Best fortune ever. A picture-perfect pumpkin. Sleepy kitty at our neighborhood hardware store. Fried mac and cheese. (Yeah, I went there.) Not a lot of excitement this week. Until… Somebody is happy to have their boy home for fall break. And so am I.

Priceless
Because every week should begin with a video of gorillas who are enchanted by a caterpillar.
Charlie Brown and the Great Exhibit
For the longest time, I’ve wanted to get out to Santa Rosa, California, to visit the Charles M. Schultz Museum. At one point I thought that maybe I could find a way to incorporate a stop at the museum while meeting my goal of visiting California’s wintering sites of the monarch butterfly. I’d scoured maps…
Oh, how I’ve missed you…
Since late last year, I’ve rarely bothered to go into the cookie aisle at the grocery store. As soon as I saw the end-of-season hole in the shelf where my beloved Mallomars used to be stocked, the aisle lost its meaning. The other cookies perked up, straightening themselves up in the hopes that we would…
Fun Find
I was rummaging through an entire hard-drive’s worth of old photo files in search of some requested images for a publication when I stumbled across these. Oh my gracious, I took these before I even had a blog! This is the first – and only – time I’ve seen this vehicle in person. A total fluke….
Aloha!
I’m happy to report that, after today, all four Hello Kitty collectors cups and spoons are accounted for. Today’s yogurt: chocolate milkshake with strawberries. Today’s stop: Honolulu. My work is complete. Thank you, Yogurtland. It’s been fun! As you can see, we’ve consumed more than our fair share of yogurt over the past few weeks….
Hidden
“Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are hidden in the most unlikely places.” – Roald Dahl I saw this quote on twitter today and it reminded me of this super fun little find in my blueberries a few days ago. I keep looking at this photo because…
Speech lessons
Funniest video I’ve seen in a long time. This walrus rocks it out.
Two Down, Two to Go
I now have the second of four collector Hello Kitty spoons and bowls from my new favorite frozen yogurt place. Last time it was strawberry lemonade sorbet. This trip: red velvet cake batter. Nom baby nom. Can’t wait for trip number three.
Neighborhood “Library”
I tried a new running route tonight and passed by this strange little contraption. From a distance, I thought it was a short, over-the-top birdhouse. But as I moved closer, I realized it was something different. A library…? I was totally intrigued. At first I thought it was just a really sweet gesture by a…
Detour
A few graffiti stops on our way home this morning yielded some super-cool results. A google search once we got home yielded a ton of information about the super-cool artist responsible for this graffiti, Scribe. Wow, you learn something new every day. Love, love, LOVE.
Color Me Happy!
We did it! We ran our first 5k! The Color Run lived up to its self-proclaimed distinction of being “The Happiest 5k on the Planet.” We saw runners in tutus, togas, and clown wigs…runners of every age, size, and fitness level. And everyone was happy to be there to share in this funky experience. The…
Hey there, Bear!
Check it out! Country Bear Jamboree is ready for the Fourth! This is his second costume change this week. Unfortunately I missed taking a photo of the other costume. Apparently someone in the family has graduated because country bear was wearing a graduation cap on my way to work this morning. Then he was channeling Uncle Sam…
Hope you’ll agree
I know it’s unusual for me to have two video blog posts in a row, but I’m now of the belief that every week needs to close with a whale blowing out a rainbow.
Just Because…
I don’t know, what can I say? It’s Wednesday. But tell me, is there ever a bad time for baby meerkats?
Let’s try this again, shall we?
Okay, so last night my 5k training hit a bit of a snag. Actually, it was more like hitting a wall. A 91-degree wall. You know, it’s hard to run through a wall. But I sure tried. Eventually I became sick, overheated, and completely discouraged — I couldn’t even finish the run. It was awful….
Bulldog Beauty
Meet Tyson. Winner of the 33rd annual Drake Relay’s Most Beautiful Bulldog Contest. He is also the headline of THE best news story of this week. In my mind, anyway. Photo source for all photos here. You can also find the dogs’ names and background. Including background on ol’ Pork Chop, here. Chin up, baby….
Home Opener
Well, well, well…look at what I spotted on the way home! Country Bear Jamboree’s Easter garb has been swapped out for Cardinals gear — just in time for tomorrow’s home opener. Complete with mylar balloons and ball cap. Just when I thought these people couldn’t get any cooler. I wonder if they have any idea…
You Snooze, You Lose
(Sorry, you might not think this is as funny as I did.)
Construction Site Humor
This big fella is just down the street. He made for a big smile on a dreary Sunday. Gotta love how fun really can be found anywhere.
hey there, friends
