[chichimama]

Melinda! How's Dulce?

[melinda]

Oh, Chichi she is so stinking cute, and she is so well behaved. She has turned into such a wonderful little dog. I need to take some new pictures of her and post them....I love when she walks, b/c she does wiggle her little hips and looks so uppity, but in an adorable way that puppies can get away with. She also "frolicks" more than she walks and tends to bounce as she runs. She is just too cute. She is also completely house broken. Many people told me that dachsunds can be hard to train, but she caught on from the very start. She'll not only sit by the door when she wants to go out, she'll fetch her leash.

Lately she has enjoyed chasing birds and squirrels and, of course, digging holes in the ground.

thank you for asking! :)



and how are you and Scamp?

Scamp and I are great. Enjoying the sunshine and beach. Well, I am. Scamp isn't allowed on the beach.

[melinda]

She does not have a dogster.com page ... yet.

[melinda]

so the other night, signcut and I went out for frozen custard. There's a place within walking distance, and we took Dolce with us. She was so cute on the walk, because as she was walking way out in front of us (on her extended leash) another dog started barking at her. She ran back and got between me and signcut, but as soon as we all got up to the dog that had been barking, Dolce began barking at that dog. Signcut said she just needed to make sure she had back up.... :))

then when we got to the frozen custard shop, we both ordered our treats and the shop offered Dolce a cone of her own. It was so cute b/c I was holding my custard and Dolce's leash while signcut was holding his custard and he grabbed Dolce's cone with vanilla custard. We sat down at a table, and signcut was so adorable as he leaned over and fed Dolce her cone. Naturally I did not have my camera ... next time we go, I'll get a picture.

[melinda]

signcut keeps saying he doesn't like "the beast", but his actions say otherwise ... I can tell he loves her. :)

[melinda]

A time comes in your life when you finally get it... when, in the midst of all your fears, insanity, and confusion you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out "ENOUGH!" Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on to something that means nothing. And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shake for a while, stare into a non existing space, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes. This is your awakening. You realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change... or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon to greet you. You come to terms with the fact that you are neither Prince Charming nor Cinderella and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings nor are there any beginnings, and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with YOU... and in the process a sense of serenity is born of acceptance. You awaken to the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what you are... and in that you must learn to sit back and say “And that’s okay. I am who I am, and who I am to someone might not be who I am to this person or that person.” They are entitled to their own views and opinions. And you learn the importance of loving and praising yourself... and in the process a sense of new found confidence is born of self approval. You stop complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to you, and you learn that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected. You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say and that not everyone will always be there for you, and you have to learn to be independently strong. So, you learn to stand on your own two feet and to take care of yourself... and in the process a sense of safety and security is born of self-reliance. You stop judging and pointing fingers and you begin to accept people as they are and to overlook their shortcomings... and in the process a sense of peace and contentment is born of forgiveness. You realize that much of the way you view yourself, and the world around you, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into your mind. And you begin to search through all the junk you've been told about how you should behave, how you should look, how much you should weigh, what you should wear, what you should do for a living, how much money you should make, what you should drive, how and where you should live, who you should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends. You learn to open up to new worlds and different points of view. And you begin redefining who you are and what you really stand for in this giant world that we see so little of. You learn the difference between wanting and needing and you begin to discard the doctrines and values you've outgrown, or should never have bought into to begin with... and in the process you learn to go with your instincts. You learn that it is truly in giving that we receive. And that there is power and glory in creating and contributing, and you stop going through life merely as a "consumer" or “user” looking for your next fix. You learn that principles such as honesty and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era but the building blocks that hold together the foundation upon which you must build a life. You learn that you don't know everything; it's not your job to save the world. You learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to say NO. Then you learn about love. How to love, how much love you have to give, who to give everything too, and when to stop giving and simply walk away. You learn to look at relationships as they really are and not as you would rather have them be or something you have made someone in your own mind. You stop holding onto what used to be the definition of perfect, and realize that people change, you change, or maybe nothing’s changed and you just grow apart, take different paths. You stop trying to control people, situations and outcomes. And you learn that alone does not mean lonely. You also stop working so hard at putting your feelings aside, smoothing things over and ignoring your needs. You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OKAY... and that it is your right to want to be loved and it is okay to let people love you... and that sometimes it is necessary to make demands. You open your eyes and realize that the way one person loves you may not be the way you NEED to be loved, even if that person is someone elses idea of perfect. You come to the realization that you deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect. And to yourself you owe just as much as you make of yourself and decide that you won't settle for anything less. You learn that being emotionally tired fuels doubt, fear, and uncertainty and so you take more time to rest your mind, your body, your heart. And, just as rest and peace fuels the body, laughter feeds our soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play. You learn that, for the most part, you get in life what you believe you deserve... and that much of life truly is a self-fulfilling prophecy. You learn that anything worth achieving is worth working for and that wishing for some-thing to happen is different from working toward making it happen. More importantly, you learn that in order to achieve success you need direction, discipline and perseverance. You also learn that no one can do it all alone... and that it's OKAY to risk asking for help. You learn the only thing you must truly fear is: fear itself. You learn to step right into and through your fears because you know that whatever happens you can handle it and to give in to fear is to give away the right to live life on your own terms. And you learn to fight for your life and not to squander it living under a cloud of impending doom. You learn that life isn't always fair, you don't always get what you think you deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to good people. On these occasions you learn not to personalize things. You learn that God isn't punishing you or failing to answer your prayers. It's just life happening and you accept these happenings that are out of your control. You learn that negative feelings such as anger, envy and resentment must be understood and redirected or they will suffocate the life out of you and poison the universe that surrounds you. You learn to admit when you are wrong and to build bridges instead of walls. You learn to be thankful and to take comfort in many of the simple things we take for granted, things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about. Slowly, you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never, ever settle for less than your heart desires. You make it a point to keep smiling, to keep trusting, and to stay open to every wonderful possibility that life hands you. You teach yourself to truly fall at peace with this and with your life, with yourself, and others around you. You open your eyes to the world and what it has to offer your talents and gifts. You decide that today is today and tomorrow today will be gone, and if today doesn’t work out then you always have tomorrow. You stop letting people walk all over who you are and stop going through the motions of everyday life. You learn that people will always talk about the negative and never dig deep enough to find the good, and you become aware of who is important enough in your life to make understand this person you are, and learn how to let go of others that wait to watch you fall or to hurt. Finally, with courage in your heart and God by your side you take a stand, you take a deep breath, and you begin to design the life you want to live as best you can.

The New Health Care Plan will be . . .

. . .. passed by a Congress that hasn't read it,
. .. . signed by a president who smokes,
. . . funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes,
. . . overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.


More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.


Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.


I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?

[melinda]

An Israeli doctor says 'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can
take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for
work in six weeks.'


A German doctor says 'That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person,
put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.'

A Russian doctor says 'In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can
take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both
looking for work in two weeks.'

An ILLINOIS doctor, not to be outdone, says 'You guys are way behind, we
recently took a man with no brains out of ILLINOIS, put him in the White
House for SIX MONTHS, and now half the WORLD is looking for work.
