Yay, Josie!!! Keep eating, sweet kitty girl.

There's graffiti spray-painted on the sides of the sheep.

Dude! That's awful rude.

Graffiti on SHEEP? Dude. That's kinda awesome.

it occurs to me that I'm fairly sure I would be supremely embarassed in a sex club.

Ah, but see, you could just ostentatiously NOT look at what's going on around you, in a very "I'm being scrupulously polite" sort of way. Because that's acceptable as well. There were private areas for people to do things in, public areas, and then a "social" area, where you were just supposed to hang out and chill and talk to people if you wanted, and could totally avoid looking (though not really avoid hearing).

Yay, Josie!

bonny, you're very welcome for the picture. (Let me know if you don't want it public.) I have to say, bonny was a wonderful teacher (people kept saying, "see you next time!" because they're all charmed and interested and are now keeping these lessons on their calendars) but also a very cruel taskmaster -- poor Bartleby really wanted to greet his fans (and collect treats) but patiently finished his work.

If last night had been Vaudville, my puppy would have gotten the hook because, as usual, seeing that there were treats in the house she immediately went center stage and demanded some with her beagle bark.

Is it too early for bed? I'm SO wiped!

Good Josie! Eat! Be Loved! Stay at home! So happy to hear GC.

Part of me totally wants to go to a sex club, but something tells me the shy, blushy guy would come out more than the pervy horny guy. It would be a curious social experiment. Not like there is a chance of it happening anytime soon. Either way, sorry Meara it wasn't more fun for you. Nothing worse than great expectations being a total let down.

OMG so tired. Tired enough to type OMG.

OMG! KT was up that late?!? That never happens.

Have you all switched to DST now?

Ha. I was about to go to bed, saw it only 1:15. Picked up a magazine and started reading. Looked up to see it 3:05 and was like "holy shit am I reading slow!". Head to bed to see the clocks say 2:05, and remembered the time switch (living room cable box did it automatically).

ION, I have an unexpected day off today. Woot! Yipee. Now I have no excuse to NOT get my tax info together. Dang.

But she worked for it! And not just in the exponential contribution to world-wide cute...she did puppy push ups like a champ. She really made everyone there happy just to be around her.

also a very cruel taskmaster -- poor Bartleby

And he'll be very glad to tell you all about it. Especially if you'd like to have a heart to heart over some 'cookies' while drowning in his big brown eyes.

He was mostly good, bless him. Ironically, the woman he kept running up on is not his biggest fan. Not really sure what is up with that. But the tall guy with the beard and cap? He's Bartleby's best friend's person. HE is a hero in the dog world.

I should say, the kid who was made of fail when it came to passing out the paperwork is the faux son of whom I've spoken here. He's pretty cute too...except when I want to fling my open palm sharply up and across the back of his pea-brain having head.

No worries about the pic being public. Thanks so much for taking it. I think it will end up on the doggy lama event page!

We are back home chilling out after a nice weekend. Yesterday, after our trip to the shelter, we went into Cambridge for the Cambridge Brewing Company's Brewer's Dinner. We also were able to score a deal on a local hotel so we were not beholden to the train schedule (with a 5 course beer paired meal, driving was out of the question). So it was a little mini vacation kind of thing.

I had: the sweet pea soup, the chilled blackened sirloin, the shrimp and avocado salad, the cornish game hen, and the key lime tartlet. The food was amazing and the beers were WONDERFUL, especially the Saison Noir.

Tom had: seafood paella bisque, blue marlin carpacchio (paired with an amazing cask conditioned dry hopped pale ale), arugula salad, seared tuna, and the candied carrot cupcake.

After dinner, we went to a friend's place nearby and kicked back listening to music and drinking beers. Oh! We played Guitar Hero. OMG I suck at it. However, our friends loaned us their old (non-wireless) guitars and a couple of the games. So I can practice in the privacy of my own home!

This morning we went to our old favorite breakfast place (Soundbites) and then went back to the CBC for another glass of the Saison Noir. Now we're home watching TiVo and making pizza. A nice weekend.

Attn NoiseDesign! I don't know where you are going to be Tuesday at 2:28am, but if you are near Kennedy Space Center, or Orlando, or really within 100 miles of the place, there will be a shuttle launch worth watching. The night launches are awesome. DH and I were discussing sending the kids to bed then driving up to watch then driving back home. More likely I will set my alarm and just watch from home because the night launches are easy to see.

Oh! We played Guitar Hero. OMG I suck at it.

The kids have brought this over to the house a couple times, but I was unwilling to try it and be mocked by the teens. It looked hard!
