New Pic of Alice - So cute!

It's all in the Timing

So this area's been in a drought since we moved here three years ago but this week it starts raining.  Just in time for me to house train a new dog.  Perfect.

Me: "Alice go potty"

Sam, "Mom! She pooped again!"
Me, "#$%^&*"
Sam, "I'm great at finding poop.  I'm the Poop Finder."
Me, "Well, I'm promoting you to Poop Preventer…….Hey, get back here…."

John, "So, how do you teach her not to crap in the house?"
Me, "Well, I caught her earlier and got her outside before she did anything."
John, "But how do you teach her?"
Me, "Um…I'm just going to…. hmm…teach her."
John, "So you're going to teach her."
Me, "yeah?"
John, "Good plan"

And she keeps stealing my slipper

I told her to stop acting like a stereotype but she won't listen.

New Additional to the Family!

Actual ABC News Article:

'Zombie' Bees Surface in the Northeast

…."They fly around in a disoriented way, get attracted to light, and then fall down and wander around in a way that's sort of reminiscent of zombies in the movies,"….."It's sort of a combination of zombies and aliens mixed together,"…...But there's not necessarily any threat of a zombie (bee) invasion anytime soon, John Hafernik, a professor of biology at San Francisco State University….

Yeah, right. 

The Oscar Race

Me, "We should see all the movies nominated for Best Picture."
John, "I'm up for that."
Me, "Oh wait, there are 9 movies not 5, right?"
John, "yes."
Me, "hmmm"
John, "We can start with the Wolf of Wall Street."
Me, "But that's 3 hours long…"
John, "Gravity has gotten really good reviews."
Me, "Space movie without aliens or anything blowing up. Why?"
John, "12 Years a Slave?"
Me, "That will make me cry."
John, "Dallas Buyers Club?"
Me, "More crying"
John, "Captain Phillips?"
Me, "Pirates should have eye patches and say 'Argh'."
John, "We're not seeing any of these movies, are we?"
Me, "Nah, I'm over it."
