Praying at work

*takes a deep breath*

God grant me the serenity
to accept the MORONS I cannot change;
courage to change the MORONS I can;
and wisdom to know the difference

Doggy Park Fun

Yesterday was the last full day of our off week and after errands I thought we should go to the off leash park. Since it was Bo's first time I was very excited.

As we went to enter the dog park we were greeted by an aggressive barking pit bull mix, and a little min pin. Well I guess the pit was a little worked up because he grabbed the little dog by the head and started shaking it. The little dogs owner was screaming and hysterical while the aggressive dog's owner did little. When he finally pulled the dog away the little dog was hanging from his mouth. After the incident the little dog was whisked away by the upset owner. You would think that the aggressive dogs owner would also have left, but apparently the dogs owner was an idiot.

To avoid having our dogs attacked we decided to walk around the fenced off leash area until the moron left. While doing this we saw the aggressive dog attack two more dogs, so we walked back towards the park as I started to call Animal Control. Luckily one of the other dog owners had words with the idiot so he left.

After we thought the off leash area was safe we went in for some off leash doggy fun. Bo and Gus had lots of fun, and met a bunch of fun dogs. The little woman and I also met some really nice people.







On the way home the boys were sure tuckered out.

Britney Spears Lip-Synching

I've seen some funny articles online but this one made me laugh extra hard Britney Spears Gets Flak From Fans About Lip-Syncing. "After only three songs, some fans stormed out during a Britney Spears concert in Australia, enraged by her lackluster performance. Fans were appalled by Spears' lack of interaction with the audience as well as lip-syncing during her Australian debut of "The Circus" concert in Perth on Friday, according to The Daily Telegraph."

Yes I agree that if you are going to pay hundreds of dollars to go to a concert that you should see the artist actually sing. Otherwise you should have just stayed home, put on the CD, closed your eyes, and pretended you were there. However, Britney's Circus tour started on March 3, 2009, and I would assume that there have been millions of comments about the performances prior to her appearance in Perth on November 6th. For those of you who went to the show thinking she wasn't lip-syncing, YOU ARE A MORON!!!!!! She has pretty much lip-synced live performances for most of her career, and she wasn't about to stop just for you folks down under. As John Mayer tweeted, "If you're shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you." Very Well Said!

I frequently enjoy listening to Britney, especially her recent stuff, but I'm not so moronic that I would expect anything other then a great lip-syncing, dancing, circus spectacular. I guess that's why I wouldn't go to her concert. Well that and I would have to sell a kidney to buy a ticket.

Sleep In Suprise

Once again I slept in way to late and I woke up to a fun surprise from the little woman. She said she got bored and she made me a new banner!!!! She didn't think I was going to put it up but I thought it was super cool (and much better then the one I made)... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn Wal-Mart

Normally I love shopping at WalMart late at night so I can avoid the morons crowds. I understand that doing this normally includes that dodging boxes and employees stocking the shelves. However I didn't like this shopping trip. Almost every isle was blocked by boxes, and I couldn't take the cart down the isle. Stockers looked at me like I was an idiot when I tried to get by, hitting my with their carts, etc... So I had to park my cart at the end of the isle, walk down the isle, find items, and then go back to the cart.

So it wasn't a great trip but it's over now and I have groceries. Yay!!!!!!!!

Sleeping Tooty

The little woman has told me about the atrocities that occur in the office when our boxer puppy Bo is sleeping, and I'm finally experiencing them. He is sleeping in this adorable position but let me tell you it's not so cute when he farts every few minutes. Ewwwwwwwwwww.

I think I should start feeding him Beano. *gags*

Sign Language Cat

My Cat Stockton is crazy for scraps of papers and is notorious for taking them (and other things) to hide somewhere.

I've been making some sign language flash cards and I woke up to find some spread around the livingoom. These are the words he chose:

Plenty
Crazy-For, favorite
Often, frequently
Some
Discuss, debate, argue
Snow
Rule
Sometimes
Ski
1-Dollar
Curious
Right (legal, moral)
Law, legal

Maybe you guys can help me figure out what he was trying to tell me.

His palms were sweating, his heart was racing, and his mouth was dry as a bone. Looking into Susie's he took hold of her hand and got on one knee.

As he looked up at the love of his life he said, "Will you make me the happiest man in the world?" She replied, "YES!"

Rainbow Bridge

Today I did something very difficult. I took may baby dog Shelly to be put to sleep. She was my first dog and I love her, but I know it was the best thing. She was in pain but now she is whole again and running across rainbow bridge to meet my dad, who was one of her best friends.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Warning Disturbing Story - Embarassing Shopping

Ok this isn't so much disturbing as it is funny, but I wanted to warn those who will see my post on Facebook...

On the way home from sign language yesterday I stopped by Wal-Mart to buy some... uhhh... you know... OK I WAS BUYING CONDOMS! This is something that I rarely do because it is: 1) Cheaper/Easier Online 2)IT'S EMBARRASSING AS HELL (for some reason). Well along with that naughty ppurchase I was also buying some imodium for our dog Gus, who has been fighting some diarrhea.

Since I was only getting a few items I didn't grab a basket, and walking to the register I realized how odd this combination of products might look. Well it did look odd, especially when I ran into someone I use to work with at Discover Card. *bangs head on desk*

After an awkward conversation, while trying to hide my condoms I went to the register to be rung up by a young lady who gave me embarrassed looks. Then to top it all off as I was leaving the stop thief security alarm went off, and I had to show the old man my dirty little treasures.

Next time I'll stick with CondomUSA.com

Manic Monday

This is my Monday MeMe... You answer three random questions that are posted on Manic Monday and then you post it on your blog.

Most of the U.S. observed Daylight Savings Time yesterday. Is it easy or difficult for you to switch your body clock? Do you suffer from jet lag when traveling?

Since my work schedule is working 7 days on graves and then having 7 days off when I sleep at night I don't think my body clock ever works right. Lets just say I love melatonin.

If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go?

Hmmmmm that's a hard one. If they like to hike then I would take them to the great trails around here.

When you travel away from home, do you miss it?

It's true that there is no place like home. I love to see new places but when I walk in the front door of my house I am so happy!
