Some Favorites

I decided that today I would post a collection of some of my favorite quotes. What this really means is that I have been too lazy to come up with something else. So I hope you all enjoy these quotes or if you don't enjoy them, I hope they at least make you think.

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light,
Adorns and cheers our way;
And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a brighter ray.

My little Koko

Here you go, this is my dog Koko. She is about ten years old. We got her when I was in elementary school and I was sooooo happy because I had always wanted a dog.

She is pretty funny though she is always doing little sneezes and she shakes her whole body a lot as well. she hates her baths and having her nails cut. When she has to she cries and struggles but mostly she is sweet and good.

I took these pictures in the sunny weather outside our house today.

Isn't she cute!

Her snoring isn't very cute though, she snores and barks in her sleep and as she sleeps in my room it sometimes wakes me up or doesn't let me get to sleep.

She is a bit crazy though sometimes, she hates doorbell and sometimes she doesn't like large men or men with facial hair who are also large. We think that before we had her she was abused because of that, and that she is pretty timid about strangers.

She's pretty lazy but goes nuts when people drive or walk by. She likes to give me kisses but only in private, almost always just before I go to bed. Look at that face, who could say no to that.

Mother's Day

As yesterday was Mother's Day, I thought I would just wish all the mom's out there a very happy one. I also thought I would post David Letterman's Top 10 list from Mother's Day. This was a top ten list that was performed by Letterman's mother on his show.

Hello!

Well, I really! I have nothing much to report except that I was cleared of all charges with my traffic tickets fiasco. Yea, I know that may be cryptic to those not in the know... but I couldn't help but to share my good news.

Also coming up at the end of the month it will be one year since I first met my boyfriend. Yay! This coming from a girl who everyone thought would be that crazy cat lady who spoils her various nieces and nephews. The one who would never have a boyfriend or husband or anything. Well, so far I have had one boyfriend. And he is the only one that I ever want. I never thought that a chance meeting, over the internet no less, would lead to this.

Hooray!

Today the weather was great and it was nice to be able to drive with the windows down again. Ookie and I were returned the cans and were rocking out in the cars radio cranked and windows down. Those are times when I am glad that I have a sister to share good times with, even though we don't always get along.

Good weather+ Nice life= Good Mood
