Time to Recap My Life

I have been mostly updating my blog at work so I have been unable to include any pictures so here is a quick recap of the month of July. Cy and I spent the
Fourth of July in Wichita, His parents had a block party and Cy's sister, Corie, hired a Death Metal band for the entertainment. It was awesome! I also got to see my Madison in Wichita, I though I need to include a picture of her. Then when we returned to the Lou, Robert came and visited us. He is from Finland so he wanted this picture under the American flag so I though it would be a good one to post. Then we went to KC to help see my brother's new house and celebrate my mom and Rick's (my Bro-in-law) birthdays(sorry I have no pictures of that weekend... my fault) I will tell you that the house was really cute. I also got Rick an awesome over sized Star Wars birthday card that plays the theme song. We had to rush back to St Louis on Sunday so we could see Montly Crue in the VIP seats! I lost my ticket so I had to beg the usher to let me in. So after all that I am so ready to sit and home and do nothing......

Sweatin' To The Oldies

This morning on my way into the building at work I noticed a limo parked in front. I know that no one is driving a limo to Daniel and Henry to pay their insurance premiums. We do, however, have a couple of radio stations in my building. Having a limo out front is not an uncommon thing. I have stood on the elevator many times with strange looking people and wondered, “Is that someone famous and I am too lame to know who?” That did not happen today because as the limo door opened I noticed a pair of tight, short, bright red pair of running shorts with some blindingly white running shoes and out popped Richard Simmons! I didn’t get a chance to speak to the workout king but seeing him was exciting enough. I think I will do a little sweating to the oldies tonight in honor of my brief encounter with Richard Simmons.

Cesar Milan You Are a God

I recently borrowed Cesar Milan’s book “How to be the Pack Leader” from the library. I don’t actually expect to be the pack leader. I know that role goes to Cy. Cricket and him have been battling that one out for years. I am what my mother likes to call a marshmallow with Laika as a result I have become her own living chew toy. I am the one that taught her to get on the couch, I snuggle with her in the bed and I am the one that treats her like a lap dog even though she weights 40+lbs so you think she would revere me but no, that adoration goes to Cyrus the disciplinarian. I haven’t started reading the book yet but I am hoping that Cesar can help me be a dog whisperer. Laika is a German Shepherd after all. They teach them to attack bad guys and find drugs, surely I can teach Laika to listen to me.

This week was kind of a bad week for me. First of all Cyrus had been in Chicago all week with his friend Robert supposedly looking at business school for Robert but mostly having a boys week. Then I found out that my neighbor's 10 week old wiener dog, Ramona, had be to put sleep because she had distemper. Laika got spayed the next day and I was a hot mess all day long worrying about her. She was fine of course. Then I found out that a puppy down the street also had to be put to sleep for Distemper. So again I was freaking out. I took Laika to the vet and they assured me she was fine since she did have all her shots(so that is what I spent all that money on). Cyrus and Robert are coming to STL tomorrow so hopefully things will turn around.
