DING DONG

In my loudest singing voice I would like to proclaim "DING DONG THE MOUSE IS DEAD, THE WICKED MOUSE IS DEAD" while skipping around the house and doing a happy dance! The mouse that has plagued our home life exsistence for the last stinkin' month is finally caught!! Like Amy and her fruit flies, I tried every trap and bait out there. I was just about to resort to borrowing a cat to take up temporary residence in our home, which would have probably sent Boone over the edge. The good ol' sticky trap was the key to my success. HAPPY FRIDAY!

Fashionista

Little Miss Trendy is strutting around in her footed jammies in retro prints and colors, her new pink cowgirl boots and multiple strands of dress-up pearls that belong to her cousins Peyton and Maddie. It is what all the fashion savvy ladies are wearing this season.

Think before you drink.

These days my "me" time is spent surfing and reading blogs, rather than doing something more productive or interesting. Recently, I came across this. Now this comes with a warning! It is kinda gross in a nature sort of way, but it is also funny and doesn't contain foul language or nudity. You may feel nauseated afterward, but will be so grateful that it you were not the woman who wrote this. Bottoms up!

Watching Spongebob Squarepants with Grandpa

Grandpa Dave and his 2 youngest granddaughters were mesmerized by the SBSP marathon.

Cross Country Race

I ran a really fun cross country race this weekend. There were many participants. Nearly 7,000 of them. A race new record.

Some of them were dressed in crazy costumes. Note the nut with no shirt and bunny ears below.
This was my team. We all work together in Urology. We named ourselves the "Stream Team". Not because we were going to be running across streams later.
The real crazy nut in the middle wore no shoes...for the whole race. I made sure NOT to get behind him. I did NOT want to find out if he bothered to put on underwear.
Then there was this...man...woman...person.

There were creeks to cross.

And hills to climb. I am a "middle-of-the-pack" runner, so it was slow going when it came to the obstacles due to the volume of racers.

And there were more creeks to cross.

And more creeks to cross.

Until you end up looking like this guy covered in mud.

After 7 miles of pure muddy fun, I reached the finish line. I felt pretty fortunate. My training consisted of running a total of 7 miles over the last 3 months.

Definitely the most fun race I have ever participated in. And the only race that I have ever run in long underwear and wet shoes.

U dub knows something about passwords

I stumbled across this article about password strength. Very informative! I immediately realized that most of my passwords could be hacked in mere seconds. The anal retentive, overly cautious, ultra conservative side of me, concocted a new, very strong and complicated password on the spot and changed as many accounts as I could actually remember the password to. I suggest you all go out and do this. However, I also suggest you tell your significant other that you have now upgraded your password security as to avoid chaos when they try to log in to check an online account. The anal retentive, overly cautious, ultra conservative side of me obviously needs to learn some courtesy.

To Grandma's house we go...

Fischer in action

F: "Hey little lady, how'er you doin?"

F: "Anyone ever tell you what pretty eyes you have?"

A: "Watch it mister! I don't kiss on the first date!"

"Jeez Lady! Enough with the camera!"
