Jake Sully Can Rescue MY Planet Anyday

In honor of Earth Day, aka the DVD release of AVATAR, I was given a very very VERY special gift by my la-de-da friends, Teresa and Paul, to document the occasion.

My very own pocket-sized Jake Sully...

No, I am not that obsessed with this movie...they just have an awesome sense of humor. I laughed so hard - they even got me a card and fancy little bag with tissue paper. Now I can take Jake Sully with me every where I go...the fantasies will be endless.

Best Present EVER!!

(Okay in all honesty it's the best gag gift ever!)

Starring....Me!!!

My cute husband sent me a love note this afternoon - what a keeper, that man :)

Bored Bacardi

I love my dog so freaking much. He is so cute and fun and annoying all at the same time. Since I have been home more than usual you would think he would be able to come inside more often like he was able to when we would get home from work. Such is not the case. With our yard torn up and nothing but dirt, and him getting ready to shed his coat (seriously it comes out by the handfuls with just one shake), there is no way this dog is coming in. So he has become an outside dog except for one or two lucky occasions.

One day I was walking by the sliding door and noticed him on top of his dog house, which is where he is a lot. He just looked so bored and sad that I had to laugh and snap this pic real quick:

It makes me chuckle every time I see it. He's used to being by himself during the day so don't feel too bad. Plus he has the two dogs behind us to keep him company and the neighbors to bark at when they are out on their walks (thanks to the dumb rottweiler behind us, Bacardi has a really bad habit of barking at people through the fence - drives me INSANE!) and I do take him out for walks and go out and toss a ball with him. I promise he gets attention - but just that look on his face - PRICELESS!

Oh I Get It...

I am 26 years old and I finally, finally watched Mary Poppins for the first time in my life. I don't know how it came to be that I have never seen this movie until now but it's true. I really really like watching old classics (I especially dig anything with Frank Sinatra) but I just never had the desire to rent the thing and spend two hours of my time watching it. Until now, I never understood "a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down" even though I have heard it over and over. I always thought that in this movie they would actually be talking about sweetening up some cough medicine to make it taste better. Now I understand that it's a metaphor. How crazy smart do you think I feel right now?

23 1/2

Paul and I took a trip to the dump a couple of weeks ago to drop off a trailer full of junk we've acuired from ripping up our backyard. I have actually never been there. My dad has had to take several trips out there over the years of my life but I have never been able to go. So I found hauling a trailer out there with Paul in the passenger seat, having no idea what to expect, when I came across this:

How freaking hilarious is that? 23 1/2!!! What happens if I decide I want to walk on the wild side and go 23 3/4? Is there a Dump Patrolman on a little moped that's gonna come get me? Oh the hilarity!

Incredible.

I finally fixed the hem on a black skirt that I have. So I wore it today and it made me chuckle thinking about what Paul said about it.

He said everytime I wear it he thinks of Eeyore - because it has a bow on the back of the skirt. I had never thought of that. I found it funny. I think Eeyore is incredibly cute by the way.

What an incredible comparison.

But what is really incredible is my amazing self-butt picture taking.

Nice, yeah?

Heidi = Super Woman

So my good friend and I were walking out of the office to go to lunch and she was on the phone with her daughter...trying to juggle keys and a purse and a bag and papers and people talking to her and her daughter getting mad at her because she's too distracted to listen to her feelings. And this is what it looked like:

That's her...on the phone...and laughing because I whipped out my camera to capture her on the phone with papers glued to the side of her head. So funny. I am sure I didn't help with Heidi's distraction.

Thought I'd share.

I Know We're Cool - You Don't Have to Tell Me Twice.

We finally have a camera! We went and replaced it last Tuesday and this is the stupid stuff we like to do:

I love my hubby :-).

And my mutt.

Gingko Bilablah

My parents have become little comedians in their old age and I find myself laughing really really hard at their little banter. Listening to them laugh and make jokes makes me happy. For example: Monday after work I stopped by my parents home to grab a few things and ended up chatting for awhile. I can't remember what we were talking about but my mom was having a hard time remembering something (jeez, where do i get that from?) and my dad looked at her and said "if you go and get Alzheimer's on me i'm putting you away" and the look on his face made me bust up. So then my mom says "well i guess you better go get me some Gingko Bilablah." and we all start laughing because that's not how you say it but she couldn't remember how to say it which makes the whole conversation that much funnier and we are just laughing and laughing. So my dad starts making fun of her and says "it sounds like your trying to talk Mexican: 'hey Diablo, ginko bilablo senor, por favor.' If it doesn't sound funny to you than I guess it was just one of those 'had to be there' moments. But it really was super funny. I said so.
