Sprite and Austin!

So today Chris and i applied to adopt a dog. No no i lied.Today we applied to adopt..2 dogs. They are a part of the Paws on Parole program which takes 6 dogs every 8 weeks and puts them through training where they are paired with an inmate in a prison. They spend 8 weeks training and learning and graduate with a good citizen award. Chris and I went to visit the 6 dogs today and we ended up applying for 2 of them, Sprite and Austin, Cairn terriers. They're brother and sister and they love each other. Originally we just wanted sprite but we couldn't bear to separate her from her brother because she loves him so much. Sprite is a lapdog that wants to snuggle all the time. Austin is definitely in charge and loves his little sister. He was meant to be with Chris and already looks up to him.

This is Austin

And this is his pretty sister Sprite

They love each other

This is the class they are graduating with on June 25th

I'm becoming Dog Obsessed

Hide your pooches, protect your puppies. I'm on the lurk.

The Oil Spill Makes Me Sick

This was the sign next to the Gulf of Mexico exhibit at the New Orleans Aquarium. Figures.

I spent my week doing this

Don't be Stupid. Protect yourself!

It's Summer!

New discoveries

Hey Arnold isn't wearing a kilt, it's just an untucked shirt!!

I've been fooled my whole life.

Why we're the laziest country in the world

Not just the laziest country..but the laziest species. Here's why.

We have Movable Walkways

Somewhere out there Aliens are looking down upon us and saying "ok wait...it's a thing designed so you don't have to...walk?" Yes aliens. This is a movable walkway. It moves slower than someone actually walking and if you actually decide to walk on it it's just the equivalent of slightly faster than a stroll because why walk when you can just stand.

We avoid movement even when we're moving

You may argue that this machine embodies the opposite of lazy. It involve exercise! But hang on just a second. This machine allows you to walk or run..in one spot. Because why would you want to move when you walk? Why not spend a ton of money so you can enjoy the same steps over and over again.

We buy kitchen tools that only have 1 purpose

We have tools that can only be used for 1 thing. This cuts bagels. It doesn't cut bread, sausages, lemons, carrots, celery, or anything else that our handy knife can cut. It just cuts bagels.

We think of ways to avoid bending

wow

out of food..sorta

Things we need:
Milk
eggs
barbeque's sauce
mayo
mustard
bread
oj
cheese
meat
taco shells

Things we have more of than we could ever possibly eat:
Hot chocolate
syrup
yellow rice
cheerios
crutons
Italian dressing
chicken broth
olives

THE HIPPOPOTAMUS

Behold the hippopotamus!

We laugh at how he looks to us,

And yet in moments dank and grim,

I wonder how we look to him.

Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!

We really look all right to us,

As you no doubt delight the eye

Of other hippopotami.

Disgusting

iPhone 3GS Supreme Rose by Stuart Hughes
Price: $2.97 million*

Stuart Hughes—who also designed the most expensive television—made headlines in 2009 when he crafted a 22-carat gold iPhone studded with 53 diamonds for an unnamed Australian businessman for £1.92 million. More recently, he says, he was commissioned to make an even pricier version of the phone in 18-carat rose gold with hundreds of diamonds, including a single-cut, 7.1-carat diamond for the main navigation button. 

self expression

it's one thing that humans choose to decorate themselves in crazy ways but I doubt these cows choose this style of earrings. 

In Ireland they just spray paint their animals.

clap...clap clap.....clap

Is scattered applause worse than no applause?

Rather than pushing past awkward moments I seem to relive them over and over and over

and over again.

It takes 250 years for a saguaro cactus to become fully grown

Ice coffee is a scam

you can't fix stupid

Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?

Or according to Chris' baby gators "dolphins are just sharks without teeth"

And this is what it feels like to be a champion

Male dawson bees have only one thing on their mind. But don't all males...

"biting other males to death is the dawson bees way"

The female starts to come out of her hole

The males wait until she's out

They fight to the death and one gets what he wants

They don't even buy her dinner first.

Things I hate/like reading on other blogs

I spend some of my free time perusing though the various blogs on blogger and I've found a trend of things that make me want to pass right by, throw up or read the last 100 posts of someones blog. If you're interested i've put them in a handly list form:

I hate reading:
1) Blogs written from the voice of babies. Babies don't type, babies don't even talk. Don't write your blog like your baby has an opinion about the outfit you bought for them that week.
2) Blogs that give every nasty little detail about whatever disgusting medical treatment you had on your foot fungus last week.
3)Blogs written by 15 year old girls that spell tings lyke dey neva went 2 skool + r lyke OMG my lyfe SUCKS SOOOOOOOOOOO HARD!
4)Blogs that try to sell stuff, if your stuff was any good it probably wouldn't be sold on a blog
5)Blogs devoted only to recipes or crafts, see #4 for reason

I enjoy reading:
1)Blogs about weightloss. You go girl, you've got my support.
2)Funny blogs. Who doesn't like a laugh
3)Blogs with interesting background or names. It's the whole judge a book by a cover thing. I do, i judge, i'm more likely to read an interestingly named blog than one called "The Jones Family"
4)Blogs that are short and sweet, i don't need to know EVERY detail of the day but a good description here or there is always nice as long as it's relevant to my entertainment

Obviously I value free right after education

Holidays have lost their sparkle

When I was little Thanksgiving/Easter/Halloween/Easter time were the most exciting things in the world. So much so I wanted to cry when they were over because I knew it was an ENTIRE year until they came back. Slowly but surly this sparkle of special is going away and that's very sad to me. Luckily i still giggle like a little girl at Christmas but Easter was just blah this year. I hope i never lose the Christmas squeal though.

May you Rest in Peeps

Ever wonder what you can do with your leftover easter candy?

I don't have leftover easter candy...

Oh and why's it called a potluck?

Fish eat fish

The only qualification to make a fish eating other fish acceptable is size. I'm glad that doesn't apply to everything.

Indian Buffets are like seeing young cousins

After it's been a while since you've been to one you start to think about it and eventually make time to go. Then you get to the day you're supposed to go and nothing seems like a better idea. You are thrilled at first and everything is so delicious and you eat and eat and eat but then you start to get full so your enthusiasm slows down. After your second plate you're completely full, exhausted and ready for a nap. When you leave you look back and agree you had a great them but it will be a while before you come back.

"what you gonna do, i'm still pretty awesome"

Says Tyson, the most recent person voted off of Survivor. You couldn't pay me to be on one of these shows. How is it that I despise reality TV people so much but i'm obsessed with reality television. It's trash, spew, brain rotting-ness but it's sooo good, haha.

On another note, I love Wednesdays. It never feels like I have a whole half of a week left on Wednesdays but rather half the week just flew by. Today was very long though and my bed is calling my name.

F U Penguin

Hilarious book and blog. It's made waiting for Chris to get ready to leave a LOT more fun because I throw things at him like "walk like a normal person, asshole!"

I've started learning italian in 10 minutes a day. Si, it's difficult but the book i have has lots of colorful pictues and somewhat resembles a 2nd grade english book. Wish me luck!

Music

When I have a song stuck in my head I'm not sure if not listening to it or listening to it 100 times is better for making it go away. I do usually figure out if the song is worth buying though. Why don't my class notes stick with me for as long as Ingrid Michaelson does? All the more reason to include music in instruction!

Disney World and the finally final return of Chris to follow!

This is creampuff. She's a Young Female Silky Terrier that's up for adoption on petfinder and I WANT HER! Alas...5 more months.

Why Not?

I have a lot of random thoughts so I figured this would be a cool place to put them.

Imagine if we couldn't breath and see at the same time. Would be breath twice as fast or see half as much?
