So my head is swimming right now. I feel shaky and light headed.

I DO NOT HAVE TIME TO GET SICK!

I’m almost positive this is due to the massive amounts of coffee I have drank since waking up, and the fact that I have not had anything to eat yet today.

Lunch is in half an hour, but I am really considering moving it up a bit and making it now. See, I am baby sitting my 2 year old niece. If it was just my boys, i would feel comfortable laying down until the feeling leaves, but when I have another persons child, I cannot do that. I trust my boys to stay out of trouble, and to wake me if there IS trouble, but adding another child to the mix just adds that little element of surprise!

Yup. Gonna go make lunch now.

But first, here is an awesome picture I shot this morning, this photo has NOT been PhotoShopped!

This is one of the flowers my neighbor has planted, her backyard is GORGEOUS! Our fence is treated, unstained, unpainted wood, and as a backdrop for this pretty red flower, Its AWESOME!

I want to go back to bed and have a nap.
I want to sit on my butt all day and pretend I am still on vacation.
I want to post a billion pictures of our vacation!

But my wants are being over shadowed by my needs.

Stupid needs.

I Need to have a shower.
I Need to clean the kitchen.
and wash the floors.
and wash some clothes.
I need to get onto the Wii Fit, even though it has been a week since I have been on it, AND its in the high 30′s today.

So. In an effort to feed at least one of my wants, before I go take care of my needs, here is a teaser picture from our vacation!

Much more to come!

I’m back from our annual summer vacation, and as much as I would love to tell you alllllll about it, I have some very important news to share!

I JUST WON AN IPOD TOUCH!!!!

Yea. Look down at that post just before this one where I was *considering* purchasing one! Now I don’t have tooooooo!

I am over the moon excited!

Tomorrow I will show you pictures and tell you all about our trip, but for tonight, I’m in celebration mood!

I am desperately seeking information on the iPod Itouch. It is a very expensive toy, but I think I might want it.

Maybe.

what information can you give me about it? I understand it has internet capabilities when in a wireless hot spot, such as checking email and accessing internet programs such as twitter.

I heard from Absurdist that there is a software program adapted from the iPhone that you need to buy for 10 dollars that you need to install before accessing twitter and the like. But what I want to know – without looking like a cheapie, is this : Is there a monthly fee for accessing the internet with thee iTouch, or is it free becuase you are doing it from wireless hubs?

Anyone?

We gave Smokey – the dog – her very first ice cream cone the other day!

Stop- I KNOW dairy is not good for dogs, please no lectures, it was a teaspoon of ice cream in the bottom of a cone!

She was begging so cutely – she doesn’t whine or cry, she sits and pushes her head into your leg and looks up at you with her big ol’ doggy smile, and I could not resist. I made her the cone and held it out to her. She looked at me like I was insane!
“Can I take that?” she seemed to be asking so I pushed it directly against her nose. She opened her mouth, went to take the cone and stopped, again looking up at me like “Really lady? This is mine?”

I pushed it against her mouth again and told her to take it.

She did.

The next ten minutes were hilarious as she gingerly carried it to her bed, laid down and held it with her front paws and began to devour her cone – Like a HUMAN would!

First she licked out every bit of ice cream, and then she began taking the tiniest nibbles of the top of the cone, and then finally, FINALLY, she crunched down on the bottom.

She was in heaven, and we were in stitches laughing!

It’s uhm, Five PM, and look at this guy! Passed out COLD on the couch!

So adorable!

Today is the last day Hubs works before his vacation starts. This year, unfortunately, he only gets a week off. Normally they get two weeks. We are still not positive what the days are that we will be going camping, But we WILL be going.

I just hope that there are NO storms while we are there – we tent it!

The boys are over the moon, and hubs and I are just as happy! There are SEVERAL things around the house that need looking after, and now is the time to get it done.

becuase it is the long weekend, we will NOT be going camping until at least Tuesday, so we want to finish all this stuff up before then so we have the rest of the week to relax!

We need to get the patio done, the ground is finally dry!

We need to fix our bedroom window – the crank is broken so it will not firmly shut – a pain in the rear during all these storms!

We need to put in “lawn and garden” edging along the back fence, and get the landscape rocks in and spread.

And… I think that’s it!

So a few posts a go I told you I managed to snag the name of the lady who has the dog who will be having the puppies, right?

Well I called her. Nice lady, we ended up talking for another 30 minutes after concluding puppy business, about life and such, our kids and our siblings and what not. Turns out she went to high school with my brother.

Anyway, the mother dog has already bred to the father dog, and she is expected to whelp around the end of August. We will go down in September sometime to check out the litter, but I have been promised a female puppy.

I’m So excited!
