What Stone Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Boy.....I'd say this is me. I need to be reminded to close my mouth now and then and let other people have their say. I guess that's what's so nice about blogging......I can "talk" until I run out of steam, and not worry about cutting someone off. I don't know if this has developed from working alone for so long, or if I was just a pushy broad to start with, but let me near a group of people and I want to TALK!!
I "borrowed" this little quiz from Red Eagle's blog....it's from Quizilla.
Well....I've survived the absolutely worst game of miniature golf that has ever been played! We were all silly, and our golfing showed it. We even managed to loose two balls, but found a baby bunny. Then I sent them off go-carting. Lots of smiling faces after that! And the ice cream seemed to be a fine ending for the night.
We watched "The Matrix" last night. My sister may chide me for letting a 14 and 12 1/2 year old watch that movie. As it unfolded, I realized it might be scary for them. The younger one was "disturbed" by it....and asked to sleep somewhere where there weren't so many windows....
Today we washed the dog. What an improvement! He's not 100 percent clean, but a whole lot closer. We towel dried him, and then put a red bandana on him. He showed everybody the bandana and then went off to take a nap. Too much excitement for an old dog.
Tonight, it was laser tag. I'll tell you...those 15 minute sessions FLY by! Seven of us, three adults and four kids from 8 to 14 played for half an hour. Those little suckers really understand strategy! lol I was dead in the water most of the time. I think I came in sixth in the first game and fifth the second. I was sneaky and wore black jeans and a black turtleneck, but the flashing lights on your harness sorta give you away! lol
Tomorrow....the movies. How can you make a choice between "The HULK" or "Bruce Almighty?" I really want to see "The Pirates of the Carribean," but it's not out yet.
Sooooooo...........we're making it through the week. The girls have been working on some math problems their father assigned. They gave me some help cleaning the kitchen after dinner last night. We've played Spite and Malice and Uno....and tonight they are ending the evening with Nintendo. We're tying for a balance of real life and vacation! *G*
It's time for me to go check on the girls. I hope you are all enjoying the start of summer!

We HAVE been busy! This is a nice age to entertain in some ways. When I have to work, they are able to entertain themselves for a while.
I see you'll be away on vacation, Doc. While you're enjoying yourself.....plan the next "Blanche" entry, won't you?? *G* I'll miss reading your blog, but I hope you have a great leave!

Actually Buffy, I may still do some posts while on leave, not as often as I usually do, but you can check in just the same. I will see what I can do about Blanche. I look forward to your comments:-)

Hmmmm. I think I better check this site out more often. It seems there were a few things you left out of our phone conversation the other day!!
As for Matrix - not my first choice . . . as long as you are prepared to sleep next to "Becca Bones" (She isn't named that for no reason!)
Hope you're ready to do some serious gardening when I arrive. It's my "back at ya'" for bailing me out this week.
Speaking of which, I'll leave reading the Code to the lawyers. What a yawner! Though some of the Supreme Court cases have been very interesting study.
The new completion date for the kitchen . . . July 7th. Only two weeks more than the hoped-for time. I'm spousal-unit would say that's par.
Love ya'sissy. See y'all Saturday night late.

I washed max the other day...he smelled so good, looked so clean (he's got a lot of white on his body) and then I took him for a walk the next am. and he rolled in the grass. I thought nothing of it till I picked him up and the horrible smell that came from him made me gag.
Turns out Max rolled right into a robins egg that fell from the nest and cooked in the hot sun for lord knows how long. He was right back to being smelly. The smell has kind of died down, but he surely needs a bath again. I tried the bandana thing, he's too small for it still. Plus he'd rather eat it!! hope all is well :)

EEWWWWWWWWWWWWw, DF! Dogs LOVE to roll in the dirt when they have been washed. I've seen Defer do the same thing, but we've lucked out and missed the spoiled eggs. Occasionally he will find something on a walk and rub his jaw in it. YUCK!!!n Max will grow into the bandana. Keep it for him.
And yes.....that really was my "little sister" who commented. *G*
