The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

  • Artistic Attempts weekly (alternating between Painting With A Twist, That Art Place, and Peniot's Palette).
  • Bunko with the Belton Bunko Babes monthly.
  • Participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge.
  • Spades and Liverpool Rummy with the Spadetts weekly.
  • The Mighty Texas Dog Walk, Austin (fund raiser for Service Dogs, Inc--they train shelter dogs to be Service Dogs, then give them free of charge to people with disabilities.)

Book Sales Are My Kryptonite

I drove to Waco after work today, and realized HalfPrice Books Outlet was just a couple blocks away from one of my Credit Unions. Before going inside I limited myself to $20.

By limited, I mean I only took that much inside the store. (I seem to always spend at least twice as much as I "limit" myself to.)

The Clerk said I was good this time--I only spent $36. (I may have left all but $20 of my cash in the SUV...but then I remembered I paid off my credit card balances this morning, and they  were BEGGING me to use them!)

Because I was "good," I could have kept the two books I ultimately put back on the shelf--and still would not have doubled todays self-impossed "limit."

When I unpacked my book haul tonight, I found the 20% off advertisement for later this month...I may have to brave the I-35 traffic again so I can adopt a few more babies that day. (Actually, the drive was not bad even though it was Friday after work--but I didn't "love" it like the billboards have been promising.)

In addition to the two books I put back, I found a couple more cozy series I haven't read yet.

Yeppers, another after work book run may be in store for this girl. I can hear the books calling my name.

My kryptonite is a book sale.
