My Wet Camera

Mr. Hot, Teenie E. and myself decided to go for an afternoon swim in the back yard tonight before dinner. It was fun. Yada yada. While we were swimming, I set the camera on the grass full intending to pick it up on our way back in.
Yeah, I totally forgot about it. On my way in the house, I turned the sprinklers on.

I said a prayer for it before I chucked it in the garbage can. Now, I'm looking on ebay for a newer one.

So since I can't post any new pictures, I will share with you a picture of my daughters birthday party in our pool.

Above you can see how much Teenie E. likes her pool. I don't know what we'd do without it. Here she is with her best friend Olive. I don't really know if they'll really be best friends, but one can only hope.

I don't remember if I mentioned my bad experience in Vegas with my first alcholic beverage (went very badly, barfing in the middle of the Vegas Blvd. leaning out the cab). Well, I've decided to try it again. So my husband just left to get me a fuzzy navel (aka bitch beer). He swears I will like it. We'll see.

1 life down, 8 to go...

I don't know if I've mentioned that I foster kittens. There is a male siamese and a female tabby. Both are very cute...but also very curious. The male got out today as I was leaving to go shop the Sunday morning thrift market.

As I was backing out, I hear this "waahmeowww". I sat there for a few minutes trying to decied how I'm going to explain my dead foster kitten to the rescue groups owners. Then the thought crossed my mind that it might not be all the way dead. If it needed to be finished off, I would either have to take it to the emergency vet and pay $65 to euthanize it, or I could turn the job over to my husband (don't even ask). Just as I pulled my emergency brake to get out of my car, I see the white fur ball dash into my back yard.

Hmmmm.

So I went about my day. When I came home, I found him down stairs napping with his tread mark stained on his white neck. He was fine. But he only has 8 more lives left.

By the way, I opened my own dance studio. First classes start in a few days. I hope it goes well.

Today, Mr. Hot and I are going to take Teenie E. to the county fair to ride ponies, pet pigs, smell cows and eat cotton candy. As soon as the temperature drops below 95 degrees, we will go. (Probably at 7-8pm)

Come back to bed (and pet of the week)!

For three months now, my husband and I haven't been sleeping in the same bed. Fight? Pending Divorce? Snoring? Nope. Try HEAT! My husband is hot blooded and our house is hot enough to make the devil himself blush. So, he sleeps under the swamp cooler in the hallway. My daughter has been copying him for the last month or so.


Now, it's kind of cooling off so Mr. Hot is rejoining me on our throne, but Teenie E. wants to sleep with her daddy still. So now I have to break her back in to the cribbing habbit. Fun.


Also, two nights ago, I woke up to what I thought was a man staring at me through our bedroom window. I was frozen in fear for 2-3 minutes. Turns out, it was something else. I don't know what, but I'm pretty convinced that it was nothing.


Also, the other morning, I made a batch of german panacake. It was the best one ever. Here's a pic:


After I made my amazing panacake, I went and volunteered at Petco for their weekly pet adoption. I've been volunteering with this animal rescue for about 2 years.

Here's the latest dog. Her name is Bella and she is a 3 year old German Shephard / Lab mix. She is very calm and is extrememly obedient. If you know of anybody in Utah who is looking for a great family dog. Let me know. She is at Salt Lake Animal Control where her future is uncertain.

I think that I will post an animal weekly. So start looking for my animal of the week!
