Somewhere in-between black and white: I'm Lame....

If my blog were a dog it would be sad, mangey,

pathetic starving little creature,

no doubt covered in fleas....

like this guy...

Neglected.

How can I feel too busy to blog?

What the heck do I even do all the time?

I don't even have a freakin' kid and I can't

seem to get it together!! Sheesh!!

Well wait no more!!

A blog post has arrived!

Unfortunately I am devoid of creativity and

my motivation to write this will no doubt run out

in about 5 minutes, so I better get to it...

bullet point style...

Here's a few things I've been up to as of late.

And PS, I'm seemingly uncapable of getting these pictures

to format and lay out the way I want them too-so excuse the

wonky arrangements!!

POOL TIME...not nearly as much as I'd like, but hey, any pool time is good time so I'll take what I can get!! I didn't take any photos of my pool time with Alicia, although it was lovely and there was interesting people watching ;) I did however get a few pics of myself and preggers...she's keepin the belly under wraps at the pool, although I personally think she should set the belly free and catch some sun!!!

City Market. One of my favorite summer activities is to visit the farmers market downtown. Usually I only make it once, but I've already been twice this year! Yahoo!! Rach and I went one Saturday morning after working (a nice bonus to working a Friday, I might add..) My purchases included some green beans, cherries, strawberries, peaches and some zucchini. I'd never made fresh green beans before, but after doing some recipe research I steamed and stir-fried them-YUM-O! Don't think I'll ever be able to eat canned green beans again!!

Becca's baby shower.....well it wouldn't be right if I wasn't going to a baby shower atleast once a month!! Working with 250 women has it's perks and one of those perks is celebrating lots of new babies!! Our friend Becca is expecting a baby boy just a few weeks after Rachael. A couple of us got together at Megan's and had a popcorn/ice cream social/carnival themed shower! Umm HELL-O-I'm officially conviced that I need one of these popcorn machines in our basement!!

Fathers Day. We celebrated 27 years of my pops being a daddy. And what an amazing father he is!! We met for dinner at one of our favorite go-to restaurants, Macaroni Grill. It never disappoints. Kelly and I were pretty lame in the gift department...we got him white undershirts and a blue polo shirt. I also found this little book about dads that you could personalize, so I hope that gave our gifts a bit more of a sentimental touch..I'm all about making my parents cry with sappy gifts and cards!!

Love you daddy!!

(I've abandoned all hope of trying to arrange my pictures

side by side or in squares...I'm reverting back to the good ol'

straight down the middle line up....)

Deanna Rose Farmstead. My sister is the Animal Care Manager at DRCF, so I try to go out there a few times each summer and fall to see the animals and hang out with her. She always talks about how she could never be a nurse and deal with all the blood and bodily fluids...but holy cow, she has no problem hand feeding dead rats to bobcats and eagles!?!! WTF?? No thanks, I'll take baby poop over rat brains any day sistah....
