Sunshine On My Shoulder Makes Me Happy

After approximately thirty days of this... (yes, mom WAS getting ready to build an ark)

we got this!

The most beautiful blue sky, sunny, almost totally cloudless day possible. And warm too. Boy, did we enjoy it!

Enjoying The Sunshine

If it is sunny when mom takes us out to do our business, Lucky just plops herself down on the cement and doesn't move.

She has really missed the sun.

We got more sun than not, yesterday. Here's hoping for even more today. And yes, Monty, I will trade you any rain for your sun. I think everyone in New England is SICK and TIRED of rain!

Happy Independence Day




The sun came out yesterday. I almost didn't recognize it.

Bonding Friday

Mom & PlusOne are bonding. They are bonding over Age Of Mythology. It is a fun computer game that has you"Taking on the role of one of nine ancient civilizations. Players guide their people to greatness by commanding all aspects of their empire: gathering resources, raising massive armies, waging war against enemies, establishing profitable trade routes, building new settlements, enhancing production or military might with improvements, exploring new frontiers, and advancing through four distinct ages."

Now, mom would prefer not having pirates attack every five minutes, but it is sort of fun. Of course, she broke down and got the purple flying hippo and the lazer bears because, as I said, she was tired of the pirates attacking every five minutes.

The only problem, is that PlusOne's computer is Windows 2000 and mom's is XP and the game is having problems on PlusOne's computer.(Something to do with DirectX.) So they have to play it on mom's. And that is where PlusOne is right now. Along with all of mom's photos. She is on his computer, so I can't post any cute photos of me. Sigh. Sharing is hard.

Thursday Things

PlusOne is going to camp MemerePepere this summer. Most summer camps don't accept anyone over 12 unless they are going to be a counselor in training. PlusOne did not want to be a counselor in training so Memere said he could spend the summer with her.

PlusOne thought that was an awesome idea. He could go to art class with Memere, and play golf and do yard work with Pepere. Every morning after mom drops him off, Memere, PlusOne and Missy go for a nice long walk. And I do mean long.

Yesterday, Lucky and I went to Memere's as well. We went on a nice long walk (in the RAIN) and I even behaved. One lady came running out of her house as we walked by and paid no attention to Missy (which totally bummed Missy out) and lavished her attention on Lucky and me. She said aren't we beautiful, and handsome and cute and... you get the idea.

I guess Lucky and I will go to Camp MemerePepere every Wednesday. On Tuesday and Thursday, PlusOne will be going to Memere's art classes. On Mondays, Memere is going to teach PlusOne and mom's cousin's daughter (we'll call her the pretty girl) how to mix paint. On Friday's mom is only going to work half a day, so PlusOne can sleep late, Memere will have a break and mom can have some fun with PlusOne, Lucky and me.

I think this sounds like a great summer, don't you?

Grumpy Mom

Mom is grumpy. After a week of rain and NO leaks, we had a huge thunderstorm last night and the roof leaked. She doesn't know where it is coming in and she is very frustrated. I guess she will have to play roof adventure AGAIN!

Also, during her run Saturday morning she got overheated and dizzy and had to sit down about twelve minutes into it. She was very embarrassed, as she has run 20 solid minutes before and she wanted to set a good example as team leader. She also pulled some calf muscles, so she is limping and in pain.

Of course, her instructor told her that she was running faster than he had ever seen her run before (a treadmill can pace you a lot better than a wide open space in front of you). He also said "You THINK?" when she told him she thought she got overheated. Well, duh! It was hot and humid and mom does not do well in hot and humid.

Luckily their is no class this Saturday (in celebration for July 4th) but mom is determined NOT to have any problems at the next class. There is no rest for the wicked. Or my mom.
