My girl

So my girl will be 14 on May 21st, she is starting to fade a bit, it's scary. She has been a part of my life almost as long as my son has and he's just 20.

She still makes the "puppy face" when you say cookie, still nips at Archie ('cause that dog needs a helmet) and still knows that putting on her "jewelery" means we are going for a r-i-d-e.

Anyone who knows me, knows that my dog is the shiznit and she is worth every minute...so I thought I'd give my best girl Maggie-Jo a shout out here on the Petal.

Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind?

Finally, doctors are developing a pill that can help erase bad memories. Yes! Take two and forget to call me in the morning.
The method, using existing blood pressure pills, could be useful for weakening or erasing bad memories in people with post-traumatic stress disorder, the researchers say.
Some ethicists see problems, question whether such treatments begin to alter what it means to be human.
There's apparently a natural way to rid yourself of bad memories, too. A 2007 study involving brain scans found that test subjects had the ability to suppress specific memories at a particular moment in time through repeated practice.
First of all, is ethicist a paying position? I may want to apply. Secondly, there's an even more natural way of erasing memories -- it's called binge drinking. Unfortunately, I don't do that anymore. So, let's get down to the brass tacks: how many pills do I need to erase twenty years?

Pretty is as pretty does

Well, I do believe this statement but I also believe that quite often I don't meet the criteria. I am a florist by trade so I specialize in giving other people "pretty".

I promise it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

And, yes...I did make the pretties above, for Drea.
