attack of the wild chihuahua

nuggie and i went for a walk this afternoon - it's just too pretty of a day to stay inside! while we were out walking there is a house we passed that has like 3 or 4 chihuahuas and 2 big fat english bulldogs. we pass this house often and the pack of doggies will run up and down their fence and bark their faces off trying to get us. TODAY though, one of those crazed chihuahuas broke free and tried to attack. YES - attack. i wasn't scared really - i could punt the dog if i had to (not that i'd want to!) but the little beast was persistent and followed, nipping at my heals, for quite some time. nuggie's eyes just got huge as saucers hearing this little nippy pup carry on...

i'll get you my pretty and your little nuggie too!

we learned - sorta - how to take blood pressure in lab today. we didn't have the very best instruments, but we got the basic concept. thanks to a wonderfully generous friend i have a blood pressure cuff of my own - AKA - sphygmomanometer... say that three times fast - ugh, try saying it all!

what the frap is the deal with charlie sheen??? i mean for real. "i'm on a drug, and it's... charlie sheen" - really? REALLY? why do celebrities get to carry on like this? if i acted like this fool you can be sure it wouldn't last long - i know i'd be confronted by many a caring people who thankfully would knock some sense into my head. also - why is this news? WHY? no joke the news on good morning america today consisted of charlie sheen, the new cast of dancing with the stars (is that show STILL on??), christina aguilera being arrested for public intoxication and then, oh yeah, there's some boring blah blah blah going on in libya... um hello?!? wouldn't libya be the top news in your mind? i thought it would be... sorry to rant. it just makes me a little fearful of nuggie's future. let's all hope this celebrity obsession is just a phase and the news will get back to reporting news in the near future.

on a lighter note...
it's wednesday - woot - modern family night!
