Remind me...

...never to live in Washington.

Here's why: (Associated Press) BREMERTON, Wash. - A 25-year-old woman was arrested for investigation of second-degree assault for getting into an argument with her boyfriend over whether his dog should be in the bathroom while the couple were taking a shower together.
A police report said the man, 26, wanted his dog to join them in the bathroom, but the woman objected on Thursday night.
The woman told her boyfriend that if the dog doesn't stay out, she didn't want to be his girlfriend anymore. He replied that maybe his next girlfriend would appreciate the dog more, and called her a name.
The police report said the woman punched him in the face several times and the man dislocated his shoulder after the naked couple grappled. He told police his girlfriend threw a picture frame, which broke and cut him.
The woman was taken to the Kitsap County Jail in Port Orchard. Bail has been set at $50,000.

I'd like to know what name he called her. You don't suppose it was...b**ch, do you?

Personally, I'd like to hear the story from the dog's point of view: "Wuff. I went into the water room to get a drink from the perpetual bowl and my master and his female were wuff and getting wet. I don't know why anyone would want to get wet. It's just nasty. And they use the bitter foam with the bubbles and it tastes just awful. I hate getting wet and I hate bubbles! Wuff. But then, the female began to bark and point at me, and my master barked back. And then, there was a fight! I barked, too. Especially when the female threw something at my master! I don't think she wanted to play fetch. I tried to get the thing she threw, but it broke. Then my master yelled some more. Wuff! Wuff! Then some people in blue uniforms who were not the mailman came and took the female away. Her fur was still wet.
Then I went and took a nap."

In other news: Hey, it's 2008. You didn't think I wasn't going to mention it, did you? I wonder how many blogs are about the new year, today? How many are about New Year's Resolutions?

I hate resolutions. Not that they're bad or anything. It's just that they don't work for me. Some people like to have something to strive for, and they're really good about achieving their resolutions. But I am the type of person who--when she fails at remembering she resolved not to X, or forgets she's supposed to Y--beats herself up about it and ends up feeling crappy.

With that in mind, here is my resolution for 2008: I resolve not to make any resolutions.

Happy New Year!
