I got a gym membership for Christmas but didn’t fill out the forms until January 1st.
This is Breezy the most awesome dog in the universe. I spent last New Year’s day at her house. She’s a party animal.

Yeah this year was bad. The economy went to the toilet. People are losing their houses and their jobs. It’s chaos. Some fool managed to steal my identity and I am having fun with creditors. Also, I no longer have a job I hated. This is a good and bad [...]

I love running and today was a very nice seven mile run. It was the same pace I usually run but it didn’t feel tiring. Also, I ran up and down some hills so it should have been more strenuous and slower than my other runs. Somehow I did it and I feel very [...]

This was a meme.
1. Open paint
2. Close your eyes.
3. Draw a cat.
I did a pretty gosh darn good job.
Also, I officially registered (i.e. paid for) for the Little Rock half marathon. I’m officially in it. No backing out now.

People, in general, tend not to like lawyers. We’ve all heard the lawyer jokes.
A man went to a brain store to get some brain to complete a study. He sees a sign remarking on the quality of professional brain offerred at this particular brain store. He begins to question the butcher about [...]

I left the one in the house and another cat outside because I couldn’t find him. Then I went over the hills and through the woods to grandma’s house. Literally.
