Hell Yeah... It's the weekend!!!

Not that i have anything exciting planned this weekend. But just not getting out of bed and having to go through the morning routine for a few days is great, don't you all agree?? And if you don't do the traditional job, then shut, up, sit down and stop bragging..

So, this weekend. well it is getting to be a whopping 55 degrees on Saturday, and sunday... so maybe a little disc golf. It is going to be a lot less windy this weekend so maybe my partners can hang on to their discs..

My first softball game is in a few weeks so i guess i should go toss the ball around since i am pitching. So that might be on order.. and i am going to work on my blanket that you all still haven't seen... so, i am sure you don't care that much.

My dog you ask??? thanks for thinking about him.. well we went to the vet. he is good. heart and lungs sound good.. and we think he has an eye infection, so we get drops twice a day and i think it is already starting to feel better.. at least looked better last night.

But the good news is that my vet wants to enter my dog in an arthritis study. He has bad hips (mixing German Shepard and Rottweiller gives you a great dog, but BAD, BAD hips..-just mental note) so they took some blood (and shaved a little spot on his chest) and we will know today if he qualifies.. So, he will get arthritis meds, there are no placebos, they want to get a liquid form of an already used drug on the market) and then he gets a bunch of free vet visits and tests... Then at the end he gets a $250 credit at the vet.. we will see. I really would love for him to get some help. Good boy watson!!!

well It's not 2pm yet, so i don't know what snack is, you'll have to wait. In the mean time, here are some things you can talk about at those wild parties everyone but me goes to all weekend.
~ today is peace corps day, celebrated it's founding in 1961.
~ today is Baseball hat appreciation day.. (i got a few...)
~ today is 'get grandma to write down her meatloaf recipe day. i say do it!!! i wish i still could..
~ today the world's largest rattlesnake round-up begins today in Sweetwater Texas. But hurry, it seems the Miss. Snakecharmer pageant entries deadline is today.

In My lifetime, these things happened on this day.. I am ringing my dog right now..and I don't expect the movie we see tonight to start the same way as the chick did last year.

1973: A new group, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, performed at Max’s Kansas City club in New York City. Columbia talent scout John Hammond was in the audience.

1992: History’s largest crepe was baked and flipped in Bloemfontein, South Africa. It was 41 feet 2 inches in diameter, an inch and-a-half deep, and weighed 5,908 pounds.

2007: A British movie theater allowed a man to propose to his girlfriend with a three-minute home film inserted among the trailers before the main feature. Tina Kilford of Weymouth, England, was sitting there with two friends and a tub of ice cream, watching the trailers, when she suddenly saw Tom Lane on the screen, holding a card saying, "Hi Tina!" As a finale, Lane appeared, kneeling by Kilford's seat with a ring. The audience cheered when she yelled "Yes!"

And one last note to remember:
