The Miami Dolphins and my kid make me smile

First, the Dolphins. HOLYS*&#!!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!

Yes, I'm excited. We went from 1-15 last year to 11-5 and winners of the AFC East. How does THAT happen?? (Jason Taylor, I bet you're sorry you left now. The Redskins are NOT in the playoffs). And it didn't hurt that they beat the Jets to get there. Well, it hurts DH, but not me. I was good and didn't gloat. Much. And I was sorry seeing Favre so banged up and defeated looking, but I think he behaved badly. He played hurt and I think his actions were selfish and didn't help his team.

We have to play the Ravens first, and they're tough. I am staying positive, but it's a long, hard road to Tampa. We'll see, I guess.

Now, on to my kid.

I mean, how can you look at that face and not?

Clearly, he's in love with his new basketball set, courtesy of Uncle K and Aunt A. He loves to pull the net down, so he obviously has his mother's hoops skills, or lack thereof.



He also loves his dashboard. And his daddy. Daddy says he uses his horn a lot - again, just like his mommy. :)



In other news, the pugs went to the vet today. They needed to have baths and their glands expressed (joy! But we found out the hard way that it's quite critical to get it done on a regular basis) and their shots. Well, I went to pick them up and along with the invoice, I was presented with a chart of Bentley's weight gain, by visit. Apparently, Fatty McFatterson has gained 7lbs in the last year. Um. Yeah. He was extremely malnourished when we got him, so I'm going to say that 3-4 of the pounds were good and healthy. And all I can say is that is metabolism must have slowed some. We're cutting his food back and will be playing more games out back with him to get him into shape.

And finally, I just have to show off these adorable pug salt & pepper shakers from Aunt L. They were supposed to be in my Christmas box, but came a little late. I love them all the same.
