Yeah, they lay eggs.

I just said a couple of weeks ago to a girl I work with, "You know geckos are reptiles, so I know they lay eggs, but I've never seen any." Low and behold I saw some. And it was sick. Thank you gecko for sicking me out.

I've also seen a lot of smashed bird eggs in the last couple of weeks. That's sad.

Tonight we ordered pizza. Of course our furocious guard dog had to bark her fool head off when she heard the doorbell ring. Unfortunately we can't get our front door open right now because it's swollen (one of the joys of humidity). I had to struggle to pull the back door open (which is so hard to open, that I've actually developed a callous on my hand from it) and Coca ran out with me. Coca and I turned the corner around the side of the house and, seriously, the pizza man jumped like three feet!! Then he said, "You little rat!" I took the pizza and gave him his money. He then told me she looks like some character off of Ice Age. I guess that character was scary for him because I can still see (and I'm still giggling at) his "scared face." Horror movies about six pound dogs are often on the shelf right next to Freddy Krueger and Jason so I can totally see how she could make him pee in his pants a little. I mean, that's the stuff nightmares are made of!

Some Tips for Summer Fun

Flies sometimes fly down into your drink through your straw. Then, you will suck them into your mouth when you go to drink your drink. Then you will want to vomit. Do not leave your drink unattended.

The slide closest to the interstate (the flat-ish one) at Blue Bayou will make you feel like you've just had an enema. Make sure there's a bathroom close by.

Spearmint snowballs go in and come out green. Do not be alarmed.

On a separate note...Yay!!! It's almost Summer!!! I wish I would be off for the whole Summer, but Oh Well, at least I'm not in jail. :)

Gummaddiction

At my job we're divided into two offices: East and West. I work in the East office. The West office had a competition for their residents in which they had to guess how many Easter Egg gum balls were in this vase that was probably about 24" tall and as big around as a gallon of milk. Turned out, there were 546 gums in there. Well, I think I've eaten 538 of them. I can't stop! It's like I'm a chain smoker only I'm a chain chewer! I chew two pieces at a time for no longer than 2 minutes, spit it out and then chew new ones. I start at about 10:00 AM and I have to follow the same pattern each time. Two yellows, two blues, two pinks, two whites and then the pattern repeats itself. Everyday I say, "Absolutely no gum today" and then I eat, literally, I'm not exaggerating, 30 to 40 pieces. It's a sickness and I'm not down with it. My gums on one side of my mouth are sore and I feel a weird crater in one of my molars. It's destroying my life! Soon I'll be loitering outside of convenience stores asking customers to lend me 88 cents for some gum, I'll hide out in the office bathroom just to get my fix with no one noticing, I'll wake up in a pile of my own gum not knowing how I got there and who's gum I was chewing. Finally, I'll hit rock bottom when a gum fix goes wrong and ends up in Kent's hair. It will never be the same once I hurt someone I love becuase of my need for gum...

Help me blog readers, you're my only hope!

Early Morning Photo Shoot

"What? I'm not doing anything."

"Hey Mom! I found a big one for you to throw!!"

"I GOT THE STICK!!!"

"Oh stick, I love you, stick..."

Awwww...It's our first video

Ta-da! Our first video uploaded to the internet!

This is a video of our Monkey-Dog Coca on the way to a Zephyrs game. Until we got this camera, Kent and I were the only people who'd heard her make this noise. Please watch the whole thing to hear the whole funny...it's only 30 seconds, after all!

ATTENTION:
I've removed the video from my blog so that it won't slow down readers' computers. Please view the video at Vidilife

Simmah down now...

On Sunday mornings I have to find something to do from 9:00 to 10:00 AM in Uptown New Orleans. Kent has to be at church for 9:00 but the service doesn't start until 10:00. So, I entertain myself. Today, I walked several blocks down St. Charles and had breakfast at "C'est Si Bon." It was good. I ate outside, so the flies were kind of annoying but other than that, good. That's not what this post is about though...

On my way back to the church I saw what was almost a wicked awesome AFV moment. This guy was roller blading (kinda fast) with his dog (a cocker spaniel) running along side of him on a leash. He was heading for the entrance gate at Audubon Park. At the same time a very sweaty older man was walking out of the park. I happened to turn around when I heard the man with the dog saying, "come on, this way!" Right then, the roller blader went to one side of the sweaty man and the dog when to the other. The sweaty man was just about to get clotheslined, when the roller blader let go of the leash and sweaty man grabbed it. Sweaty man was almost laughing...he didn't seem to be angry at all.

That's when the fun ended.

Roller blader started shouting, "Watch the !@#$ where you're going!" Then Sweaty Man said, "I was just walking down the street when you went to one side and your dog went to the other." Roller blader replied, "Just watch the !@#$ where you're going!! WAKE UP!!" I don't know what was up with Roller Blader but apparently he thinks the world, the city and the sidewalk revolve around him. I wanted to go tell Sweaty Man that it's okay and he shouldn't worry about what the insane roller blader said, but I thought that would be weird. So, I just walked on.

I hope he's not at home crying.

$8 Hair Dye vs. $200 Hair-do

Oh my goodness...it has been a while since I posted. Kent has been working on projects and papers and stuff like that. So, I've been a little short on computer time, but no big deal. Anyway...

I was watching a TV commercial the other day (I have to specify because, you know, sometimes I watch radio commercials) and a commercial for L'Oreal Hair Dye came on.

WHATEVER, L'OREAL!!!!

How stupid do you think we are? I'm so sure Eva Longoria and Heather Locklear dye their precious, million dollar locks with $8 hair dye. Really, you will never get your hair to look like those celebrities by using hair dye you pick up at Walgreens, Wal-Mart or even Target. More than likely, they've spent in excess of $200 to get their hair done by someone like that guy from "Blow Out." So, L'Oreal, you don't fool me!

Meanwhile, I will buy the King Kong Pizza. Because if it's big enough for King Kong, it's big enough for me. I will also drink diet coke because the bubbles make that man run down the street and kiss his girl. I know, I'm a sucka.
