Sit back, close your eyes and imagine one of the worst possible things. I know what you are thinking. You lost your remote. Am I right?! Ok so that is not literally the worst thing that could happen to you but it would be pretty terrible. Recently my toddler has decided to pick up any and everything that he can reach and then carry it back to some secret hiding place that he has cleverly created. I am never able to find the hiding place and he just laughs at me about it. This time the little stinker got the remote and I am in a tizzy. There are so many good shows coming on this week and I am not able to watch any of them because I can’t find the dang remote. I might have to call direct tv and have them send out a whole new remote just so that I can get our television viewing priorities back in order. In the mean time I am spending a whole lot of time tying to teach my toddler that hiding mommy’s things isn’t very nice.

Learn more about Green Monster Dogwear from www.heygreenmonster.com...

Green Monster is a home-based, dog-centric company focused on creating functional and expressive dogwear that remains true to the “dog-ness” in our best friends.

Green Monster believes that pet personality can be expressed in dogwear without losing functionality. In fact, can be expressed more fully with improved design that allows better movement, comfort, and fit.

Green Monster was founded by Haley and Jessica Pryor in January of 2012 as testimony to their mutual love for dogs, artistic vision and each other.

Mixed media artist and Atlanta native, Haley has been producing art for the past 15 years in the Atlanta area. Her art has spanned media from textiles to wood, pencil, acrylic and everything in between. A little known, but widely substantiated, secret talent of Haley’s is in identifying dogs by breed from 100 yards away; specializing in obscure, hard to pronounce species.

Marketing consultant and lifelong writer, Jessica has been in the Atlanta area since '98 looking for the best way to express her creativity. Her childhood dream was to be a veterinarian, owing to an insane love of animals; but after being admitted to UGA’s vet school, her insanity itself took over and… another idea did too.

Together the pair have born Green Monster as the outlet to their creative passions and a legitimate excuse to approach every dog and dog owner they meet.

Queer 13: Lesbian And Gay Writers Recall Seventh Grade [Paperback]

Seventh grade: You remember it, don't you? Sweet sixteen seemed impossibly far away, an elegant, unattainable future. All that we had was the doldrums of thirteen -- not so sweet, and definitely queer. Now, some of the finest observers of the gay experience take us back to the homerooms and hallways of our youth, in a collection of original essays that captures that time of adolescence when social and sexual development was at its raging worst.
