Roach Motel.

I call this my Roach Motel.

It's where I stub out my used doobies. In the former planter. It's more fire-safe and it also messes with the squirrels. I also heard Stairway To Heaven  again yesterday and checked my hubby's itinerary and he actually goes to Vancouver first and then not to Calgary until the next week and it's over a 5 HR flight but it's funny with the 3 HR time difference even though he leaves at 8 am here he arrives at 10:30 am their time, seeming like it's only been 2 1/2 hours! HA!  Like a time warp.If you cross the International Date Line sometimes you can even lose an entire day and I can still remember the time I was away(I think it was in Egypt) and I e-mailed my hubby to wish child #8 a Happy Birthday and she was confused and said to him, "But my birthday isn't until tomorrow!" and he had to explain to her that where I was that it was already tomorrow. Of course he's not even started packing yet,either.

Paint me like one of your French girls.

Here is Beja all ready for his Playgirl photo shoot, ha,ha, just letting it all hang out.

He loves laying like this, and it's just sooooo funny.

Yesterday I also had to do my most-dreaded chore: cutting his nails and even after over a YR he's still impossible and the worst dog I've ever had trying to do it and he squirms, bites me, goes wild,and keeps trying to escape and it's such a nightmasre  and it's like to wrestle with a dwarf grizzly bear.

Yesterday and today it was also sooooo cold in the morning it was 9C when I woke up and only got to a high of 16C yesterday and not much sun and mostly cloudy and windy so we even had to bundle up and snuggle underneath blankets when we sat outside but today supposed to get up to a nicer 24C and yesterday I also took a nice still-warm blanket out of the dryer and wrapped it around myself and it was just the BEST feeling ever and felt like a big warm hug and like sitting out in the sun.

This is also little tiny baby black walnut fruits starting to grow on the tree and I can't believe it's already the middle of June and it's summer in just a few days and the schools are out in 2 weeks and I heard NYC won some stupid redneck sporting event and to celebrate they rioted and looted in the street and vandalized and trashed it(I'd hate to think what they'd do if they lost!!) and set fires to cars,etc. whereas Japanese fans at the World Cup were seen cleaning up the stands after the game so that they wouldn't leave any garbage or  mess behind.

2 totally different cultures.

Deep down, I'm just a child wanting to become someone's favorite person.-rcccccs
