So if you are a reader of this blog, you can now leave a comment should you like. I didn't even know it was hard to leave a comment cuz, I wasn't sure anyone read this other than my dad (hi dad!). But alas, this weekend someone called the hubby and asked about the comments and why they didn't work. Technically the setting was on but it was on some weird setting where you pretty much had to give blood in order to leave a note.

Anyhoo, the comments are on until the robots start finding me. If you want to leave me (a.k.a. cutie pie/lollipop) or the hub a message you can. If you have any advise on how to get rid of barking, pain in the ass dogs leave that too. Tonight the hub brought home some super duper ear plugs that are supposed to block out 33 decibels. I guess we'll see how many decibels that dog is tonight.

A few people have emailed me about what to do for dogs and I have been meaning to write back but alas, work is super crazy. Tonight has been the first night in several weeks where I haven't gone direct for the couch. We have been preparing for this huge, big, super crazy convention (which starts next Monday) and delegates from 60 countries are flying in to see our 2008 line up. Suffice to say, I have been working a ton and next week will be even more. What sucks is that I am supposed to have Presidents Day off but due to the convention I don't anymore. I called HR just to check what a gal was to do when they worked on a company holiday and they said you get paid double time. Well, you can be sure I informed all of my employees and sent them a reminder to make sure to fill out their time card right. Take that THE MAN.

Yesterday, knowing I had a tough two weeks ahead of me I made a pit stop at Burke Williams. I even took the hubby along with me. It brings sheer joy to my face to take a friend to my little place of heaven. The hub's appt was at 11AM and mine was at noon so we passed each other in the lounge. He looked so relaxed and that made me happy. I love the spa. I like going to a place that can transform you in an hour. I love the cucumbers on the eyes and the yummy fruit you can eat while sitting in the warm water. I love the steam room and then the misting room. Its just great. But today, I hurt but at least for 4 hours I was at peace and that is something to cherish.

I may have missed it,but did you go over to the house behind you and speak with the neighbor about the dogs? I know it may be a bit awkard but it's worth a try. How about having a bbq or something and invite all the neighbors around your home even the dog ones, then bring it up to them.
love the blog

I hadn't gone over to the house yet. The set up of my street and the dog barking street is weird. I can't walk to their house from behind mine behind because there are 10 ft walls blocking me. Also the street behind our house is not easily found. You get to it from an off shoot of an off shoot of another road. It's actually really hard to find my neighbors (cuz we just moved and didn't know the area.) However, this weekend we did do some exploring and we think we found the house! They weren't home but we hope to try again.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
