This entry is just to talk about the 3 stinkers in the house.
A- Lollipop, B- Princess & C- Junior.
A- The Dog.
B- The Cat.
C- The reptile.

I absolutely love dogs, hate cats and could care less about lizards.
But, they ended up being kind of like people.
You might not like them too much at first, but then being around them,
you start sympathizing with the creatures.
- Even the cat that keeps her tail up... so you always have a great view of her...
... you know!


Let's start with Lollipop.
He has a lot of discipline. Is the greatest dog ever.
Couldn't harm anyone. Loves hes walks around the backyard.
And is a total joke. He will play with you until the bitter end.
Loves treats... and to be recognized for his good work.
He also knows a lot of tricks. [he is +/- 10 yrs old]
If he could say anything, he would constantly say:
"I love you".


Then there's Princess.
The best adjective to describe her is: SNOB.
She sleeps entirely too much.
Hates to be bothered unless is by miss Brown. [my niece]
Won't drink water if the bowl isn't 3/4 full, can't be too full or too empty.
Won't walk up or down the stairs, the majesty has to be carried.
Won't go to bed, unless she is carried to bed...
... sounds like a spoiled kid to me.
You learn to love her but just because she warms me up when I'm cold.
If she could possibly say anything, it would be:
"B*TCH what did I tell you about the damn water?"


Last but not least... Junior.
He is the lizard.
He is totally disgusting. I mean from eating little mice to crickets...
Having to be cleaned in a daily basis, almost.
The freaking reptile is a waste of time. (laughing...)
After touching him a few times and having to "live" to see him
around quite often I think I'd miss him if something happened to the damn thing.
If he could speak, he'd say:
"god, please send upon us a Plague of Crickets!"

~ Overcome Jealousy ~

[envy]

1. Leave the Players and the Flirts Behind

One of the best ways to overcome jealousy is to not get involved with flirts and players. There are singles out there who will thrive on making you jealous because they like the dating drama and attention. If you're jealous, they know that you are constantly obsessing over them and dwelling on them. By provoking your jealousy, they've just made themselves the center of your universe. Instead, be smart -- kick them out of your universe and find a better date.

2. Determine if You're Jealous in This Relationship or Every Relationship

In order to overcome jealousy, you've got to figure out whether you're being real or being paranoid. Normal jealousy can actually serve a purpose. It's there to alert you to a partner's possible infidelity -- a threat to the relationship. Is your relationship actually being threatened or is the jealousy in your head only? A good way to figure out if there's a basis to your jealousy is to reflect on your past relationships. Are you always jealous even if you haven't had a reason to be? Do you have trust issues in every relationship or just this one? Also, talk to some friends or family who can be objective about the situation and help you sort out your jealous feelings -- a counselor can also be helpful with this.

3. Get Confident in Dating

The source of a lot of the jealousy has nothing to do with what your date does; it lies within you. If you're upset because your date drools a little when he or she sees a fashion model or celebrity in a magazine, don't start comparing yourself to that image. Work on your dating confidence and focus on all you have to offer. Then, your envy of others will dramatically decrease.

4. Talk It Through

Learn to communicate your jealous feelings in a healthy way. For instance, let your mate know that you're jealous about the amount of time the attractive coworker gets to spend with him or her. Make sure as you're talking, you're not accusing. Accusing makes any person defensive, and you won't get anywhere.

5. Draw the Line

Particularly, if you are in a monogamous relationship with someone, you need to establish what behaviors are acceptable to you and what behaviors will bring out the green-eyed monster in you. Are you okay with your partner constantly texting a single man -- or single woman? Will that send you over the edge? How do you feel about your partner dancing with someone else at a club when you aren't around?
Establishing reasonable boundaries and respecting them gets both of you on the same playing field. The keyword here is reasonable. Setting a boundary like "Don't talk to any single men -- or single women -- you work with" is an impossible and smothering line to draw.

6. Strengthen Your Relationship in Other Ways

If you're overly jealous when there isn't a whole lot of reason to be, it means that your relationship isn't as strong as it should be. You need to evaluate what's lacking. Are you not spending enough quality time together? Has the passion died down over the years? Once you identify what's really concerning you, then you can address it with your partner and work on strengthening the relationship rather than wasting time and energy on empty jealous feelings.
