RN: Great news! My fave cousin Josh, just called me from Vancouver to wish us Happy New Year and to tell DH & I that his daughter just got engaged!!! No wedding date set yet. But I am thrilled beyond belief. She's a lovely girl.

RN, lol, I just looked at the clock and thought, Caleb will be home in a few minutes, Darren will be home in an hour. La de da la de da.....Oh crap! What time is it? I forgot about Dakota and I have to pick her up! First day of school forgetfuls I think.

RN, thinking of all those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attack. Also those who worked so hard to help with the rescues and clean up. Every year on the anniversary, I feel very uneasy and worry about how vulnerable we are to terrorist attacks. I'm hoping we get through this day without any incidences.

MSNBC is replaying their 9/11 coverage in real time this morning. 9 years later, I still cry when I see those buildings collapse.

RN I want to thank everyone for all their kind thoughts and wishes from a couple of weeks ago. Both Kassie and I have settled down somewhat into a new routine. I went and had Costa's pawprint (from an impression made of his little paw) tattooed on my ankle with his name and a teal flower (the color of his collar/leash/harness). I brought him home last Friday and am finally starting to remember all the fun we had (and not that last week). I'm starting to look forward and thinking about getting another furry companion for Kassie. So again, RN, thank you all for all your kindness. That was a rough time, and it's still difficult, but y'all are so very appreciated.

RN, walking around with his pawprint on me is giving me so much comfort. He used to come up and put his paw on me, so it's a reminder of just how great a kid he was. And smart. And cute.

RN, that made me cry, Costa. I know that the pawprint brings you peace. I've been thinking about doing the same for a while now with Bailey's print. His wouldn't fit on my ankle, though.

RN, oh no! I'm sorry Bic! I didn't mean to make you cry. But do it! Wherever his paw will fit. It's so cool to know that I'm walking around with a part of him on me, for ever. Smooshing his paw into the plaster of paris or whatever it was, actually made his paw look bigger than it was. So his pawprint is a wee bit bigger than in real life. But... they got his nails in the impression and my tat artist put a teeny nail at the tip of each toe! And it IS based on the pawprint I brought home... the tat artist did a rubbing of the impression. GO DO IT!!! It is the coolest thing to have on you.

Right now, Costacat, I love that you got his pawprint tattooed on you. That's one of the best tattooes I have EVER heard of. I'm so glad it is comforting you.

RN, as I said in LA Ink thread, I love this tattoo idea, Costa! I honestly cannot think of a better reason and better idea for a tattoo.

RN, Ah sh*t, crying again, LOL. I gotta tell you, I get it. My husband has a large tattoo of Bailey on his back/shoulder. It's beautiful. But I WILL do it. My first tattoo at age 46 (!) was one I debated/wanted for four years in memory of my father. It's so very special when there's something in your heart attached to the art.

RN, I have to say even my father (who absolutely HATES my tats and doesn't understand them) loves the Costa pawprint. He said that that one he understands, it has meaning, and that makes sense for a tat. Whenever I feel down, I look down and smile!

RN, I have to give dh much deserved kudos! He called Sears 6:30 this morning to schedule a service appt. as our had fridge conked out. While on the phone, he was offered a 1 yr warranty at a price of $250 that would pay up to $500 of todays repairs costs or $500 towards the purchase of a new fridge. The repairman was here at 10:10, the fridge is fixed, and we saved $117, all because dh had the foresight to buy that warranty! And, it's good for any other repairs (hopefully there won't be any more) up to $500 per visit.

RN..Back in June the neighbors across the hall had a domestic and she wounded him slightly and got arrested. I peaked thru the door peephole and just heard the shouting. The policeman chatted with me about what I heard, etc. Yesterday I got a subpoena to appear at the courthouse in a few weeks. All I heard was yelling and did not see her hit him.
