2. But I am still getting my "reward" of a mini-vacation to NYC because I have to be up there for parties on Aug. 21 and Aug. 28, and my dad's birthday is Aug. 22, so I'm just going to stay up there the week in-between. I figure the "punishment" is having Emily kick my ass a bit.
3. My amazing friend, Tara, is doing the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training. Help her reach her $1800 fundraising goal!
4. Every year I get an amazing gift for my birthday: Shark Week! In honor of Shark Week, remember to be fearless, graceful, and to chew your food really well.
5. Yeah, I turn 29 in a week. I weigh less now than I did at 19. Ain't that a headscratcher? As I get older there are fewer things I want for my birthday. As simple as it seems, all I really want is a day where I don't have to worry about everyone else. I don't want to have to coordinate anything, I don't want to worry about anyone else's dietary preferences/needs. I just want to do my thing. Part of this is because I get depressed every year around my birthday as well as bad things happening around my birthday. If I could go a year where I don't get dumped, my leg isn't in a cast, it's actually remembered, no one shows signs of terminal illnesses, or there are no fights, I'll be happy.
6. Please, if I'm not following your blog and should be, please let me know. Between Blogger, Facebook, and Twitter, there are a lot of people to be keeping track of!
Isn't Phoenix handsome?? He's a really good guy that loves a thorough belly rub. I mean, who doesn't? He's currently being fostered, but contact the Washington Animal Rescue League if you're interested in this lovebug, or if you want to make a donation (money donations or from their wish list). I know we're also running low on slip leads.
Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
Canine-alitytm: Goofball
Age: Adult Size: Large
Phoenix is an 8-year-old Lab Mix. Phoenix and his brother were surrendered to the League when their owner moved somewhere that did not allow pets. He is a very sweet boy, who loves to romp and play. Phoenix has always lived with another dog, so we'd like to send him home with a calm canine companion.

ReplyGood for you about weighing less now than at 19. And same goes for liking your muscles! So many women don't like them, but they are wonderful and lean. And Phoenix is beautiful. We're looking to get a doggie next year when we move, so I'll look to that place for a lovely one. :)
You've come such a long way - celebrate!
