okay so we decided not to get the puppy just yet. husband is not excited about having both kids home with him full time, and having to house train a puppy at the same time.

Well folks, the verdict is in. It was pebbles.

No, not the Flintstones' daughter.

Lots of little rocks. Somehow, at some point in my life (at LEAST 10 years ago!), I got a bunch of pebbles wedged up in my nostril, and they got a little crusted over, and then since I obviously didn't notice they were there, the tender skin of my inner nostril just ( Read more... )
