This is for you, Bonnie....

Just so my poor sister won't have a boring morning, I am posting a new blog post. I haven't felt especially bloggy lately. Maybe it is the ever-present piles of laundry. Maybe I have been too obsessed with watching weatherunderground change the entire week's forecast based on the current outside temperature (note: today's high this morning was supposed to be 48. When it only reached 34 out there they said tomorrow would only be 55 and that we now have a 50% chance of snow Thursday.) Exciting.

I did make soup, bake bread and make baby food, did 3 loads of laundry and let the dog out, let the dog in, let the other dog out, went out into the cold and drug the dog back in so the other dog could go out feel the cold and howl at the back door until I let him back in.

At least the baby food made for great dinner entertainment, Tom was cracking up at the gagging motions the baby made upon trying the said baby food...sigh...I try.


Weell, that's it. I guess I'll keep thinking about interesting life notes. If the baby ever gets a tooth in that will be blogworthy!!!! We are on our 3rd month of teething.

Have a great morning Bon. I gotta go let the dog out....

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Check this out! I just found out about this from one of the other blogs I read. We live way out in the middle of nowhere so I figure many have heard about this movie, but if you haven't check out this trailer!!!

Getting bigger and bigger!

Thought I would post a picture of our "little pup" we acquired this October. Since he weighed about 31 pounds when we got him at a mere 3 months old, he is now six months old and weighs 62 pounds! Double the dog and he isn't finished growing yet!!! ....I must point out it took far more than 30 pounds of food to get him here though ;-}

A Pause....

Just a pause to reflect...Why do they call it fast food if they make you pull forward and wait? When we were on our Christmas trip East, we pulled up to a Dairy Queen and the conversation went something like this:
Tom, "...and one fried chicken basket." Speaker dealy, "Fried chicken basket?" Tom, "Uh-huh." Speaker dealy, "It will be about 10 minutes on the gravy...." Tom, turns to me, "We don't need gravy do we?" I gave him an emphatic, "No!" Tom (to speaker dealy) "NO GRAVY!!!" Speaker Dealy, "No Gravy?" Tom, "No, just the chicken." So we drive up to the window, paid, they give us drinks and no food and tell us to pull forward. Ok.... We notice several other cars are waiting. Eventually an employee comes out brandishing a massive Blizzard at our window, we shake our heads, not ours. 10 minutes later they bring us our entire meal, including a chicken basket with gravy so hot it would scald you! ;-)

And then tonight Mickey D's did the same trick. Made me pull forward to wait -- I still don't know what for -- nothing I ordered was hot! So, my question is, why call it fast food? Why don't you actually listen to the customers? And why would anyone wait 10 minutes for hot powdered gravy?

I'll just send these answerless questions out into the void....
