What to Wear?!?!

So I am having a huge problem deciding what to wear, and for once it is not what I want to wear, but what I want Stoli to wear! As I was checking my email this morning, I noticed one from Snapfish, and as I was clicking it to delete, the subject caught my eye! Snapfish and Petsmart are teaming up and hosting a pet photo contest!! You can check it out here...

And I definitely want to enter Stoli in the Funny pet category, but I am torn on what he should wear. This is one of my favorites,

but I am not sure if it has enough in it to win it!

Then I was also thinking of maybe putting him in a polo shirt (with the collar popped of course), his shorts, and sunglasses, and letting him stand on the corvette seat with his paws on the wheel. He could be one happening dog. Stoli has been in the corvette before and he has even put his paws on the wheel, so I don't think I will get much objection from Art. But maybe to be safe, it will be another one of those Saturday projects while Art is at work kinda things.

I had a visitor at work today that reminded of a day little A. was in the office with me. I was sitting at my desk and noticed a halloween bug crawling on my stack of invoices (we call them Halloween bugs because they are black and orange, or black and red, but I think they are actually called boxelder bugs). Anyway, these bugs frequently visit us in the office, and apparently they are frequent visitors to little A. at home as well. When she was here, I had her set up in the back room off of the main office watching tv and coloring. Well she came out of her "private office" with this disgusted look on her face and something pinched between her fingers. She went straight to Uncle Art's desk and said, "Uncle Art this BUG (drawn out and emphasized with disgust and annoyance) was on my desk and I DO NOT like bugs, so you need to do something about it." At this point we were all rolling over laughing and asked her why she would pick up and carry the bug to us if she does not like them so much. Little A. did not have a reason, but went on to tell us that she has these bugs at home on her window and they "seriously gross her out, for real!" So Uncle Art took the bug from her and squished it in a tissue, then little A. was on her way. So when I had my visitor on my desk today, I cried out, "EWWW, Uncle Art! I do not like this BUG and you NEED to do something about it!" So thanks A. for making us laugh again!

Happy Belated Easter!

Just because we don't have kids, doesn't mean we don't take Easter pictures! This year, Stoli wanted to audition for the coveted Cadbury Egg bunny position...here are his head shots:

And yes, we did dye eggs too! I really wanted to dip Stoli's paw in the dye and press it on an egg, but Art was dead against it, and won in the end. So, sorry Mom, you will not be getting an egg from Stoli this year. Maybe next year that will be a Saturday project while Art is at work. :)

Giving it a try....

Our family is not really into the Myspace thing, and while I enjoy Facebook, it really doesn't allow for blogging, so I am taking Brandie's lead and setting up a blog to try and keep all the scattered family updated on our happenings. While I may not have much to write about, I will try my best to post as often as I can; not only about me and Art, but also about Jen's family. (Since Jen already has her hands full with her kids, and is most likely the last one to start a blog,and I live so close, it will be easy to upload some pics and stories of her amusing kids. Don't worry, I will get her consent first!)

Art has been asking me what I want for my birthday, and today, I figured it out! I told him I want a flip camera in pink. Now that I am blog-savy I think it is only fitting to upload videos every now and then, and no easier way than Flip, right?? For those of you not certain what it is, here is a link http://www.theflip.com/ You can even buy an underwater case that allows you take it 30 feet underwater! Super fun!! I know you all want to see a video (instead of this boring still) of Stoli swimming during the summer!

Speaking of Stoli, be sure to check back often, as I will be showcasing his wardrobe. When you don't have kids to dress up, your dog becomes the next best thing!

That about does it for this entry, hope you all enjoy!
