this was my first diary. i was 7 years old. seems so cute and innocent, right? where a girl who could barely write would write about bunnies and rainbows.
but no, instead i filled it with the names of every kid in my class and graded their appearance, intelligence, and niceness. also added their phone numbers.
what a little witch i was! as much as i'd like to be an INFP, there's no denying i am an INFJ. i probably should have channeled this judginess into becoming a college admissions officer.
this is what happens when you make third graders do current events reports
pouncey is so pigeon toed that he is scissor pawed! never is this more apparent than when he is bounding through a meadow.
he also does a mean chow chow impression:
behold! the most nimble 9 and a half year old labrador retriever on the planet! able to transform himself into a rainbow to leap upon a rock! it's nachodoggy! and his sidekick pouncey tennisball mouth!
this isn't an entire "great list" like betsy does every friday, but here is my attempt at finishing this week on a positive note!
see that sticker behind smiling pouncey's face? it says "pushin the good vibe!"
pouncey is pretty good at that.
it's a line from an ALO song "country camper."
"country camper" can be streamed for free here. the whole show is on archive.org here.
you don't even have to listen to get the gist of this funny story.
"country camper"
it was obvious enough
that we weren't going anywhere too soon
side of the road
LA traffic friday afternoon
from where i was standin
it was worse than i'd feared
her front had disconnected
from her rear
freedom never came so easily
for my country camper
on the dodge chassis
i guess i had the fever
ever since i was a little man
a life so free of maintenance
you store it in the back of your van
she was a thing of beauty
1979
and i was feelin lucky
pushin the good vibes
and my heart was thumpin
as i drove her off
hit the freeway
destiny laughed and coughed
cause freedom never came so easily
when it costs more than you can afford to be free
sometimes the dream is better than the real
sometimes the dream is better than the real
thing
better than the country camper on the dodge chassis
well uncle sam bought her off us
for a thousand bucks and a lunch
sometimes you gotta cut your losses
while there's something left to be cut
freedom called us
and we did her dance
lost our shirts
and forgot our pants
sometimes the dream is better than the real thing
better than a country camper on a dodge chassis

here's an example of a country camper:
i hope everybody has a wonderful weekend and all good vibes are pushed to their limits!

i am sick. so so sick. haven't been so sick since elementary school. i've been to the doctor, gotten awful though helpful antibiotics, and all that's left now is to keep warm, drink tons of tea, and wait.
the morning frost crystallized the herb garden.
Thyme has a long history of use in natural medicine in connection with
chest and respiratory problems including coughs, bronchitis, and chest
congestion.
It's anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, kills staph infections, strep throat, e.coli and more. See also, basil.
herbs glorious herbs.
watching the 'nature' show on pbs last night called 'odd couples' about different species of animals being friends. basically it was different animals (cheetah, deer) that were friends with retrievers. retrievers are very friendly animals!
pouncey was EXTREMELY interested in this show. he went right up to the screen when the dog who could have been his twin was pouncing around. he sat 6 feet from the tv and watched intently until it ended. when they showed other animals (goose and tortoise) he was not interested. maybe his little pea brain works better than i give him credit for!
not one to be outdone by his budding artist cousins, pouncey took a pen and made his own drawing on his dog bed! i see similar theme and execution - definite family resemblance.
