HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween!

THE FOOD ADDICT

Well this is our boxer Cierra aka-tubby nubby, aka-chunky monkey. Good thing she has a face you can love, cuz she has got one HUGE problem...FOOD! This is what she thinks about all day and night.  If you've been gone to long she usually has found something to eat. It's really amazing how she gets her paws so far back on the counter. Now for today's surprise, as Skyler was the blessed one whom got home first to open the door. It all started when he called to ask again what pills each dog gets with dinner. After telling him twice with the same info he says..."O Ya Cierra ate the whole loaf of banana bread that was on the counter." Now this is not shocking to me any more, but great she ate the tin-foil too. Thats not gonna digest very well and may hurt coming out. DAMN DOG! Now I'll be up all night with her gut moaning, and her farting butt. How pleasant this is gonna be. It's kinda funny to see her glazed eyes tho. Yep, I hope to hell she's miserable. Mind you this is not the first item she has shopped for while we are away. She has eaten a half chocolate sheet cake, a 3 pound roast that was in the slow cooker, a 1 pound turkey meatloaf, a crock pot full of gumbo, and numerous cracker, cookies, fruit or what ever Skyler may have left in his room. I'm glad we feed her so well. Her vet doesn't quiet like her diet and her weight just keeps creeping up on the scale. Yes I have had a lecture or two about this. But surprising she's still alive huh?  So ya think she has a problem yet?

LANDFILL BOTTLE

I have a client who still uses a metal watering can to water plants outside. Her 4 yr.old grandson was helping her one day and asked the simple question. "Grandma, why don't you water with the landfill bottle?" She gave it some thought for a minute. Todays kids see water in bottles that are thrown away and end up in the landfill. Pretty smart thinking 4 yr. old. Which leaves us to this....what a disposable world we live in.

QUARTERS

Eddie wanted desperately to have sex with this really cute, hot girl in the office, but she was dating someone else. One day Eddie got so frustrated that he went to her & said. "I'll give you $100.00 if you let me have sex with you." The girl looked at him & said, "NO!" Eddie said, "I'll be so fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down & I'll finish by the time you've picked it up." She thought for a moment & said that she would have to consult with her boyfriend. She called him & explained the situation. Her boyfriend says, "Ask him for $200.00 & pick up the money really fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down." She agreed & accepts the  proposal. Over half and hour goes by & the boyfriend is still waiting for the girlfriend to call. Finally, after 45 minutes the boyfriend calls & asks, "What happened?" Still breathing hard, she managed to reply, "The fucker had all quarters!"

GOT BABY?

Welcome home Mom!!! This is how I'm greeted everytime I return home. Sometimes there's one baby, sometimes there's two. So what does this all mean? Hell if I know, but she prances around with it for a few minutes following me as close as possible, pawing my leg, and eyeing me with the look.  I woof  u mom, I was good while you were gone, she (refering to the boxer) did it! That's when I start looking the house over to see what's wrong. It's a surprise every time I open the door, but I woof them! 

PET GOAT

This afternoon my husband was leaving to go back to work from lunch he heard this goat having a major fuss. In the back of this truck was a cute black & white goat that could barely see over the bed rails. Kinda redneck if you ask me. Can't say as I have ever seen someone driving around with a goat in the back of a truck before. To each is there own. So as I'm heading in to work I catch a glimpse of a guy jumping in to the bed of his truck at the vet clinic. HAHA It's the truck with the little goat. Funnier is the goat had a blue cast on his back leg. Quess the little feller is this guy's pet.

DOG TALK

Skyler just luvs to play chase with our mastiff Cidney. One of their favorite games is... "catch me if you can" around the island in the kitchen. Sky gets Cid to chase him, then will stop across the island from her, do a stare down, and then does this dog language I don't even understand. Apparently Cid does, cuz she always responds. They have this great conversation for a few minutes, then the chase is on again. I guess what scares me the most is Skyler knows dog language! Does this constitute as a foreign language to graduate from high school then? If so please put this on his transcript.

SIS-TA-LY LUV

As you see, the girls luv each other very much. Always sleeping close to one another. There is an exception tho.... Cierra (the boxer) prefers to sprawl out on the dog cot at the end of the bed at nite. Cidney (the fawn mastiff) luvs to cuddle with daddy every nite in bed. We have the Select Comfort bed that you adjust the amount of air you want to sleep on. Ken likes 35 so it makes this really nice hole to lay in. Cidney calls it cuddling...Ken calls it BULLSHIT cuz she takes over his side of the bed, he wakes up to a sliver of mattress, and a back-ache from HELL!    

HUBBY BEING HELPFUL

This is what happens when hubby is being helpful in the kitchen. After boiling the eggs for snacks during the week he greatfully helps by putting them away. So I think. I had that motherly instinct he was up to something by his behavior when I was asking questions, "Hey what are you doing?" or getting NO answers. That's cuz he was leaving me messages on each egg. Cute things like, luv u, will u b my chick, please eat lunch with me, smile today, will u crack me, i cracked eat me 1st, u r my fav, i might b a twin, 1 sexy chicken layed me, how sexy r u, and I LUV CRACK!!! Just another way to show how much he luvs me. Now aint that sweet?

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY

Today we honor Christopher Columbus, as he discovered America in 1492. Columbus Day is a holiday for some folks. I how ever am not one of them. Just another day at work for me. Question tho... how many times did you check for your mail today? Me?  Just once. 

WHAT YEAR DID YOU GRADUATE?

So what do you do for laughs on a cold blistery day? Yearbook yourself. It's funny and my picture was pretty damn accurate. I graduated in '87.  So if you need a giggle or two, give it a try. Just go to www.yearbookyourself.com  Fill free to share!!!  :)

EBONICS WORKS FOR ME!

Can you imagine working for the Department of Family Services? Well here's a story to rock your mind, funny too. Yes this a true story. No this didn't take place in Wyoming  cuz we don't have lots of African American folks. So a women comes in with her 4 children to get signed up for state services. After going through the older kids names and age, the DFS employee asks about the youngest child, a boy. 

DFS Employee: "What's his name Ms.?" 

Women: "Shi-thead". 

DFS Employee: "That's unusual, where did you find that name.?"

Women:  "In a bathroom stall at a bar." 

DFS Employee:  "Ms. can you spell that for me."

Women: "Sure, it's SHITHEAD."

See that's the difference between ebonics and phonics. Poor little guy!

FIRST SIGN OF WINTER!

It's here... that vapor that forms crystals in cold air and falls to the ground in white flakes....SNOW! I'm not ready... AT ALL. Remember, I'm a warm weather girl. Sure I'll wake up in the morning to a foot of snow on the ground. UGH  Where's my snow boots? gloves? winter coat? I'll be late for work for sure. Shit now I have to start my car so it can warm up & leave a few minutes earlier so I don't kill anyone on the slick streets. Warning....If you see me coming, just let me by (it's the little black blazer), I can't not have my morning latte' before my first appointment. Anyway, my mastiff luvs the white stuff & I snapped this pix of her playing in it lastnite. Well gotta have the white stuff for Christmas. Rite? It's in 11 weeks, only if your counting.

A THING OF THE PAST

When was the last time you used a pay-phone? I believe for me it was in 1989. They always grossed me out... germ infestation! Yuck....I really liked the whole phone booth thing tho, (reminds me of Superman). I saw this one the other day in town. Actually, I didn't even think there were any in existence. A little history on them... William Gray invented the 1st public coin phone in 1889. They were stationed on nearly every busy street corner. That ended a decade ago. . In 1998 there were an estimated 2.6 million pay-phones operating nation wide. That figure has declined to 1 million today. Reason? 250 million cell phones are in use. Great to think we have one out of a million here in Cody. WOW

FLIP FLOPS & BEER

Couple of my favorite things.... flip flops & a beer. It's getting that time of year when I have to put them away for closed toe shoes... :(  I luv my reefs, they have been quite the hit. Yes I drink the beer that requires the bottle opener on the bottom, add a lime wedge to please.  Now the shoes have been a conversation piece, so I was sure to not use the wrong term when speaking about them. Not saying" THONG"!  All I think about when I hear this word is something wedged between your butt cheeks, can't imagine opening a beer like that. Ewww, now that's just a little to visual.

TRUFFULA TREES

Yesterday as I was photographing the beautiful autumn trees up the Sunlight and Beartooth Mts. I spotted a cluster of aspen trees and it reminded me of  Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. I always liked the trees in that show. Don't ask me why, just did. I called them puff puff trees when I was little, cuz I couldn't remember what they were called. Hell I couldn't remember the name of the show either. Just Dr. Seuss and the puff puff trees. Back then my Dad ran the radio station at the school, so this was how he entertained me. Now let's fill you in on how long ago this was, and how old I really am. This was back in-the-day of reel to reel. But if you forgot the name of the trees, it's Truffula trees. Kinda a big word for a little kid to remember, HUH? Well I think there is a small resemblance.

FALL

Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, & autumn a mosaic of them all....HAPPY FALL U ALL!

COMFY?

   This is a common occurrence around our house. Most mornings after the girls have had romper room, it's then nap time, (one of many). Now if you have never heard of dog cots, they are great beds for the critters. We have 3 of them,one is even at the end of the bed. There's even dog beds on top of these great cots as thick as the mattress on our bed. You know the $1500 Select Comfort bed, so there is no lack of padding or comfort. They keep the girls up off the floor, so it's easier on their joints. It's a life saver for our million dollar mastiff, well that's another story. Check back, I'll blog about it. So our girls luv their cots...well not for the morning nap. They prefer OUR bed. It was made by the time they got on it, but see they prefer it when it's not made cuz they like to get under the covers and root around. Make it smell like them. We are so blessed. So really who's bed is it and who rules the house? THE DOGS!!!!!

M & M GANG

These are two of my co-horts. Known as  M & M. I luv these girls, they are like family, we share ALOT of laughter and family stories. We pick on each other on a  daily basis, the clients like it and expect it now. On slower days at the shop this is what takes place, "Got 15 min to do my hair?" Today was hi-lite my hair day. I caught these two beauties catching up on the Hollywood gossip, (PEOPLE magazine, it's all true information right?), while the bleach  was processing. I couldn't help myself so I grabbed my camera and snapped this pix. Well after I showed them the photo, M #2 thought she looked pretty good while M #1 wasn't impressed with her look... AT ALL. Her response was, "Those aren't my boobs!"  Well, I wasn't looking there, I was looking at the nice safari kiddie cap around her neck.  Now I just can't stop laughing when I look at the pix. So the questions is, "Is it boobies, spare tire or FUPA?" For all of you who don't know this term it is "Fat Upper Pussy Area!" HUM...  Well after much discussion, we all agree it's spare tire (M #1 boobs aren't that big).... now sit up straight. :)
