Cool website-learn sign language!

I sent this website to a friend who is stuck at home thinking it would give her soemthing to do:

I learned the sign for "sloth" last night. Very useful!

momentary crisis at home

Tonight we got home at about 10pm to find the internet inaccessible. You can imagine our shock. Cable TV didn't work either....hmmm....the slick hubby made the quick conclusion that there must be a few Comcast bills piled up somewhere. A call to customer service indicated that yes, indeed, we were 2 months behind. Hmmm...wonder how long we can use the excuse: "yeah, we just had a baby and things are a little crazy around here". I'm thinking for at least 16 or 17 years??

EVOLUTION IN A BOX

 
So these characters were from a box of "Grow your own dinosaurs"..a gift from my friend Lizard on my birthday (reminding me how old I am...get it...dinosaurs). You know the kind...come as capsules and you put them in hot water and watch them "grow". She thinks maybe we caught evolution in action here........

Give the cat a bath

Saw this article in the SBTribune today about bathing cats.
Go to this link and see pictures of cats getting a bath! Can't say I want to try this with our cat, Mao. Sounds like a recipe for a trip to the ER to me!!!

Better start training!

I know Talk like a Pirate Day isn't until September 19th, but it's never too early to start practicing!!!!!!!!!!

Dogs and Shoes

Had a visit from "Aunty Assistant Prof. H" (AAPH) yesterday. She had two reasons to visit. #1 The Little Guy (of course) and #2 Running Shoes. She had found this specialtyrunning shoe store that looked promising. See, she has super thin and long feet...tough to fit. This store lived up to its expectations and AAPH got royal treatment by the manager and we got her into a nice pair of new running shoes. He even made her run outside in the parking lot so he could evaluate her run. The other cool thing about the store was that they had two dogs in there. Cute dogs. One looked like a big shaggy dust mop. Turns out it was an 8-month old golden-doodle. Mix of a red poodle and a 55 lb golden. He looked kind of like one of these dogs...but very red. He was cute

Also, the parents were here visiting last week. Cooking, doing yard work, holding "little guy", etc. They wouldn't stay with us, but instead chose to stay at the Country Inn and Suites a few miles away. They were happy with the place, but I noted this article about the hotel having a carbon monoxide leak this morning in the SBTribune. Good thing they decided to leave on Friday!!!
