Hmmmm

If you could ask this fine fellow any question you wanted and he was able to understand and respond - what would you ask and how would he answer??

Meet My Nemesis!

Ever seen one of these? Cute little butt, or hideous sightless face? Let me introduce you to the enemy that I have been fighting for the past year: Mr. & Mrs. @#$%! Mole. And yes, that is the hideous sightless face!

I have been trying to rid my backyard of these pesky critters for the past year. At first, it was a kindly effort of packing down the mounds. Next, bringing our trusty fat cat to smell the enemy and telling him to get crackin'. When that didn't work, a blast of water from the hose. "Run along now friends. It's too wet here." All to no avail and my yard was quickly becoming a mine field. So I decided that I needed to turn to my tried and true mole eliminator, Mole Bombs! These are so cool - they look like sticks of dynamite. You light 'em and cram 'em down the hole, then quickly seal it up. The bomb explodes sending special gasses to put the moles into a gentle, yet deadly slumber....or so the package says. MY moles breathe deeply of the gasses to become Super Moles with super mole powers and super digging babies! They mock my paltry efforts to eradicate them. I set up a trap, they tunnel all around it. Stuff dog hair down the hole? They kick it all back up into a neat pile on my patio. I fear for the foundation of my house - I left a hose running into a fresh tunnel for over 30 minutes and the water did not exit, ANYWHERE??? Where are they??? Please! Please, can't someone help me?? Is there some way I can "encourage" them to go to my neighbors??? There must be some Mole experts out there!

Christmas!

Only 86 days until Christmas!!! Can you believe all of these people (and dogs) cram into one bed on Christmas Eve to wait for Santa to come?? It's the cutest thing ever! Now Jetty will be joining them and Holly will be taking up more room!

Croc Hunter

Did any of you happen to see the interview with Teri Irwin, Steve's wife? What an incredible woman! It just broke my heart to hear how she responded when asked what she would miss most. She said that Steve taught her how to have fun. That it was okay to play in the rain and getting muddy. It was okay to let the children get dirty. It's okay to spill ice cream on your pants, etc...

Sounds like he was really able to keep things in perspective AND make a huge difference in the world around him.

I'll never forget the summer that his movie came out. Jake wanted to see it cuz we loved his show. It was thee worst movie we had seen in a long time and so we ended up just laughing hysterically at the dorky scenes. People started to stare at us, especially when the fat person's butt was stuck in the bathroom window and then they farted! Tears were streaming down our faces. I was so embarrassed cuz I just couldn't stop laughing - neither could Jake. Hilarious!! But only because it was so incredibly bad!!

Good Conversation Starter

A lot of conversation revolves around movies, games or music, so don't forget to check out this great website guys: http://www.pluggedinonline.com/index.cfm

A lot of us already use this site but it is such a great tool to pass on to anyone and could really enhance the dialogue. :0) People may get curious and wonder why you care about stuff like that.

So in closeing i'm calling out to my relatives to throw in the well deserved $1000 dollors i'll be needing from all of you to make this night a most memorable night indeed.

Jake

Would you use this?

For some reason, this just really grosses me out. I know it's practical and a lot more hygenic than a pit terlet, but still....It just kind of reminds me of a giant pooper scooper baggy.

Yay Costco, Indeed!

I was in a quandry for what to fix for dinner one night when I suddenly recalled the ginormous bag of Costco burritos in my freezer. Ah ha, I thought, I can fool everyone! I will simply put them in a baking dish, cover them with enchilada sauce and grated cheese and some sliced black olives and Viola! Enchiladas for dinner! Plus, I won't have to burn myself deep frying the stinkin' tortillas! Success was mine! I called Jake and Joel to dinner. Jake came into the kitchen and asked what we were having. "Enchiladas!" I said triumphantly. "Yum!" he said hungrily. He stopped to gaze at the pan and as I turned to the sink, I saw him, out of the corner of my eye, go to the fridge - thinking he was just getting something to drink. When I turned around, there was Jake holding one of the prepackaged burritos - looking at it, looking at the pan, looking at me. Looking at it, looking at the pan, looking at me. Slowly shaking his head in disbelief that I had sunk to such extremes..... Busted!

I was dying laughing - as I beat the tar out of him!!!!!

Is Breakfast Really The Most Important Meal Of The Day?

I personally do not think so. If I eat breakfast I am starving by 10:00 AM and basically for the rest of the day. I personally prefer to fuel up on COFFEE, sweet, beautiful, coffee......

Do you eat breakfast? If so, what's your favorite breakfast food and/or what do you usually have?

Sheesh, just thinking about now I'll be hungry all day!

Deep, deep thoughts with Didy. Seriously, it will help us get to know each other and we have to kind of ease into this. :0)

Woo Hoo! Amazing Race!!

Which team is your favorite?? So far, I like the Korean brothers - but we will see how the TV editing changes my view point down the road.

My question to you is this: If you were chosen to compete on Amazing Race and you could have any partner, living or dead (except Jesus cuz that would be cheating!), who would you choose and why?
