After months of anticipation, the day of Mars' closest approach has arrived. For those who need to know details, at 5:52 a.m. EDT we pass within 34,646,000 miles of the Red Planet. Mars also reaches its greatest brilliance, magnitude -2.9, and apparent size, 25.1 arc seconds in diameter. For comparison, Mars is now as bright as Jupiter ever gets. Jupiter can appear as large as 46 arc seconds, however. It will be the year 2287 before Mars comes closer than this (and then only by 43,000 miles).

The day we thought my moms ex would be comming home he calls and says that he has car problems and that hes getting the parts in, which we believe is a lie just so he can stay a extra day. But then he calls today and says he has blow a gasget or something and hes stuck in Glenn, New Mexico. He called and he thought that we'd come out and pick him up and tow his car with my car! He's deluded, after all his lying crap! And talk about instant karma!! He got himself into this mess so he can find a way to get himself out, without our help. And today we found out his little girlfriend is 3 months preggy with her ex boyfriends baby. The plot thickens! I'm just wondering if shes gonna try to tell him its his baby or if she will tell him at all. Time will only tell. This will be her third kid by a third father. They are perfect for each other.

A few days ago we got a phone call from my moms ex bf's cell phone and she heard a woman saying that a little child has his phone and she thought the child made a call and then moms ex hung up the phone. So that was out first hint that he wasnt at his fathers like he clamed he was. Today is a very sad day. I went to give the outside dogs some water. And I called Molly, my moms ex's 3 yr old shar pei, cuz i couldn't see her where she'd normaly be. I looked around a bit and then I found her dead. It looks like she got caught in something and stranged herself. We didn't even hear hear. I'm so upset. My mom tried to call her ex's cell and all she got was his voice mail. Then she called his dad's house and guess what, they haven't heard from him. So my mom got in contact with his online gf and her mother. His gf actually had the balls to say that we killed Molly. I would NEVER EVER kill anything!!! Molly can't help it that her master is a major asshole loser jerk fuck face. I'm so sad that this has happened.

Well it's my birthday today! We're not doing anything real special, just staying home and relaxing. But my mom did get me a gift, I got some blackhills gold butterfly earrings! They are very nice, I just love them. And my grandparents sent me a card with $50 in it! So i went out and bought the latest Harry Potter book, some incense, some hair thingys. Then I bought us some dinner, nothing expensive, and rented some movies all on $50! The best of all is that my moms ex boyfriend has gone to see his dad for a week!! I'm so happy he's not gonna be around being a grumpy ass to us!

Kea and the puppies are doing great. They are getting so big, they are about a inch long and have fat bellies. They are making more squeeky sounds. They sounds more like kittys then they do puppies. And that shrink I had to go see was really nice, and I was there for about 3 hours doing all those tests that they wanted. And I had to do this true or false statement thingy it was 567 questions long. Some of the questions where really odd like : I think someone is trying to posion my food.......true of false, and stuff about hearing voices. I did really good on the memory tests, the shapes, and telling with differnt words ment, I did bad on the math which i expected. Overall it wasn't that bad.

I can't believe it!! I got a web design on a blogspot blog! I'm very proud of myself! It took me all of today to do it, and I asked some people for help. I think it looks really nice, if I do say so myself! Tomorrow, the day before my birthday, I have to go see a shrink for social sercruity case. It seems like it might be 3 or so hours long! Ugh I wish I could skip it.

Kea and the puppies are doing great. Shes such a good and protective mom. She lets us hold the babies, but starts to freak out and cry if we have them too far away and hold them too long. So we don't do that much, we don't want her to stress out. But I like to do checks on them to make sure everything looks good and everything is great!

My mom's little chihuahua Kea was pregnant, and she had the babies! We stayed up all night and well into the morning. It was so amazing seeing and help her give birth, and yes I helped alot. She started labor at 3:28am on the 10th. We didnt see the sack, which the baby was in, until 4:14. It was so hard to see her in so much pain, she made strange sounds kinda like she was a cat. Then at 4:15 she gave birth to Crystal, a female, I pulled the sack off of Crystal's face. I know it sounds gross but this is her first litter so i was gonna help her as much as possible. Crystal is very light tan, almost white, with white on her chest she is very vocal. We were thinking that Kea might have like 3 to 5 puppies we didn't know for sure. At 4:45am she started having bad contractions again. Then at 4:55 another female, who we named Willow, was born. She is a darker tan with a white blaze on her head and some white on her neck and chest. She is the most quiet out of all the puppies. She had 3 membranes around her, which I helped remove. Then for the last time at 6:11am Kea went into labor with the last puppy. Lyric Myst was born at 6:14am, she was the easiest to birth for Kea, and again I helped remove the membrane off of her. Lyric is the white tan like Crystal, but she has a white blaze on her head and neck and chest. She also seems to have a longer coat then the other ones. So thats the puppies. I am keeping Lyric, but I might change who Lyric is as they become their own puppy, depending on personality. I think that my mom wants to keep the other one. We promised one to some friends of my moms. But we'll be able to see that puppy when we want to. So thats the news as of now! I'm so happy I got to be there and see all of that happen and help out alot too.
