So, I attended Arikka's bachelorette party last night. Had so much fun with her cute friends. I was nervous about what I was asked to bring - cupcakes. Her theme is a tree as they are getting married under a tree in Zion's. So I made some green frosting trees on the cupcakes. After I was finished Jackson came upstairs and asked me why I had decorated the cupcakes with green spiders. At that point I realized I needed to rethink and I asked my friend Breanne for suggestions. Breanne saved the day by suggesting I make white lines with chocolate and the drag a toothpick back and forth. I tried it when I got home from work and they looked beautiful. Thanks Breanne for the great idea!

So, I grew up with cats. We had several cats, and tried to have dogs but it never worked out. Because of that, as an adult, I really wanted to have a dog.

We got Mo, an adorable Rat Terrier, 5 years ago. He isn't our first dog. Our first dog was a was an American Eskimo named Juno, and we had him for 11 years. When he died we tried a couple other dogs, from various sources. We had some awful experiences with dogs that bit, peed, and we were beyond training.

We decided that we needed a puppy that we could train and we got Mo. He is a Rat Terrier (named by Pres. Roosevelt) and is adorable. He has had his issues with chewing, but for the most part has been an awesome dog.

The issue is that lately, he has developed an ATTITUDE. He has bitten both my son and husband when they have taken his food, etc. Normally, he is the sweetest dog ever and would never bite someone for real. All of a sudden, he has hit middle age and has gotten CRANKY!

I'm wondering if anyone else has has the same experience. PS - I watch It's Me or the Dog religiously.

As my first book I decided to read Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude. It's a really fun fractured fairy tale. The kids are loving it, and I'm enjoying hamming it up with silly voices.

Here's my office decoration this year....Fairy Tales!
