Yep, she's still dead. Yep, we still miss her.

So back by popular demand (mine), here is a random photo essay of Sephie from last Christmas and New Year's Eve. Somehow Vicki gets the spotlight too, but only because someone took pictures of her with the Best Dog Formerly of the Planet, Now Residing under Christian's Parents' Backyard Overlooking the Marsh.

Cute dog wearing Antlers

Seph giving us the familiar, "they're finally going to eat me" look

Seph getting a lil' scratch

This is how Seph looked when anyone cuddled her. Don't take it personally, Vick.

But Seph still knew she was beautiful, so she had to mug for the camera eventually

Photo Op over = Seph done cuddling, as you see here.

First, there were the various flavors of ice cream featuring cake.

Now, there is Bluebell brand sherbet.

Compared to cake, this may not sound very exciting, but holy cakeshit Batman. It is. Very, very exciting. For me, anyway.

But I was sick of seeing Jay and Silent Bob every time I checked my page for comments. They are ugly SOB's.

I guess the most excitement I've had lately was a visit from our beloved PDawg who accompanied us on a trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West
where Christian took many colorful photos, some of which feature me looking hot and pregnant (read: fat).

In the past, I harbored a distinct dislike for Jay of the famous Jay and Silent Bob duo from the movie Clerks.

I'm about two years behind, but I've decided that Clerks II is better than the first movie solely due to Jay's interpretation of Buffalo Bill's sick killer dance from the movie Silence of the Lambs.

I also think Randal the movie rental guy is funnier in this one.

That's all I have. What can I say, it's difficult to become gainfully employed when you're knocked up.

You know what? If we still lived in Savannah, I would CONSIDER letting Katie Joyner, Savannah's newest expert photographer take some shots of my ever-growing belly once it really sticks out there. But alas, we do not live in Savannah, so no belly pictures for you!

But seriously, in addition to her website, check out her blog at www.katiejoynerphotography.blogspot.com.

She is an artist.

but here's CNN's video of Al Gore endorsing Barack Obama today. No matter what inspiring words his speechwriter undoubtedly supplied him to deliver, as I watched it with the sound turned off (the way I watch most things), I wondered if it is difficult for Al to campaign for other presidential candidates when his own victory was stolen from him eight years ago. Guess that environmental stuff keeps him busy, but I'd be pissed if I were him.

Even if you care nothing about politics, it's worth a visit to this link to see Cutey Cusack all fired up and in a tizzy about McCain.

He's just too precious.

I do not know what my freaking problem has been, but here goes with this blogging thing again...so yeah, we moved to Arizona and yeah, we're knocked up and yeah, we're having a boy. All of these things = good. Yay!

No pictures exist of my fat hairy belly, so don't ask!

Clearly, Christian is kicking my ass with this whole blogging of our move across country. I recommend checking him out here because frankly, I can't be bothered right now. So, all 2 of you...go see Christian for updates on our trip!

Some of you already know that Christian and I lost our Sephie this weekend. The three of us were a family for seven of Sephie's 12 years (we think that's how old she was). Words can't describe what we're feeling, but we console ourselves with stories about her stubborn nature..."she wasn't about to play second fiddle to no baby." We respected the hell out of this dog because she lived life her way. And if that wasn't possible (let's face it, she was 4 pounds, how much control did she really have?), she copped an attitude.

Here's Miss Thang copping one a couple weeks ago - the most recent photo we have of her:

Here's to you, PotRoast, SpeedBump, MeowMix, SlowMo. We love you fiercely.
