Bye Summer! Thanks for the Good Times!

So our dog Moses has sure gotten around a lot lately. And by gotten around I mean traveling. First Big Bear and this past weekend, Palm Springs. This opportunity for travel came about because one of Brian's buddies wanted to spend his birthday in Palm Springs with his pals. So the boys of 81st Street minus Toby and plus the wives, rented a house with a pool and BBQ and luckily, for an additional pet fee, MoMo could relax by the pool and sip margaritas. Okay...so, Mommy sat by the pool and drank margaritas and MoMo had fun checking out what everyone in the house was doing. The boys liked to play video games while the girls liked to swim in the pool and sun themselves. The weather all weekend was beautiful and just perfect for hanging out.

Palm Springs didn't seem to be as pet friendly as Big Bear but that didn' stop us from taking him everywhere. Once again he was a rock star. Getting all the oohs and aahs from the passer bys when we took him to town. He even got to go to an outside bar where a crazy lady sang 70's disco music. He really liked the the Bar Keep Guy, who kept bringing him bowls of water and dog biscuits. Mo told me he will go to the bar anytime.

One thing Palm Springs was lacking was...grass. A ton of people have front yards made of stones which made it hard for MoMo to take a dump on his walks. Pooping on rocks isn't as exciting as pooping on bushes and grass. MoMo did find that he hates cactus'. He must of ran into one because we had to pull out little prickly things from his skin. Poor little baby/pumpkin head. Then he got bumps all over his skin. We weren't sure if it was hives or a reaction to the cactus pricklers or what, cuz he did barf twice in one night (which is somthing we have never seen him do...well, okay in the car to Big Bear but those were twisty roads!)? He spent the weekend scratching a lot. Poor Baby. We gave him a big ole bath when he got home to hopefully make him feel better. Poor little guy.

Despite his problems he did very much like hanging out with his Uncle Matt and loved seeing all his other friends. He enjoyed watching the dog on that WiiGames Frisbee tournament. The gang was all amazed at how completely spoiled MoMo is and how his parents are complete suckers. What can I say, he has the cutest darn face and temper. How can I say no to my cute baby? Anyhoo, when all was said and done it was good times for all. We left Palm Springs this morning at about 10AM. The sun and the warm weather must have left with us because it was nothing but clouds all the way home. Looks like we just experienced the last weekend of summer. We had to turn on the heat when we got back to our house and put on a sweater. I guess summer has once again come and gone.

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 ...

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
