Fuzzy Christmas Socks

Well, she is fuzzy, it was Christmas morning, and her name is Socks.  ;)

Christmas at Mama’s.  Socks got a new squeaky toy for Christmas. She loves, loves, loves her squeaky toys!  Although, the squeaker doesn’t last for very long.  Just like my dogs, they all surgically perform squeakerotomies.  We do so enjoy listening to them play with their squeaky toys.  Sweet babes!  All the furbabes got fun little Christmas treasures, as always.  And they were happy, playful children.

And yes, she knows just how adorable she is. Spoiled rotten, that child.

Portrait of a Girl and Her Dog

One of her dogs, Buddy. We rescued him when he was 8 weeks old. And he rescued us right back.

Swappin’ Sugars

In case ya didn’t know, in the South, we call a kiss = sugar.
(Hallie says, I’m so friggin’ pale!)

Hope y’all have an unbelievably great day today. Monday is over, so the rest of the week will be coasting. Smooth sailin’.

Sorry I’ve not spent a lot of time chattin’ it up, nor sayin’ too much on my daily blog. Been doin’ a bit of creative writin’ ever since I picked it up again. Thank you, NaNoWriMo, for giving me the boost and motivation I needed. Just want everyone to know I miss ya and, most likely, once January arrives, I will probably start posting maybe once or twice a week, instead of daily. This way, I’ll have more time for visiting with y’all on certain mornings, and can also focus on my writing. So, just so ya know, I haven’t forgotten ya. C’mon over here and let me give ya some sugar! *smoooooch*

I cannot believe that I have been consistently posting every single day since December 2011. There may be hope for me, after all.

I actually tried to insert a photo of Buddy givin’ Hallie a smooch in return, but my computer started freakin’ out, so I’m posting this one at work, and will insert that photo once I return home this evening.

Y’all have a great day, now, ya hear?

Chillin’ Lill’

A little dark. We were all chillin’ in front of the tv for about 30 minutes, so it was kind o’ dark.

Via my somewhat smartphone…

Love, Hugs and a Smooch

Stalking Carlie

At least this is, I’m sure, how Carlie felt after Hallie let Lilly’s leash go. I’m positive she’s happy to be feline, since she detests doggies, and she can quickly climb to escape them. She’s very prissy and princess-like. She thinks she deserves to be spoiled and spoon-fed, and I suppose she is. Well, she’s spoiled, anyway…

Itty Bitty Dumbo and a Child’s Laughter

Day 329 of my Project 366. Woooohoooooo!

A Smile to Get You Through

Sometimes a smile makes all the difference, especially when some of them are silly smiles.  At times, I take life a little too seriously, and all I need is a funny, carefree picture to adjust my focus, lighten up, and just try to have fun.  I think I need to print out about ten of the silliest, funniest photos, pin and tape them all over my office (home and work), and perhaps that will keep me smilin’.  The ones that make me giggle are the best!  Laughter truly is the best medicine.

What makes you smile?  And does a smile help to ease your stress and depression overload a little?

That’s My Buddy

He is as silly and sweet as they come. He loves to lay on his back, scratch it in the grass, be silly, wrestle, have his picture taken, and as you can see, he truly loves to ham it up. He is a big squishy teddy bear!  Hallie and I belly laugh at him daily.

It’s National Blog Posting Month. It may be too late for you to jump into the soup, as I believe November 5 was the deadline to join, but you can still go to the blogroll http://www.blogher.com/nablopomo-november-2012-blogroll and check out the blogs that have joined just to see what they are up to. Check them out. Offer your encouragement. Some are not used to posting daily and it can be a real chore sometimes. Just a kind word can make all the difference.

So, here’s to writing, and to all you writers out there that like a hearty challenge. Join us any day (I think you can join any day during November.) during November at http://www.nanowrimo.org/, but remember, you only have until Nov. 30 to submit 50,000 words, so get crackin’.

Silly Funny Faced Babies

We were walking and running and wrestling and kissing with Buddy today and got tons of great funny photos. Here’s one with Hallie and Buddy making funny faces at each other. They are two peas in a pod. We love all our furbabes, but I’m tellin’ you, this boy is straight from heaven. He is quite the gentleman. And a silly one, at that. I’ll have to show you one of him being silly, maybe tomorrow.

We had an awesome day. Hope you did, too! Hope ya have an even better Sunday. I’ll be getting up waaaaaay early to work on my NaNoWriMo. I’m a little behind on my word count. But I’ll catch up. Love ya! *squish!*

You force yourself. You push yourself. There is a very large community of crazy Wrimos out there and all of us probably need a good swift kick in the pants to keep up with writing. I, personally, put writing aside for many months, due to a block, due to fear, self-doubt, what have you. But, I’m taking this month to jump back in and get back to one of my top 5 things that I absolutely love and have missed like an old dear friend that just moved back into town. I want to get to know my friend again, to spend time with her and have a good time. As with all friends, there are ups and downs, but you keep on keeping on, try to get past the downs so you can get back to the ups. So, here’s to writing, and to all you writers out there that like a hearty challenge. So join us any day (I think you can join any day during November. I didn’t join till Nov 3 or 4.) during November at http://www.nanowrimo.org/, but remember, you only have until Nov. 30 to submit 50,000 words, so get crackin’.
