Today is Bob's Birthday! She's 10. Double digits for her..She looks thrilled. :)

Well, after dislocating my knee less than a week ago...

No more crutches! Well, I have them, but I just don't have to use them anymore. The brace is still on and I'm not running yet. But YEAH!

It sucks to be the same knee as last year.

I have to admit I watch America's Next Top Model. More for the photography side of it. But I find it funny as hell. Listening to these girls talk keeps me watching. HAND THESE GIRLS A DICTIONARY & an Encyclopedia! "I love elephants they are totally preposterous."..."Elephants are great and ancient an the only link we have to dinosaurs, since they are both from the same family." It's the difference between warm blooded and cold blooded.

Anyway. Bad TV into entertainment.

Well, it's offical. I'm a Great Aunt. I was always a really god aunt but now Steve's girlfriend had a baby this morning and made me Great.

Miles was born at 7:56 a.m. April 12, 2007.

I was just on the phone with Steve and he said all the grand parents (My Sister Ranay- I keep laughing at the fact she's Grandma Nay now) and Great Grand Parents (My Mom, G. G. Ma.) were there taking pictures.

I am way so proud of my son today.

It started a few days ago when I dared him to hack into my computer to find the password (we password protect so we can keep track of how much time the kids are on line). He hacked it in 10 minutes. I learned now to dare him again. He already calls Comcast and gets our Internet and cable fixed when there are problems.

Today he topped it all. I was sitting in a meeting for a wedding at with a client at my desk and behind me there was all kinds of snickering from Topher. Finally the customer leaves and I had to find out what the giggling like a girl was about.

My son hacked into the DJ's website that is working his prom next week. Apparently you have to vote for songs to be played. You're only allowed to vote once per computer. Something about cookies. Well, Topher voted 43 times for Alkaline Trio's song Mercy Me. Then 300 votes for High School Never Ends by Bowling for Soup. Next he's going to find out what his prom date likes and vote for that one too.

I find not to dare my son anymore. Maybe I should dare him to do his English Homework sometime.

Parenting is fun.

I'm not exactly clumsy or so I thought. I remember when I was a teenager and falling all over the place. Spraining everything, bruising stuff and the occasional bump. This week topped them all.

While in St. Louis (Which was a great trip BTW) it rained on Tuesday and while walking through a modern art garden I wasn't paying attention and slid down the hill in what I call a mudslide. Sprained my ankle and bruised the top of my foot, so now I wear a lace up brace on my right foot and swell up every night.

Tonight after taking off my brace and trying to get comfy on the couch, playing with my puppy I twisted my knee and heard this familar POP. That would be my left knee, the same one I had surgery on last summer. I iced up and popped some drugs and I'm sailing the rest of the night.

One of these days I'm going to need a bubble like they give to hamsters.

My dogs are having an adverse reaction to Pachelbel. I put what is suppose to be soothing music in and my dogs went nuts. All out dog brawl in the living room. Bacon attacking Blaze and even BJ is barking and running around like nuts. Butters is howling and Bob is rubbing her head into the carpet. I'm not sure if the two are related, but this is the first I've played this CD and they just went crazy.

Anyway for those who haven't seen it.

mood: giddy music: Pachelbel Cannon in D Minor

"That shirt makes you look skinnier"....If that's not calling me fat I don't know what is.

:P

We just got a reworked Tivo making that 2 in the house. 1 in the living room and 1 in the bedroom. The living one is meant for TV shows and will record 2 shows at once. It's fantastic. Especially with 4 people watching TV and Several things on different channels during prime time. The one in the bedroom will record all my movies (AMC & TCM). The awesome thing is it all can be put on my iPod so if I get bored or want to spend time outside...watching a movie.

BTW if you didn't already know. I like my TV/movies. I actually do have time to read plenty. It's work I don't have time for. I still have to figure out when to fit that in.

mood: bouncy music: Theme from Shaft

Today was fun and one of those days I absolutely love my job. I got to go into work and shoot dogs. With the camera of course. A couple of poodles came in with their owners and had me on the floor laughing. 1 dog is like photographing jello, two are like photographing...well, after taking Jello Shots. The black toy poodle named Kujo just kept rolling over and over and over. Kissy the gray toy poodle was afraid of the flash. Thrill a minute. Beats working for someone else that's for sure. Because after that I went to the DMV and none of them looked like they were having fun.
