Dear Dubbya

Thanks for giving the poor single mom, who works full time AND goes to school only $300.00 for her "economic Stimulus check". Maybe that will help with those bullshit gas prices.

fuck you,
Tara

I'm busy!

Anna Belle is here, and she rules. She is for the most part a very good girl. She's much easier than an infant. I think since I survived that, I can survive most anything. Life with a colicky infant is ROUGH!

This week the curse of my car has apparently come back. Monday I got a lovely flat tire. The third in the past six months, but who's counting? And today I started my car and it began to shake, wretch and grumble at me. Then the check engine light reared it's ugly orange face. My dad called me though, and said something about carbon and a spark plug and "easy fix". So that's good news...

I am incredibly busy these days with work/school/family(that includes puppy). This weekend looks promising. Tomorrow is the long awaited return to P-Town with Ali. Oh yes, good times. Saturday I think my friend Jenny Koslow will be visiting. And Sunday i'm making baked Mac & Cheese for my Michelle!! Yay for visitors! Especially since i'm not going anywhere with this new responsibility i've placed upon myself.

She's such a CUTE responsibility though, I just couldn't resist.

If you aren't listening to Arcade Fire, The National and Seabear you're missing out btw. When you stumble across their pure genius in your own time, don't say I never told you so. Since I am in fact, at this very moment telling you so.

I can haz daschund?

Big news in the Sully household! The newest member of our estrogen charged clan will be arriving home this Wednesday evening. Anna Belle the miniature, short haired daschund will be coming to live with us. I've spent the evening googling the breed and the best way to train them. I also purchased not one, but TWO dog training books. Neurotic much?

I also stocked up on all the essentials. Food, treats, nail clippers, food bowls, shampoo ect. And today I've learned something slightly sickening about myself. Apparently, when faced with pink frilly dog accessories I turn into Paris Hilton. Anna Belle has a pink leopard print bed waiting for her. She also has a pink leash and a pink collar that has cup cakes on it. Oh and her food bowl mat? Also pink and leopard print.

I don't quite know what got into me. Have no fear though, i've not totally gone over the edge. I did not buy a dog "purse" Nor did I buy any of those stupid dog outfits, and I don't foresee myself ever buying one. If I do, please stage an intervention. Seriously, I don't like people who put their dogs in uncomfortable dog clothing. The dogs hate it, you can tell. They look so.....ashamed and humiliated.

So yeah, soon my blog that was supposed to be comprised of my sarcasm soaked rants and music suggestions will be littered with puppy photos. I know you're excited, it's ok.

Other noteworthy topics for this week are:

It's May...why the FUCK is my heat on?

People are being bitten by rabid animals on Cape Cod. Big thanks to Mitt Romney for bringing rabies to The Cape!! We had a good run there folks, but for now you should probably stay far away from that raccoon that's out in broad daylight.

"Dan in Real Life" is a very good movie. "Lars & the Real Girl"? NOT so much.

That's all I got for tonight. I need to go read my "Dog Training For Dummies" book.
