Kids say the darndest things...I found this and it reminded me of Beepa:


Grandma's Age:

A little boy asked his grandmother how old she was.

"39 and holding," she replied.

"Well, then, how old would you be if you let go?"

What's Been Goin' On...

So, I haven't blogged in awhile. I just haven't felt up to it much. And it hasn't exactly been the most exciting around here either.

Our Easter was nice. Mike's mom Mary came down from NY for the weekend and spent Easter with us. She even got us Easter baskets, hehe. We had to go to plan B when it came time for Easter dinner though. It was still a lil' too frozen, oops. So instead we went to good ol' Bob Evans and had a nice dinner. Love that place, really friendly, relaxed, and great home cooked meals. So what if it is usually full of blue hairs, they know where to go! hehe. Reminds me a little of Friendly's up in NH. After that we went to the carnival. It was the last day they would be in town. Lots of fun! Not our typical Easter, but it was nice.

Lately it has just been alot of the same ol' thing. Working, studying, cleaning, keeping everyone fed and keeping the yard mowed. It has been in the 80's the last couple days, and it looks to stay that way the rest of this week! We have been doing alot of grilling! All the flowers are blooming, and the leaves are all popping back out. Only thing not so nice, has been the exuberant amounts of pollen. I've had to rinsed my car off with the hose every few days just to see out the back window! Everything outside has turned yellow! Hopefully soon that should slow down. Keep your fingers crossed!

Slippery Lil' Sucker

I got home from work today and let Toby out. That is my number one priority when I get home. He is so excited he is just about bouncing off the walls, and he really needs to pee. So like usual, I let him out, and it was nice out, so I proceeded to go and sit on the steps off the deck. Toby was running all around our fenced in area of the yard. Go here, and pee-pee, then going there, and pee-pee some more. He has to mark everything, he is a boy after all. I was just sitting and relaxing my poor feet, which felt sooo nice. (I am on my feet all day at work.) Every once in awhile I would glance over to keep an eye on what the puppy-dog was doing. I watched him run all along the fence in the very back of the yard. Then I looked, and he looked as if he is on the other side of the fence. (It's a chain link fence, so I can see through it.) I thought my eyes were just playing a trick on me, and it was just an illusion that he was on the other side. I jumped up and started walking towards him. He was still walking along the fence, and coming towards me.
As I got closer I realized I wasn't just "seeing things", Toby was definitely on the other side of the fence. I had to quickly call him and open the gate to get him back in before he realized what he had done, and proceeded down the driveway. Sure enough, he came right back in. Now I had to figure out how the heck he managed to do that. Thinking there might be a hole in the fence, I ran back behind the shed and to the corner of the fencing. There is a, maybe three inch, gap in the fence, where our fence connects with the neighbors. And that sneaky dog slipped right through it. I don't know how he managed to squeeze through, but I saw no other way of him getting through. Geeze, now I really gotta keep an eye on him! Funny thing was, he never even knew he had done it.

This gave me a giggle...

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. This being a big event, the girl tells her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and "do it" for the first time. Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never done it before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some protection. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about protection and doing it. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many he'd like to buy; a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be very busy, it being his first time and all. That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parent's house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in." The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer with his head down. Ten minutes pass and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to her boyfriend, "I had no idea you were so religious." The boy turns and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

Toby vs. Ducky...after the fight.

After the infamous Toby vs Ducky fight. Ducky took a turn for the worst. He quacked his last quack. Toby now holds the Championship Trophy.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent on Ducky's behalf to the National Wildlife Federation.

(that was for you dad!)

29 on the 29th

With all the computer problems, I wasn't able to mention it in time. But before I forget, last Sunday my parents celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary!! I can only hope to be so lucky. Love them both! Let's see 29 more :-)

(talk about an old picture...I am sure you can guess who)

Who Thought Of That?

It's been awhile since I posted last. But in my defense, my computer was having a hissy-fit and wasn't working correctly. I think I finally got it fixed, only time will truly tell. But I got something in the mail yesterday that made me laugh.

We get this catalog from CatClaws every so often. It is full of stuff for your cat. I am not one of those people that is cat obsessed and has kitty furniture throughout my house. We only get it because when we adopted Katie from the Concord-SPCA amongst all her paperwork were some goodies. Like we got a free visit to our vet if we took her there within a week, and there was a free cardboard kitty scratcher pad we could send away for. Since we lived in an apartment and it was free, figured what the heck, let's get it and see if she prefers to claw at that. Needless to say, she didn't give a hoot about it, she thought the furniture was more fun. But ever since then these people have sent us there lil' catalog. I think most of what is in it is a lil' much, but I did purchase one thing out of it, the kibble catcher. I love it!!! It catches all the food those kitties drop out of there mouths, and Katie can't drag the water bowl wherever she pleases (leaving us to step in it or there were the occasions when she would flip it right over completely!)

Anyways, we got another catalog in the mail yesterday, which I admit, I usually ignore. But yesterday I was in a rare mood and decided to look through it. Amongst all the kitty toys, scratchers and treats I came across something that I found totally odd. Right next to the cat collars they have a cat muzzle. That's right, a kitty muzzle?!! At first I thought that was awful, but then I couldn't help but laugh. When Mike got home I suggested we get it for Lily, hehehe. He too found this funny. We would never really get it for her, but I definitely thought about it. She has a tendency to chew on wires (electrical wires). But I would never be able to bring myself to putting a muzzle on the poor lil thing. Even though they are on sale, hehe.

Poor, Poor, Kitty!
