Two posts in one day … that never happens.
See, I posted the other post thinking that it was Monday. But it’s really Tuesday, and I’m supposed to be posting my I Heart Faces entry today. And since I can’t go back and un-post it, now, you’ll just have to deal with two posts from me today. I’m sorry.
And if you actually read all of that, I’m sorry to you, too.
ANYWAY.
Here’s my entry for the weekly photo contest …
My Macey-kins gettin’ her yawn on. Or singing O Holy Night. Maybe trying out for Glee? I’m not sure which.
Do you have a clever, funny, silly, outstanding or pretty picture of your pet? Well, shoot on over to I Heart Faces and enter (before 9:00pm CST tonight).

Our four-legged girls are looking pretty old lately.
I can’t believe I got Macey when she was a mere puppy nine years ago … I was single, working as the quality assurance coordinator for a regional vending company, and living by myself in a hole-in-the-wall one-bedroom apartment.
I got her because she was a boxer / black lab mix, and I thought she’d be able to protect me.
Except for the teeny tiny fact that she would hide and pee anytime someone looked at her.
She weighs over 70lbs, she can bite a steak bone in half, and her paws are bigger than a toddler’s hands … but she’s still skittish around strangers.
Go figure.

So we’re on vacation this week. As you’re reading this, we are probably in the car. Listening to the most annoying voices ever from the backseat (die, Max & Ruby … DIE!), eating our picnic lunch WAY too early (ahem, Keli), having your adorable wife read emails and facebook posts out loud when she’d much rather be reading a book (ahem, Ken) and stopping to pee every 15 minutes (she’s 3 … I’m pregnant … your guess is as good as mine).
I’m always nervous to post that we’re away from our house in case someone decides to break in, but let me set some things straight.
a. we don’t have anything worth stealing,
b. trust me, we don’t buy expensive electronics or gadgets or artwork or jewelry,
b. if you do break in, please clean up after yourself, because the *last* thing i want to do is clean up YOUR mess when we get home.
Besides that, we are too cheap to board our dogs, so we have someone staying at our house with our two ferocious dogs.
No, seriously.
They’re, like, insanely mean. See?
No, wait.
Okay, here’s Macey in her most heightened state of awareness.
Oops, that’s not it, either.
All right … just make sure you do NOT throw a stick!
Well, unless you want her to chase it over and over again.
Okay, okay.
Whatever you do … don’t let your kids anywhere near them! There is no telling what they’ll do!!
Ugh. NEVERMIND.
While we’re away, I’ve got some scheduled posts ready to go, including one from one of the coolest chicks I know who I pretty much want to be in another life. I mean, besides the fact that we’re practically twins already.
But I thought I’d do something a little different on the blog this week …
That’s right. Anything. Shoot me some questions.
Within reason. Nothing perverted. Or weird. Or about my current weight.
You can ask about photography or camera equipment or editing programs or what I did before I had kids or sewing or how I can lick my own elbows or what I do in my spare time or exactly what I did to become so awesome. You know, the usual.
At the end of the week (probably during the 10-hour drive back home next Saturday), I’ll go through and answer them.
And please ask something. Because there’s really nothing more embarrassing than opening up the floor for questions and then hearing … *crickets*
In the meantime, watch out for these two.
They will totally rip your head off.
You know, after they roll around in some dead grass and lick themselves.

We took Emma to the zoo today … it was just too nice outside to sit inside all afternoon. I didn’t take my camera today, but I should have – I guess the weather brought all of the animals out, and they were all very active and playful.
Except for the elephants – they took them inside to clean out their cage. We told Emma they were taking a nap.
On the way home, we tried to get her to take a nap, but that girl will fight it tooth and nail when she doesn’t want to sleep … and she succeeded. Which means we are looking at a VERY cranky evening ahead of us.
After we got home, we worked a bit outside – got our fig bush and 2 blackberry bushes planted. We also have the first sprouts in our summer garden – broccoli!
Now I’m off to research: how to keep dogs from digging up all of your plants.
Sigh.
