I had to do SOMETHING!

It was Marc's 26th b-day yesterday. He swore me to secrecy at work. I had to bite my tongue ALL day! Anywho, MB just got back from a tournament at Huntington beach, so we decided to take him to the classiest place around, Hooters! A bunch of us got there fairly late, and only started eating at 930pm.
How can I honestly not do something to celebrate his birthday?!?! No fair! So at the end our meal, I asked our waitress if they could sing him a little song. Apparently they don't do anything tame like that. She gave me two choices. Marc could either do the Hoolah Hoop while they sang, or do the chicken. I said ok I choose both! LOL. Anyway, she started calling his name to go over, he froze and gave me the snake eyes. When he didn't budge, she rang a HUGE cowbell! We were all dying. Poor Marc. He did the hoolah hoop thing but refused to do the chicken. He was laughing but angry all at once. It was awesome. No pics cos there are no cameras allowed. Andrea did sneak a video on her phone though;)
We got home pretty late, and sang him happy b-day but we all couldn't bring ourselves to eat the yummy Coldstone cake. We'll be eating that tonight. Take care!

Happy St-Patrick's Day!

Matt and I headed down to Washignton DC to have some drinks at McFaddens. It was my first time going out since I've been here. It was a very big place. My first drink of the evening was a Carbomb. Its a glass of Guiness (half full) with Jameson and Bailey's. The Bailey's and Jameson comes in a seperate, large shot glass. You put the shot glass in the beer, and then down it. I couldn't drink it. They said I had to drink it fast or it would curdle. Well, I really couldn't finish it after that. I felt it after one drink. Many drinks followed.

Everyone was super friendly there. People just came up and started talking to each other. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the alcohol. lol I met many characters! There is also a Medical University there, so there were lots of med students. When are you coming Melissa?

Lots of cute docs here!

Matt's belly button

Mark was his name and Judo was his game. He was funny. He went on and on about Judo and showed me some moves. He wouldn't stop talking!!!

I told him that Matt was a Black belt Judo guy, and made my escape.

Sorry Matt

The next morning. I'm feeling well after my long sleep.

We also went to Olive Garden and had a great lunch! I love it there. It really felt like a family restaurant. They serve your salad in a big bowl for everyone to pass around. It made it feel like you were eating at home. I was stuffed before I got my meal! It was so yummy!

Ba y'all!

Fire Trucks Part Deux

So here's the pics that I promised. This is one of the mildy painted trucks. The firefighters here, usually get pretty creative with their designs.
FBI surveillance truck.
More firetrucks. All these pics were taken from my truck. I don't know why but I'm scared to go over and take pics! Marc thinks I'm crazy. He's usually right.

I can't emphasize how much of a presence the firefighters have here. There are constant drills going on, and it seems like every guy is a firefighter. Good news for single girls!

Baby Veg

Vegas' Big Day

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY VEGAS!!!

Can you believe it? It feels like yesterday that we were looking at litter pics of him! Man I can't believe we've made it this far. Actually, I can't believe that I've made it this far! lol

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for overnighting presents to Vegas! He opened them up after his morning walk...

He loved his snoopy...that one will last about 30 mins...lol

Vego and Pops...

Vegas was on top of Marc getting his toy...this is him jumping off while using his gutt as leverage...lol...ouch!

I hid presents and cookies all over the place today...He had lots to keep him busy...

Well I must say that we all had a great day together. Vegas had lots of new toys and treats. He had a little tummy ache after so many treats and threw up. No one has let me forget what a bad mom I am all day long.

Here are some of Vegas likes and dislikes....In no particular order (exept the first one)

Likes:

Mommy

Head rubs

Forest Walks

Taking baths with Mommy

Playing Hide N' Go Seek

Sleeping under the blankets

His blanket

Dislikes:

Daddy

Zuberts

When mommy leaves

Not being the center of attention ALL THE TIME

Things that I love about him:

How attentive he is

How smart he is

His curly cues on his bum

His voice

Our good morning snugs

When I ask him to do something a bit challenging, and it takes him 10 minutes with all the stairs in the house...Sometimes I forget about what I asked...then he comes back...I cried the first time he did that...

Things that are annoying but cute at the same time...

When he climbs up on the side of the bathtub to bark at me to let him in the water too...

then seems sad when he gets in...

When he wakes me up in the middle of the night to let him under the covers,

at least 3 times a night...

When he drinks out of my cup

When he insists on bringing his favorite blanket everywhere...its a queen size blanket

When he gives me a dirty look and lets out a sigh, when I'm making too much noise for him...

Man I have to stop. This list could go on forever! Needless to say, I think that Vegas has done a great job learning how to live in a human world! Hats off to a great pup!

Love you baby Veg!

Chillin'

Vegas and Matt playing last night...
MB tried on my new Spiderman t-shirt...He looks like he belongs in the village...

Dave-ism

About liars...

Don't piss in ma ear, en tell me its rainin'!

Don't Laugh!

This is our town's number one fire truck.

JK. Gainesville has some seriously high tech stuff. Right around the corner from the office, is an unmarked fire station, equipped with FBI trucks that look like fire trucks but they are black. US puts a lot of money into their equipment. I will post the pics when I see them outside again.

I keep forgetting how close we are to Washington DC!

Play Time!

Vegas and Diesel had a blast today! Vegas has seriously met his match. He didn't put up with any of Vegas' little tricks, and had no qualms about dominating him! I had to walk them seperately today, or else they would never stop playing long enough to pee!

They're going to sleep well tonight!

White Trash Pics

This post is dedicated to my Dad, Homer (jk)...

I know how much you love Vego and Marc's truck, so here's a couple of pics of them...

The babe next to Aaron's white monster...

Vegas wasn't too impressed with being up here as you can see.

Vegas next to Marc's black beast...

See you soon!
