causes rats in laboratory cancer: Mojo is going to the vet today...

Mojo is going to the vet today...

He is going to have another blood test for Valley Fever, and I hope it has finally gotten better. He has been taking the anti-fungals almost since we got him -- which has been 2.5 years? We got him Valentine's Day, 2005...so coming up on three years.

After the vet, I will have to get Tess, drop her off, and then go back to the school with Zachary...The US map is really starting to take shape. The colors look great. Today I guess Zach wants to make sure the paint is holding up and paint a couple more states.

The first picture is what the map looked like before we started. Then in the next one, you can see how slow it was to use the power washer to blast the paint off.

In the next photo, David, Zach, Kenny, and Brianna (L to R) are painting, and the last shows our progress so far.

I think it will just take a few more sessions. I hope it will just take a few more sessions. The eastern half of the map doesn't have the old outlines of the states, so it will be a little more work to do those...they have to figure out how to draw the outlines on the concrete, and make sure they are more or less accurate-ish

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
