Long Time, No See

I know I've been away for a while. I just can't be indoors on the internet when it is so nice outside. Got to enjoy the warm summery weather(yes, summery is a word :)! I've been going to festivals, out on the lake, visiting friends and family, and planning for my next trip. Mexico here I come, i think, if i can make up my mind. I've also been going to bridal showers. People need to stop getting married and having babies. My money only goes so far :). It's getting expensive. I have 3 weddings coming up, ugh. I'm also going back to school. I'm excited, but a little nervous too. I've been away from it for a while now and to think about having to study and take tests again is a little overwhelming. Not to mention the fact that now i have responsibilies and bills....i just can't go to school, but have to work full time too. I just keep telling myself people do it all the time. At least I don't have any kids yet, right. How is everyone's summer going?

Why Rednecks Can't Be Paramedics

A couple of rednecks are out in the woods hunting when one of them suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing; his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other redneck whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "I think Bubba is dead! What should I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy an d follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence . and then a shotgun blast is heard. The redneck's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"

Finnegan, The Squirrel Photos

Finnegan, The Squirrel

For about as long as she can remember, Debby Cantlon says, friends and strangers have brought her animals in need. So it wasn't much of a surprise when someone asked her if she'd care for a newborn squirrel found at the base of a tree somewhere near Renton. Debby Cantlon, who plans to release Finnegan, the young squirrel, back into the wild, bottle-fed the infant squirrel after it was brought to her house. Cantlon, who has cancer, says rescuing injured animals is therapeutic for her. When Cantlon took in the tiny creature and began caring for him, she found herself with an unlikely nurse's aide: her pregnant Papillon, Mademoiselle Giselle. Finnegan was resting in a nest in a cage just days before Giselle was due to deliver her puppies. Cantlon and her husband watched as the dog dragged the squirrel's cage to her own bedside before she gave birth. Cantlon was concerned, yet ultimately decided to allow the squirrel out and the inter-species bonding began. Finnegan rides a puppy mosh pit of sorts, burrowing in for warmth after feeding, and eventually working his way beneath his new litter mates. Two days after giving birth, mama dog Giselle allowed Finnegan to nurse; family photos and a videotape show her encouraging him to suckle alongside her litter of five pups. Now, Finnegan mostly uses a bottle, but still snuggles with his "siblings" in a mosh pit of puppies, rolling atop their bodies and sinking in deeply for a nap. Finnegan and his new litter mates, five Papillion puppies, get along together as if they were meant to. Finnegan naps after feeding. Finnegan makes himself at home with his new litter mates, nuzzling nose-to-nose for a nap after feeding. "Life is a precious gift. Don't waste it being unhappy, dissatisfied, or anything less than you can be." "Too often are we so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey."

The Prescription

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, and walked right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, I would like to buy some cyanide." The pharmacist asked, " Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady replied "I need it to poison my husband." The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! You know, they'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!" The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!" So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!" The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman. The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on . very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?" The guy says, "I don't know about you, but I stepped on a duck!"

The Truth

Well, I was going to post this yesterday, but Blogger had other things in mind. Yesterday I saw the movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It was really, really good. I highly recommend it. I think I'm going to buy it on DVD. The things they bring up in the movie are so true. It made we wonder if I've ever made any of those mistakes in the past. Of course the answer that I'm going to tell all of you is NO(wink,wink). For those of you that have seen it, I'm listening.....For those who haven't seen it yet, watch it, then tell me what you think. Come on, this will be fun :).
