All's quiet on the western front....

Well maybe the opposite really - have been flat out with nothing exciting - not exactly thrilling reading!!! So decided not to bore you all along the way!!

However throughout the days of busy boredom... there have been a few little jammy moments - and this email was the highlight of a VERY long day (Thanks Luke!!) Have to share it with you all ....

The following letter was sent to a long time patron of a local Wal-MartStore. After receiving this letter, she vowed that she would NEVER takeher husband shopping with her again!! !

If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers...



Tinker!! (NO.... don't panic - it's only another foster dog... I promise not to get any more pets (at least for a little while!!))


As you can see - Tinker likes to sit at/on your feet... This makes taking her pic quite a challenge!!


She's the skinniest little thing we've ever had!! But too cute... she just loves everyone and everything!!


She goes up on the paws website today, so hopefully it won't be too long before she finds a new home!!


Not much in other news... have my last (again - hopefully!!) focus sessions on Saturday... although as usual I don't feel all that "focused" !!


Never mind I just keep crossing those fingers and toes (although studying may actually prove more beneficial!?!?!?) and hoping that the nightmare known as CA is nearly over!!
I've added some links on the side to other blogs.. I still have a few more to add, but some are saved in my work favourites and some are saved at home, so keep an eye out for addittions!!
