helping Solon attack a stuffed moose (sorry Sharni!)

No doubt training Solon to be a gator hunter in case there's a southern PAGAN one of these days! ;)

My beagle (Sarge) jumping into my lap and hitting the keyboard with his paw. He then looked at me as if checking to see if he was going to get in trouble. When he realized he wasn't going to he did it again and then looked at me as if he expected to get a treat for it. Cute little shit. :)

I also got a smile early this morning while watching a local newscast. The weatherman from one of the stations is retiring today after 32 years at the station and they showed some clips from a roast that they had for him last night. Been watching that guy since I was a little IowaBoy. :)

Floating holidays

Floating holidays?

LOL. Extra holiday days that you can take any time you want -- the policy is designed to allow non-Christian denominations to take days off that don't count against their vacation.

Like Christmas...you know, holidays that leave us floating in debt up to our eyeballs? :p

My son on the phone with girls.

Leaving work. God, if only it were forever!

I think I'm easier to please than even I'd realized. We have a date tonight. We're going to Costco and then to dinner and I'm excited about it!

I need to get my nose out of my textbooks more.

Leaving work tonite in warm temps and a sky full of stars!!!

Well, it's early, but we're getting ready to go help make breakfast for a retreat being held in Peoria and we're looking forward to it. :)

Have fun, DB! Need any help with the eatin'? :)



I saw a pit bull in a pink turtleneck today.

My boss calling me to find out how the day went cause I was suppose to have a talk with an employee but after all the BS that went on I thought it best not to chat with her.

The Big Game

I told Mrs Coaster that I knew what you were doing this afternoon!!!! And with a great outcome!!!

seeing one woman flag down another woman to give her a dollar that the first woman dropped when she was shopping.

Having two appointments schedule today for next week :)

You ^^^ have an appointment to be posting right HERE this week! ;)

A man's smile when I blew a kiss at him

This one was actually yesterday afternoon but I'm still smiling at it this morning. While watching the Iowa football game yesterday my beagle showed his sentiments towards the way they were playing better than anything I could ever have screamed that the TV.

Iowa's QB had just thrown his 2nd or 3rd interception of the game and was jumping up and down making a flaming jackass of himself on the field and my dog decided to go right in front of the TV and hike his leg right on the floor almost as if in protest.

Normally he probably would have ended up staying down in the basement for the rest of the afternoon but yesterday it just felt like he was showing me how he felt about the game. Thankfully he did it on the hardwood floor and not the carpet. :rofl:

1nutworld's "Congrats Bucks" thread.

Taking a 90 minute walk through our neighborhood with Mr Osuche, and finding the *perfect* necklace for my 10 year old neice.

Mr Osuche's struggle to hold both my hand and the tea/travel mug as I drove him to the airport.

Watching my dog try to scare a big rabbit in the back yard and then sitting there looking confused because the rabbit just sat there looking at him.

a tipsy phone call last night

Waking up, thinking of my father
