Hi everyone. Sorry it’s been a whole week since I last posted, but I’ve been pretty busy the last few days. Let’s see, where shall I begin …..?

I’ll start with last Sunday, when I got to babysit my perfectly perfect grandson for about six hours! Callie went with me and we had a great, albeit exhausting, time. LOL He wore us out, and we wore him out! See?

I was dozing on the floor beside him and decided to snap that pic with my phone while he was actually being still.

The next day, Monday, was his 4th birthday! We all met at Pizza Hut here in town and had a birthday lunch, followed by a wonderful birthday cake which he loved — especially the green frosting! Just look at it all over his mouth! LOL

The quality isn’t that great, as I took it with my phone and I wasn’t exactly standing still. Sorry!

Tuesday I stayed home and tried to recuperate. LOL Then Wednesday I appeared in court on that bogus vicious dog charge against my dogs Cheyenne and Lily. I was called toward the end of the list of people, and while I watched everyone else going before me I realized that we sure do have a lot of vicious dogs here! NOT! Seems like the INhumane Society here really likes to write tickets for dog-at-large and always seems to throw in a vicious dog charge along with it. SO not cool! One poor woman was in a wheelchair and could barely speak as she was on oxygen, too, but was able to say “My dog is NOT vicious!” and pleaded not guilty. I felt so bad for her. When it was my turn, I said in a loud, clear voice, “ABSOLUTELY NOT GUILTY!”. The judge asked “On all charges?”. I said “ON ALL CHARGES!”. They then proceeded to set my TRIAL date for October 29th. I will call and make an appointment to see the City Attorney next week and hopefully will be able to talk some sense into the man!

I also watched the Democratic National Convention as much as I could this week. It was SO exciting! I was very proud that it was being held in Colorado. Did you watch Barack’s acceptance speech last night? OMG, I just don’t see how anyone can NOT want to vote for him, but there are some who don’t. Those Republicans, I tell ya’ what, they’re a weird bunch (I can say that because my husband is a die-hard Republican and he’s very weird! lol), and very stubborn! You won’t catch a one of ‘em admitting that George Dubya and the Republican party have totally screwed up this country! Then today McCain announces he’s chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate! Go figure. All the man’s been talking about is how much he thinks Obama isn’t ready to lead because of his inexperience, and then he goes and picks a 44 year old serving her FIRST term as governor of Alaska??? That’s it — she’s held no other government office. Oh wait, she was on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council for four years and served two terms as their mayor. And she won a beauty contest once. Yep, she’s sure qualified to be Vice President, huh! And get this, McCain only met her ONE time six months ago, and only had ONE conversation with her during said meeting. That’s it, just ONE time! Then six months later he suddenly chooses her to be his running mate??? Dude, he is SO stupid! Just like his buddy George. And what a HUGE insult to the women of America! He thinks that just because she’s a woman, all women will flock to the polls to vote for him! Um, NO! Idiot. Oh, and did I mention she and her staff are currently under investigation for possible abuse of power? Yeah, she’s a real good choice, isn’t she. I’ll tell you what, people, if you truly want this country to get better and BE better, Obama is the only way!!

*jumping off my soapbox*

I guess that’s about it. Oh yeah, I did vacuum and wash my car yesterday. LOL And I’ve played with my puppies every day. They always make me laugh!

What have you been up to?
