Oh mighty F-list!

So Amy the Dog and I are $65 away from our first milestone goal, when I can enroll the little stinker in her first level of classes.  Hopes are that that is all she will need, and frankly, judging from how damn hard it was to get to this point, I doubt there is any way we could afford the next level of classes even if this set ( Read more... )

I lost my sweet Jimmy today.  It was completely unexpected and I was completely unprepared for it ( Read more... )

...because I'm afraid I have just had too damn many depressing posts on my LJ lately, and I don't want to bum you all out, or make you avoid my posts.  But I have to chronicle this for myself ( Read more... )
