My friend JGoode does Tuesdays Topic mostly every week (to read hers) – I try to participate every week … she lives in Colorado and I live in Texas … that is just one of the things we do not have in common 
… I am a Grandma and she is a Mom so there is a bit of a generation gap in age between us and I guarantee you that she definitely has more energy than I do these days … LOL … she has three kids … one of which is just a year old baby … I have a 2 yr old dog … quite house trained thank you very much though 
Miss Sugar Plum is the pet to be appreciated at my house today … she has a bumper crop of fleas this summer already … one of the joys (NOT) of apartment living … a gazillion fleas waiting to jump on us if we breathe let alone go outside and walk … we all know the housing market is full of foreclosures right now … my lease here is up the end of August … Miss Sugar Plum is a bit too plump for her own good … she needs a yard of her very own again to run around off a leash and get some of that youthful energy an outlet that will slim her back down … and where I can easier control the flea population in the yard. I have a couple cans of Raid to spray the apt again … and Frontline Plus for Miss Sugar Plum … and perhaps a flea fogger this weekend … and the Vet is sending me Sentinel – I’ve been using Heartgard and it doesn’t stop flea reproduction.
Now you know where the TX Real Estate part of the title fits into the equation … I’ve made an offer on a house … the bank has not responded yet so I do not know yet if they will accept or reject the offer. It is a short sale property … reading online out here … some mortgage companies and banks are walking away and abandoning properties in some really financially depressed areas … how sad that those neighborhoods are going to be full of houses decaying and drawing criminals to the area for assorted criminal activities.
Tattoos … nope I do not have any tattoos … my daughter has one, my son-in-law has one … my daughter’s 2 rescued puppies have one each .. I am scared of needles … no tattoos for me so far anyway!
