That’s because her name is Frieda.

Back from the vet - the Nameless One is 7 lbs, 13 oz and she’s gotten a good bill of health. Yay! We take her back next month for her next shots, and at that time, we’ll arrange to have her spayed. Poor critter HATES being in the car. The only way I could calm her was to wrap my jacket around her snugly and hug her really close. Even then, it took a while for the tremors to ease. Poor baby…
All my laundry is out on the lines - tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, so everything should be dry when I get home. All the unders that were strewn about the family room were dry, and they’ve been folded and put away. We are very efficient here. 😃
I’m about to assume the knit position. I’m toying with prepping a brisket to cook while we’re at work tomorrow… I dunno - seems like a lot of work… But I loves me some brisket and it needs to cook a long time. We’ll see how I feel later.
Meanwhile, I’m leaving you all for the evening. There’s yarn that needs to be knitted into something!! Behave!!!
_ **MWAH!!** _

Home from Evening Prayer over to the church house. I lit the Altar candles and managed not to burn the place down. Go Me! 😃 ‘Twas a nice service of prayer, healin’ prayer and, of course, The Eucharist.
Welcome back **Jim**! We missed ya!
Her name is Wednesday. You could sorta shorten that to Wendy.
Now I shall go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time.
Nitey Nite Y’all!

Oh, yeah? Well, shortening Wednesday to Wendy makes no sense, because they’re both two syllables! It’s like all those people who “shortened” 2000 to Y2K!

> Yes I know lots about the LOL cats and dogs, also about the oatmeal and dog and cat shaming and I also lurk in [etiquettehell.com](http://etiquettehell.com) and [customersuck.com](http://customersuck.com) and [notalwaysright.com](http://notalwaysright.com), the gutenberg project and various blogs and stuff, I am desparately searching for something new that I havent read before. So give me your blogs, your other message boards that you secretly cheat on the Dope with, your funky sites full of rants and raves and crazies. I need some new reading material.
I’m sure you’ve tried [notalwaysworking.com](http://notalwaysworking.com), and I like [passiveaggressivenotes.com](http://passiveaggressivenotes.com).

I’ve spent the last hour looking at homework that is due tomorrow evening and I’ve finally just figured out what the heck I’m supposed to be doing. :smack: Now that I know, I’m going to go to bed and get up in the morning and work on it when I’m much less frazzled than I am right now.
Maybe **FCD** should name the pup Penguin Santa. 😃
