Dare to Walk

So yesterday kiir wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed home so she could rest and I’d watch des. Around lunch, K kept barking and wanting to go out. I’d take him out, he’d wander around for five minutes, usually with Des inside screaming about abandonment issues. Then he’d look at me like i was a [...]

Little Red Robbing Hood

Des has been grabbing hair again of late. So last night, kiir pulled one of the scarves over her head. then i suggested she tie it, so she could use her hands again. So, she’s sitting there with this red scarf folded (triangled) and then bonneted on her head … and … attriel: you look [...]

Weight Loss: Wii Fitness

So, last weekend I clocked in at 221.6 … still … after over a year … two? Obviuosly I SUCK at dieting (note: i am also, apparently, infinitely hungry, of late, which doesn’t help that’s for sure). I also suck at exercise (because lets face it, after 10 hours out of the house, min, for [...]
