Oh hi, please comment. Thanks.

Sooooooooo, I know I haven't blogged in a while. But you guys haven't commented in a while! It's no fun preaching to the choir when the choir is a bunch of mutes! okthanksbyeimdonebeingmeannowbye.

SO, life. Life is good. Last night I entered the most fantastic food coma/beer coma ever. We had Outback for dinner (Joshua won a trial, booyah! Got a kid off on his felony and got a teacher in BIG trouble (turns out, HE may be the felon)). I ordered a big bloke Stella Artois, a thousand island salad, a medium rare 6 ounce sirloin with a bleu cheese crust, and green beans. This meal is also known as "heaven." And I ate every last bit of that heaven. Down to the last little speck of bleu cheese.

 Yumm, beeeeer, taaasty (mom, did you show dad the coasters?)

So, the children! How are my children doing? Let's see, one by one.

Miss Tollie: She is doing well! Loving yet independent, as always, with her wonderful little love attacks. Miss Tollie does not really approve of the Ellie, but she tolerates her. Miss Tollie never really tolerates any other animal, because she's in charge of the house :) Here, admire her beauty:


Mr. Parker: Still the cutest, whiniest, most loving little ball of fur that I have ever met. He is still annoyed by the puppy, but he's gotten comfortable with her. He likes to smell her while she sleeps. But when she's awake and in hyper-puppy mode, he stays clear! Or hides, as so:

Wrangler Dog is still as awesome as ever. He freaking adores the Elle-bug. She tries to sleep, and he just wants to play. I think she's bringing out the puppy in him, and it's too cute :) The jealousy is a bit much (any time you give her attention, he jumps between you and the puppy), but he's being good. Such a stud muffin! Admire his studly-ness:

And then there's the newest addition, Miss Ellie. She has gotten sooo much bigger! She can reach the bed now, but still can't jump on it. Is almost brave enough to go down the stairs. She has an unhealthy obsession with chewing shoes and eating goose turds (so.freaking.nasty.). But at 10 weeks old, the lady is housebroken, which is absolutely amazing! And we've only been having to wake up to let her about about once or twice a night. Look at that little baby face:

And Mr. and Mrs. Brian, that's us, are doing well. Joshua is very proud of himself for his court win! He'll be leaving me for a week in August to go to a course at UF (hand selected as the only attorney out of the 32 northern counties his office covers to attend). So proud, but I will be oh so lonely. At least I'll have those four cutie faces to keep me company :)

We're still looking at houses. We talked to the bank about the price range we should be looking at, and it's slightly lower than we'd hoped, but we'll find something! What sucks is we don't qualify for the first time home buyer's assistance program because we make too much money. Ha! Yeah right. Ugh.

I haven't been posting many photos of food lately, because we've been cooking easy, cheap dinners, which seem to repeat themselves (i.e. grilled cheese and tomato soup, spaghetti, tacos, etc.). But no fear folks, we have been cooking and have rarely been eating out! I've been going home for lunch every day since we got the puppy, so I haven't been eating out for lunch either. And Josh has been eating lunch at his office, too. We're saving, saving, saving!

Umm, we saw Harry Potter last weekend and it.was.AMAZING. Please look at our nerdy, terrible, poorly lit photo below in our cool-kid 3d glasses!



Ummmm, so what else has been going on? Work is boring, as usual, except for the stalker my office has. Death threats? Check. Threats to sue? Check. Wacky dosie doe music over the phone? Check. Handwritten jumbled faxes? Check. OH boy, Florida, you produce the wack jobs. Other than that, work = SO BORING. Ugh.

My dinosaur (aka my computer) is getting sleepy now, and I must give it some rest. It's spazzing out and I don't want to lose the blog. So, this marks the end of the blog. Booyah!

Ummmmmmmm, please comment if you read this, just so I know someone actually read it. Thanks <3

  3. You are funny and creative in your blog. Again I ask: How do people make $$ blogging? You should find out and pursue this as a career! Then you could stay home with my grandcritters :) Mommy loves you :)

  4. Well, they make money from the advertisements, but in order to have advertisements, they have to have a lot of followers... I'm just not sure how they do that! Who knows... I want to be a stay at home mommy to my critters, I love them so!
