vote for Riesling!
We entered this photo of Riesling ‘grinning’ into the Snapfish Funny Pets contest.
Voting is open all week, so head on over and give our pup five stars… you have until the end of the day on Sunday, April 13th!

No commentsrelationships according to Facebook
I have been playing around on Facebook for a few months now but Eric has resisted until recently. You’d be surprised as to how much effort it takes to be recognized as ‘in a relationship’ with someone. Eric had to approve me twice and I was given the option of canceling the relationship.

Once Eric approved me he was given the following notification. Thankfully, he had no other relationship requests. :)

stuffed bunny carnage
Riesling was being unusually quiet on her own downstairs this morning and anyone with pets knows that means she’s typically up to something both fun (for her) and naughty.

Bunny!
I nearly laughed out loud, there was so. much. stuffing. Of course, she pulled it all out through a *tiny* hole and frankly I’m not sure how I’m going to get it all back in. Needless to say, bunny is in the stitchery hospital until further notice.

I had her pose by her handiwork and this is how it came out… she looks pretty pleased with herself, no?
1 commentoh, Hillary…
For those of you who haven’t wasted a whole afternoon on the website, hillaryismomjeans.com, here’s your chance.
(You simply refresh the page and each time you get a new “outrageous characteristic” of Hillary Clinton. You can even submit your own!)
This one is for my dad…

(giggle.)
No commentsit wasn’t our fault
We had nothing to do with this. honest. ;)
No commentsdriving topless
Oh behave! :)
Our rental car reservation was for a boring old compact car but we were offered our choice of “premium” cars when we got to the counter. Eric grabbed the sheet and immediately pointed out the PT Cruiser convertible.

Even though it rained on and off during our entire trip we managed to get some topless time on our visit to Anna Marie Island on Tuesday night. And while Eric was giving his talk at Eckerd on Wednesday, I chauffeured gram around downtown St. Pete. It was a warm sunny afternoon, she loved it, and we both had a lovely windblown look about us when I dropped her back off.

What’s not to like?


which would you rather be?
I finally found a wonderful hairstylist to call my very own and whilst sitting in her chair she asked me if I had any kids. I said no, but we did have a dog and she and I agreed that it was a lot of work just to have an animal around, nevermind children.
When I relayed this story to Eric before bed, he said that we were called DINKs—double income, no kids. I countered that we were more like OINKs—one income, no kids.
Gratefully, my freelance work has been steady the last two weeks. Elizabeth was recommended to a big marketing firm in Los Angeles by her old employer and before we knew it, we’ve created an ad campaign for the SPCA. I don’t know how long this good fortune will last, but I plan on enjoying it to the fullest right now.
Maybe we’re MINKs—multiple income, no kids? :)
(I could do this all day.)
No commentsNC Museum of Art, on Google Maps
I heard about this awhile back, but was reminded of it recently… this is the satellite view of the art museum in Raleigh. Notice anything?

They used various elements, including the outdoor stadium and plantings to spell out “PICTURE THIS.” Pretty crafty for an art museum.
No commentsoh, I’m sorry… is this a working office and not a French beach?
The Office premiered last night and it was so worth the wait.
There were many funny lines including the above quote, Michael claiming that he was not superstitious but was more reasonably “slightly-stitious,” and Angela explaining how to deliver meds to her sick cat.
For more laughs, see what the cast did over the summer break by watching this 3 minute video on YouTube.
No commentsTraveler comments
I’m not a big fan of top 10 or top 25 lists, but this one made me laugh out loud so I felt the need to share it: Traveler comments that make you say “Duh!”
Sadly, I’m sure these are all real. I especially like these two:
• Where is the best spot to watch the fireworks in London on the Fourth of July? (Come on, Yank. Just think about this for a nanosecond.)
• I am a vegetarian. Do they have vegetables in Kenya? (It is a strange thing in Africa, countries with two vowels in their names are vegetableless. It is just like some dry counties here in the United States.)
