I haven't decided which packaging I like better but it's cool to see the product actually in the store from Celebrity Aprentice.
I actually watched this season and fell in love with John Rich and Marlee Matlin!
I could be on that show... I get shit done!

Day 314
Before I Was A Dog Mom
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I made and ate hot meals unmolested.
I had unstained, unfurred clothes.
I had quiet conversations on the phone,
even if the doorbell rang.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I slept as late as I wanted
and never worried about how late I got to bed
or if I could get into my bed.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I cleaned my house every day.
I never tripped over toys, stuffies, chewies
or invited the neighbor's dog over to play.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I didn't worry if my plants, cleansers,
plastic bags, toilet paper, soap or deodorant
were poisonous or dangerous.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never been peed on,
pooped on, drooled on,
chewed on or pinched by puppy teeth.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had complete control of my thoughts,
my body and mind.
I slept all night without sharing the covers or pillow.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I never looked into big, soulful eyes and cried.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop a hurt.
I never knew something so furry and four-legged
could affect my heart so deeply.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never held a sleeping puppy
just because I couldn't put it down.
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was well.
I didn't know how warm it feels inside
to feed a hungry puppy.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Dog Mom:
I had never known the warmth, the joy,
the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the
satisfaction
of being A Dog Mom.

Day 313
So, Scrabble is adding to their acceptable words list... It's got some people fired up!
Whether you use "badware," "vlog," and "pharm" in real life, rest assured they're words - in Scrabble. As are "MySpace" and "Facebook," defying the traditional rules of the game.
The most recent edition of the Collins Official Scrabble Words dictionary was released this week, and the 3,000 words added to the new edition contains several entries from the tech world, including those that don't get used all that often.
What's a "blook"? A book serialized on a blog roll, according to Collins. I had to look up "splog" (a spam blog, which the author uses to promote affiliated Web sites, according to Wikipedia) and double-check that "scrobble", the term that Last.fm uses to report to the service the names of the songs you're listening to. "Pharm" isn't a nickname for "pharmaceutical," but a hack to redirect a Web site's traffic to another for purposes of profit.
Other generic tech terms include "wiki" and the already-approved "blog," plus a derivative, "vlog". "Badware," "fansite," "webzine," "inbox," and "darknet" all made it, too.
And then there are the two social networking firms: MySpace and Facebook, which are now approved terms as well.
Collins claims it's the authority on Scrabble, serving as the "essential reference for all Scrabble players". But the official rules, of course, prohibit the use of capitalized words.But that comes with a caveat.
"Before the game begins, all players should agree upon the dictionary that they will use, in case of a challenge," Hasbro, the owner of the license to Scrabble within the U.S., writes. "All words labeled as a part of speech (including those listed of foreign origin, and as archaic, obsolete, colloquial, slang, etc.) are permitted with the exception of the following: words always capitalized, abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes standing alone, words requiring a hyphen or an apostrophe."
Also joining the ranks: "grrl," or "grrrl," describing a rough-and-tumble female or female punk; "thang," "innit," "biach," "blingy" and - believe it or not - "punanny," which you can look up yourself.
"Qin," a Chinese zither, was also added, adding another word (besides "qi" that includes a "q" but does not require a "u". Other words that had previously been excluded but have now been added include "heatwave," "catflap," and "pushbike".

Day 312
I've always wanted to grow veggies in the backyard...
With the help of Kelly, I have 2 tomato plants, a green pepper plant, and a snap pea plant!
Lord knows I'm no green thumb but I'm hoping to have some success with these plants!

Happy Mother's Day!
Got to spend the morning with this little stinker that just couldn't get any cuter if she tried!
My trip to NJ was short and sweet and needs to happen more often.
