beau dog got august to laugh so hard! (by licking her face & spinning in circles) it was the cutest thing in the whole wide world! too bad i didn't have the video camera out.

Here are some pictures & video of my broody Flake discovery.

AHA! There she is!



She looked so comfy!


I didn't realize she was sitting on eggs at first. I thought she might be hurt.
I poked her lightly to see if she would move, then I saw the eggs.



Holy eggs!



She was in no mood to have her stash of eggs collected.




I can't believe that many eggs fit under her! 15 total! (I'm pretty sure some are Ling Ling's.)

My little brother is out of the slammer.. YAY! He still has to go to freakin' trial on the 27th of January. Hopefully, the case will be dropped, though.

I just went through a huge stack of mail, & I paid a bunch of bills. I am SO horrible about paying bills that we get in the mail. Mainly just little medical bills that our insurance didn't cover. Writing checks and mailing stuff out is such a hassle! If they offer ways to pay online, they'd get paid right away. :] All the bills are paid for the month, and it is only the 3rd.. yes! This past month we have paid off all of our credit cards! We now only have a best buy credit card with a balance on it. It is a no interest for 18 months, so I'll take my sweet time paying it. Feels so good to be almost debt free!

Our computer has a virus on it. Such a bummer. I have to work off of our old laptop, since the new one doesn't have photoshop installed yet. It takes me FOREVER to edit. It is so so so slow. Please let Mark be able to fix it.

Oh, & I also made a blog. Feel free to add me if you're on blogger. helloaug.blogspot.com

So sad to think that my brother has to spend another two nights in jail. My heart breaks for him :(

I made a quiche for dinner last night. It was YUMMY!!!!

For those of you who are newer to my Flist, I have a cooking blog on here.
I'm not a great chef or anything, but I do a lot of "throwing stuff together" with some pretty yummy results.
My cooking blog is for sharing stuff I come up with, recipes others have given me, or recipes I've found and really liked.
I don't post to it often enough. I also welcome others to share recipes they like. (Although no one has.)

Please come check it out when you get a chance.

My little brother got pulled over for going 35 in a 25. He was arrested for having a deadly weapon in his truck. You know what that deadly weapon was? A mini baseball bat he bought at a Dodgers game.

What is this world coming to? Seriously?!

On facebook a small group of us have been posting something that we are thankful for on our status everyday. This is mine today.

This year I am thankful for all the people who sent me good vibes and said prayers for me while I was struggling with and then BEAT kidney failure!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my LJ friends!

We will most likely go to Jeff's grand parent's house tomorrow. We haven't seen them in a while, and they are not spring chickens.
It will be good to see all his family too. I am sure they will serve a traditional meal.

As far as us, we will probably have Jeff's parents down and have our own Turkey day meal next Sunday. I know mine will be pretty traditional with some low carb options. Next year I hope to raise our own thanksgiving turkey.

Yesterday Jeff and I had a day of watching movies and snuggling on the futon. It was nice. Ne needs the break sometimes.

Fluff P. Is missing again. I have a feeling she may have found some stashed eggs and is sitting on them somewhere. I hope they aren't duck eggs or she will be waiting a really long time for them to hatch... like forever. Cochins are kown for going broody.
Well if she shows up with chicks in a few weeks we'll know why.
