So.....

So once again, I have been told that I am behind on my blogging. I know, I know I am... its sad really.... I've just been so busy with school and work and sometimes, but blogging has to go on the back burner, and also, sometimes I just don't feel like my life is really quiet interesting enough to blog about... but things have been quiet exciting around here. 

For one, little girl is finally starting to get the hang of the whole going potty outside thing, which is a BIG relief! She's growing so so fast! She has one more appointment in 3 weeks for her last parvo booster and then she's done! YAY!!!! They (Belle and Brody) still seem to be playing really really rough, but I'm not sure if that should concern me because she doesn't really yelp, I know that they have to play to learn the rules and how to interact, I just thing of her as being so delicate all the time. I can't even imagine when I have kids.... 

So, I must confess I've kind of become addicted to Desperate Housewives.... I still don't know everything that is going on, but I started watching it on Lifetime during my break on Tuesdays and Thursdays... I feel like this might could be bad for my horrid little habit of procrastination..... but it will kind of suck you in....

I've also been trying to drink more water, I think I'm getting dehydrated... which, FYI everyone is actually in a state of constant dehydration..... so tip of the day, drink more water! Its yummy. 

Little girl is trying to get up on the bed and I think she smells like pee.... which isn't surprising because she hasn't quiet learned yet not to step in her pee when she's done... she's special...

Oh, and quick request, I added this gadget on my page called adsense. I can earn money based on the number of times an add is clicked on from my page... so if you don't mind, please visit every day or every couple hours of whatever and click away!  And if you have blogger and you put this on yours, I will click too! Thanks mucho mucho!

xoxo, Gretchen

Plot to steal a baby dinosaurous....

So again, I was commanded to post another blog so this one is about how I want to steal a baby dinosaur. But not just any baby dino... a very specific one! I want to steal a Cooperasarous! (pictured to the right...)

That's right Shannon... I'm hatching a plan...and I thought about going into detail here, but then I realized that you read this and that would be foolish..... but just know, that it will be the greatest plot ever... perhaps while he is under the watchful eye of the cats I will slip through the woods and snatch!!! mwahahaha.......

In other news, I had a test today, I have one tomorrow and one Tuesday... I'm so tired of studying and of tests... they are dumb. Also, Josh and I went to Dialog in the Dark Friday night and I highly recommend it for everyone!!! In short, you basically live the life of a blind person for about an hour... it is so incredible, its hard to even describe it. The best line I suppose would be their little catchphrase thing "your senses will never be the same"

its true.

Also, there is only 71 days until Christmas and I am starting to hit panic mode wondering how on earth I am going to be able to accomplish everything I have to do between now and then! Oh goodness....

and two... Josh and I have the best Halloween costumes ever this year! I will post pictures after the party!

the most random blog yet.

Ok, so I've had a few ideas for blogs rolling around in my head but I just heard something on Star94 and I couldn't wait any longer to do this.

I am listening to Cindy and Ray (for your ride home) and they were talking about the 700billion dollar bailout plan that everyone has heard about. Apparently some super smart guy at Time magazine sat down and figured out how to put this large sum of money into a concept that we, the normal people, could grasp. AND.... for 700BILLION DOLLARS these are a few of the things that could be done. Every person in the US could be given a little over $2000 or every household could be given a little over $6000, 700 billion would be enough to pay the income taxes for every person who makes $500,000 or less, it could fund a whole bunch of departments (defense, treasury, nasa(don't even get me started), or veteran's affairs) for like a year, it could put gas in every car on the road for 16 months, or we could pay off only 7% of our nation's debt (see post about US being white trash)... well, my question is: WHY DON"T WE DO ONE OF THOSE THINGS!!!!

It seems to me like putting $2000 into everyone's hands or $6000 into every household would do more to boost the economy or the income tax thing.... that would be really helpful... anyway... that's that.

Other ideas that I've had today are the following:

I will no long complain about how bad things are or apparently are not for me because I watched a news special last night about a family where the dad lost his construction job because the market was so slow, the mom who was a waitress couldn't afford to keep the family afloat so they lost their home and now mom, dad, and 3 small boys are living out of their 13 year old minivan in San Diego. I have no right to complain about not getting to go see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

I saw a news brief this morning about a man who rescued his Terrier from the jaws of a SHARK! and the little puppy lived!

Today is mine and Josh's 7 month anniversary and I am so happy! We have the best little life in the world and I wouldnt' trade it for anything in the whole world!!! We are so blessed, we have a wonderful house to live in, we have the 2 most gorgeous and wonderful dogs in the whole world and things couldn't be anymore wonderful!!! God has been great!
