Something that makes me laugh...

On home improvements. And, well, zombies...

Thanks to Melissa for this little tidbit:

READ ME

I am just excited that This Old House is taking the risk of an impending zombie attack seriously. ;P

Appreciate away...

In case you didn't hear, May is Zombie Appreciation Month.

Not sure how you are supposed to go about "appreciating" zombies, but this is just as good of a time as any to stock up on bottled water, canned food and some sort of weapon to protect yourself with.

Luckily, Rach is back in town from Africa, so at least that part of the plan is going...well, according to plan.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

We only thought she loved Adam...

Happy Cinco De Mayo, everyone!

They have never written back before!

I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,sorry I did not inform you
about our trip.We actually made a quick travel to London UK and
unfortunately attacked and mugged at gun point on the way to our
hotel,all cash,credit card and cell phone were taken away from us but
luckily we still have our passport with us.

I`ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they're not helping
issues at all and our return flight leaves anytime from now but we`re
having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't
let us leave until we settle the bills.

Am freaked out at the moment

Glad you came replied and nothing has been done from my end here. All
I need now is for you to assist me with a loan of $2500 to settle my
bills. I promise to fund it back and you can have it wire to my name
via Western Union transfer store nearest close to you, I will pick it
up with my travel passport as a form of identification. Below is the
required information for the transfer:

Name......Mary B.
Address:447 Harewood Row, London, NW1 6S
United Kingdom

As soon as it has been done, kindly get back to me with the confirmation
number.

I owe you a Lot.

Mary

business is really slow right now. Can I send part?

try to get more money (I think Guido owes me a few k). Is tomorrow too
late?

How tight? Like corset tight or panty hose tight?

"In case you get any questions or comments". Oh, ha ha. Very funny.

While most of your museums are closed today, I want to let you know that the Dallas Police Department will be conducting SWAT Training in the Cotton Bowl today and tomorrow (Monday & Tuesday) in case you get any questions or comments from your patrons. Thanks

This was all fine and good on Monday when we were all closed, but not today when we have 150ish 4th graders, their teachers, and parents all looking around like, "I told you Fair Park was bad!"

I never said I was a rational thinker...

Last night, Trevor and I waited eagerly for President Obama's big announcement. There was a lot of speculation about what he would say. The broadcast journalists just kept talking about how rare late night, last minute Presidential speeches are. The only thing known for sure was that it was a matter of national security.

During this time of anxious waiting, I started to convince myself that maybe...just maybe...Obama was going to announce that the zombie apocalypse had begun. No kidding. I even asked Trevor if I should fill up the bathtubs with fresh water.

So, it was relief to hear that Osama bin Ladin had finally been caught. For so many reasons.

If I ever have kids, I hope they never have to do a school project on what mommy and daddy were doing when they heard the news that bin Ladin was dead. Because I would be lying if I didn't say that daddy was trying to talk mommy off of mount crazy.

In my defense, I blame that Honda Civic commercial with the zombie. And Rachel over at Singular Girl. Thanks to them, I've had a hard time getting my mind off the undead.

Bother.

A dog's life at the ranch...

Yes, the pansy got to go to the ranch.
No, no one took her seriously.

Poor Woo.

This is Haskell.

This is Haskell after surprising, chasing
and nearly being murdered by 30 wild hogs.

Chillin' on the porch.

Please note the delicately crossed front paws on Lady Alley.

What Woo wore to the Royal Wedding Watching Party.

Haskell pretending to be a water dog.

Muddy paw prints.

Poodles really aren't ranch material.

Neither is Teddy.

Although, Teddy "pretends" better than Lola.

Well...maybe.

It is hard to tell from this picture, but Haskell is completely covered in cow poop. He was very proud of himself. His human companions were less impressed.

Haskell didn't have to bathe alone, though.
This is Alley after wallowing in a mud puddle.

Night, night!
