Look at this mess. A millionare and she can't even bring herself to wear shoes in public....
... or a bra...
But hey... 3 or 4 days of no sleep hopped up on Red Bull...
Driving around aimlessly and roadside screaming matches at 5am, fun.
... a girls' 'bound to snap.... AGAIN. And she did.

Oooh! My ears are cold...
...Because of this ICE... NICE! I was given the most beautiful gift I've ever gotten, and I can just feel the love on my earlobes. I am far too spoiled. I love my fiance.
In other news, we have been rolling in the dog dough with all the dog sitting we've been doing this winter. Business is much better than last year, and thats a good and sometimes bad thing. Jenny is working herself silly, so she is going to take a little weekend jaunt to D.C. to visit a friend and former client who just relocated there. In the meantime, I will be staying home with the 'kids' like a good little wife.
Tax season is upon us, and I always get a good return! Looks like my individual will be in the $1,600 range, and with our Hybrid tax credit of $1,575 all that cash will go to good use for the wedding.... which is rapidly approaching and around the corner. We've got 4 months. 4 MONTHS!!! OMG. I'm super excited, and can't wait.
I rented a workout video from Netflix to see if I could get the vibes going again to get back to the gym. I need to get back on this horse.
And a few final tidbits... we bought an old station wagon to be our dog car, so no more dirty Prius! And I bought our second set of Ani DiFranco tickets for her tour in April. We'll be driving to Chico and staying with my dad's parents, and then a week or two later, she is comig to Seattle. Yay! It wouldn't be a good year, unless we got a little Ani.
I hope all are well, and recovering nicely from the holidays.

Britney's Big Breakdown
Oh my God, it finally happened.
Britney Spears held her kids hostage on Thursday night. Cops had to be called to her home after she refused to turn over custody of her children to Kevin Federline's bodyguard, as she was required to do. Sean Preston and Jayden James are now in the safe and better hands of their father and Britney was rushed to the emergency room for psychiatric evaluation and because police observed her to be under the influence of some unknown substance. (PerezHilton.com)
For continuing coverage of this trainwreck...
And if you're in the mood for some videos....
A great photo montage...
