More pictures...

I know, you're shocked.

Saturday was Glen & Elissa's annual BBQ/Glen's birthday party/Zeke's birthday party. George was gracious enough to by my camera partner in crime. :) So that means we got close to 200 pictures. That's a lot, even for me, but is pretty fitting for the two of us on one camera. We took so many pictures my battery died before the night was over.

Check 'em out.

There's been a rabbit in the neighborhood recently. I've seen it hopping in my neighbor's front yard. I thought about leaving some carrots or something out for it but I don't want to attract other little beasties.

Today was the day to clean the pool. It's sparkly clean - for now anyway. While walking over to the where the pump is, I saw something move in the grass. I've lived here for 3 years and today was the first day I saw a snake in my yard! I've seen a toad or a frog, whichever. I have hawks in the neighborhood and a huge variety of birds. (Did I tell you I had a cardinal on the deck the other day?) There used to be an owl in the neighbors trees (the same trees I'm learning to *hate* because of how many little things they dump in the pool.) I've seen voles and mice. But I've never seen a snake.

It was small, about a foot long, very thin, black with a yellow or white stripe along it's back. I was really hoping the dogs wouldn't notice it!! I ran away from it so the dogs would think I was playing and follow me, which they did. I am the pied piper without a pipe and for dogs instead. :p

Millie's been limping for a while now so I'm going to make an appt for her at the vet. I need to take Tweak back anyway, and I need Freddie & Pacie's special food, as well as the teeth cleaning treats they get. That's going to be such an expensive day...sigh.

I don't know when you'll get to read this....

what fun

I had an awesome time yesterday at the cookout. I posted the pictures on Picasa instead of my site, but the link is on my gallery page. Yeah, I know, there are a lot.

It was odd catching up with someone I used to know. Weird, but good. I don't have experience being a friend so it was a little awkward. Moving on...

Today, Joe & Ellin came by with Floyd so Joe could ground the pool. He added an outlet that I could reach on the deck, which was a huge bonus. :) We BBQed and hung out. Very low key and laid back. :)

Let me just interrupt this to say that one of the dogs has gas. Bad. Man, they're killing me!

Floyd ran around and played with Tweak and Millie all day. Millie hurt her wrist the other day, so after a little running, she got all gimpy and limpy again. Now her nickname is lumpy bumpy limpy gimpy. I'll give her some aspirin, that'll help.

Today I'm not going to do anything but catch up with Tivo. Oh, and probably do a little reading for school, but not much. I haven't turned the TV on all freakin' week and I'm sure there's a ton of stuff to delete. Plus, I have to watch the latest Rescue Me.

Tomorrow I'm going out shopping with my mother so we can spend some mother/daughter time together. I need to grab gifts for some of my favorite people. :)

Saturday I'm going to another BBQ/birthday party. I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures then too. :)
