A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

What a gorgeous fall day we had today!! I had the chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine with my niece, nephew, and puppy for a bit. Even though we were over run with ladybugs!! Those things were all over the place and they would not stay off of us! We played in the leaves, let Bailey swim in the pond for a bit...just enjoyed the sun on our faces after some cold, wintery days. This was Morgan's first time playing in the leaves and he had a blast! (It was Bailey's first time, too. I have to admit...she's a bit of a leaf-pile hog. Crazy dog.) And...my dog has been raiding what's left of my dad's garden. First she was stealing little tomatoes...she loves those but she looks so goofy with that little red tomato hanging out of her mouth. Goofy dog. And now...she's moved on to the cabbage. Yep...she eats cabbage. It think my Newfie might be a vegetarian! I didn't get any pictures of her raiding the garden but I did snap a few pictures that I wanted to share. It's been a while.

See what I mean?? Those ladybugs were impossible to get away from today! They were on our clothes, in our hair, and even hitchin' a ride on the shades. :) But it was okay...still a beautiful and glorious day. It was a good day. *sigh* Don't you just love those?? Hope you had a good day, too!! Thanks for stopping by!!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Christmas!! EEE!! We are getting real snow this time!! Big, fluffy flakes pouring down! Only a ground covering so far but we're supposed to get some accumulation overnight. We must be getting something...my DirecTv is having an awful time. (Those of you with satellite tv know what I'm talking about...right, Gail??) :) Just making a little test post to see what I think of the new template...not so sure. Gonna give it a day or two but at least it's not that boring black blog anymore!! heehee!! Did I mention...I think it's about time for me to tweak some security settings and give Facebook another try?? I miss my FB buds!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Under construction...

Well...something happened with my blogger template. It kept showing "image not available" via Flickr and I was waiting and hoping that it would get fixed but...alas...I had to finally give it up. So for now...my blog is boring and black until I can figure out what I want to do with it. Pardon my boring dust while I'm getting things adjusted. Argh. Did I mention we're getting snow, sleet, fog...fun stuff like that?? We're under a winter weather advisory. I'm so not ready for this yet. And...70 days until Christmas. I think I'm having a wee bit of a panic attack...ack!! Thanks for visiting my boring black blog!! (Say it...it's hard to say! Boring black blog...boring black blog...heehee!!) I'll get it lookin' better soon....hopefully!! ;)

This makes me sick...

Ralph Lauren decided that being 5'10" and 120 pounds (and a size 2-4) was too big. They altered her photo to make her look like this! Can you believe it?? And then they fired her for being too fat!! A size 2-4!! Too fat!! Seriously?? This has to stop. Don't get me on my soapbox about the connection between the media and the epidemic of eating disorders!! SO many things to say! THIS is too fat??

They looked at this girl and decided that her waist and hips were too big and her boobs were too small and photoshopped her into that ridiculous, big-headed, anorexic creature! How sick is that?? The good news for her is she's all over the news now and women everywhere are outraged. She was a super model before but hopefully now...she'll be even more successful and Ralph Lauren will just go away. K...I think I've made my point. Vent and rage over...Ralph Lauren sucks. Okay...now it's over. :)
