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.)

I Am Thankful


 I am thankful for Family and Friends who see my flaws and love me anyway.

I am thankful for a fulfilling job that allows me to make a difference in the lives of men and women who have fought for the freedom I enjoy.

I am thankful for all of my needs (e.g
home, food, clothing, SUV, etc) and many of my wants being filled.

I am thankful for FurKids and their unconditional love which reminds me of Gods TRUELY unconditional love.

I am thankful for God sending His Son as the blood sacrifice for my sins, and His free gift of salvation to all who will believe and receive it.

I am struggling with this one, but because I am to be thankful in ALL things, I am trusting God as I am thankful for ALL leaders and those in authority over me--because I KNOW that GOD is in control, and He can use ANYONE to accomplish His goals and bring glory to Himself--even if they don't recognize it or even WANT to be used of God. 

I am thankful.

The Plan Almost Became Reality.

The Plan:
Clean out the backseat of the SUV.
Drop TheGirls off for grooming.
Run a few errands:
      Breakfast.
      Run the SUV through the Car Wash.
      Bank run. 
Go home and change into game day clothes. 
Pick up TheFreshlyGroomedGirls.
Drop TheGirls off at the house. 
Arrive at The Game around Half Time. 

The Reality:
Clean out the backseat of the SUV.
Drop TheGirls off for grooming.
Run a few errands:
      Breakfast.
      Run the SUV through the Car Wash.
      Bank run. 
Go home and change into game day clothes. 

Doing good so far. 

Pick up TheFreshlyGroomedGirls.

OopsJinxed myself.  

ThevGroomer took a little longer than anticipated. Third quarter came and went, and TheGirls were not ready. In the Groomers defense,  when I let TheGirls outside this  morning they played in the dewy sand.  

Translation: TheGirls were a hot, muddy, mess and they resembled unkempt mutts. 

The Groomer was a miracle worker and my hot mutt messes now look like the retired AKC Champion Chinese Cresteds that they are. 

This miracle deserved photographic documentation. So off to Linda's house we went for a puptacular glamor shoot. Linda is my friend who is always up for a photo shoot. We has a slight delay as we hit post-gane traffic--however, in Belton that means sitting through two, maybe three,  stop light cycles.  

Delayed and Unrealized Goals:
Drop TheGirls off at the house. 
Arrive at The Game around Half Time. 

Additional Goals Added:
Puptacular GlamorShoot



Then we came home and Lou's Zoo (including Lou and Moggy) promptly fell asleep on the sofa. 

BTW, in case you wondered: 
                           59-14 
                        #GoCru!

As for the Sofa Snoozing, I don't think TheZoo and I can handle the time change this  Sunday. But, sleeping in an hour still sounds good--even after our nap. None of us are Spring Chicks any longer. 

Tonight's Plan:
Turn the clicks back an hour. 

The Reality:
We shall see--or in this case, we shall hear.
