Jack got a haircut.

Before


After



Poor pooch. His fur had become too matted and with summer coming it seemed the most appropriate time to shave it all off. I think it looks adorable, but Shelties are known for their lovely mane's so I can't help but feel a little guilty. But Jack doesn't seem to mind in fact he almost seems happier, if that makes any sense.

Happy 29th!

Tom had a birthday yesterday. We were fortunate enough to have our best friends Kyle and Donna over for the weekend. They were awesome enough to pay for a very nice dinner out on Saturday, so thanks Kyle and Donna for that! Tom and Kyle rocked out to Guitar Hero most of the weekend while Donna and I played with the kids(Cadence and Andrew) and went shopping. It was a very laid back weekend. For Tom's Birthday we dined on pulled pork sandwiches. Thanks to Jack and Mary(Tom's parents) for the smoker! I made a German chocolate cake which was quite excellent if I do say so myself. I can't believe that one of us(luckily not me!) is going to be thirty next year! I love you Tom and am glad you had a great birthday!

OK he's not a girl, it was part of Cadence's dress up, but we couldn't resist the photo op!

Don't know quite what makes it German, but it was yummy :)

Tom and Kyle pretending to be *coughs* ...I mean being rock stars. Watching Kyle's reaction to being able to play the Halo theme on Guitar Hero was priceless!

Election 2008

Why is this election not more exciting? This is the type of election people have dreamed about for years-"What if a woman or a black man became president?" In all fairness, politics has never been a passion of mine. But I do not think I am the only one who thinks this election is dare I say....boring. Obama is supposed to be so elloquent and inspiring...I just don't feel it. And is it wrong I don't even think of Hillary as a woman, she just seems like one of the guys. And McCain, well lets just say I am a republican who is sick to death of republicans. My only comfort is that you really can't go wrong with whoever you vote for. Anyone would be better than our current president(Oh don't even try to tell me you like him!).

Dreams for the Dreamers.

This is my dream car. Not a Firrari or an Escalade, but just a really nice new Toyota Camry. But alas it is not in the cards for me....yet. I currently drive a 1999Toyota Camry which I love. And the fact that there is nothing wrong with it and that there is no more payments attached makes it all the more attractive to me. I am determined to drive it until it dies or reaches 250,000 miles whichever comes first. Until them my dream car will have to wait, but I can always admire....isn't it pretty?
