Faithful readers may remember a post in which I talked about Marti's little stuffed Santa. Although the pug has ripped the stuffing out of too many stuffed toys to count (see also: Mr. Hedges), there is no question that Santa is her absolute favorite (thanks Crystal!). I swear the pug only parts with Saint Nick when he's in "the operating room" (aka the bookshelf) waiting to get his latest hole patched up.
Here is Santa in 2006:
Sure, he was missing an arm and a leg, but Santa was still looking pretty good.
Here is Santa now. WARNING! Not for the faint of heart:
It's true that Santa still looks bright and shiny. This is because I'm not afraid to throw Marti's entourage in a scalding wash cycle. But as you can see in the photos, Santa's falling apart. Exhibit A is what I call "Santa's Cuff." Exhibit B is what I call "Santa's Hand." And Exhibit C, well, that's Santa with his stub of an arm. What you probably can't see is the slit across Santa's forehead and the fact that he has one threadbare patch that is barely keeping the stuffing from shooting out of his nose.
When Santa's Cuff and Santa's Hand became detached, Marti thought she had two new toys. They have since disappeared; she either ate them or they're stuck under the couch. I don't know how Santa's Right Leg has managed to get by unscathed, but I'm patiently waiting for the day when Santa's Hat Ball becomes Marti's next target.

If you're a diabetic person looking for a goody, make sure to opt for one thing with 150 calorie consumption or less. Treats usually tend to cause you to go over the top and substitute a full meal. Ensure you are really feeling hungry if you are achieving for any snack food and not just utilizing it as being a boredom buster. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Matgjjmony[/url]
Usually do not use mouth wash. Mouthwash has chemicals inside that will discolor your tooth. These chemicals enter your whole body through cells which is found beneath your mouth, and they also change the colour of your grin. Just staying away from mouth wash is amongst the most effective to whiten your teeth and increase your smile. [url=http://www.x21w12w21.info]Heukuk8ily[/url]
If you are considering piece of art your baby's nursery when you are expecting, make an effort to choose paints defined as "no-VOC" or "reduced-VOC." This difference signifies the paints will launch a lot fewer volatile organic substances -- like formaldehyde -- into the air, which is much better for both your family's health but for the setting.
