Posing with Tokyo on a Cooler Day

This shot of the temperature was taken around 9:30 p.m. I know it's a little hard to see, so I'll tell you it says 58 degrees!

When I was in middle school and wanted to take a picture of our dog C.B., I'd put his racquetball on top of the camera. I'd get perky ears and good eye contact! Today I revisted my old trick with a bit of a twist. I used Tokyo's rawhide bone to make her sit for a nanosecond or so to try to get a picture of the three of them. Took 3 photos and this one isn't bad, if I say so myself. xoxo

Welcome Autumn!

This was the temperature at 11:30 a.m. on 10 17 2009. (Insert extremely toothy smile right here!)

Excitement at Work

Right across the street from our office, a Jackson Hewitt commercial is being filmed. City "Mounty Police" are patrolling the block on beautiful brown horses!! The meter maid is driving around getting pissy because she can't give anybody a parking ticket. :)

It's so interesting to watch all the people doing their tasks. They've brought in fake bus stop signs, newspaper machines, mailbox, plants, and even a bus with fake details. I am totally jealous of the phat cameras I can see them using...... Right now I'm watching the actors practice their roles; one fellow is taking one of those huge fake checks onto the bus. I wonder how many "takes" they'll have to do.

I told my work friends that I wanted to park my car in front of the office so it might be seen in the background and have a chance to become famous.

I can't wait to see the finished commercial and see what footage of our street will appear on TV!

P.S.

It goes without saying that not one person in the office is doing any work at this moment.

Boss's Day

Boss's Day is tomorrow, and I felt like making a card. My scanner lid wouldn't close all the way due to pop-dots, lol, so it is kinda dark. Her favorite color is dark blue. I was able to accomplish this during Thursday night shows because I recorded them on my DVD player.

TGIF on the wakeup~

Happy B'day Spot!

A birthday shout-out from Marge with lots of love to my friend Spot! xoxo

10 13 2009 Mish-mash

Rambling around tonight ;)

Made spaghetti and garlic cheese bread, hand washed the dishes, watched NCIS, paid a bill online, and after this blog post, I'm hoping to balance the checkbook (ugh).

I saw a great pumpkin patch in Winter Park today on my way to Chamberlain's to get John Sam's special magic millet bread. I think I may take them this weekend to get some pumpkins and photos. I'm thinking after last year's stuffed rooster caper that it might behoove us to find a new patch anyway.

I need to start looking for Caroline's costume. Thank goodness there are all kinds of witch costumes instead of just scary ones. I think we have John Sam's choice all taken care of.

My eyeglasses are getting settled in and it occurred to me today that they don't bother me as much as they first did. Progress!

Tomorrow night I have a card to finish and hope to get a photo to put up. So that'll be appearing no earlier than Saturday if my intention is to do it tomorrow.

I'll stop amazing everyone now with the excruciatingly interesting details of my Tuesday night!!

Birthday Day #2 and Spiffy Room

We enjoyed another day of birthday celebrations with Granny Old! Perkins, Toys R Us, Florida Mall, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, JC Penney for a new purse, and then lunch/dinner at Red Lobster.

John Sam wanted Granny Old to see his "spiffy room" to prove he is in the Spiffy Room Club. Notice how neat the desk is!

I was also able to sneak in a manicure at the last minute at this great new salon; it's the best-kept secret in Orlando! Quite the assortment of products....
