DQOTD (D quote of the day): As we were driving by a group of people D says, "Whoa! There's a midget...or is it a dwarf? I always forget which is which...midgets are the ones that look like humans right?"

Death-defying bets: What we bet on is not as important as how high the stakes were. Had D lost, he would have had to spend 2 hours in walmart on Dec. 24th. I, on the other hand, only have to make dinner tonight.

Current reasons why our dogs are assholes:
1. While we were out it rained and thundered....apparently this was cause to go spastic, break the baby gate that keeps them from upstairs, and wreak havoc in our bedroom. Thankfully I did laundry yesterday or I'd be out a week's worth of knickers.
2. Ollie somehow managed to launch himself at our kitchen sink in such a way that he was able to tear the plastic wrapper off the turkey we were thawing for our Christmas dinner and eat chunks out of it.

A wine discovery: Pinot Grigio is nice! My "no white wine is a good white wine" rule is suddenly turned on its ear.
