I hate this thing..

I went to add a picture to my loooooong posting, and it's gone. No where to be found. SOB. I thought that I would add a posting today, since it's been MONTH's since the last time I did it. I need to stop being such a slack ass, right?


Alright - recap of what I wrote. (which was REALLY good, BTW)
*Raven had to go to the vet yesterday b/c of a UTI.
*My garden is growing and looking awesome. Thank god we still have rain.
*The neighbor's are out of town at Myrtle Beach for the week and one of their two cats has gone completely psycho on me. I swear I like all cats except the pissy ones. He's a pissy cat.
*We took the dogs for a 6 something mile bike ride today - Ripley could have done more. Raven, not so much.
*Lime Chicken on the grill is perfect with Corn Salsa and beer.
*Thunderstorms are wonderful when your sitting at the table with the one's you love (and move puppers away from windows!)
*Convertible Beetle's are the best in summer! (When you have a towel to cover the hot seat!)
*Weekends are better when you are on your own time - and don't have to be on anyone else's. :)



HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY RIPLEY!!!! My puppy is growing. Today is his second birthday, along with Aleister's 2nd birthday (Aaron & Alicia's eldest boy) and Joni & Dude's shared birthday (Our beloved neighbors that moved to Columbus.) Amazing how dates can bring people together, right?

Anyway - I'm off to go make pizza for dinner - and add fresh strawberries to their frosty paws for his "birthday" treat. I love my little boy (and my Ravie too!!!)

Damn blogger....

apparently I'm more of a slack ass than I thought..

So I'm writing in my blog. I haven't written since this PAST July.

So we (meaning four legged children and parentals) went on a little trip this morning. We went to 2 grocery stores - Staples so I could pick up the latest version of tax software (but NOW I have *people*!!) and then off to starbucks for peppermint tea. Apparently its good for your digestive system, and since mine is SO far out of whack, what the hell. FYI - Starbucks does NOT, I repeat, NOT carry Peppermint tea - just those gross TAZO ones that I doubt they ever sell.

On to the third grocery store to pick up some peppermint tea bags and hot water from the Starbucks located in that store. Yum.

Made it to Hamilton - to only find some of the ice sculptures were either beaten and broken <-- we watched this guy walk up to one and start breaking off pieces - and he looked confused when it fell apart.. (serious, don't touch it - it's will melt, jackass). stupid people - sorry.

And then we walked, and heard the 'oohhhhh's and ahhhh's over the dogs. Ripley is pretty impressive since there don't seem to be a lot of Weimaraners out in public (for your information, he's passed out beside me on the couch...) Anyway, another dog came and Raven and Ripley FREAKED out, I mean, barking, crying and jumping. SO EMBARRASING! I can't have my dogs walk by other dogs without acting like they are going to eat the other dog! They go to daycare, they are socialized, but for some damn reason, all they want to do is go after this other dog. (insert RED face.)

So, that's it. A few "friends" of mine were punks and didn't go - but that's ok, they didn't miss much at all - I think the best "viewing" would have been yesterday.
