Five

"You barely know each other."

"Why not wait a little longer?"

"It's been less a year."

"He's not what we pictured you with."

"She's not the girl we thought he'd marry."

"It won't last a year."

Five years later, we're still proving all those people wrong.

Mark, marrying you was the best poorly-thought-out, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, jump-in-head-first decision I ever made.

What do ya say we prove them wrong for another five years?

Happy anniversary, husaband. I love you.

One of My Favorite Holidays

I love St. Patrick's Day. All the green and Irish! Its the only day of the year being pale and red-headed is THE THING TO DO.

In celebration I'd like to share one my favorite songs with you. Its by Steve Earle. He's not Irish, but the Irish love him. For reals. And -- as the title alludes -- its about a "Galway Girl." That's an Irish city, yall.





"And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue?"

Pug Day Afternoon

Not to put too sharp a point on things, but the weather in Houston right now is fan-freaking-tastic. The other day, while Daddy was watching Aggie basketball, he let the boys outside to frolic. At halftime, he went outside and took a few pictures.

Whatchu doin', dadduh?

Dear Momma Pug,

Looks like this blog is finally dying out. The world thanks you!

Signed,

The Pig Whore

She's back, yall! It's been months! I thought Pig Whore had forgotten all about me. But she didn't. She still thinks of me. And THAT. THAT makes me want to write a 10,000-word diatribe about how much I love writing things that annoy the Pig Whore. Puppies, kittens and unicorns! And PUGS, yall!

Oh, Pig Whore, I've been depressed. Kind of broken because we lost our beloved Sonny the Pug. But YOU have managed to bring me back from the brink and made me want to write. About things you hate! Like fat people, being successful – YAY Gabourey Sidibe!!! I haven't seen her Oscar-nominated performance in "Precious" yet, but I love her already. She told a reporter on the red carpet that if her Oscar "dress where porn, it'd be the money shot. And you know it."

OH, I LIKE HER!

She's nearly 400 pounds. She's smart, beautiful and sassy. And she makes me want to BURN Hollywood to the ground. There was an entire CNN story dedicated to her OSCAR NOMINATED PERFORMANCE that said, essentially, she's a one-shot-wonder because of her size. "They do not hire women like her for lead roles," the story said. That means they don't hire, beautiful, smart, FAT women. Well, just because they don't, it doesn't mean they shouldn't. Fuck you, CNN.

Anyway, this is a bit rambling. As you can tell, I'm in a mood. I just wanted to say YES, I've been gone a while, but don't give up on me. I might be what you want or expect, but who knows, Momma Pug might be what you need.
