Taking a ride on the Amtrak Coastal Starlight chugging along the central coast of California

Please excuse the dirty window. I had no control over that :)

My weekends have gone to the dogs

Last weekend I assisted my mom with her doggie day care biz. In addition to our two dogs, we were watching four other dogs. Below is a snippet of my experience last weekend.

After a nice walk, the dogs come home to romp around. As you can see from this video, we had quite a motley crew of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.

I am looking forward to seeing who we have this weekend.

I'm on pink clouds

I am down South at my mom and dad's place. We've got a full dog house here. Here's a picture of miss Lulu

My Grumpy Sidi Kitty

I have a fifteen year old cat named Obsidian (AKA Sidi Kitty. I tried to take a picture of her with her new pink color and purple heart shaped tag, and she would have nothing to do with it.
She was feisty to the very end.

See the Drama Unfold

She is such a curmudgeon, but I love her still. 

I'm having a hard time going to sleep

I  have been up most of the evening playing around Facebook. I can't believe how addicting it can be. It's like a black that sucks you right in.

I know it is not a good excuse for not blogging; however, it's the only one I've got.

I want to share a quote that I saw as part of someone's e-mail address.
"Don't let fear dictate your fate."

Mr. Bill the classic incarnation of fear itself.  "Oh no, Mr. Bill"

Besides fear and worry add creases to your forehead which are not attractive.

See what I mean. It's not attractive one bit.

One could possibly try ironing their forehead, but I think that would be too painful.

See the guy with the red face. He is NOT a happy camper

There is always Botox, but who wants to inject botulism injected  into their forehead.

This guy had a series of Botox injections, and look what happened to him.

 The moral behind this blog is to take deep breaths, relax your body, and be content.

Pictures of people, places, and things that I like

Earlier I shared in my blog that I will be adding pictures.

Well, I thought that I would display pics of important people, places, and things that are important to me.

 

Meet Lily and Bella. They are my adopted sisters. I was an only child up until a few years ago when Bella came along and stole our hearts. Then came Miss Lily. She thinks she is ferocious around other dogs. Her BARK is definitely louder than her bite.

 This is a pic of me with my mom and dad. Mom on the left and Dad on the right. This was taken in the lobby of Embassy Suites in Irvine. Embassy Suites has the best morning buffet. This is not an ad for them, just my personal opinion. 

Ahhh I have to confess that I enjoy looking at fish and other sea critters. I am working on taking better fish pictures. It's difficult when they are behind glass.

I'm not exactly sure where I took these two sunset pictures. It might have been somewhere in SLO County

Don't worry! I'm still blogging along

After viewing other people's blogs, I realized that mine looks kind of plain without pictures. So I am going to make an effort to take pics of people, places, and things that are important in my life. And, yet, at the same time, I won't bore you with posting a picture without a description or comment. Throughout today, I will keep that in mind. And Who Knows! I might be posting some awesome photos with my iPhone. Don't expect professional grade photographs here.

You know, some of the best pictures I have taken have been with a fun saver disposable camera. Maybe I'll put some of those photos on here as well.

Gotta go for now!
