Yippee!! Hockey!! How I've longed for your return!

So, here's the deal..my life=not so exciting.. There isn't a whole lot to write about.. This week at my house it's like animal junction..or half the arc. We have our "resident" cat, Dagwood (confined to one side of the house) and Lud (my sister and BIL's greyhound. Individually all three of these animals are wonderful (well, our cat is kind of a pain..well, a big pain sometimes...) But together they are just a lot of work...The resident cat has the opposite side of the house as Dag, she has my room, the spare room. hallways and the bathroom. Lud is the luckiest of them all he gets the living room, dining room, kitchen, and the breezeway.. Plus, the outside.. But its just a bunch of baby gates to keep them all separated..However, Dag is a little climber those baby gates are just an invitation for him to climb, or jump over them by getting on the desk..I guess when you only weigh 6 lbs these things are a lot easier (jumping and climbing). Plus, our cat is mean and she isn't warming up to Dag, but with the dog being there it makes it harder to try and get them to be friends.. On the other side of this, Dags tumor in his mouth is getting bigger.. It makes me very sad to know that one day it will kill him..I guess I try not to think about it.. Even though I find myself thinking about it when I go in there to see him. But I'm working on a little round "blanket" or thing for him to sleep on..I'm hoping to finish it today ..I'll take some pics and maybe I can remember to post them tomorrow. The other thing that I've done is made a felted skull. Its a pattern that I got off of the Lionbrand website.. I like skulls so I saw it had to make it.. Its pink.. What else...hmmm.. There really isn't much else. BUT- The 2007-2008 hockey season started last night and tonight my lovely MN Wild play and I'm so excited.. So here is the thing, the blond is SO cute, how could you not want to watch him?? I mean really..He's cute.. He's Mikko Koivu (me-ko koi (like the fish)- vu) He's from Finland.. Anyways, the dark guy He's Derek Boogaard..The "Boogieman" he's what they call an enforcer.. He's the guy that will kick your ass! He's 6"7'. 258 lbs.. I'm like 5"2' He's pretty cute too, just not that much in the picture. Derek and his brother hosted a Hockey fight camp this summer, and it made news of the weird even.. He is from Canada.. He doesn't play all the time, since the ass kicking is hard work.. but I hope they win.. GO WILD!

It's a GIRL!

Yippee!! Yippee! Well, I'm not talking babies here people. I'm talking pumpkins!! Here's my proof. That little nub at the bottom of the flower will soon be a pretty orange pumpkin- assuming the plant lives, and that end doesn't get eaten off...

Ok, what else, I have pics-o-plenty tonight. The only thing that sucks is that I have dial-up and it's slow tonight to to upload 1 pic takes a long time...The up side is that I can watch the TWINS while I'm waiting for the pictures to load..So here is my topic for the day. People who have stuffed animals in the back window of their cars. If you are one of these people please explain it to me. I don't understand this, and I think it is stupid. I see this crap pretty much everyday when I am leaving work. Now, I was going to drive around by work and capture this lovely sight..faded teddy bears and kitty cats. Beanie babies stacked on top of each other. But I got off work early for a change and wanted to come straight home, so I did. But I figured this would not be a hard thing to find and that I could just go up to the grocery store or Wal-Mart and it wouldn't be an issue. It was! This must not be something that people do in my town, otherwise they are to embarrassed to go out when people will see their 18 frogs, loving each other in the window.. SO I had to re-create just for the sake of my rant. But I will find some other cars with them in for real..These pictures aren't the best because it was like 8pm and there was alot of glare from the sky, but it makes my point. I put Elmo right in the middle to make sure that he was blocking my view..

And while driving around, probably looking like some kind of freak-a-zoid, I saw this dandy of a license plate! I wonder if it's an occupation or a name...Hopefully ya'll can see it ok, it says "POTMAN" it was parked outside of a restaurant and I didn't want to look like a total freak so I just stopped and took one pic, otherwise I would have gotten a better one.. da na na nananan dananan POTMAN (sung to the tune of Batman).

So was the post a let down? Or was it least somewhat interesting? It only took me 1 hour to do..because of the slow uploads. So, I guess that's all I have.. Oh, I started my snake scarf. it seems to be going pretty well so far, I hope that it turns out and doesn't look like crap.. that happens sometimes.. Have a great weekend!
