BREAK$

After a nice few days in Tucson that involved some Words With Friends in real life - AKA Scrabble - (which is much better for me as I'm the only person in the family, if not in the county, that doesn't have an iPhone or iPod touch), we made the drive back this morning for my afternoon staff meeting. Only when I pulled up in front of my house, I heard a horrible squeaking/squealing noise as I put on the breaks. Uhhh, yikes. That is the one of the worst sounds known to mankind. It sounds like big time dollar signs (if dollar signs had a sound). So I had to call into work and phone into my meeting (which is a solid 15 miles/30 minutes away). I'm too scared to ruin this car that, due to our impending mountain of medical school + midwifery school debt, has to last us the next 100 years. Or until we have too many kids and/or Shibas to fit the five-seater. Appointment in the morning...pray to the brake gods the damage is minimal....

Speaking of Shibas...I SWEAR they are the only dogs that I've seen that all, across the breed, sleep in the weirdest and most twisted positions. Any Shiba owner I've ever met has said theirs do the same thing.

What a goober.

I'm hoping for a better Tuesday. Then HP on Thursday! EEEE.

P.S. I may or may not have just found Viesa's Halloween costume:
