Hey HI HI HI.....and guess what I had a birthday and am now 29 again....LOL..nope 42 and proud...
Right now it is 9:57 pm on Wednesday night, and I am actually supposed to be looking at these two powerpoint presentations that I am supposed to have a webx in the 7 in the morning while simultaneously looking at the web tool interface. Yea....don't think so...I'm tired...and was up this morning at 5:15 with the sun coming up and actually Buster (the pug) was in his crate yowling...so I got up..and took both dogs downstairs it was so peacefull outside and then put buster in the dog run and lola in her bed downstairs and crawled back upstairs to get all comfy in bed again, because I actualy set my alarm for 6:50...well then I heard all kinds of commotion in the dog run...and yes the dogs were playing with Buster all excited that he came into visit so early....stupid on my part.
Oh well I was up by then...day went well today worked a bit on the non-profit that I am doing with Boo and also preparing for another meeting tomorrow.. Later in the afternoon, the dogs decided to dig to China again because they heard that the Olympics are going to be there and yes...they also heard that they are not serving dog. How polite of them...well Ray and I looked out the window at the water everwhere again because of the sprinkler system being dug up and what do we see besides water mud etc. Roxy our other dog (yes we are so insaine) with this huge root in her mouth....and Ray and I were laughing so hard because she was talkin to us with her eyes: She was saying...."Look at me and my bad self, yea I dug it up, and proud of it." Now she talks with a bit of a southern drawl.. She was so proud, and it looked like a huge spider with 20 legs hanging from her mouth, and it was basically her kill, and she was sharing with us.
We laughed so hard, and I guess you have to be there but just the look on her face..so proud...When I was tuckin in Ray tonight for bed she and I were talking about it again and at the same time we both go "She was so proud" did the fist bump after that...LOL
