are you the mix 94.7 $10,000 fugitive?

because this game is driving me crazazy!

you're going to be a whole foods today at lunch....you'd better watch out...i just might find you!

UPDATE:
so i spent an hour in the whole foods downtown. no luck. i didn't even get asked. but i heard a lot of asking. maybe i was at the wrong whole foods?!

rise and shine

puppies really don't understand the meaning of sleep, or at least pancakes doesn't. EARLY saturday morning rolls around...it's 430am. okay, so he has to pee...i take him out. then he wants to play...and we're all up. ugh! we can't go back to sleep. so we watch (at 430am) rob & big...followed by the greatest videos to ever appear on yo! mtv raps...which happened to be pretty good. oh it's nap time again....at 530am. we all pass out and wake up at 1030 :)

american idol

i'm getting pretty bored with this show. i hope the rumors are true and this is the last season because it's just pathetic. i just really can't stand how fake everyone is...

irish girl...carly smithson...you already made an album...and it BOMBED. you're husband is freakin' scary and you're already acting like you've won the whole competition (which you probably will).

david archuleta...the 17 year old kid whose dad is apparently the dad from hell. quit acting so shy and innocent. i'm telling you, this kid probably has something juicy to dig up...just wait :)

syesha mercado. the whitney wannabe. oh, i can't stand you...you're almost as bad as carly in the acting department.

kristy lee cook...oh lord help this girl. you can't sing unless its country...and sometimes even that's not good. and you're still on because people think you're "hot" your time is almost up

brooke white. really? you're THAT innocent? you've never seen a rated r movie? you probably say "golly gee" too. her husband should probably ben.....nevermind...i'll keep this clean

david cooke. now i kind of like him...but not that much. daughtry has been done. there cant' be two of you.

is that all of you? god i hope so. i can't stand it anymore. thank god for DVR.

now, please, don't get me wrong...i can't sing worth a crap...but ugh...you people are driving me CRAZAZY!

rainstorms and waking up at 4am

for...oh...almost a full week now, pancakes (the adorable tyke he is) LOVES to wake up at 4am! mommy and daddy...not so much! it's hard enough that he sleeps so awkward that i have to adjust to him, now he wants to wake up at (not even) the crack of dawn to play! oh how he LOVES to bite on my hand. we play this weird hand game where i hit his mouth and he sticks all four legs up in the air to try to stop me. all i want to do is sleep...but no..i have to play.

as for the rain - the storms rolled through about the same time we woke to play. it was nice. it was windy. it thundered and lightninged (i thought i made up that word! but it was in my word correction!). panfrancis (as we call him sometimes) wasn't afraid at all like most dogs get. though when i took him out, he didn't want to touch the wet grass.

oh well, he's adorable and i love him.

Math Tutor

for the past few months, i give up an hour and a half on wednesdays to tutor math to 4th graders. math. i hate math. i was actually conned into doing this. winstead (the company i work for) sponsors travis heights elementary school. one of the things they do is tutor. there are various subjects - but i think we've done math each year. so my co-worker, courtney, called me one day and said "hey, i'm doing this math tutoring gig at travis heights. we really need more volunteers." that was it. that's all she said...she GUILTED me into doing this and now she's on leave and isn't participating in it anymore.

i do have to admit, it is kind of fun. though math is SO not taught the way i learned it. they use all these boxes and have all these cool names and games for everything. for the past three weeks, we've played the dice game. you roll the dice, you say (for example) 1+1=2, or 2+2=4 so 4-2=2. it's a cute fun game and they enjoy it. they're learning division now...which is interesting. we play the dice game for multiplication and division and they have a cheat sheet to use....and I have to use it too! i've always been pretty bad (okay, horrible) at math...so, i guess this is a learning course for me too.

anyway, our time with the kids is down to 4 weeks...and i have to say, i'm pretty sad about that. it's a great feeling knowing that you're helping kids that don't understand...and helping the smart kids...well, teach me a thing or two.

Final Four Championship

i guess congrats are in order for the university of kansas for beating memphis. so, congrats jayhawks - at least someone in the big 12 conference won!

now, one thing i don't understand (and never really did) is why the final two doesn't have its own little catchy name. i mean, they have the sweet sixteen, the elite eight, the final four....nothing for two? i mean...four teams aren't playing in the championship game...two are. what about the....i guess coming up with a "t" word to go with two isn't as easy as it looks.

waking up to mud...

...as in the a puppy COVERED in mud. james planted a stake in the ground so pancakes could roam (somewhat) around by himself. BIG mistake! he started digging a hole in the ground under the fence to make his big jailbreak (which wouldn't be his first) and was completely covered from snout to toes in mud.

so, my morning shower was cut WAY short as i had to also shower with a mud covered puppy - not fun! the rest of the morning, he just looked at me like "you stuck me in the shower and now i'm FREEZING" not my fault, mr. pancakes - next time....oh god, i hope there's not a next time
