Spam,

I am SO TIRED OF THE HEAT! Hazy, hot and humid have been the only words out of the weatherman’s mouth in the past few weeks.

I had a list of things I wanted to get done this weekend. Do you think I did any of it?! I spent all weekend on the couch, watching tv. I couldn’t bring myself to withstand the extreme temperature differences between outside, the car, and the air-conditioned stores. I wasn’t feeling well to begin with and that just would’ve made it worse.

To give you an example of how hot it was yesterday, I’ll share a story: one of the few times my butt left the couch yesterday was to bring the boys on a walk. We got across the street and down a few feet on the bike path when Kilik sat down, looked up at me, picked his front paws up off the ground one at a time, and started shaking them like they were on fire. I had to pick him up and carry him the rest of the way. He is a little drama queen at times, but it really was that hot.

It is even hotter today.

Cheers to whining about the weather (because we are SO good at that here in the midwest),
love, famous

Famous!

You know what sucks, when you have something in your eye and you can’t find it. And someone else can’t see anything in there either. Then why does it feel like this? Oh, and to add on, you’ll say, “Is there something in my eye?” And of course someone will reply, “Your finger.” Stop that. It’s not funny anymore. OK, it’s not funny anymore unless your under the age of 10 and haven’t heard it. Actually, with today’s generation of kids thinking they are about 4-6 years older than they actually are, a 10-year-old who acts like they are a 16-year-old probably would think that was a really stupid comment. That’s what sucks.

You know what doesn’t suck? YOUR BED. OMG! I love it. You guys did awesome. Sooo impressive. I can’t wait to visit your new house! Ruby LOVES our living room. Unfortunately, because of her pee problem… and sometimes puke problem, we don’t let her hang out in there during the day while we are at work. It’s carpeted and it would be ruined in a month. Yes, I said puke problem. Probably since November or December, Ruby will vomit bile about once every other week. I’m probably jinxing myself right now, because it’s been like 3 since she did it last . But it’s always during the day while we are at work. Remember when someone called your pup neurotic? I’m OK with someone calling Ruby neurotic, even I do it. I think one of two things is happening - one, some days her anxiety about being left alone gets the best of her, and it makes her sick, or two, she barks at the mailman until she vomits. Kind of like spinning in circles for too long. She just stresses herself out because that man in the blue outfit who has been walking up to our door every day for the past 6 years, and has never done anything to her, deserves a bark down.

When is the last time you actually printed pictures? Kara and I were chatting about this the other day. Remember when you used to drop film off and go back and get excited to flip through your pictures? We don’t do that anymore. And I’m actually quite awful at even getting the pics form my camera onto my computer. Therefore, since I don’t have any animal, house, DIY project, fun activity pics to show you, I’ll share a link with you of somebody else’s photos.

Paul Octavious - I’ve seen his work on a few blogs. Here are my favorite photo projects (click the photo to see the entire project):

Good Friends

Same Hill, Different Day

Have a fun-filled, Spring-weathered, Do-It-Yourselfed Weekend!

LOVE ME,

And my neurotic dog who will more than likely live to see the day she goes into the Guinness Book of World Records for the oldest dog ever, because she would do that to me,

Spam,

I am SO tired! I could fall asleep on my desk right now.

I could use a cat nap.

We have the UHaul booked for Saturday, so we will be moved in by the end of the weekend! I have been out every night this week either running errands or going to the new house to clean. My 9:30 bedtime has been pushed back and I can definitely feel it. Getting up at 5:00 to teach spin has been hell. I haven’t been pushing my classes as hard, so I apologize to all my spinners out there!

I met someone this morning who definitely needs to read that reference book. I forgot my lunch in my car this morning, so I ran back out to retrieve it. Coming back into the building, a man was standing by this security door we have that requires an ID to pass through. He had a cart full of boxes, etc. so when he swiped his card and opened the door, I went to hold the door open for him. He started yelling at me “I can’t let you in! Didn’t you go to the training? I am not supposed to let you in.” Okay. I get the point. You’re not suppose to let me in. But in my sleepy stupor I couldn’t get any words out for a couple seconds. I think I was stunned he was being so rude. Finally I was able to form the words, “I was just going to hold the door for you.” Jeez (I said that in my head). The front desk receptionist and I exchanged glances that said “Are you kidding me?” Once I got through the security door (by swiping my own ID) I had to ride up the elevator with this guy. He said “Have a nice day” when he exited. Really? I almost started crying when I got to my office (that’s when I figured out how overly tired I really am).

Cheers to all the considerate Canadians out there. We need more of you.
love, a very sleepy famous

When you walk into a public restroom that reeks, and out of all of the stalls available, you choose the one that the reek is coming from.

gag.

Spam,

My computer died. It’s a good thing I am married to Geek #1. Let’s see how long it takes him to fix it.

Cheers to losing all my files,

Famous,
You know what sucks? Finally back to work, so I can’t post very often!!! I’ll figure it out.

• When I first moved up here, I recognized the rollerblading popularity. Until last summer, I hadn’t rollerbladed since I was in 5th grade! I think people just get in any outdoor activity they can because of the short summer season. But wasn’t today amazing! Even with the humidity, no complaints!
• Leggings, not for me. There are definitely a lot of people wearing clothes about, oh, 3 sizes to small. Do they have friends? Or mirrors? If I could see your dimples through your leggings, I would tell you. That’s the kind of friend I am - on dimple patrol, and muffin top control.
• If dogs can add and learn 250, then can they also have learning disabilities? You’ve seen the videos. She’s special.
• Mrs. Kennedy accomplished amazing acts during her lifetime. She will never ever be forgotten.

LOVE ME,
And how freaking lucky I am that my summer break ended just when the summer weather arrived!

Hi Spam,

You know when I said that your visit was the one bright spot in my week? Well, today totally justified that comment.

1) I had a REALLY bad day at work. REALLY bad.
2) I was almost hit in the head by an apple falling from a tree. When I looked up, I swear I saw a squirrel laughing at me.
3) I had to turn around and head back home after two blocks into a walk because I forgot poop bags.
4) I had to do laundry.
5) I had a REALLY bad day at work.
6) I had pizza for dinner and now feel fat and bloated.

Did I mention that I had a bad day at work?
Please…come soon and make me laugh again. After today, I think I forgot how to even smile.

Grrrr to bad days.
Love, famous

1. Cleaning out/packing up my office.
2. Transferring EVERYTHING from one computer to another.
But so far, these are my only complaints regarding my new job, and they have nothing to do with my new job - so bonus.
3. Having something blurry on your contact and and not having anything to use clean the contact.
4. Blisters from new shoes.
5. Stubbing your toe - especially the pinky toe. “Son of a … ”

But you know what ROCKS, going to the cities this weekend. And seeing you.

LOVE ME,

And please know that I’m more than balancing positives and negatives because going to the cities and seeing you totally outweighs the list of 5 things that suck,

SPAMANDA

P.S. I WILL be posting vacation stories (or in Canadian - holidays stories). I just have to complete suck item #2 first.

Not knowing where Sprint went.

I drove to the Sprint store yesterday, and it was gone.  No “we moved to this place on that street” message in the window. Just gone. Jerkys.

So, I will not be able to contact you via cell phone until my new one arrives in the mail. Woo. Livin’ like the old days - good old early 90s.

LOVE ME,
And my 2-5 business days of peaceful cut-off-ness from the new age,
SPAMANDA

Fame,

My toilet phone is officially gone. It drowned in a Caeser last night.
RIP, Toilet Phone. It was good while it lasted (almost 3 months).
