Some Good Old Fashioned Mocking.

I spent a solid ten minutes today laughing uncontrollably and mocking my dog, who got herself stuck wrapped around a bush and had to bark for assistance.

My favorite part of the whole debacle is the irony. See, she couldn't have reached that bush and gotten herself trapped if she hadn't first broken free and pulled the stake that her leash is attached to out of the ground.

This is the first time I've found her trapped in a bush. Usually she gets stuck in the retaining wall blocks stacked up against our house. That scenario has the added hilarity bonus of finding her trapped while precariously sitting over a foot in the air on blocks.

Oh, silly Pepper. Bushes aren't for dogs.

Crazy Stalkers and Flame Engulfed Pianos, Oh My!

Oh, I am so thankful "One Tree Hill" is back on air in all of it's crazy glory.

It's stalker time again! It's been a whole two seasons since OTH has had an obsessive stalker! And this one? This one is a mental patient off her lithium meds who happens to be identical in appearance to a character's dead wife (because they're played by the same actress, naturally). And she was last seen stealing his wedding video and re-enacting it on her sofa. Heehee, oh the soapy goodness.




Oh, and did you know that depression could lead you to accidentally spill your martini on your piano but then intentionally set fire to it with the lit candles you keep on top of said piano while you're playing it? Well, then this public service announcement was for you. Now you know.

A Little More Dialogue To Tide You Over

Not to be outdone in the ridiculous quote department by my sister, here are some gems from my littlest brother that I found in my unpublished drafts:

-Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooom! Can. I. Have. Some. More. ChocolateMilk. PLEASE?!?
-No.
-I won't puke! I PROMISE!
-No.
-Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
-No.

-**knock** Is somebody in there?!
-Yes! I'll be out in a minute.
**silence**
-DO NOT GET NAKED IN THE HALLWAY!
**silence**
-DO NOT!
-I'm not!
- (yeah right)

Makeover!

Well, this sadly neglected blog has a gotten a much needed makeover.

It's so red and pretty now!!! Yay!

I've also gone back and properly labeled posts so that it's easier to find things. My favorite labels are "This Here Post Is Mostly Video" and "Yes I'm a Crazy Person." Now all of the other labels need clever titles to match... which is so not happening. Got any suggestions?

There are still some tweeks to be made but now I'm in the process of working on new content to make the makeover worth the effort. I'm trying! Posts by the end of the week on ice cream and hip hop dancing! I PROMISE this time.

Oh, and I've been getting some anonymous posting recently, so if you've stumbled here from somewhere else I've been writing or from the internet at large, feel free to say hello! All are welcome.

Helping Around the House

When I help around the house, it usually involves mopping the kitchen floor, sorting the kids' toy room, and shampooing the carpets.

When my sister helps out around the house, the following sentences tend to come out of her mouth:

"Dammit, I need a chain saw."

"I don't want to destroy it! I want to put it in a glass box and look at it!"

"Well, the carburetor needs to be taken out and dusted off."

"I can make it flat. I just need a shovel."

"The whole point of working out here today is to get a tan, so I'm not worried about getting out of the sun."

"I moved a few till I founds lots of bugs. Then I got grossed out and ran away,"

Boy, has it been an adventure-filled day.
