Always read the directions

Today was the day that I had to turn in my driving violation paperwork to the court. I noticed as I was leaving the house that I didn't follow the directions......which prompted me to be convinced that I was going to show up to find a pair of handcuffs with my name engraved on them. However, the lady who took care of my case was very nice and didn't call the cops to take me away. Whew.

Sting-a-licious

Is Sting getting better looking, or do my eyes deceive me? He and his beautiful wife made an appearance on Oprah today. If you missed it....you missed out.

Cuz' I'm wanted...Dead or Alive

I have to pay a visit to the Leander Municipal Court tomorrow, or a warrant for my arrest will be issued. Hah! I will not give them the satisfaction of dragging my ass down to jail, I will march up to that court house and give them my defensive driving certificate. And then I will drive away from the court house adhering to the mandated speed limit, and following each and every traffice rule. No more speeding tickets for me.

I did it, I turned my application and appropriate paperwork to the local community college. Then next week, I will register for photography classes. I went down there yesterday to turn some paperwork in, and they sent me off to see an advisor, but because I have a degree I get to avoid all of the hassle of orientation and advisors. I'm excited, and a wee bit scared.

Time to carve our pumpkins. I bought three...and one rolled out of the back of my car and smashed with a beautiful thud to the pavement. I told my husband that I was certain I could tape it back together, but he told me to "let it go."

Have you watched the latest Bachelor? Is it me, or does he look a lot like Wil Ferrel dressing up as a goof wad? This Bachelor is sick. Damn, does he have to dry hump every girl there?

Costume Pictures

Here are the pictures of Lola and Jake at the PetsMart Halloween party.

Quick update

I'm off to my last defensive driving class. They have it at a chinese restaurant, so we get to eat dinner while we learn to be better drivers. I'll post an update on the Halloween contest tonight or tomorrow. I will say that we did not win anything, but that is okay because the dogs that won looked amazing.

Harry Pooper and Pumpkin

We're taking Jake and Lola to PetSmart tonight for their Halloween contest. Jake is going to be the dog version of Harry Potter, Harry Pooper. And Lola is going to be a pumpkin. We're recycling her costume from last year. Lola should have won last year, but she was robbed. I'm going to make sure Jake and Lola get some "face" time with the judges. They are so short, it makes it easier for them to go unnoticed. I'm going to play the part of the ultimate stage mother tonight. I'll post pictures and a report on how they did later on tonight!

Wish us luck!!!!!

Pictures

I love going to weddings. I love the anticipation of waiting to catch the first glimpse of the bride...and how pretty every girl looks on her wedding day. It is an amazing honor to be able to share in someone's wedding day. I love it! Which is why, I always take a gazillion pictures when I attend a wedding. The last wedding I went to, I had my digital camera, and five disposables for back-up. The one before that, I did close to the same, only I had six to seven rolls of actual film instead of my digital. I love wedding receptions....all of the dancing, people wanting to pose for pictures together, it is so much fun. I'm not a good photographer...I have zero training. I just shoot what looks interesting. And my lack of training shows....red eye, blurry shots, etc. You name the mistake, I'm sure I make it. So, I'm registering for photography classes, starting in January. I would like to become a wedidng photographer, or maybe shoot unposed portraits of children. I just wanted to put that out there.....now I'm going to bed. I've been up since early this morning, and I'm woozy...so sleepy.

Alex's Sale & Doggy Day Spa

Alex is having one of her online garage sales . She has some good stuff, so check it out.

One more day until the in-laws arrive. We've been working like crazy to make this house presentable. Even the dogs are going through an overhaul. Jake and Lola are at the groomers for the full spa treatment. We want them to put their best paws forward.

Wedding Humiliation

Something funny happened at Nikki's wedding....

All of the single ladies gathered for the humilating bouquet toss. I always hated participating in this event, thank god, my single days are over. And don't even think you can sit it out, because they will hunt you down until you drag your unmarried body up there. After all, if they have to do it, so do you.

Then the Bride tosses the bouquet...

Then one of cute bridesmaid's dress comes undone and she is left trying to hold on to the bouquet and her top at the same time.

You can't see "anything" in this picture, but it was a funny moment. And I love the lady on the left pointing at the poor bridesmaid. I have to give it up to the bridesmaid, she never dropped that bouqet.

Bald Patches

Well, I'm busy running around trying to get this house ready for my in-laws visit. They will be here Saturday and I have a hell of a lot of stuff to do in preparation. While washing the sheets in the guest bedroom, my two demonic dogs managed to go kujo on the mattress pad. As I walked into the room, I thought...geez, where did all of these cotton balls come from? Then when I saw the bald patches on the mattress pad, and saw white tufts hanging out of their mouths, I figured it out. So, I thought I would just post a picture from my cousin Nikki's wedding. She got married back in April of this year.
