Vermont Bear Company. Hilarious.

Look, I love my iPhone as much as the next girl, but is it really necessary for me to upload my iPhone photos to a site exclusively for iPhone shooters? (See Natuba - iPhone Photo Sharing via TechCrunch)

I guess one benefit is that my contacts on Flickr who are used to seeing the slick stuff from my 5d won’t be all “WTF” when they get a random iPhone shot. I’ll check it out and see if Natuba will blog iPhone pics to this Wordpress blog and then maybe we’ll be in business!

Fajitas at the Hyatt, originally uploaded by cecily7.

Haven’t been here since high school. Sam and I decided to get fajitas after church and I was like, “Damn baby! Let’s go to the Hyatt!”

Spent some quality time at Barton Creek Square Mall today. My good
friend Jennifer is getting married Saturday so there has been much
errand running and excitement.

I was searching for Roycroft roses and came across a whole page full of antique purses. Here is my favorite…

Went to mass early (we sang two services, which is actually more fun for many reasons) and then on our way home we stopped to get Sam some new “nice” clothes because we are having a family photo taken next week. We were starving by that time and I suggested we go to Jason’s Deli right near our house. It just so happens that next door to our Jason’s Deli is the Alamo Lakecreek, and we were there right in time to see Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

Now I remember seeing the first movie and liking it. And don’t get me wrong, there were some funny parts in this one… but I wasn’t exactly GLAD that we went to see it. I actually looked around at the audience as we were leaving to see how many other women had subjected themselves to this blatantly “dude” movie. I do love Neil Patrick Harris but I prefer his Barney character (from “How I Met Your Mother”) rather than his “playing himself which seems to be a lesser version of Barney” act.

By the way, if you don’t watch How I Met Your Mother, you should.

I apologize for posting this but I felt a need to share with you an approximation of what I deal with on a daily basis in preparing “liquid cat food” in a blender each day. My cat Louie is aging and his is no longer able to eat dry food. He can’t even eat wet food. What I have to do is take wet food with “gravy” and blend it into a most unholy “foodshake” for him to drink. It smells like rotten food. I shudder to think what I’m actually blending in my blender. I need to find better quality cat food.

Anyway, this is what the food looks like as I pour it in his bowl. It’s not green, it’s more orange-y brown, but as disgusting as this photo is, it’s not nearly as disgusting as poor Louie’s food.

The yard people came today and did an immense amount of work. Over three hours of cleanup and didn’t even have time to mow. They’ll be back tomorrow to finish off everything and I will never ever let it get that bad again, ever. Promise.

Here’s some random cuteness:

I was excited this morning because I had scheduled some people to come clean up our hideous mess of a yard (we’re talking weeds taller than me) this afternoon at 1:30. I called a week in advance and made the appointment. These are the same people who trimmed the trees in our yard several weeks ago and I was really happy with them (a husband and wife team, plus several workers). At the time she quoted me a price to get the yard cleaned up and so I was eager to work with them again.

I had an appointment today at 11:30, got home at 1pm, and went to work “pre-cleaning” for them. We had a bunch of random stuff on the back porch and I cleaned all of that up, and I moved all the rakes and random stuff into the garage, and I even climbed out onto the ROOF (never did that before) to sweep all the nasty oak pollen off so that it could get swept up with the rest of the mess.

Then I sat and waited. And played with my computer and waited. Made a quick run to the bank, came home, waited some more. Called the owner at 2:45 and she said that they were on a job that was running late but they would be here today. It’s now over 5 hours since they were supposed to be here, and daylight is fading fast. And I have been sitting on my ass all day waiting for these people!

I’m a little bit mad. I don’t think they’ll be able to finish my yard even if they got here right this second… there’s not enough light left in the day. I’m mad.

The end.
