dogs and fruit

The above pictures are of the two other men in my life. The first is Hank, he's an American Mastiff and a huge lazy dog. Hank is awesome easily takes the cake when it comes to loyalty and just being the most awesome dog in the world. He's huge at 130 lbs, and still as gentle as a kitten. The one I'm holding is my new baby, Baxter. Baxter is a border terrier, and he thinks he's the guard dog of the house. He's just a 6 month old puppy and I'm working on house breaking him. He's not doing too badly really. As for living up to the example set by Hank. That's a hard sale for a little dog, but he's trying really hard. Their wonderful dogs, definitely doggie pineapples.

Which brings to mind the onslaught of debate over whether all the fruits of the world can find love. To be honest I have no clue what the secret is. I've heard every theory and when I was single people were always more than happy to tell me exactly why I was. (who gives people this right????) I was told: lose weight, get out more, be nicer, don't be too nice, be aggressive, don't call him let him call you, etc. None of it made any difference. When I met Steve, I didn't want to let him out of my sight for fear someone would grab him 1st (not an unsubstantiated fear in estrogen church), but when I was with him I didn't feel stressed or anixous I felt comfortable. He was just right for me, I guess that all this kumquat needed was the willing pineapple to come along. When your an exotic fruit be careful, some people will pick you up, squeeze you, shake you, & smell you, but their not planning to buy their just curious cause your a fruit that they've never seen before. Have a grocer screen for you, use the advice of people wiser than you. They may protect you from bruises.

As for the battle of the sexes on Sam's blog....can't we all just get along with out turning dating into an Olympic event??????

comment spam

Is anyone else as annoyed by the concept of comment spam as I am? Advertising is hitting a new low. Not only is it flat out annoying, but seriously does it work? Are they really seeing people buying this garbage? Well I just turned on a spam prooffer thingie, so ya'll let me know if thats even more annoying.

sooooo much

I feel like I'm running in circles lately. Everyday seems to be crammed full of things to get done, so much so that I'm really cheating by taking time to blog, but I can't disappoint my one faithfull reader out there. (Admit it you thought it was you didn't you! LOL some ego you got there.)
Tomorrow continues the maddness that is Homecoming, though bonus for making it this far into the week without borrowing that new gun of Steve's is that I get to wear pajama's to work tomorrow. Now I know to the self employed this is a laughable perk, but to those of us who must look authoritative every day this ROCKS! It's also "Constitution Day" I have no clue what I'm going to do, but I hope it'll be fun and not require much grading. I guess I'll figure that out after I finish here.
Then on Friday we have the Homecoming Day activities which mean that for half the day there are no classes and the students roam the school eating junk food and causing minor amounts or substantial amounts of trouble. I have managed to get out of supervising the little "darlings" by offering to be a judge for the Battle of the Bands. Which I believe to be a highly superior waste of time when compared to roaming the food court.
After that its the weekend and I've got Jonathan and Melissa's wedding, Steve's stepbrother (the lake turned itself into a football game can I get an AMEN!), and on Sunday I've got sound. Then cruelly another week begins and I will probably still not REALLY cleaned my house.

swimsuits

I need to buy a swimsuit. I threw out all my old ones when I moved, because I was throwing out a bunch of stuff and looking at them always made me want to hit something. But I've been invited to spend next Saturday at the lake with Steve's stepbrother. So now I've got to go find a bathing suit and spend money to cause myself deep psychological pain. Not that I dislike spending time with Steve or his brother. I'm looking forward to that, I just dispise the entire concept of looking fat around Steve. So anyone know any crash diets to make you lose 40 lbs in a week??

I hate flies

I hate flies! Not just alittle, but hate the size of TEXAS. They have taken over my house and I have no clue as to how to free myself from their buzzing tyrany. I've started actually vacuuming them up. The trick is to set up the vacum near a window attach the hose attachments and quickly suck them up before they fly away. Its much more effective than chasing them with a fly swatch and much more satisfying. Problem is I've sucked up hundreds and they keep coming back, downright disheartening.
This Friday night is the Coffee Pot game and for those of you who have not the first hand knowledge of the rivalry between Manchester and Tullahoma let me put it to you this way the kids are already discussing the best time to fight and the different areas around the stadium where your least likely to get caught. Yes they were stupid enough to talk about it in front of me...really whats to come of this generation if they can't hide something from their teachers. We'll have no politicians or lawyers at all!!!! But anyway there will be much saddness in school on Monday should we lose this Friday.
My daughter just came in with a little girl from down the street and said they were going to play a game. The little girl immeadiately asked where the game boys were. She didn't introduce herself or for that matter even say hi. This worries me 1. because why are kids assuming that games will be computerized? 2. Who doesn't introduce themselves when they come into another person's home or at least act deferential to the parent????
I know my daughter is a social creature who wants to have friends, but yuck....I REALLY want to pick them. I would hate to see her become that.

uh yeah ok

Well so the comments last time were abit crazy, have to say though the Brain Bullet sounds like an effective means of changing your life........OK, put down the gun and walk away....WALK AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I'm find now, glad to hear I was missed by the Steve even if just alittle.
