Grape Lady

I have been told this is old, way old. However, it is new to me and ohhh so funny. Just know that no actual grapes were harmed in me linking to this video.

She's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack

As you previously read on my May 7th entry, we got rid of the dog. Just like a bad penny she has returned. Supposedly she was fighting with other dogs and killed a random pet cat. She won't kill mine of course, why help out the Jiggy? So she is back. She seems a little saddened right now. Or sick. Or mad. Something. She is not her usual, attacking, jumping, demonic self. Of course, we tried to put her in the cage overnight and she was back to her whining, drooling, slobbering self real quickly. That much hasn't changed. We are getting a fence put up to replace the fence I took down when my last two dogs died and I vowed never, ever to have another dog. The fencing company must love me.

Tennis started up last week. I will not brag. It just isn't worth it anymore. We did have a surprise superstar come out. Super Mario's previous physical activities resulted in him nearly cutting off his finger with an exacto knife and trying to skip his bag across the road while playing cornhole. There was not any high hopes that he would be a star on the court. He shocked a few players, although he did fall down in the first minute of playing. Good balance.

Love that chicken

Now some of you that read this blog might actually have jobs and were not able to watch Oprah. Well she is hooking up with KFC and offering a free two-piece grilled chicken meal. Just print off a coupon and get your free chicken. I can attest that it works. I got a free meal today and I got a free meal yesterday. I also have enough coupons printed out to get a free meal each day until the deal ends on May 19th. Sorry if you were unable to print out your coupons. More chicken for me. Hopefully it never gets to be like this situation at Popeyes.





On to other news. The garden starts this weekend. I have borrowed another tiller so we will have two of them out there preparing the earth. Most of the plants have been purchased and are in the living room right now. Just need it to stop raining for a couple hours so I can get them in the ground.


Dog update. The beast has, at least temporarily, found a new home. We had some friends come visit and they were looking for a dog. I was able to accommodate them. This way the kids can still go visit the dog and if she is too crazy, they can always return her. So of course now that she is gone, I am missing her. So don't come around the house asking about the dog and sending the kids into tears you heartless bastards.

Game Seven

Earlier this week I took my oldest to see the Caps for his birthday. It just happened to be Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs. Here are a few pictures from the night.
