blog on a dog

It's a thing I'm trying.  It's a little tricky because my computer is subtly rising and falling with Lady's every breath, but it's our way of hanging out and being together.  Or something.  She loves it because she thinks she's getting attention.  She lives and breathes for attention.

Today started out on a sour note, I killed a bird.  Let me clarify, Jeepy Jenkins killed a bird.  He flew into the back window as I came to a stop on my drive to work.  I watched him tumble to the ground through my rearview mirror and was distraught.  Considered crying.  Thought about calling someone but realized it was too early.  Then thought to myself, "ugh what a perfectly horrible way to start the week."

Luckily it didn't stay horrible.  It stayed moderately good throughout the rest of the day.  The weather was lovely.  We grilled out for supper.  Had left over BLT pasta salad [which was divineeee].  Seriously, Monday, thanks for taking it easy on me.

And here's a recap from the weekend.  This suburban girl learned about prom in a small town.  I'm learning all sorts about small town life being married to a boy from a tiny town.  Turns out that prom is a big deal to everyone who knows anything about anyone going to prom.  Half the town [if not more] showed up for Grand March to watch all of the couples parade around in their promery finest through the gymnasium that was transformed into a swampy wonderland.  I realize that swampy may not sound pretty, but it was so sweet and romantic.  Perfect.  And now the photographic splendor that is prom in Small Town, Iowa.

The gymnasium.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but you can see how many people are there, this was taken probably 30 minutes before Grand March even started.  It got more crowded.

JB and his pretty date Madi.  

Cousin-In-Law Hunter and his date.  In this picture he's
got a big smile because he got a cheer from the
crowd for utilizing the whole runway.  Atta boy.

Cousin-In-Law Reecey-pie and his date.  I love her dress.
So much poof.

Reece is a good little cousin and does what he's told.  He's so cute.  But let's all draw our eyes to the top left-hand corner of the screen and admire that neon green mermaid number.  I announced to everyone that was listening that THIS was my dress in my imaginary world that I would chose to wear for my imaginary world prom.

I caught baby fever.  This little Sydney is one of two.  TWO!  Twins are the cutest!  I loved them both.

And finally because I think Justin doesn't feel he's getting enough sympathy.  Here is his poor swollen ankle.  It's all black and purple and swollen twice its size from his pick-up game of basketball on Thursday.  He still won't listen and go in for an X-Ray.  Who's the medical professional in this house again?....

Now I'm going to do something productive because I can.  Thank you.
