Public Announcement

I have been self appointed to the position of your liaison to the missionaries in The Bush. So if you are like me and go to their site with fingers crossed looking for adventure updates you will be most surprised to find new info from emails that I have gotten over the past month or so. Hopefully this will take a load off M&D and when they get the internet up and running in their apartment they can add posts or just comment on the stuff I put up. Then we can all enjoy hearing from them and all the fun they are having!
I asked the neighbors to come over and check out the carbon monoxide detector cuz it keeps going off and as Bro Knock was playing with the malfunctioning box (that's all it was, I wasn't in danger of peacefully drifting off in a toxic type nap so no worries!) I filled them in on the latest from Johannesburg and since they liked hearing about the missionaries I figured the idea take over the PBPB Blog was a good call. That in mind and a comment from Heather today sealed the deal. The decision was decided.

Gooseberry & Guacamole

After a quick morning of painting a baby nursery I took the rest of the day off to head up to Zion to go camping with my new friend Tony and a bunch of his friends.

When we got to the campsite Tony, his two buddies Brad and

Glen and I drove up to a trail called Guacamole on the west side of

Springdale to go mountain biking.

I had no idea what real mountain biking is all about. What I have been doing around home is like a walk in the park compared to what we were up to this weekend.

Luckily the guys were really patient with me and taught me a lot about how to use my gears and shifting my weight back to go down the steep rocks. I love it! I'm hooked!

Friday's ride was more fun for me because it was less technical than the trail we did Saturday. We did Gooseberry Mesa Saturday and when I told Laurie where we rode she was pretty amazed. She said in the biking magazine she subscribes to, Gooseberry is one of the top ten most difficult trails in the nation. Wow. I think I carried my bike more than I rode it! But I had a blast trying to ride and now I can say I've been there. I already want to go back.
This is my knee. It looks pretty doesn't it? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I hit my knee on my bike ALL time!

Saturday night we went to see Peter Breinholt perform at Tuacahn.

I gave a talk today in church. I think it went alright. {You know how you really can't remember anything once it is over?} But I wasn't near as nervous as I've been in the past, mostly I was excited for the challenge and trying to get across the information I had studied. I think having to talk so much the last couple of years has helped me find a process that works for me to get over the nerves of getting up there. Doing what I will call the 'wet run' before seems to help. If I read my talk out a couple of times the day of I can get out some loose tears so I can be in more control when it counts. Mom and Dad called me at just the right time this morning so I practiced it on them. They are a good audience with helpful hints. I got to a part where I said 'Taking the sacrament should not be a passive experience.' Dad pipes up, That's important! Highlight it! So I did. He passed a long a couple great quotes that I also used. It's so good to have a seminary wizard on hand! And Mom, I gave you credit for my tears, blaming heredity.

Slacker!

I think that is the longest I've ever gone with out an entry since I started my blog. And it's not like I wasn't thinking about it, but what could I say? I was enjoying my routine but not much was happening other than the usual.
Grey's was fun tonight huh Heather? So looking forward to the two hour special next week!
Work has been really nice and relaxing. A lot of down time which is exactly what I've needed this week. I'm talking on Sunday so I've spent a lot of my free time studying. I am my fathers daughter! It has been so fun learning more about my topic. (the sacrament)
I've also been out on Rodeo Boys bike the last few evenings after work. I have it as a trial to see if I like it enough to buy it from him. I don't think I do, but I'm still riding it. Can't stop myself. I'm addicted! And I'm finding that there are a lot of trails around home to explore so I can just hop on the bike and wander off. Today I went towards the golf course thinking I would have to turn around and ended up on a four wheeler trail that runs along the cliff above the river. I'm finding all kinds of cool places around here to play. True, the lava rock isn't exactly what I'd call a smooth ride but it is training me to stay on the bike even when it gets bumpy. My first reaction is to jump off but I'm getting better at just going faster when I get scared. Yeah, sounds crazy but it works. I wanted my camera so I could show you were I was. Mom and Dad will know where I'm talking about but it is so breathtakingly beautiful out there I want to show you guys. I'll take my backpack next time.
The photo is of some art I whipped up for a client we are doing a few projects for. I didn't want to spend a lot of time on them cuz I don't think I'll be compensated for them. I know, such a slackers way of thinking about a project, I guess I'm a little tired of painting for nothing. I am working on another project for her too. This one will be more fun. I'll post pics when I get done.

Rice Pudding

I was totally channeling my mom this morning when I got up to make some rice for the dinner I cooked for a bunch of my friends today. I made way too much rice as I usually do but instead of putting it all in a tupperware where it would normally die a cold lonely death at the back of the fridge, I pulled out my moms handy recipes and made my very first solo attempt at her rice pudding. Yummy stuff I think, and my rendition turned out not at all too bad. I hope. I am always a little leery of cooking for my friends. What if they aren't my friends anymore after I cook for them? I almost killed them once when I decided to use the spaghetti fixings I'd received as a white elephant gift this last Christmas, only to find out the people who gave them to me got them for their wedding. In 2002. Ooops. We all took a bite and put our forks down, no one wanted to say anything so as not to hurt my feelings. But I just busted up laughing... how was I supposed to know? I didn't think Callee was grasping the concept of the funny gift and gave me a nice gift instead. Joke was on me!
But they are all still alive tonight. Well, at least I hope they are.
Now what I really need to do is figure out how my mom makes her cookies. I've tried her recipe bunches of times and my cookies never come close! I wouldn't worry about it except my stock of frozen cookies that she left for me is dwindling and I'm starting to panic!

Finally Ever After

Tada! Here they are finally. The After photos.

I know I said a couple of days ago the job couldn't have gone better, but that was mid job. Now having it completed I can say that it was by far the funnest job I've done and it went so smoothly I am still in awe that we can finish a room in under a month and it doesn't have to be the long drawn out process it used to be when Jana was trying to do it all herself. Honestly, what was she paying me for? Now I feel like I've found my stride and we are more of a team. My new more active roll in things has totally made a difference in how I feel about my job. I love being with the client and solving issues for them, even if it is just about a disagreement over tassels. I realized something, Jana and Kim never spoke once on the phone and met only once before we started buying for the job. That is a huge change in how things used to go.

Yesterday we walked through the rooms with Kim and Cory to go over any concerns or elements we might improve and they didn't have anything they wanted changed. They loved it all! YEA!

The entry way didn't need much at all. We added the potted topiaries and an iron wall piece to the existing art and rugs. Simple and elegant.

We did window treatments on the main level (7 windows total!) Kim couldn't decide what she wanted to do with the wall above her piano. They couldn't agree on art so a huge mirror was an easy fix. What do you think of those candle holders Michele? ;)

My favorite part of the project was the master suite. Probably because it was the biggest change and it was really drastic when it was finished. The decorative finish in the bedroom turned out beautifully if I do say so myself. The suede finish makes the room feel soft and inviting and the color scheme is rich with all the jewel colors and the champagne light golds.



In the bathroom I would have chosen a different

paint color but I lost on this issue and the green eventually grew on me. I used a high gloss finish so it helped win me over because it worked with the spa retreat type feel we were

going for.

Technical Issues

Maybe I just wasn't meant to show you the after photos of this job? I had the post finished and ready to go when my internet decided to be unreliable and poof! it was gone. Then I just tried again and the pics won't come up. I'm only giving up for the night. I will be back again shortly...

Result Hold Up

I know you guys are all just dying to see the pics from this job and believe me, it is shaping up nicely... BUT we cut our day short due to the usual insanity that is Jana's life and the first migraine I've had in 2 months has put my life to a grinding stop. OK. Not really. I'm very ok considering the Pit of Despair worthy torture of the old headaches vs the mild pansy type I find myself enjoying today. I just couldn't concentrate on work. So instead we called it an early day and I've been chillin trying to take it easy and banish the evil that is my migraine torture.

So I thought instead of the finished product I'd post the before pictures now to let them marinate. You can get a taste for that blah that was, so you can appreciate fully the very cool transformation you'll see shortly. Oh, and MDK, I know you are looking for the promised Hoze Beast. It's coming. That's a threat btw :)

Family Nite

Today went so smoothly I kept waiting for a bomb to drop to make things seem a little more familiar! I seriously could not believe my luck. I didn't really know what to do with myself.
I was overseeing The Client's curtain rods and other wall stuff being hung today and I must say I really enjoyed myself. Normally the day it all comes together and we 'move in' I get really frazzled and start hating my life. But there was a HUGE difference today because I had 'hired muscle' to do all the stuff I hate! I passed around a note in sunday school asking for some guys willing to come work for a few hours today and it turned out to be the best move ever. I found myself being able to spend more time paying attention to the details of making the rooms come together better instead of fighting tears of frustration on top of a ladder trying to drill only the required hole instead of 7 in attempt to hang a silly curtain rod!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we really dive in and do the fun decorating stuff. I'll put up some pics afterwards.
I even got done in time to go to FHE. And since I've never gone before I actually went to the wrong ward for a little bit. Then another wrong ward...I just kept wandering around the church looking for familiar people. I finally found them and I guess no one knew what was going on really so I went went to dinner with a few people instead. Thai food. I finally got the curry I've been craving.

Paint Fumes

I've had a fantastic weekend so far. I have a new favorite sport. Mountain Biking. I know Dad. Couldn't I pick something a little more calm like badminton or something? I'm totally hooked though. And really, those birdies could be potentially dangerous too.

St. George has a paved trail system that goes around the city. I've heard it will eventually go as far as Hurricane and sometimes I even hear it will go to Zion. How cool would that be? We'll see. Our rumor mill works over time. We finally got an Olive Garden this year. I've been hearing about it since I moved here almost 7 years ago! The bridges for the trail have all been replaced finally since the flood in 2005 so I'm excited to spend a day sometime soon and do it all again.)

Laurie and I took the trail nearest her home then weaved our way through a neighborhood and got onto a desert trail that she and Rick do a lot. She told me that she wouldn't laugh at me if I walked my bike on the harder parts but I felt pretty confident keeping up with her. She rides all the time so she is really good. We saw a horny toad and of course I had to catch it right? When I lived with her I brought home a mean lizard and named him Eddie. I let him wander around in my room like a house cat. Eddie was the meanest lizard I've ever met. He bit me at one point and left lizard teeth marks in my thumb nail. Not cool. I eventually took him to the river because we weren't getting along.

The ride back to her house was my favorite part. All down hill and we were flying. I usually have a fear of my front tire flying off my bike when I get going, but since I was on one of her nice bikes I wasn't too concerned.

So I've added a mountain bike to my short list of Needs. Not Wants. (another Dadism, and yes, it belongs in the need category. :)

Today I spent the day at a clients home working on this wall. I actually bid the job more than a year ago and so I was surprised to hear from them last week.

I think it turned out pretty cool. The room is a small one so it wasn't a lot of work.

It's an interesting process, one of my favorites actually. The texture is made with tissue paper. I can only paint the surface as big as the tissue paper so it's not the fastest process. Then because I lay the paint on thick to bond the paper to the wall, then coat it with another layer of paint it takes longer to dry.

I went rollerblading while I waited for it to dry. I think I got a couple of looks from other people on the trail since I had red paint up to my elbows. I probably looked like I was bleeding?

I went back and put the the glaze finish on and called it a day. My client loved it. She spent the last part of the day watching me. That makes me nervous! I usually tell them right off I don't like it but didn't know how to tell her that. It's her house...

I missed my mom on this one. She has been a wonderful help on a lot of projects and doing this kind of wall is one where she would have been very useful! I was up and down the ladder a thousand times and she makes the day go by faster because she is fun to have around. But I think the work she is doing now is more important don't you?

chal mogo sayo

I ate very well. Or something like that. And boy did I ever! I ran an emergency Vegas run today for that client I've mentioned a few times already. We bought out all the curtain rods at Target in St. George (yes, we have such sophisticated hookups as decorators) so I called 3 stores in Vegas before I found one who had enough to meet my needs then drove down to get them. Since Jana couldn't come with me I got to eat where ever I wanted and so I chose my favorite Korean BBQ on the strip. It was the highlight of my trip. That, and Express was having a sale so I got a really pretty sweater for 10 bucks, normally $50. Score!

I didn't make it home in time for Grey's and haven't checked abc.com yet to see if it was a rerun or not but I have a sneaking suspicion it was. But I did catch Notes from the Underbelly. Any one else see that? Any reviews? I dunno what to think yet, but I'll probably watch it again because the whole baby thing is curious to me. Could be a fun show, I guess it depends on how clean they keep it.

OK! The thing that has me typing really fast and practically bouncing out of my chair is the email I just got from Heather. WE HAVE TO GO STAY WITH HER AND SEE WICKED!!! Are you girls as excited as I am???? I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight!! I think it sounds like a blast! So, if you aren't excited yet, GET EXCITED!! LET'S GO!!

easy reading

I'm not saying these books are easy reading, I'm saying it's easier to tell you about what I'm reading than what I've been up to lately. And probably a lot better PR than telling you Rodeo Boy has serious issues and I rather eat glass than date right now! :)

OK. No, not really, it isn't that bad. I'm just being dramatic because I'm tired. I am actually enjoying my misadventures. And I know I'm creating entertainment for my friends who have all become more interested in my life these days. If anything else I talk to my friends a lot more because they all check in for a random story every now and again and of course I can oblige! Amy called me the other day totally depressed from suffering through four months straight of morning sickness. She was saying by the end of the call, OK OK I'll take the hugging the toilet any day! I AM SO LUCKY! I LOVE YOU NICK! Anything I can do to help my friends appreciate their spouses!

I actually got that eating glass bit from the Rice Mother and I would consider myself super talented if I could eat glass like the snake charmers son. The story is set in Malaysia around the time of the Japanese occupation. It is told so beautifully. I have a constant craving for curry and mangoes. It's also one of the saddest books I've ever read but I'm so curious I can't put it down.

I had a friend in grade school who was Hindu and I thought she was the most mysterious girl alive. Divia Ramachandran. I loved going to her home and the rituals I would find there. I found it strange that we couldn't wear shoes in certain rooms. She couldn't eat beef and she could only wear nail polish on her left hand because the right has is used considered sacred. One sleepover stands out in my memory. Her dad had pierced her and her sisters ears recently and was ready to pierce mine too if my parents would allow it. He was going to take care of it down in the basement. I remember how nonchalant he was about it, thinking back I wonder how serious he was? I pictured a torture device of some kind, but I was all for it! I think he even called my parents to ask if I could? If I'm remembering right they showed up shortly after to take me away? :) Maybe not, but this is in my memory all the same.

Juicing the Orange is a great book so far too. It's all about how you can advertise creatively and make waves with out spending a fortune. Why might I be reading about advertising? I love it! I think it is a really cool line of work and I've always been curious about it, so there you go. That and I've decided to read an informative type book every other book now.

OK. Well, I just tried to share a story with you but I was feeling long winded and couldn't make it kosher to a purely friendly environment. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. :)

Happy Easter All

Easter isn't one of those holidays that feels strange if you spend it alone. I think it's given me more time to reflect on the signifacance of this holiday. I totally enjoyed my sunday school lesson today about the symbolism behind Palm Sunday and all the other good things that go a long with this time of year. Neat stuff. Have I mentioned lately how much I love knowing the truth?

Let me tell you a funny story that happened at church today. I can't remember if I've already mentioned this, but I'm back in the same singles ward I was in before. My bishop made it a point to make sure I felt welcome there. I really appreciate his friendship, he's a good guy. So I was just minding my own business enjoying the meeting and a guy caught my eye. I'm sure everyone was looking at him, his face looked like a punching bag. I was pretty curious so I decided I'd find him in sunday school and get the scoop. Only he came and sat on my bench when he was done with the sacrament. First he was sitting by his buddy a few feet away, then more buddies joined them thru out the meeting and next thing I know he's right next to me. Sweet, I'm definitely getting the story now. He tapped me and asked for a piece of paper so I gave him one and he was scribbling away, gave it back to me, then stood up to bare his testimony. On the paper it said, 'Thank you for the piece of paper, I just wanted to tell you how amazing you look today. You are a beautiful woman.'
WHAT?! Whoa, this so does not happen in the family ward does it? After he bore his testimony I passed the note back to tell him thanks and a couple more passes back n forth and he's asked me to scratch his back with my kickin red nails. What is this? Whats going on? This isn't normal is it? I accused him of doing this to all the unsuspecting new girls, he's some kind of back scratching player right? (Before you can accuse me of not paying attention to the testimonies being shared I'll clarify that the note passing was brief and not too big of a distraction except I guess I was a little surprised by the whole turn of events, wouldn't you be?)
I'm hanging out with him tonight so I hope I'll get more of the story. The guy must be on some heavy pain killers. He was kicked 5 times by a steer yesterday at the rodeo.

I boiled some eggs in the spirit of things, and I just finished eating dinner. I had an invitation from my sweet bishop and his wife to go with their family to her sisters for dinner. I think I would have if I hadn't already been looking forward to cooking one of my favorite meals. Pan seared pork chops drizzled in raspberry chipotle and cooked in the oven over a bed of rosemary from the back garden (isn't it all in how you say it? presentation is key) So yummy. I just finished my dinner and enjoyed it mucho.

I loved this cartoon, my friend has it up on her blog cuz she just broke up with a guy she knew she wasn't supposed to be dating but it still hurts I would think. Way to go Peach!

I snagged it because I think it goes really great with my life these days too. I'm finding out a bunch about myself as I meet so many new people and put myself out there. One thing I know is that I do tend to give my heart away easily but that is something I'm not going to change (no this does not mean I'll be jumping into anything again!) I'm learning some things the hard way and since I do like to analyze things I think I saw some of my lessons coming from a mile away but decided to let them play out anyway because what do I have to lose? I would so much rather dare to feel something than to be so guarded I miss out in life. I've struggled with feeling too much this week and I thought I might suffer a blow to my confidence but I was surprised today when I did a reality check and realized I'm completely OK and actually feel better than ever. Go figure. Since when have I been this strong? Must have happened when I wasn't looking! Bring it on!

Before & After

After the regular Saturday cleaning/laundry/wandering around the house looking for trouble I decided I'd go out on my bike and find out how far I could go on a trail I'd noticed close to home. The parents have tried this trail but only a very short way in you have to cross a river and I think they turned around at that point. Not me. I carried my bike up and down a levy type thing made out of huge lava rocks, then dragged it up the really steep parts and set off on an adventure. It was good fun, I found myself on the other side of Hurricane when the trail ended. I could see Leeds and Smith Mesa when I decided I'd gone far enough. I was riding along towards home when I realized I was unconsciously looking around for my dogs every now and again, catching myself wanting to yell out to them to catch up. I did this a bunch of times before I admitted to myself that my adventures just aren't the same with out them. That lead me to think about how grateful I am that they found a caring family. It really is the little things that make me realize how blessed I am.

When I got home I decided the palm trees needed some help. Due to
our unusually frigid winter all the palms look really awful around here. The ones along the street look completely dead so I was happy to see new green parts poking out the top of these two and thought I'd get rid of the ugly dead stuff. They look a little naked but healthier right? I hope that wasn't a bad thing to do to them.. I didn't ask anyone and no one else has trimmed back the dead stuff yet. I snipped off just one branch to see if I could. And I liked it. Next thing I know the thing is looking pretty slim. Any one need their palm trees trimmed? I kinda like it!

Mexi-Ice

My new favorite snack: MEXI-ICE. Have you ever heard of this wonderful stuff? I never had until last night. My friend Laurie and I were out wandering around last night and she decided to clue me in on a world I didn't know existed! :) Excited? yes. You be the judge. Taco Time, Mexi-Ice. Order the large. You won't be disappointed. I am so hooked. I almost made a detour on the way home last night to get another one. I don't even know what it is. Is it ice cream? Is it an icee? Maybe it's both... I will definitely be spending some time getting to the bottom of this mystery.

Laurie is my friend that got married a couple of weekends ago so I was getting the scoop on the whole event and Carmel by the sea, where they spent some time on the honeymoon. I want to go there now! Want to meet me there Heather?

I went to see her new place and help her decorate a little bit. She didn't need my help at all, her style is so fun. We hung up a massive mirror in the hallway that required a trip to the home store, the grocery store and my office as well. Very extensive project right? But it looks fabulous now.

We've always had fun comparing our rooms, especially when we lived together because our tastes are pretty different. The picture of us I included is from when we lived together. Her and Tera have been my favorite roommates of all time. We were always out biking or having fun at home cooking. I liked giving the constant flow of admirers for laur a hard time. That girl got more flowers and love struck guys than you could imagine. Tera even taught me how to rope in the front yard. The picture was taken on one of my last nights living there. We went dancing every weekend and danced we did! Danced our little hearts out. They still tease me about that since I've never been a great dancer but what do I care? I miss my long hair! You can't see it cuz the longer part blends in with my shirt but it was the longest I've ever grown it.

Ok, back from memory lane.... She thinks my style is more eclectic and romantic and I think hers is modern traditional. There is a term for that you know. It's Rococo Vision. She is even in on the latest color that will be making it large on the color palates the next few seasons. GRAY! I love it! I was reading that gray is more elegant than black. Go figure. I love this stuff. I devour all the trade magazines that I get in the mail. It's great hearing about the newest stuff going on. I got totally excited reading about the updates on the Vegas market in July and found an article announcing a Frank Gehry building will be built next door. Sweet. The guy is amazing! It's going to be a brain research facility. Doesn't look too much like the Guggenheim, but you can get an idea of how stinkin cool this building is going to be.

We went to the St. George annual art festival for a little while too. The clouds were getting pretty ominous so the artists weren't taking any chances and started to close up early. We'll go again today. Her husband Rick is a bike cop so he rode down to Main street where the festival is held to eat a hot dog and hang out for a minute with us. After leaving the festival we drove around a bit in the Spring Break crowd watching the teenagers try too hard. We stopped a few times to harass the other bike cops along our way. Laurie drives the nicest mustang ever. The tint is way to dark for utah law, any one else would be fined over and over again. Being IN with the cops has it's perks huh? What would it be like to be untouchable? I tried dropping Ricks name when I got pulled over by my 'friend' and it didn't do me any good at all. Oh Laurie, the charmed life of a cops wife.

TGIF!

Succulents are my latest attempt at gardening. After killing my second batch of daisies I thought I'd go a different route with these bad boys and since my dad drilled some holes into this awesome zen style container for me before he left I thought I'd try my hand at some more indoor fauna. I don't think there is anything wrong with having too many plants right? {It's not the same as having lots of cats right?} My much loved gardenia plant has yet to amaze me. Patience.

I think I've resorted to talking about my plants because I'm burnt out on work. It's friday and after a very long week I have a side job tomorrow so I rather talk about cute little growing things instead of paint and other stuff I normally love.

Add this to my chaos please. Since my last post about my house I was talked in to taking the house off the market and now due to some unpleasant circumstances I'll be signing some papers today to put it back on the market. Just think, I could possibly have sold it already by now!

MAX AND GIBSON GOT ADOPTED!!!!

I got an email today from someone I didn't know and instantly fell in love with her and her pack of dogs. She sounds like the nicest lady ever. Over the weekend she went to some kind of adoption extravaganza in Vegas and was just about to leave when her friend told her she had to come see the sweetest hound dogs ever. My boys!

Prayers are answered in the craziest ways. The picture is unrelated to the story, just part of my day today. I did another painting project today. My life is truly blessed with wonderful people, good work and crazy things to keep my laughing and crying all the same.

Rosco the Rat

Only Monday and I'm already ready for the weekend! I never suffer from the dreaded monday blues but today I was buried by work and things I need to get done so I was feeling a little rushed and a bit more than tired. It's been go go go since I woke up this morning and now it's already 11:26 pm and I don't know what happened to my day! Does it sound like I'm complaining? I'm not. I rather be busy, but I'll like it more when I have some of the stuff tucked away in my accomplished pile instead of looming pile of things to be done.

I missed Cheryl's big day, the second wedding of my wedding season this past weekend. Details as to why I missed it are yet to be released, but I wanted to put up one of my favorite images she had sent me last week anyway because I think she is a beautiful bride.

Signe and I were having our afternoon chat (yes, I'm never too busy for a chat so it couldn't have tooo terribly busy today right?) when our landlord came to visit. After talking about the important things like Burning Flesh Staph Infections and the latest on her never ending leg surgeries, she told us she has sold the building we call our home away from home. I've dreamt of the Lemley's selling because as much as I like shooting the breeze with Sheila and teasing Loyd, the place is too much for them. It wouldn't hurt to get someone new in there to modernize the place so I'm looking forward to hopefully some good changes there.

Signe just got back from a huge week in Vegas and we had much to catch up on. She told me about a new venture they will be working on for the next couple of weeks and asked me to help out. I like being involved with projects they work on since they are very creative and motivated besides being really cool people to be around. I'll write more on that as it evolves. I'm already syked, it's going to rock.

I raced from project to project today so I could make it home as early as possible. I have a little friend staying with me (only for 2 more days, no worries mom and dad) while his family is out of town.

Rosco is a silly dog. I don't understand him really. I guess I'm used to my big dogs who would come to me, for the most part, when called them and weren't in the least bit scared of their own shadows. Rosco cowers in fear if I talk to him the wrong way. I tried to get him to run with me but he's to big of a sissy and had to be carried home after half a block of much panting and crying.
And that is my entry... I'll have better stuff to talk about someday soon I'm sure.
