They threatened to go metric several years ago, so far it hasn't happened altho some beverages are marked in liters. I just went to my fridge and got out a bottle of water , on the bottom it says , Net 33.8 Fl Oz(1Qt 1.8 Fl Oz)1l. Why do they want to mess with our heads ?

Planning on going to the grocery store today and buy a bunch of balloons for a pretend birthday party...gonna "fake" the idea that I hooked them up to my dogs while I stopped to tie my shoe on the walk home....one dog gets free....other sails outta site.....gonna hide her in her crate while the search goes on....

as soon as I figure out the ending on how she came home I will submit myself for a reality show....

The ending is that she lands somewhere in the midwest and rescues Timmy from where he fell down a well.......

LOL!!!!

Ronni ever since these dogs of mine were puppies, and would get all excited about something, they run around the room barking at me...I have always said, excitedly, "What is it girls? Is Timmie in the well? Timmie's in the well?...we better go get him".....

Now I have my Reality show script!


I will share my profits with the crazies!!

I've been saying the same thing to my doggage for years! They kind of cock their heads to the side and look at me as if I'm a nutcase. perceptive buggers, aren't they?

Balloon thing turned out to be a hoax or not?

I stubbed my toe on the side of the tub @ 5:30 am. NOT a good way to start a cold frosty monday morning! I had to scrape the van windows. And the babysitting kids showed up with no coats only thier hoodies. Therefore I can run around today looking like the neglectful caregiver of twin boys. But hey I can say I earned a nice glass of wine this evening!

Hows your monday morning going?
