Shaggy D-A

 
 
 
 
Growing up, my Dad always used the phrase "Shaggy D-A" to refer to our unkept hair. The phrase seems fitting for this post. Our poor dog has been deprived, probably both of attention and hygeine. He hadn't gotten a haircut since September. It seemed kind of cruel shaving off his warm coat in the chill of winter, so we kept putting it off. It finally got to the point of necessity. Harvest was shedding hair all over our rugs, so it was time. Today was his day of pampering. We tried a new grooming place, which ended up to be the greatest deal yet. Typically we pay around $80 for each cut, simply because he gets a special bath, and the upgraded package. Today he got the same treatment for only $35! She usually charges $45, but because this was his first time, she gave us $10 off. It was awesome. We are certainly going back and we won't wait until the point of no return again. Isn't he handsome?

Yes, Shaggy D-A is very fitting--that is what I thought of when I saw him! Here is my lesson for the day---I before E except after C. In case you are wondering why I chose to share that---hygiene. Anyway, talk to you later!
Love ya,
Jessica

You are a shmuck. As you probably or at least should have learned by now, I rarely take the time to proof-read these entries. I am lucky if I get the pictures posted in a timely manner, so here's to you, oh funny one---HYGEINE, HYGEINE, HYGEINE, HYGEINE. I bet that drove you crazy!!!

My god....he was shaggy! The pictures make it hard to tell, but does he have any hair left? Hunter got his second hair cut, we just trimmed his snout and around his eyes. WE are going to allow his tail and body to grow a bit, not as long as Harvests though. The one thing I can't stand is the gunk around Hunter's eyes. When we had Harvest I noticed he had it a little but Hunter's is terrible!

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
