Pet Hair Solution!

I just discovered the most amazing product. It's called the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair. It is fantastic. I have two long haired cats and a long haired dog (not to mention my long hair!) so I had resigned myself to furry furniture. But this thing works! I used it on my couch, rocking chair and Bed skirt so far. I'm so excited I want to use it on everything! I am totally using it on the carpet in the car. I am picturing using it on my wool winter coat. It works wonders! The packages says to throw it out when it gets full (which was one couch for me) but I popped one of the rollers out and emptied it. It popped right back in and works fine. No more pet hair on my guests' pants (unless the dog decides to rub up against them).

Feeling Blessed

"When you're worried and you can't sleep

Just count your blessings instead of sheep

And you'll fall asleep

Counting your blessings"

White Christmas

Here's a list of just a few of my blessings:

- My high-maintenance pets: Caterpillar and Gimpy (the cats who both had to visit the vet this week because of war wounds) and Casey (my fur-ball dog who loves to chew tanktop and bra straps)

- My job (finally a permanent position working with little kids, even if it's a lot of work)

-My marriage (we may not be conventional, but it works for us... it's been 11 years together this month)

-My house (the little brick house we found in this little small town)

- My Wacko family (they are crazy, but I love them)

- My talents (arts, poetry, music, laughter)
