A few things. And then a few more things.

First of all, I am updating you on the status of our little friend, Hidalgo. (Remember? The cucumber?)

He's grown quite tall, dark and handsome, IMHO.  I can't wait to slice him up and eat him. (Yes, I realize that sounds a bit morbid. No, I really don't care.)

Next:  

Best friends. Because we both do this:

Special. Because we all do this:

And don't let this picture fool you. I don't glow in the dark. Also, I really can't bowl. Sure, my high score might have been 93, which isn't TERRIBLE, but my low score (and yes, I was trying) was 52.

At least I bowled in good company.

We went up to Casey's family reunion last weekend. Kennedy showed an inordinate amount of enthusiasm at having so many kids to play with for two whole days. She was in kid heaven.

I golfed. I used the same ball the entire time. I call that successful.

I also held baby Julietta. (Why do babies' heads always smell so good??)

And I fell in love.
With a puppy.
I would have taken her home with me, but I couldn't figure out how to stuff her in my purse without hurting her.

Lastly, here are some (very) random pictures for you (a/k/a "a few more things"):

Random pictures explained:

-P4: this is the level I parked on, today, in my colorful parking garage at work. I love that I get free downtown parking. It rocks. Especially on the weekends when I don't actually have to work.

-Lemons: because Kennedy has been bugging me lately to set up a lemonade stand.  Oh, the things I would do if I stayed at home with her all day...

-Ellie and Carl (Up couple): because they are the cutest couple ever. I want to be like them when I grow up.

-Pinky & The Brain: because sometimes you want to re-live your childhood and watch Animaniacs.

-Phish Phood: Um...like I really need to explain this one.

-Space Ghost: Hahahahaha. That is all.

A peek into my mind

Here's what I've been thinking about today:

- Avoiding chocolate/sweets is a LOT harder when you work at a place where there are candy bowls at every corner and cookies in the kitchen.

- It's even difficult when you're at home, and there's no chocolate in sight, so you go to the cupboard and pull out the cake mix, pour some into a small (big) bowl and mix it with water to have your chocolate fix. (Not that I've ever done it. I've just heard that it makes it difficult to avoid eating chocolate.)

- It's much easier to gain weight than to lose weight.

- The economy is super-sucky right now.

- I think people should check their facts about politics before forwarding stupid e-mails (factcheck.org).

- Kennedy is the love of my life.

- I love the smell of wassail. It's very nostalgic. My mom used to make it every year around Christmas.

- Saying you're really good at something doesn't necessarily make it true.

- My dog's breath stinks.



- It's pretty sad when the most exercise I get during the day is walking up and down the stairs in my house.

- I need to get my hair done.

- I need a new wardrobe.

- I need more chocolate.

- I need to be better at distinguishing between my needs and wants.

- Christian Bale is hot.

- Kennedy is the cutest ballerina I have ever seen.

- I'm SO glad I'm done with school and I wish I could say the same about work, which is what I should be doing right now instead of blogging.

- I'm excited to see the baby twins tonight!


Those are my thoughts, currently. What's on your mind?
