Mi perra la luchadora

and looking out the back door a few seconds ago. It's been raining in the desert and quite cold considering it was in the 100's last week.

Atilla.

My Atilla. I miss her. It's nearly been a year. I'm proud that I wasn't one of those dog owners that gave up a dog after it grew out of the cute lil puppy stage and never gave her up for anybody or thing. Super loyal, super gassy and super sassy. I love Boxers. 12 years -her name is spelled wrong intentionally. I know how Attila the Hun is supposed to be spelled.

Thank you for the days,
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me.
I'm thinking of the days,
I won't forget a single day, believe me.

I bless the light,
I bless the light that lights on you believe me.
And though you're gone,
You're with me every single day, believe me.

Days I'll remember all my life,
Days when you can't see wrong from right.
You took my life,
But then I knew that very soon you'd leave me,
But it's all right,
Now I'm not frightened of this world, believe me.

I went to an estate sale in Tempe Saturday and the front yard was covered wtih these flowers. This lady came out and asked why I was taking pictures of such ugly flowers.. totally blew my mind.. HOW are THESE UGLY?! Crazy people. I also went thrifting galore and scored some pretty good stuff. YIPPEE.

I also saw this rad small RV outside of a house near the estate sale. It wasn't much taller than I am and i'm 5'6. I looked it up and it's a Vixen. More info here I have this crazy idea in my head -when we have to move out of our awesome rental house I will buy an RV and live in that with my dogs. That way I am paying rent but it's really just a loan that i'm paying off instead of making somebody else rich. Then I can move my house every other week instead of being stuck in one place. OOH sounds so good.

Sunbathing dogs sharing a small dog bed

this works almost every time.. I bought it at my favorite store in LA-Wacko. My Mom nearly had a heart attack. I'm def not looking forward to the moment a real one shows up and tries to mate with it.

specimens from my bug collection. EEEEEEK!!!!!

this is one of the scorpions we caught when we first moved in. I put it in the jar and left it out in the sun and now it's black.

More random pics..

I always look so bored in my childhood pics..guess which one is me..I'm on my Uncle Bran's lap. That's my dad and older sister Cheryl on the right. My Uncle Brian is SO tall he has to lean down to go thru doors. My Dad grew up in Northern Minnesota and he went to the same high school as Bob Dylan. His family lived in the middle of nowhere, had to walk a mile to get the mail and cut wood all day so they weren't allowed to participate in any after school activities because my Grandma had 4 boys to raise alone in the woods and the boys had too much work to do at home.

My Dad has all kinds of crazy stories from his childhood. When he was younger they were throwing rocks at the chickens and thought they killed one of them so they had to hide the evidence before my grandma found out so he threw the chicken down the outhouse only to find out that the chicken was still alive, it was just unconscious when they first threw it in. My Grandma made them fish the chicken out of the outhouse.. YUCK!
Atilla and Ruby-Treat time!
I love how Ruby eats her treats. You'd think she spent a year in prison by the way she eats between her legs. She hasn't had any medical problems lately but she just wont put on any weight. I have been feeding them California Natural and it's not cheap $45 for a 36lb bag. She's just so hyper! Boxers are the greatest dogs ever tho.

Last night was a good night! I came home from work to find that American Airlines wrote me back regarding the airplane ticket that expired before I could use it and believe it or not, they sent me a $311 VOUCHER!! WOAH! I was so happy. I also did a month and a half worth of laundry and saw some lady pulling into her parking space but going way too far so she jumped the parking curb HA HA! I got a lot done last night and those are always the best nights.

Sorry about the comment approval now, I have a blog stalker leaving funny comments. Some people have more issues than I do (amazing huh?)
