy@....
IFoundLoveOnABusInMilwaukee@...
JaberJaws@...
WhosYourDaddy@...
HotForYou@...
OneHotMamma@...
PartyAnimal@...
KickAss@...
Come on now, I wouldn't hire you if I saw that on your resume! No wonder there are so many out of work folks.

WARNING! Not for the squeemish.

Don't look Angie!!!!

Yes, I can cook

Nobody would have ever guessed that I would grow up to love cooking! Now that there are no kids in the house and the hubby will eat anything, I really love cooking.

Tonight, Italian sausage, green, yellow and orange peppers and red onions all sauteed and mixed with fire roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce and some spices, poured over pene. Mmmmmm

And right around the corner is Easter! Which means homemade chicken enchiladas!!!

I am grateful...

Today I am grateful that my man didn't fall through the sliding glass door when he dropped it. That would have been messy! I'm also grateful for all the OT he worked so we can pay for the new sliding glass door. And I'm grateful that it missed ME and the dogs when it fell into the family room!!! Today, my man is grateful for a loving, forgiving, understanding wife on Prozac who didn't loose her cool and a great sale at Menard's!!

(Right about now, you know I'm feeling an urge to spend some $$ irresponsibly!!)

I'm also grateful for 4 seasons but I've had enough of winter weather now. I mean really, It's April 6th for heavens sake and it snowed all morning. What the heck!

I love a good pun!

And todays blog at cake wrecks is HILARIOUS!!

I am only one, but I am one...

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
Edward Everett Hale

I am just one person - one person who is doing something to make a big difference. You may be thinking that you are only one person but you too can do something! Every little “something” will help save a life. Make a donation to support a friend, family member or your favorite Race participant. We are urging all participants to join our 10 for $10 campaign and encourage 10 friends to donate $10 - together they will raise $100. If each of the 44,000 Race participants raised $100, we would have $4.4 million - enough to ensure that every low income woman in our service area has access to the screening they need to detect breast cancer in its earliest stage. You can help a Race participant reach his or her goal!

You are one and while you may not be able to do everything, together we can do something. Together we can walk or run for a cure. Together we can raise more money to find a cure. Together we can make this year’s Race (4/18/09) our best ever! Together we can end breast cancer forever!

Mom and Bill and I will be walking this year. Support your local center for breast cancer awareness and treatment. You can do something to help a save a life. My Mom is living proof!!!

Oh Vince!

I'm SO disapointed!

MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit, notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face.

My new tattoo!

Pretty cool huh? You can barely see my scar or the bumps from the screws!
