Wet Your Lips

These make me happy.. I want to go home and make them but that will have to wait until I get paid again. They look like giant Hostess Cupcakes with the filling on top instead of inside. I always liked the insides better. I'm not even a huge chocolate fan. Recipe and pics from here. I couldn't resist posting these. So now that I've shown you something sweet, I'll have to tell you something sour. Last night I had a visitor from Tucson and when I was walking him out he almost stepped on a rattlesnake ON MY PATIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH. I don't know where that snake went but it slithered off and I had to run back inside to get a flashlight to look for it so we didn't cross it's path again. I was terrified and am still terrified.

Rattler

Look closely...I had almost stepped on it but I heard the hissss and grabbed my dogs and felt ill and scared shitless.
well fuck, turns out chi chi ran back after this asshole snake and was bit in the head.

Grandmaster Flash said it best "It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under"

Look at how big her head is from the bite.. my poor, poor baby. I wish it would have bitten me, I would have taken the bite for her. FUCK you rattlesnake. They said it was most likely a Mohave rattler and those are worse than a diamond back. She made it thru the night but the vet almost called me bcuz she was having a really hard time and almost didn't make it. Her clotting levels were off the charts and her blood pressure got really high. She's a fighter so I'm hoping she'll pull through it. I do not like emergency vet's I think they take advantage and overcharge you bcuz they know they can... they have to pay for all those fancy MAC computers some how. it was $600 for ONE anti venom shot!!! $229 for the IV fluid set up and $105 just for the visit... that's not counting all the other things they had to do-1st estimate $1,800!!. I need to say thank you to my best friend and husband for helping me out. They are the best.

****UPDATE**** She's stable and doing just OK.. they said her platelets or whatever are going up again and that she'll need another one of those $600+ anti-venom shots. I think I have the most expensive dogs in the world.. Right now i'd be able to buy a real nice motorcycle with the amount of the bill so far..but, Chi Chi is worth it.
