Everyone meet Riley....

I or should I say, my son and I, decided back in May that we needed to get another dog. I have a min pin that has been with me for 16 years. Yes, 16 years! This dog refuses to let go and live in doggy heaven where she would be so much more happy and agile and can see and hear. So when my son and I got to the local humane society we found Riley (his name at the kennel was "yeller". Original huh?) We brought him home and he was going to be an indoor dog. I've never had a dog that weighed more than 15 pounds, so I had no idea what I was getting into. The humane society said he was potty trained. NOT! This dog pisses as much as I do. I decided that he would be alot better as an outdoor door dog and I wouldn't have so much laundry to do because of all the freakin' piss towels.

Riley is such a mild mannered dog. He loves my kids, he loves other dogs. He's just a big o'l goof that doesn't know that he weighs 80 pounds. But there just one dilemma, he will not quit eating my landscaping in the back yard. Just today he ate the garden hose. He has toys and a thing called a "kong" that you stuff and they are supposed to be busy with it for hours. Oh no, not this dog, 10 minutes tops. Please tell me that there is some magic recipe of cayenne pepper mixed with bean juice or something that I can spray all over my backyard to get him to leave my landscaping alone. My neighbors think I'm probably some weirdo cause I talk to him like he's my five year old. I yell out "do you want me to take you're walks away from you?". Like he will cross his front paws, roll his eyes and say no. Please someone tell me you have the magic recipe before he starts eating something vital, like my air conditioner unit.

UPDATE...

I have found a product that works really well on the chewing issue. It's called Bitter Barrier. You can find it at walmart in the doggie department. It's made of tea tree oil and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Trust me I used it on myself cause it states that its safe around children and pets and it will not sting. We are 5 days of no chewing on plants and garden hose.

"My headlamp costs how much? What the frig?"

Recently, I discovered that my right front headlight had a big ol' crack in it. Damn rocks! So I called the local AutoZone and asked if they had replacements and of course they said no, I'd have to go to the dealership. So I took my happy butt to my Caddy dealership to get the light fixed. The guy said he would check to make sure they had a replacement and that he did. BUT then he stated "you might want to call your insurance to see if they will cover the cost of your light. We have a replacement but it cost $1083.00" I shit you not! Now, being out in public I really try to watch my mouth but the F word came flying out. And it's get better, the labor is extra!!! Needless to say that my cracked highlight has not been replaced. What the hell were Cadillac engineers thinking when they made this car? I have a feeling....they were laughing all the way to the bank.

The car I'm jonesin' for...

Yes, I sooo much want the 2010 Chevy Camaro. This is my dream car. I have wanted this car for a couple of years now. I wouldn't settle for any other color but yellow. Well....maybe orange. My daughter asked me if this car seats 4. And for a split second, I wanted to say no, but I smiled at her and said "sure it does! Wouldn't you like to go for ride in this pretty car?" And to my amusement, she asked "how much does this car cost?" Then reality slapped me in the face. I guess that's why they call it a dream. When did kids get so damn smart?

Tony Stewart loses his cool?? No way!

As you all may know I'm a big Tony Stewart fan. So big that on the back glass window of my 04 Caddy I proudly sport the number 20 Home Depot car. Anyway......this last Thursday during a USAC race, Tony got mad at officials who would not let Tracey Hines,the driver of his car, back on the track after an accident. Tony yanked off one officials headset, and shoved another official. Now granted, he should let the officials do their job, but you have to admit, Tony brings attention to the sport. Now he will probably get fined from officials at USAC, but this will not affect Nascar. Tony has been trying to clean up his image and not be Nascar's Bad Boy, but I love it. He is a great driver, unlike some rich kids that got into Nascar by their daddy's name or by the seat of their pants. This sport some years back were full of "Tony's" (ie...Dale Earnhart). I say you go boy! And next year I will proudly display your new number on the back of my Caddy!

My kids are driving me nuts!!

I am the proud parent of two of the most adorable children. My kids are under the age of 10 and the cutest kids I know. They got their looks from me. Humble aren't I? I am a stay at home mom by day and full time student by night. I wake up every morning stating that it's going to be a great day! But by the end of the day, i look like one of the hairless Chihuahua's that sit and shake. I think to myself if I hear one more "mom" or "momma" I swear I'm going to shoot myself. Almost everyday I lock myself in the bathroom with my IPod for 10 to 15 minutes just so that I can have some peace and quite. I tell my children that mommy is having a time out. Now some of you probably think I'm being a tad dramatic and maybe so, but I have counted how many "mom" and "momma's" i got just from one of my kids in a 10 hour time frame. 408 times. And remember this is from ONE child. I actually look forward to going to school where I can sit among adults and have adult conversations. If I hear Spongebob's laugh or hear "who lives in a pineapple under the sea" one more time, I will eat an entire bottle of Prozac.

I know that there are other mom and dad's out there that feel the same way and share in this experience. Is it wrong to be looking forward for school to start? Am I a bad mom for locking myself in the bathroom jamming to Thee Days Grace for a moment of serenity?

Kudos to my bro

Just a quick hats off to my brother who introduced me to the world of blogging. If it wasn't for him, I couldn't get my cell phone turned on. I promise little bro, I'll make you proud!

The day tripping begins...

Today I begin on my first trip of blogging. I'm 39 years old and I just got techno savy. I've started this blog for a place for fellow bloggers to vent out their day. Example...I'm a massage therapist student (awesome huh?) and last week in my clinic I had my first muffin. Muffin you may ask? And yes, it might be just what you were thinking....a fart in the face. Now this is not like being in a elevator and someone farts, we are talking face to butt fart. And it wasn't just one fart, oh no I couldn't be that freakin' lucky. We are talking throughout the entire one hour massage!

Alright now fellow bloggers, it's your turn. Tell me about your day tripping. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. Have some fun, or better yet...."make my day".

Here's some info about me. As I said I'm 39 years old. I'm going back to school to start a new career in the world of massage therapy. I'm a sassy red head with lots of attitude. I'm totally addicted to Nascar, hence the Tony Stewart picture, and yes Tony is "da man" . I recently went skydiving and loved it! So much that I'm going back soon to do a solo. I love to offroad. In fact my brother, who has an awesome blog spot complaintdepartmentmanager check it out, we've been offroading in Moab, UT many times, and I think he might be an offroading junky as well. To sum it up, I love to get the blood pumping. Any fellow adrenaline junkies out there??

So hop on my blogging couch and tell me about your day....
