this weekend I saw two Newfoundland puppies. OMG teh cute, and HUGE
My sister's in-laws had a pair of Newfies--a mother and son called Bigfoot and Blossom. Biggest damned dogs I've ever seen in my entire life. Hairy and very drooly.
Maybe I've always been here.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have a scar on my right arm from when I was 4 years old and our Newfie Sassy knocked me down the concrete steps in front of our house. She was a sweet dog, but my parents finally had to give her up after one too many accidental tramplings/sitting on my head/whathaveyou. It was like having a baby elephant in the house. A VERY DUMB baby elephant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope everything went swimmingly, Dana!!
I just bought the worst taboule ever, which was going to be part of my dinner. Luckily, the taramosalata that is the other part is yum. AND I got my pants back from the tailor, so they have a new zipper, and I can wear them tomorrow. PHEW!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just bought cheese and beer for my office's World Cup potluck tomorrow. This cheese shop just opened up right around the corner from me, and I am going to be shopping there EVERY DAY because it is AWESOME. They have such a good selection (I ended up with two cheeses I'd never heard of before), and as far as I can tell, the staff has actually tasted every cheese they sell. (Or if not, they're doing a hell of a job faking it.)
Cheese shop!

A lawyer friend of mine forwards this. Not going to bother putting in quote format since everything after the line of equal signs under this sentences is a quote:
============================
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to designate location of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition (Doc. 105). Upon consideration of the Motion – the latest in a series of Gordian knots that the parties have been unable to untangle without enlisting the assistance of the federal courts – it is ORDERED that said Motion is DENIED. Instead, the Court will fashion a new form of alternative dispute resolution, to wit: at 4:00 P.M. on Friday, June 30, 2006, counsel shall convene at a neutral site agreeable to both parties. If counsel cannot agree on a neutral site, they shall meet on the front steps of the Sam M. Gibbons U.S. Courthouse, 801 North Florida Ave., Tampa, Florida 33602. Each lawyer shall be entitled to be accompanied by one paralegal who shall act as an attendant and witness. At that time and location, counsel shall engage in one (1) game of “rock, paper, scissors.” The winner of this engagement shall be entitled to select the location for the 30(b)(6) deposition to be held somewhere in Hillsborough County during the period July 11-12, 2006. If either party disputes the outcome of this engagement, an appeal may be filed and a hearing will be held at 8:30 A.M. on Friday, July 7, 2006 before the undersigned in Courtroom 3, George C. Young United States Courthouse and Federal Building, 80 North Hughey Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801.

Cheese shop!
If I had a cheese shop that close to me, I'd weigh 400 lbs.

Rock, paper, scissors is the one true way to settle disagreements. It's why my marriage has lasted 12 years this month.

I was thinking this very thing. I'd also be broke.
But still: cheeeeese.

Today I love Stephen Colbert more than ever. First with the "Stay gold, Ponyboy," at the end of the Daily Show, then with the LOTR geek-out, he SLAYS me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
You know, it seems like a too small to be away from the mommy chihuahua would be REALLY hard to hit someone with.
Also, I think I am getting old, because, though I loved The Outsiders (book more than movie), it occurs to me that parents who named their eldest, responsible son a normal name (Darrin) would not suddenly name their youngest children Sodapop and Ponyboy. It seems to me...
Although I do remember crying like a crying thing when the "stay gold.." thing happ[ened.
