Scrubs

I can't help it - I wish this show could go on forever...Best. Show. Ever.

I love my dog park...

I love the fact that not only do I live 4 minutes from a HUGE dog park, but that I have great views along the way. So this is the view of Garden of the Gods from the entrance to my complex:

The cute little path that I take for about 2 minutes before I'm at the park:

Well, when I got there, a big storm appeared to be rolling in:

I was right. Fortunately, it didn't start until an hour or so after I got home.

Bailey loves the park! Each time we go, he "abandons" me for other owners. Apparently I don't give him enough love at home.

There are pretty patches of sunflowers all over the place:

And you can see the dog park from my front porch!! It's also a good shot of the storm coming in. It's going to be AWESOME watching the snow storms roll in come late September/October!

Jealous?? :-)

Bailey Update

I've been updating on myself but not on Bailey! He has gone from a whopping 128 lbs (oops, Mommy!) to now a nice 108. The vet said somewhere in the 110 range would be good. And he's still up to his old, weird, silly habits.

This is my current fav - it looks like he dumped his toy basket over (notice the paw still in the basket) and played until he was pooped. Love it.

I like ice cream

Bailey likes ice cream. And luckily, I found a doggie ice cream in the frozen desserts section in Safeway!! So I indulged myself (since doggies things like this are just as important to the owner, if not more, than to the dog).

I didn't know how messy it would be, so I fed it to him outside. Turns out it stayed mostly in the container/his mouth, so I could have done it inside. But better safe than sorry!

So here's the proof that it's actually doggie-safe ice cream. It's actually made by Purina!

First, I attempted to feed it to him in the original container. It was too frozen and a little too small for the Monster's face!!

So I thawed it in the microwave, put it in his dog bowl, and he went to town! Much better!

So for those of you who think dogs doing anything is adorable, here's a little action shot! (Only 11 seconds...)

Are you ready for some football?

Well, I sure am!! All this talk of training camps starting is REALLY starting to get me amped up!! I don't want to wait until October!! At the same time, I have some real internal conflicts happening. I'm a Cowboys girl through and through...and I am fighting the urge to go throw on my Tony Romo jersey.

But I've really grown to like the Broncos! And I can't wait to see Tebow get some on field action...hopefully he gets a chance and does well!

Don't worry - when it comes down to it ... it wil always be GO COWBOYS!!!

Before and After

It’s time for yet another chapter in my wonderful hair story. My hair has been dyed too many times to count. It’s been everything from Strawberry blonde to black. It’s been a short little chin-length cut, and halfway down my back. Thankfully, though, I’ve never had a bob or shaved it all of. However, I’ve even received chili-bowl haircuts as a child (thanks mom and dad), complete with my dad combing it exactly like his hair when my mom was out of town. Talk about traumatic. I even blow dry it daily and use a good mix of my straightener and curling irons regularly.

So needless to say, my hair hates me. I don’t think I’ve had more than half a dozen good hair days in my entire life. And technically, part of it is genetics – my dad has thin hair – but I have put it though a lot of abuse over the years.

Long enough story short, my hair has really been getting long and I haven’t had it cut for a while. So it was long and probably not really healthy. I took the big “plunge” and told the lady to chop off all the bad stuff.

So...Before (not my best shot, but shows how badly I needed a cut):

After:

Taylor Park Camping - Weekend #2

We loved camping at Taylor Park Reservoir so much that we went back!!! I didn't take near as many pictures this time, but we got some great shots of an amazing rainbow!! (And check it - you can see 2 rainbows in the 2nd and 3rd pictures!
