Can You Dig It?

So this past weekend Todd and I were working in the yard. It was 70 degrees in the middle of March...gorgeous. I am digging up the rock garden and getting it ready for us to plant later. I freaking dug up 3 freaking Tiger Salamanders. Yes I did! I am a native. I have never seen or heard of these things living in the wild in Colorado. So I pick up the phone and call our local reptile store and lo and behold Tiger Salamanders are native to Colorado. These little buggers were about 4 inches long, black bodies with greenish/yellow spots on them. They apparently grow to be nearly a foot long. They mostly come out at night and when it rains. Seriously? Can you believe it? The guy at the reptile store told me that if we brought them to him he would give us a couple bucks each - he would sell them as pets. He also told us how to build a new nest for them....so we did.

Attention Jay Cutler

Attention Jay Cutler. Ahem. Attention Jay Cutler. Listen to a caring Broncos fan. I know you are pissed. I know that our new coach did not handle this situation the best. I know you did not handle this situation the best. I know you got your feelings hurt. But my friend, you are acting like a pouty little girl by putting your house up on the market and threatening to not show up to training camp tomorrow. This is a business and you need to understand that everyone can be replaced. You should show up and be a leader. I want to see you in a Broncos uniform for many years to come. If you don't show up, then, see ya later sweetheart. I hope you get traded to someone we play so we can wipe that smart ass smile off your face.

Facebook

Hello. My name is Emily and I am a Facebook-aholic. I love Facebook. I don't like the applications and quizzes and crap...I just like checking out pictures and status updates. Maybe I would be better served by just doing "Twitter". Anyway. I was thinking the other night that Facebook is simply on-line voyeurism. I have opened this portal to everyone who I have met over my 36 years on this planet to see what I am doing, pictures of what I am doing and what I am thinking. I guess this all started when an ex-boyfriend of mine posted a comment on one of my pictures. Things with this ex ended nasty including a law suit...but we got over it and moved on. I felt like saying...."what business it of yours?" I know. I know. I could just block him or not of allowed me to be a "friend" but that is not the point. I starting thinking, that he lost his chance/privilage to know how I am when he broke my heart....right? Facebook opens a door to your private life....and I guess we all have to see if what is on the other side of the door is something we want to share with the world. I posed this question the other night at happy hour with Erin and Emily P. And....Em P had a great point. She said, why wouldn't I want people to see how I am doing? I have a great life. A great husband. And I couldn't be happier. Good point Em. Cheers!

Wow...I just realized....

....that I didn't blog at all in February. It's been 2 months since I blogged. Bad.

Famous Last Words

For about 3 weeks now, a pipe in our master bath shower rings this annoying loud shrill noise when we have the water on. Annoying. I have been saying, "you think we should call a plumber?" Todd says, "oh no, I can fix it." Famous last words. On Friday morning I say, "I want to call a plumber to come out next week." Todd says, "I will fix it this weekend." Ok. Sunday afternoon at 2 pm Todd starts tearing apart the shower. I say, "babe, want me to just call a plumber?" Silence. I hear banging. I hear drilling. I hear cussing. After a couple trips to Home Depot and back Todd believes he has figured out the piece he needs....but needs to get it at an Ace Hardware. It's 4:50 pm. They close at 5 pm. So we have no running water. Thank God we have a 2nd shower. I won't beat him up for this one....he's taking care of that himself.
