Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been eating chocolate since I woke up. But that’s just usual for me anyway.
Today is both our dog’s birthdays because we say so. That’s right, because we say so. Since they are both rescues, we don’t know their actual birth dates so we had to make one up.
The first time I took Stella in to the vet for her adoption check up, it was Valentine’s Day and so the Vet office put in her birthday on file as THAT day and I just decided to go with it. Then when we adopted Pixie – we made her birthday Valentine’s Day too. Why not? Makes it easy to remember!
Valentine’s Day must also be Vet Day too. At least in this house. Today I had to take Pixie in to cut her dew (thumb) nail and bandage her up because she snagged it on something over the weekend. What she snagged it on, we don’t know.
Joe took Pixie and Stella out for a nighttime pee and then tucked them into bed. (Yes, ok we tuck our dogs into bed. So?) And afterwards Joe noticed some drops of blood on the floor. And that’s how we discovered she’d snagged it.
She’s all fine. Taking antibiotics just to be sure she doesn’t get an infection. And wearing a little heart bandage. Awe, Pixie. You’re a heartbreaker.
Max’s first play time with an older woman! She’s a whole 1 year old and Max is only 9 months.
Why is 51% of the population female yet women hold less than 3% of all CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know I’d like to see more women hold CEO positions. And my friend Shelli has created a great program for making that come true.
StartUpGirl is a FREE event for girls ages 11-17. They get to learn from some amazing women mentors and have the opportunity to pitch their very own business idea. Three girls will be chosen to receive $3,000 – $5,000 and an online storefront to start their business! No, they don’t win a CEO position, but participating in this may be just what jump starts their career in that direction.
The event is soon – so don’t miss out – for more details visit: www.StartUpGirlEvents.com
Imagine listening to the State of the Union address with his voice. Imagine that steely look on campaign ads and while he shaking hands with other world leaders.
The best part of the superbowl for me was Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler ad. I mean, who would you want to represent YOU? Clint would be at the top of my list.
Of course there’s controversy over what the “hidden political message” might be and the possible NFL copyright claim over the use of the use of the word “halftime”.
Let’s just focus on the fact that it’s a great ad for Chrysler. Can we please, for once, people?
Oops! Baby #2 is on her way. Can you believe it? Yes, Max was just born in April. I know, I KNOW! Irish twins, as they say. Only 13 months apart. Due in May.
No, we did not plan this. And yes, I did say HER. It’s a girl!
I’d have told you sooner, but I have good reasons for holding back the information. One of which is: BECAUSE I’M STILL IN DENIAL!
Is this really happening?
It’s going to be a little crazy around here very soon. But a good kind of crazy.
