florid
florid \FLOR-id\, adjective:
1. Flushed with red; of a lively reddish color.
2. Excessively ornate; flowery; as, "a florid style; florid eloquence."
Other than there being a few items posted that might make someone blush or my "flowery" overuse of adjectives most of the time, this word doesn't describe this blog at all.
It's very seldom red.

I Am Today
You Are Thursday |
Like this day of the week, you are ruled by Jupiter. More than anything, you are generous. You are an extravagant person, but you also like to spread your wealth around. You love to give. But more importantly, you love to be adored for your big-heartedness. Though many people may see Thursday as “nothing special” - you are very special. You're so special that you can't help but be a little conceited! |

NC woman hopes to cash in after dog's deposit
APEX, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina family's dog didn't eat the children's homework, he ate mom's money. Kelley Davis said she had an extra $400 in cash to deposit after working extra hours as a physical therapist. She told the News & Observer of Raleigh that on Friday she planned to deposit the money, but it wasn't in her pocket.
She remembered leaving it in the bedroom and it occurred to her that the family's 2-year-old greater Swiss mountain dog, Augie, might have eaten it.
Davis, 42, said when she took Augie for a walk Saturday, she found parts of three $100 bills and five $20s in his leavings. She washed them with a garden hose and hopes to find enough pieces to exchange them for cash.
A professor at the North Carolina State University Veterinary School said the money shouldn't hurt the dog.
I was torn between the headline I used or:
"Canine Craps Cash"
Gives a whole new meaning to "money laundering", doesn't it?
