The Gods

So my brother and his fiance moved in this weekend. Their lease is up and the new one doesn't start until the first week of December.

They are staying with us for a couple weeks, getting married and going on their honeymoon, then will be back to pack up and move on.

It's been an interesting change. Four adults, two big dogs (mine) and a brand new puppy (theirs). So far so good - consistent housebreaking of the puppy seems to be the only rough spot so far.

Anyway, the reason I'm giving you the back story -- my brother knows that we are trying to make a baby, so he promptly placed his fertility statue (see picture) in our room. He has a little shield that you put over his junk when you don't want to be fertile, as you can see the shield has been removed. We shall see what happens, it is supposed to be foolproof.

I think he needs a name.

October Resolution Update

Well... once again a whole lot of crazy with little new to show.

We participated in a lot of charity events - first time with the Alzheimer's Association and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the softball tournament.

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd...

I can't really think of much else. I suck.

Pet Peeve #12

How is it that so many times you walk into the WOMEN'S restroom and someone has peed on the seat. Are you kidding me? I can kind of see it in a guys restroom, there is a fundamental element of aim in the process. But for women - REALLY? If you choose to hover, learn the skill. And if you do screw up for some reason - wipe up after yourself. It's not that difficult.

Elements of a good morning...

Good mornings start with:

1. Lovin
2. Putting on jeans for work
3. First Starbucks Red Cup of the season (purchased with a gift card so there is no $$ out of my pocket).

Today has been a good morning.
