???
So...fine time to remember that youngest needs an animal picture for art class - tomorrow!!
Naturally most of the dog pics are on the other pc so here I am taking them off the blog.
one of these days I really need to get organized, or maybe not. If I were more organized I would probably spend more time on here ranting :)

woo hoo! 2 in one month!!!
So, back here again since my farm won't load on FB, no energy left in mafia wars - I need a FB intervention :)
I think the winter storm is inching here IRL, weatherbug radar shows it's here, but skies outside, not so much.

A post every 6 months or so....
Just waiting for the winter storm that's inching it's way here...should be fun with the wimpy dogs that don't like to go out when it's too hot, too cold, too wet...
Maybe one day I'll get inspired to actually write something interesting on here or maybe I'll just start a really long list of all the places I've applied for jobs/sent resumes, that would take up a lot of room.

Countdown to graduation
or, countdown to summer, countdown to high school.....
12 calendar days until graduation. I don't think there is any actual school work going on, so counting actual school days isn't even worth it :)

Shopping
Remind me to never again go dress shopping with a 13 year old girl. I think we're still okay with the 2 she picked out, but there's still 10 days before the first dressy dress is needed!
And...I just realized, I have 10 days to get shoes to go with that first dress, something that does not have 4 inch heels.

Happy Almost Friday
From an email....
To be posted nose height on the refrigerator door:
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door: To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain about Our Pets:
1. they live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn’t speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don’t ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don’t hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don’t smoke or drink
8. Don’t have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don’t want to wear your clothes
10. Don’t need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children!

Happy New Year!
Hope everyone has a wonderful, happy, healthy new year (with no fireworks - GSD had a bad night, too many booms going off! Fortunately, people must have run out quickly, it all ended after 10 minutes or so)

Can't wait for Monday!!!
So, this should be fun...watching 2 kids carry 5 boxes of Kleenex, 4 packages of Clorox wipes, 3 boxes of baby wipes, 6 rolls of paper towels, in addition to the book bags with 16 spiral notebooks between them, filler paper, 12 folders, and the 2 plastic "shoebox" type boxes with all the art supplies :)
Somewhere in those book bags and art supply boxes will be 4 bottles of glue, 4 sets of colored pencils, 16 regular pencils, 4 rulers, 3 boxes of crayons, 4 boxes of markers, erasers, calculators, 2 sets of water color paints, a couple of pencil sharpeners, 2 erasable pens, 10 regular pens, 2 pencil cases, 4 glue sticks and....
I think I need to go thru the list again, I'm sure there's "stuff" missing.
The best part of all of this, at least half will need to be replaced after Christmas break. I'm pretty sure that the sock eater that lives in the dryer has a relative that eats crayons and glue sticks when everyone has left school for the day!
Well, 4 blocks to school in brand new shoes should be really interesting!

Almost end of summer
School starts in 2 weeks - Whoo Hoo!!!
Oh, wait, I'm sorry your summer vacation is coming to an end :(
Did I sound sincere???
So, the cat is still living in the basement because the GSD thinks he might be either a good playmate or chew toy, crotchety dog still doesn't think GSD should be living here and the 2 birds think that 10-10:30 pm is a good time to start talking to each other!
The fun has already started, cheerleading practice 2x week, soccer sign-ups this Thursday, first football games in a month...maybe I can wait for school :)
