"I agree with Forrest Gump!"

This week on the Today show, there was a segment about these FL teens beating up on another teen (could have been a one-time friend). Personally, I thought it was brutal. This teen will now have to deal with hearing loss in one ear; possible vision loss ( not sure if it's temporary or permanent at this point); and who knows what other injuries she may have to live with when it's all said and done. The segment explained that the young lady blasted these "friends" on Youtube and this was their retribution for the mean remarks. Now, I did not read her remarks, so I cannot comment. However, there is nothing that anyone can say about me (true or false) that would make me want to endanger my own lifestyle (i.e. freedom from prosecution) or anger me that I'd want to go a few rounds with them. Life is entirely too short to waste it on drama. As Forrest Gump said so eloquently, "and that's all I have to say about that."

This is what happens when you don't post on a regular basis! Old news is new again~
For an entire week I had my cousin and his pooch visiting. Her name is Mia. She's a terrier (forgot which kind. . .ask me if I'm heartbroken over this fact). While she is totally a pampered princess (though I gave her the shoes as a Christmas gift), I must admit she's cute. Do I miss her? Somewhat. I was at least exercising by walking her each morning. But oh, did she and the cat drive me crazy! They circled each other and the cat growled, the dog chased her, and hijinks ensued. My cousin and I would stop in midsentence just to see what would happen next! It was sorta comical. However, when they left, I never saw two inhabitants more excited to see them go! The cat ran around the house more and the first few nights I heard her playing with her ball (my gift to her--Chi Chi for those who've forgotten or didn't know)--all was right with the world again.

My cousin told me later that Mia was looking for Chi-Chi for about 3 days after returning home. I guess we do get used to one another (even if it's temporary)
