Freedom is Fleeting
School starts tomorrow (for teachers). I want it to be Summer. I am bitter. Please send me positive vibes!
Rock Stars
My dogs are rock stars. That being said…they are also poop stars.
Steve and I are at our wits end with the dogs lack of house-breakage. I don’t know what has caused the decision to start just going all over the house…but I do know it is making us crazy. They go out MANY times during the day. No matter how many times or how often…it is if they save a little just to go inside!
I love my dogs…but not their shit!
Please help us.
Woo is me
I like presents 
LONDON (Reuters)Wed Jul 27, 2005
Forget expensive presents or costly jewelry. Wining and dining is the best way for men to woo women, scientists said Tuesday.Researchers at Imperial College London developed a mathematical formula and modeled courtship as a sequential game to find the best way to impress the ladies.
Their results show that offering an expensive present signals the man’s serious intentions but he must be wary of being exploited by gold-diggers who will dump him after receiving the gift.
“Guys are less likely to offer expensive gifts to females they don’t have a long-term interest in. And girls won’t be impressed with cheap gifts. By offering expensive but worthless gifts, such as dinner and theater trips, the male pays no cost if the invitation isn’t accepted,” said Dr Peter Sozou, of University College London (UCL).
If women are not interested they are unlikely to accept the invitation, according to the research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B.
The researchers said giving gifts was a feature of courtship in humans and other species to impress females. Physical attraction is an important element but offering gifts also helps.
“Our analysis shows there is evolutionary logic in men ‘burning money’ to impress the girl,” said Professor Robert Seymour of UCL’s department of mathematics.

There are so many things to discover when randomly searching aardvark links via google search.

“Unique” is an overused word, but not in the case of the aardvark.
South of Hell
It is hot.
The temp. is 91 and the humidity is at 55% so it feels like 97.
My air conditioner is not functioning properly so it is about 75 here. I am lounging about in a tank top and underpants because it is to fucking hot to put on pants. (plus I am here by myself so no one else is suffering from my exhibitionism)
I hate to be hot. I hear people say things like … “I grew up in the south so I am used to the heat” and other equally asinine things. I grew up here…and I will never get used to the heat.
Attention Parents
When there is only one cashier at the pet store and there are 8 people in line behind you, your mom and your 3 children…this is not the time to let each child pay separately (especially for one dog treat apiece) and sign up for their own individual petpal cards (or whatever the fuck they are called).
I realize the importance of instilling consumerism into children at a young age…and I remember the thrill of spending my “own” money as a child but it is nearly one fucking hundred degrees outside and I don’t have the patience for your bullshit! Time to be the parent and explain that the store is busy and it would be easier to do all of the bullshit later!

PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) Mon Jul 25, 2005 9:04 AM ET
An Italian couple stole 50,000 euros from a woman in the Sicilian city of Palermo after convincing her they were vampires who would impregnate her with the son of the Anti-Christ if she did not pay them.The man, a cabaret singer, and his girlfriend took the money from their victim over four years by selling her pills at 3,000 euros each that they said would abort the Anti-Christ’s son.
Police uncovered the fraud after the 47-year-old woman’s family became concerned when they discovered she had spent all her savings, local news agencies AGI and ANSA reported.
Peanuts
Friday night I spent the night inside a museum. My niece Kendall and her brownie troop had planned a trip to The Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga. Kendall called and asked if I would go with her…so I did. It was awesome. If you have a kid or know a kid (or not) you need to grab them and check it out! We had such a great time. Our group had the entire museum to ourselves afterhours. We did an experiment workshop and then actually slept anywhere on the first floor that we wanted. You could sleep right in the center of everything. Very cool.
Right now they have a big interactive Peanuts exhibit. It was my favorite. Here are a couple of pics from the trip.
Deductions
For now I am going to solicit free tax advice. Can I write off a haircut? There is actually a section in our training that says…
Have you received a compliment on your hairstyle recently? If not maybe you should consider a new style.
So (based on that) I think I should be able to write a haircut off. What about clothes I buy specifically for MK?
What else can I write off?
Her Majesty
I am pretending to be organized. I have a shiny new book case to hold all of the Mary Kay Madness and I have been sorting and placing for the last few hours. Steve went to bed after he got the thing put together and secured to the wall. Tuesday night at the weekly MK meeting I was Queen. I had the most sales the previous week! There were no tiaras involved…but I am working on that.
I need a haircut and a black dress.
