Facing things head on, is a good title.  I was thinking the same thing. LOL All good minds think alike.

That is what I have to do lately because every thing I'm dealing with is in my face.

How old is your new boy?

Thats my Marty, he kisses me and snuggles as I wipe his front paws, my face, neck, then I'm soaked, hahaha.  

Lacey licks my arms, she likes apendages. LOL

Dogs are great!!  Have you seen my pups on my home page?  My memory bites.

Glad you had a great time with Mom.  The Zoo was a wonderful place to go with her.  So happy for you.

Major rain came through here yesterday!! Big time. Today, everything is so clean and refreshed, a little beaten up but none worse for the wear.  My elephant ear is huge and very happy!  They really stand up to anything.  I mean this storm had pretty strong winds.

Wedding is getting closer, shower is next weekend.  I'm feeling stressed inside, and trying different things to get out of that feeling. My video games help :-)
I think getting to the shower early and greeting each guest as they come in, all the former in-laws and old aquaintences head on is my best approach. Its been 25 years. Walking into a room with some of them already there does not feel comfortable to me.  

Thats how this thread helps me.  I just thought of that now. Its as if you are here, and a good listener, LOL

Wow, Hanna came through today!  Phew!  I was not going out in that.  We ran errands in the morning and then Bam. It was nice to stay in and watch a movie in the afternoon on a Saturday.  My husband always keeps busy busy, today he chilled out, it was nice.

We have a pair of we dogs though. They are so good, they come in when they are done outside and sit and put their paws up for us to wipe their feet.  Thats what I say to them when they come in  "Wipe your feet" and they do!

So I bought the Edy's bars.  I bought the one's with the creamy center.  Raspberry, lime and orange with vanilla center.  Oh, yea, they are good.  Low in calories, carbs and fat too!

Hope your Labor day was good!

I chilled out, the crowds down here are insane on holiday weekends.  Now we can go on the beach with the pups, Yay!

Oh girls, i forgot the best part i did it all with the top down!!  woohoo
Ibi, my pants are getting tight.  Not drinking so i am eating more, snacking often.
Got to get some exercise, which is also good for the soul and body.
Headed out in an hour for nails and then to Eugene, an hour away with a friend to get our hair colored and do a little shopping.  It is gorgeous today and our days are numbered as far as weather goes up here in the northwest.  Actually Sept aned Oct are my favorite months here.  Pretty dry and beautiful.  Then when Nov. comes the wet stuff does too.  You have a great day, all ya girls!  TJ

Hon, i have had some good laughs lately and i have to tell you It is good for the SOUL!!
Lunch was good.   I did not drink.  My three friends each had a cadillac margarita.  I had ice tea and really was fine.  The waiter (our usual) looked at me and said cadillac margarita?  I said, no you never would dance with me so I have switched to ice tea. ha
My friend said GOOD ONE!!  We sat outside and were the only ones out there enjoying this glorious warm weather.   I cannot believe how together i was.  I was multi tasking up there. ha ha  Handing out the presents for the two birthday girls and using two different cameras getting it all on film.  I actually amazed myself.  And I had fun!!!  
So, i am really jazzed!   Hang tough girls.  We can do it!  Hugs, Tonya

okay, chuckle, LOL and all that good stuff.   Very funny, picturing myself with no top driving around time.   I do believe y'all would have seen me on the nightly news!!  It would not have been a pretty site!
Going to a birthday lunch today for a couple of my friends.  I introduced them 3 years ago and they were both born the same day and same year.  We always do a lunch at the mexican restaurant and sit outside.  The only difference this year >I will be taking the pictures and not having that margarita!!  And the best part is, i don't think it will bother me.   Oh and by the way i will be running around with the top down again.
Y'all are the best.   Have a great one.  Tonya
