Slobberin Time!

I call this one "the view from my treadmill."

I think we can all give up the idea that I'm ever going to start posting pictures everyday again, but loads of stuff has been going on recently and I felt the need to share.

First, we got a dog. If you're friends with my wife then you've seen pictures of her. She's a half Newfoundland and half Golden Retriever (we think.) She's a small black speck so we named her Dot. I was nervous about getting her, but it turns out she's among the best tempered puppies I've ever seen. She doesn't bark for no reason, she is about 90% housebroken, and she's already crate trained. That last one is a biggie. The problem with Chickenhead was that he barked all damn night and wouldn't let us sleep. Dot seems to enjoy her crate quite a bit & sleeps quitely through the night in it.

Second, our favorite moochers came over and stayed with us for a few days. Matt and Dani Lott returned to our fair country and stayed in our guest room for a few days. We laughed, we cried, we all grabbed our balls and spat.... except Dani.

Third, I kinda sorta got a new job. I'm still working for UPS and I'm still in the HR department and I'm not getting a raise, but I will be reporting to someone else and doing other stuff eventually. As long as I get to keep doing orientation (at least the classroom portion) I'll be happy.... however if I never see another "request page" as long as I live I will die a happy man.

Sometimes I feel compelled to post something but have no content.

This is my breakfast smoothie. I make this every morning. It's delicious and full of the nutrients a growing boy needs.

I was going to take a picture of the blender, but I couldn't find the camera in time.

We sold the bed upstairs and bought an awesome sofa bed. It's a transformer, not unlike Optimus Prime. Someday it too will save the earth..... and provide our friends with comfortable sleeping quarters.

Arguing over the tennis ball

This is Eli. I call him Elizabeth because he is a wuss and cant take the sock out of my hand.

Eli is our dear friend Natalie's dog. Today Nattie couldn't get out of work due to the horrible little shits she has to teach everyday so she put Jo and I in charge of taking her dog out for a brief constitutional & to take a dump. Upon getting to Natalie's place we were immediately attacked with love and affection from one of our favorite dogs. This can only mean one of two things:

a) Eli has a good memory, likes Jo and I very much, and was genuinely glad to see us or
b) Natalie has the WORST GUARD DOG EVER

It may be a combination of the two.
