When I was 18 years old, my then boyfriends Golden Retriever decided to have some fun with the neighbors dog, who was a terrier mix, and ended up pregnant. I saw her have the litter and instantly fell in love. I brought home one of the puppies and begged my Dad to let me keep her. He was very hesitant at first but of course, being Daddy’s little girl, I won.

My baby girl didn’t have a name for almost a month. I had no idea what to call her. I wanted something that fit her personality and it took me that long to figure it out. To understand this story, I have to include the fact that I wear contact lenses. To me, it is humorous now but at the time I just sat there and cried.

I don’t believe in leashing my dogs. I never have in my life and I never will. I always trained them to stay by my side. Leashes were only ever used when absolutely necessary, such as walks in the park where they were required  per the rules of the park.

You guessed it! It’s here again! That one fantabulous day of the year where people make complete asses out of themselves trying to show their love and affection to their significant others. Where showing how much you love someone is based on the presents one receives and the overinflated events planned in your honor. It seems to be the one holiday that is designed to poke at the wounds of the lonely, discriminate against the single, and pour salt into the gaping hole in ones chest where a heart used to be in the just dumped.

The two don’t seem to go together do they? They just might…..So where have I been? What has been going on? Why have I been neglecting the site. How much time do you have? You might want to refill your coffee coffee/tea cup. After this post you should know why my blog is called Delightful Chaos.

I don’t know about you but I am so happy to see 2011 behind me. December was an extremely hectic month for me. Some good and some bad but all around it was nothing short of chaotic. All in all we had a fantastic Christmas and a fun New Year.

I am happy to say that I am officially divorced, I can close that chapter of my life and continue with the new one. That was a long road to go down and no one wants to be divorced. It was the best thing for both of us though. I wish it had gone a little better but it is difficult to see past the anger and bitterness sometimes. On to happier times!
