Izzy vs Panda

Izzy is terrified of this stuffed panda in the office. I caught her growling at it and when I took it down to show her she wanted nothing to do with it. I had to hide it so she would stop pacing in the next room!

Terrible ending to a great weekend

Happy Guy Fawkes Night

"Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence [or By God's mercy] he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Hulloa boys, Hulloa boys, let the bells ring.
Hulloa boys, hulloa boys, God save the King!"

Halloween 2010

Donnie Darko and his bee! One costume was bought on ebay, the other made with yellow duct tape....can you guess which is which ;)

Wordless Wednesday

Tuesday Tip:

Don't ever choose the basket over a cart when you go grocery shopping without a list. Your arms will become tired with all the items you discover you need when you have to go around the whole store trying to remember what you need to buy. Baskets are good for when you are going straight to the items you need and straight out.

In related news, I need to start lifting weights. ha!

Monday's Mood

I'm in a "missing you terribly" mood today...

In other news, I am going to try and post something every day this month...Can she do it? Well, she is going to try because despite this being a joint blog, Mike is working insanely hard, so it is up to me to carry on at the moment. And since I have not done a great job so far (this was created by Mike for me as a gift for our 1 year anniversary of dating -over a year ago- and I have not posted on it as much as I wanted to), hopefully this will be a turning point!

My love

"Always choose Paris! Always!"

Inspiration

http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/05/31/how.grownup.kaiser/index.html?hpt=Sbin

This article inspired me....it was not inpirible written and didn't say anything mind blowing...but i realized that just thefact that i was reading it meant I was looking to grow-up...or looking fr the easy way, shoud I say. It disgusted me enough to take action. If I want someting, the only person that can help it is me...go get 'em...cause no one else will (or someine else will)

I have such high hopes for Saturdays

If I were to write today, it would go a little something like this:

"""""OK, this is it, today is the day! Izzy and I have been laying in bed all day long (and I thought getting a dog would help me get up earlier, but Izzy happens to be a nap-lover like myself) and missed all kinds of opportunities to get things done, go on an adventure or do ANYTHING! How do I break the cycle? I had such high hopes last night. I don't want to conquer all the chores, organize my whole life, visit every museum in the area, read every new magazine/book I own or make plans with everyone I have ever know.

I just want to accomplish something (or feel like I have the will power to get up before 3:30 in the afternoon. We have been awake since 8:30, people! why can't I summon the will to get up and have a good saturday?)"""""

But, if we're being honest here, that's what I would write EVERY Saturday....I need to break the cycle. I want to change...and so I'm off to try.

Thirties

Someone (who is very close in age to me) told me (without any asking/prompting) that they thought I was in my thirties (which I am not; not even close either)..... really? Am I offended because he aged me by 10 years, give or take, or am I pleased because maybe its a comment on the authority/respect he might be basing it off of?...hmmm.....

AND btw, since when is is proper to ask someone you've known for 4 days, in your shared place of work, who is a FEMALE, "How old are you?"...seriously, the girl thing alone should keep that and the "How much do you weigh?" question at bay, right?!


***Edit: This was in no way meant as a post on how being 30 was sooo old or the worst thing in the world, but was frustration about how the I felt the incident was a bit awkward/inappropriate the due to the person, setting and circumstance of it. (:

The vet...i think it scares me more than it scares her. I cry every time we go. Yesterday i thought she broke her leg....turns out she is perfectly fine. I stilled cried the whole time....

naps, kids, izzy

I don't have babies. I have a 12 year old shetlie....don't think i can handle kids that don't sleep as well as Izzy does ;) we love our naps around here... :)
