Your Score: Mary Crawford

47% romance, 59% sauciness, 41% etiquette, 63% intelligence

Ah, Mary, Mary, quite contrary. You are saucy and intelligent, and while you ordinarily have enough social savvy to navigate the treacherous waters of high society, you do sometimes put your foot in it. But most alarmingly, you have no illusions about love. Your clear-eyed (detractors might call it heartless) nature means that sometimes, you say things that rub others the wrong way. But in the right crowd, your sparkling wit makes you an excellent conversationalist. You're opinionated and feisty, which attracts a lot of male attention. Alas, the walls you've erected around your heart mean that flirting rarely progresses to a deeper affection. Ideal matches: Henry Tilney, Colonel Brandon Guaranteed heartbreak (their hearts): Edmund Bertram, John Willoughby, Captain Benwick Not worthy of your affections: John Thorpe, Mr. Collins, Mr. Woodhouse

TWINS

Been a long time coming and I know the posts have been beyond far and few between but I've been just a bit under the weather. Approaching 2nd tri at end of this week - thank goodness. I've been home sick far more than I anticipated and I'm really looking forward to getting my energy and appetite back ... here are the latest pics.

Twin A (measuring 12 wks 1day) is facing upward with head to the right and Twin B (measuring 12 weeks) is upward with head to the left. These were done on 12/05 when we were 11wks and 5 days. They are looking great - we do not plan to learn the sex until birth and were quite surprised to find two hearts beating that first test.

UPDATED PICS

My baby girl, Sweden then and now...she just came in from outside...dirty girl!

Pins and Needles

Big day tomorrow - well one of two actually. I have, hopefully, something good coming our way very soon but it won't be confirmed til Wednesday for sure. It's been a very long road trying
to make things come together. I must say that so far we've done very well and have been extremely lucky on our endeavors. Hopefully it holds up for at least a bit longer.

October and the weather that comes with it has finally arrived. We've had the windows open all week and aired out the house which has been much needed since we are presently STILL with 7 dogs. (three pups). If I could I would keep them all 'cause I'm crazy like that. Hey, we have over an acre. There's plenty of room!!! But my better and more logical half, says no. We did have homes for them - even before they were born but alas two of those who were taking a little one home have had some life changes that altered those plans. I refuse to just give them to anybody.

We took them to the vet the other day and Sweden, the one we're keeping, is apparently not a special (as in short bus) puppy. Since she was born she was not like the others. Stared at walls and didn't play or intereact with the other pups. Her development has delayed compared to her siblings. Her teeth don't look right, they're barely peeking through gums. Her sisters are a bit bigger as well. Vet said she's normal, slower developer but normal. Yea, not buying that but thanks doc. Getting a second opinion in 3 weeks when I go in for the 2nd booster. Probably with all three of them in tow...they are wonderful and so make me happy. Can't even describe it.

Not only have I grown attached but I always have an overwhelming sense of obligation when it comes to animals. We rented out the old house but I still go by every couple of days to check on Cat and make sure her food and water is good. We can't take her home but we can keep tabs and health on her. There's a new cat lingering at the house - some mangy white and grey fluffy thing with bent ears and not friendly. Cat hisses at it when I stop by letting me know it's an unwanted visitor. Felt bad for it though so I gave it some food under the hedges away from Cat's area.
