Nothing Matters…

Libby is on a diet. The vet gently suggested that she would live 2 years longer if she weren’t so damned fat. Here’s the deal… every single time I get a cup of coffee, Libby gets a treat. I drink a LOT of coffee. When I leave and come home, she gets another treat. She knows that if I’m working and she tries to get in my lap (she thinks she’s a Chihuahua), if she bats those big browns, she gets another treat. Libby knows the words, Taco Bell and McDonalds. She also knows how to spell Taco Bell now. Seriously.

Libby is fat because she has bad parents. Sort of like the whole ‘clean your plate’ thing. She really doesn’t care much about getting her girlish figure back. She believes me when I tell her she’s sexy.

Libby was working on her tan today. I caught this shot as she was most likely dreaming of a double beef burrito supreme.

One step outside and I can hear the roar of no less than 100 bajillion lawnmowers. We’re about to add to the noise. At least the sun is shining and the temps have topped the 80 degree mark! My next home is going to have a very small yard. Very small.

It’s a really tough job – but someone has to do it…

With all the strenuous labor requirements and appalling working conditions around here (seriously — long sleeves in JULY?!?), I think we both deserve a big fat raise!

(No raise and I’m going to see if I can get us in an Apple commercial — you know the ones…
“I’m a Mac — and I’m a PC”)

It’s truly an amazing world we live in, and most of the time, we don’t even think about it. It seems as if everyone now has a computer (or 10) with an Internet connection available 24/7. We are no longer just connected to the Internet at home, but many are like me — receiving emails on a cell phone that that I can also use to browse the Internet, get locations through Google maps or GPS, post messages and photos to my Twitter and FaceBook accounts, and even post to my BLOG if I want to. I’m mega connected, and you probably are too.

Factor in how easy it is now to connect with family and friends through social media, and once you connect with someone you haven’t seen in forever, you’re instantly pulled into the ‘way back’ machine. I’ve been exchanging emails with an old friend that I haven’t seen since high school and it’s got me thinking about ME.

Everyone changes — not just in appearance, but as we grow older, we also all grow to be different people than we were in high school. Don’t we? Do you ever think about how you’re different now than you were back then?

This post reminded me of an older post that deserves a look. The video still makes me laugh:
