I should be cleaning the kitchen

...which is completely trashed from a serious frosting frenzy (chocolate and peanut butter, to frost cupcakes that I did not take time to photograph) .....but instead I'm reading blogs and just goofing around.

Sherman is just about back to normal - we had a real scare with bloat that resulted in a trip to the emergency vet and a night in the hospital for Sherman. House felt so empty that night. *shudder* Luckily we caught it before his stomach twisted - they had to put a tube down his throat to let the gas out.... I'm just thankful I had read up on the symptoms just a few weeks prior! (why? I don't know. It just seemed like something I needed to know 'just in case, someday.' Weird that 'someday' was about 3 weeks later. Cue Twilight Zone theme.)
Doggies that bloat can die within hours, so when I say we were lucky to know the symptoms and even luckier to have access to an emergency vet hospital.... I don't even want to think of what would have happened otherwise.

Have lots of pictures (course 2 cake! Course 3 cake(s)! Little fun cake for no special reason!)
I need to get off my camera and on to the computer - and then backed up. I've learned my lesson. I DID find someone who was able to recover our pictures. Have I purchased an external hard drive yet? No. I swear, I'm going to. I just... don't have time these days to sleep, clean, or breathe... much less do things like set up my computer the way I want it, reconfigure my email (i finally got to that yesterday. feel much better now.)

Ok, it's now 11:05. Have to clean the kitchen. I was going to go to bed early tonight. *sigh* Oh, well.
