He needs to have all of his remaining teeth pulled, 9 in total because he is allergic to them.
After he had a dental cleaning and 5 teeth removed in May of this year, he needs even more teeth pulled now. He can't eat because it hurts too much. It hurts so much that he runs away from his food dish hissingSabrina Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12685471821103246386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261454466235351647.post-74002713267194509712012-01-19T13:39:00.000-08:002012-01-19T13:39:14.067-08:00Couponing 101 or How to Cut Your Grocery Bill in HalfHi! My name is Sabrina and I'm a coupon addict.
Well, not quite that bad unless you talk to my husband and then he might agree with you that yes, in fact, it is that bad. Hey, I only have a small stockpile of cereal, toothpaste and dog treats nothing like an entire room dedicated to my binge bargaining.

Enjoy!
Oh, Christmas tree!
And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
A small collection of our Christmas cards. The rest are on the fridge. Some day I will make the clothespins look a little nicer. Someday.

I got a few phone calls from work (ugh) and painting the master bedroom ceiling was an absolute disaster. First, I just couldn't get any coverage. I'd glob the paint onto the roller and it would disappear with barely covering an inch (just a minor exaggeration). Then, I broke my extended roller Sabrina Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12685471821103246386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261454466235351647.post-21641929033030100862011-12-19T15:30:00.000-08:002011-12-19T15:30:11.375-08:00Day #3 of My Do-Nothing VacationWas spent fixing these shelves in our hallway:
Pretty terrible, right? I guess I can't expect much from them since they were $15 from Wal-Mart and they were never sturdy from the time I took them out of the box. I've always tried avoiding them when I walk past them to the bedroom, but I just couldn't do it anymore so I found a way to fix them.
And now the bookcase looks like this:

Today we took Luna to Corgi Fun Day at McCollum Park which is only a short drive from our home. It was a beautiful day to mingle with some fellow corgi owners and lovers and we got to see a lot of old friends that we've made through the Meetup group.

OK, so it didn't really "explode", but something crazy happened to it and the glass door shattered into a million pieces.
It was a Sunday night and I was getting ready to start another work week (ugh) when all of a sudden we heard the sound of glass breaking coming from the kitchen.
