RUBY! the (not so) mighty water dog…

Y’all know Ruby the Pug. She’s is the Owner of my Heart and the Ruler of my World. (Though Clementine the Tart is seriously trying to stage a coup and steal both titles away from Ruby the Pug. I think she thinks being pregnant gives her automatic dibs…)

Anyway, y’all also know I’m a lake girl. (well, a water girl…lake, ocean, river, pond, puddle, faucet, sprinkler…whatever. If it’s water, I’m there.) This past week weekend I took the boys to Lake Ouachita for a fun-filled day on the pontoon boat. I am Capitan, hear me Yar.

We decided that it was high time Ruby the Pug tagged along. Now, Ruby the Pug is all muscle. She’s rock solid. And has NEVER been in water above her little paws…so I stopped at PetCo and purchased her a life jacket.

Oh, and how she rocked that life jacket…

Ruby was excited about her adventure. She didn’t mind wearing the awesome that was pink and she absolutely LOVED the boat ride. I had very good feelings about Ruby the Pug becoming Ruby the MIGHTY Water Dog.
We stopped at an island and we let Ruby roam the bank while I got in the water. Of course, where I am, she thinks she needs to be…so she immediately ran toward me…and immediately freaked out when the ground was no longer beneath her feet. She paddled and paddled and paddled and finally made it to me.

and if I was in the water, this is where she sat. The. Entire. Time. I have a Pug Silhouette tan line. It’s lovely.
We tried several times to get her to swim, play and love the water without me.

but she always just ended up on the bank, staring at me from below, BEGGING me to end her torture.
So I finally did.

Ruby the Pug is much more a sungoddess than a water dog. Guess she’s not a Pisces like her momma…

I’m making lasagna tonight. Jealous? 4 cheese and spinach. My mouth is already watering…

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the lake with the boys–tooling around in the party barge for the afternoon. I can’t wait.

Sunday I’ll be doing yard work. Hopefully it won’t be 1 million billion trillion degrees outside. Unfortunately I’ve been putting off mowing the backyard…and now it’s a jungle out there. Anyone have a bush hog I can borrow?

You guys got plans this weekend?

as SPONGEBOB SAYS: I’m READY

I can’t wait to see my BFF Maria Geraci in a couple of weeks. I kinda look a little glazed in this pic. I’m pretty sure this was after I had been playing Wine Bitch at the literary signing. I was sipping as I served… hey! I smuggled the wine in so surely I had every right to sip…
I also can’t wait to go here: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Hogsmeade

I don’t care if I have to go alone, but I’m hoping one of my friends will go with me. Maria says it’s too hot, but she may just have to suck it up and get over it… (DO YOU HEAR ME, TOMATO?)

What else am I ready for?

Oh yes! I’M READY FOR JULY 27…BECAUSE THAT’S THE DAY LOVE SUCKS! HITS THE SHELVES!

for the love of frost bite and peat moss…SIMMER! SIMMER!

Can someone please tell me how it became July? I mean, I swear it was just January! Now the year is half over? And soon (25 days) LOVE SUCKS! will actually be on the shelves!

Really?

(BTW, both BITE ME! and LOVE SUCKS! will also be available on Kindle…)

Can someone else please explain why I always and WITHOUT FAIL burn the roof of my mouth when I cook microwave pizza? (We will not discuss the fact that said microwave pizza was this morning’s breakfast.) Now I have a lovely blister that I won’t leave alone.

BTW, if you ask me about my books and want to know if my vampires sparkle, this is the answer I’m going to give you: I sparkle, my vampires do not.

Hey Oxford! Are you ready for some Melf sparkle?

PeeWee’s Playhouse

Do you know how much I loved this show?

And look! Laurence Fishburne was Cowboy Curtis!!

This show was so funny and still holds its own today. Also it’s a lot more adult that people realize, which makes it even more awesome now that I totally ‘get it.’

Check this out. Dolly Parton was awesome on the show. And wow, look at how hot she is in that Kitty-Cat dress!

I love Pee Wee. If anyone out there wants to buy me all the seasons of his show on DVD, I wouldn’t turn it away… hee!

unicorns, etc

First I’d like to share a snippet of just exactly what goes on inside my #2 son’s head:

“Mom, why is it that we never see a solid color Boston Terrier? They’re always cow colored.”

Cow Colored = awesome

Yesterday I was hangin with my friend Laura and her kiddo, Ellis. Ellis was wearing a t-shirt with a weird looking unicorn on it and it said “They stole my freaking kidney!” Okay, this was funny just by itself, but I had to know that story.

And now you will know the story, too.

This one is my favorite: Charlie the Unicorn 2 (The Banana King)

And here’s where they steal his freaking kidney:

There are many others and I plan to watch them all. Because they are warped and awesome and just this side of WTFery.

back from Cleavage, um I mean, Beaver Lake

It takes 4 hours to drive to Beaver Lake. My air is out in my car. I was swimming in my own sweat by the time I arrived.

It was so worth it.

I am back. Relaxed. And ready to rock.

Oh. and I tried out a new bathing suit…you guys think I’ve done cleavage before? Um no. This suit was made in Cleavagetown designed by Cleavage von Cleavageton. I love the suit, but I’m not so sure it’s suitable for mixed company. Or at least if children are nearby. Like in the same county.

I thought about posting a picture, but then I might have to change the rating of this blog…

Oh hell. Why not? You tell me, yay or nay? Do I bravely wear this suit amongst the mere mortals or do I wear it only amongst my goddess like girlfriends?


Did y’all have a good weekend?

The Rowdy Beaver is a bar in Eureka Springs and I’ll be there one day this weekend. When I’m not hanging at the Rowdy Beaver, I’ll be hanging on Beaver Lake with my friends. Don’t worry, I’m gonna hold on to my glasses this time.

Y’all have a good weekend!

Speaking of TV… (this would be a reference to yesterday’s blog, fyi)

Go here and vote for this guy. He’s funny. And I would totally watch his show–if I still had cable.

Watch his audition. He’s pretty damn awesome.

Thanks to Stinkydog for posting this first and letting me steal it.
