Thought for you this fine Friday. I have never seen this one, so I guess I've been living in a cave. I won't give you the answer. You have to figure it out for yourself - I had to! Here goes...

"What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, you'll die?"

In my short life so far, I have already learned to appreciate the complexities of friendship. The joys we feel from friendship are awesome, the sadness from losing a friend or hurting one, excruciating. I have been estranged from one of my best friends by circumstances beyond my control. Many many nights I have stayed up, trying to figure out how to be a "good" friend to her. Now, the individual who has caused her so much pain and put our friendship in such lengthy jeopardy has exited her life. I feel like I've just been given an incredible Christmas present, flawed and in need of major assembly, but with known phenomenal promise. Thank God she's been given this opportunity, and that I have been given this opportunity too! If you know Michelle, from my talking about her or personally, please keep her in your thoughts. She has a long road ahead of her, but at least there's finally one to take!

This is neat. I found it on Dawn's site. Do it yourself.

If I were a work of art, I would be Claude Monet's Waterlilies. I am soft and gentle, but very colourful. Although based in reality, I look at the world through a filter of impressions which shape how I see things. Splashes of light help to define my presence and bring an endearing quality.

Puppies are amusing. Monty was a good boy until we brought little Princess into the picture. He's still a very dignified dog, but when you're not looking and they're nosing around together, they get into trouble. I heard weird noises this morning, and came out to find much of the kitchen trash chewed on and strewn around the kitchen and living room. Ugh. They're both starting to get a little attitude too, which is amusing and irritating at the same time. Ah, the joys of doggie parenthood.

Just when you think your day can't get any worse... I'm losing my mind here! Did I wear my bullseye "Hit me here!" shirt today?!?

Ahhhhh, it's raining! So beautiful this morning. Just what my soul needed.

The puppy scared us yesterday. Scared Joe, really, as I was at work. It appears she broke her top right canine tooth (the huge pointy one), almost clean off. The vet nurses (who created a scene when they ooohed and aaahed over her) said that puppy teeth don't have any nerves, so it doesn't hurt her. And since they'll fall out in a couple of months anyway, not to worry about it unless it gets infected. Apparently puppy teeth are very brittle, and this does happen. Still makes me sad. My little baby keeps trying to bite me, and has to shift her mouth around to get me with the good teeth. I'm just glad it doesn't hurt her. She keeps gnawing on the phone book with that tooth, so it can't be that bad.

Neat stuff. I learned today that in Arizona (and possibly other states?!), you can get a direct tax credit for donations made to a school, up to $200. That comes right off of your tax liability, or added to your refund. My mother is the state coordinator for National History Day and she's trying to get people to know about this credit. See if your state has it, find a worthy school and club, and do a favor for yourself as well as your community!

Ahhhh, rainy days and Mondays always get me down... It's not raining yet (tonight it will), but it is Monday. My weekend was lovely. The house is very decorated, happy hour was quite interesting, the Fiesta of Lights parade in downtown Phoenix was really fun and I finally got to see Harry Potter! Mom and Joe and I went and we all loved it, amazingly enough! Today sucks though. Every day can't be fun, right?
