Things that make me sad
Every month the Boogie Dog's strength and balance become a bit more precarious, and he falls and stumbles more often. He'll be 11 in November, and Giant Schnauzers typically live between 10 and 12 years. It seems obvious that the end may be approaching, in spite of my intense desire to the contrary.
There are large numbers of people in this country who think that individuals like Rick Santorum perfectly personify their values. Since Rick Santorum personifies homophobia, anti-feminism, racism and the dissolution of the establishment clause, I wonder what happened to us.
Things that make me angry
During one of my walks up and down the steep paths of Rocky Mountain National Park this weekend I managed to strain my left quad. I didn't think it was that bad, so on Monday I did the lunges that were included in my scheduled workout. And now I'm hobbling around like Tim Conway as the little old man in The Carol Burnett Show. Stupid quad.
After spending hours on Monday trying to get my work laptop to run the custom-developed application I need to do my job, on Tuesday our IT department did another push and everything MAGICALLY GOT BETTER. But it's not IT's fault I lost several productive hours, oh, no!
Things that make me furiously happy
My friends.They're far cheaper than a therapist, plus they cook.
This quote from a recent Fresh Air interview with William Shatner. "Life
doesn't have to end with death if love is present." Just so. I love you, Aunt
Deb, and I know you loved me.

I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

There is something therapeutic about tasty food with friends. :)
I'll belch to that.
