but it has its benefits, this muzzle. she hates it... whenever she is up and running around, she starts to pull at it with her paws and rub against the ground with it. but when she relaxes, she seems to forget it's there...
they all got baths today, and afterwards they all got to laze around in the sun together. it was really a sweet picture. and tonight, i don't have to choose who's sleeping in bed with us based on the fact maggie can't be around anyone else. this is good.
not much going on here... getting back into my routine after spring break. i was actually sick over the weekend and the beginning of this week. i stayed home from school on monday. by tuesday, after umm... 10 days of no real obligations, i was so confused. the pool guy rang the doorbell and i was all annoyed (it was early; i was still in my pajamas). "why is he here TODAY? he's supposed to come on TUESDAYS." i was thinking it was thursday. on tuesday. yeah, when you don't know WHAT DAY IT IS, it's time to get back into the swing of things.
ok, time to go uhh.. go to bed, i guess. no class until 2 p.m. tomorrow (early class is canceled, woo hoo). this life is, well, really weird sometimes.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
