The Weekend Daily Dog: All better now.
Sunny, an expert in interpretative dance, crafts this evocative pose to convey the way I felt earlier today while doing taxes and telling people to do bad things to themselves:
After a few glasses of wine and watching 30 Rock on the DVR, I now feel more like this:
It’s cool. I’m no longer pissed off; that’s never a state I can maintain for long and all it really took to get over it was a nice long walk with the pig-dogs and a nice long phone call from Rupert. He’s doing well, by the way, just slogging through the boredom that’s occasionally punctuated with actual purposeful activity. He should be getting his orders to join a unit later this week.
And he’s close enough to his parents’ town now that he was able to go to their place for the weekend, and his mom took pictures of him in his uniform to email to me. It would have been appropriate for the note to say nothing more than “you’re welcome Rachel” because oooohhh yeah, baby. Give me some orders, sir yes sir!
Best wishes to Rupert.
Sunny makes an interesting ‘Rachel Mood Mirror’!

April 13th, 2008 at 2:12 amGood for you, Rachel.
Me, I’m still puppy-kickin’ mad.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:01 amMmmm gotta love a man in uniform^_^ especially the Army Imho..fatigues are great too ahem.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:05 amGlad to hear Ruperts gettin’ by..sorry to hear he’s still bored outta his mind.
Love the Sunny pics .
Dave Barry has on figuring your taxes. Here’s a sample: “Step one is to gather together your tax forms, your financial records, and, if you plan to itemize your deductions, at least two liters of vodka.”
April 13th, 2008 at 4:06 amOh, good–someone else has a dog as porky as ours. To be honest, though, I think yours is slightly more svelte.
Best of luck to Rupert, too.
April 13th, 2008 at 7:43 amOh, God, Rachel, you had me falling over laughing on that one. I understand COMPLETELY.

April 13th, 2008 at 11:50 ammmmmmmmmmm….men in uniform….yummmmmmmmyyyyyyy!
I get to see hubby four days a week dressed in his blues. LOVE it! 
April 13th, 2008 at 12:08 pmI married a military man. While I didn’t ‘fall for a man in uniform’ as some conjectured, it certainly wasn’t unpleasant : ) The military time elapsed, and the uniform has not been seen for many years, but Hubby’s time in the service is one of the things I am most proud of when I ponder his many attributes.
April 13th, 2008 at 1:06 pmI don’t know what to make of this ‘weekend daily dog’ bidness…
If ‘daily’ means five times a week, I’m extra pleased to be getting a free bonus scoop of free ice cream.
If ‘daily’ means seven times a week, I’m royally pissed that I’m getting gypped out of the free ice cream I’m owed.
April 13th, 2008 at 1:41 pmJust noticed the new “header pic”. Who’s the hot chick? Rupert better look out for the “Joeys”. He’ll know.
April 13th, 2008 at 1:52 pmThe gal in the “retard” helmet is cute - but I can’t get too much of “the saddest bee”
April 13th, 2008 at 2:07 pmRachel you look adorable in your retard helmet and floating baby head tank! And no matter how many times I see The Saddest Bee, I can’t help laughing out loud.
April 13th, 2008 at 2:16 pmRachel, Sunny’s bumble bee costume is hilarious. Where did you find something like this, in Hillary Clinton’s closet?
April 13th, 2008 at 2:39 pmIs that you in the “retard” helmet?
I love you.
Sincerely,
April 13th, 2008 at 2:46 pmBen, Zombie Hunter
Awesome new header!
April 13th, 2008 at 3:01 pmAnd I love the masthead line: Artistry with a blunt instrument–fits this blog to a …. sledge hammer.
April 13th, 2008 at 3:10 pmWere our dogs separated at birth? .
April 13th, 2008 at 3:28 pmYou look fabulous!
Except, instead of “retard”, I’d have gone w/ “Supreme Leader”. Sounds more like you.
April 13th, 2008 at 3:55 pmHsve to chalk up my agreement over men in uniform. My hubby (Sig, who comments here occasionally) managed to get a full time job with the Guard, so I get to see him in uniform all the time. Hot stuff!
