Salad Bar

It has been so nice to not think about work for the past three days. First thought this morning, though?
 
“Going to be hard getting up at 5 tomorrow”
 
Still, one more day to not be at work. Sure, it’s laundry and bathroom cleaning and dusting and grocery shopping day, but better than Monday day!
 
Do you do the whole crazy shopping thing this weekend? We do not. They interviewed a girl who recently moved here from one of the Dakotas. She was sooo happy to be standing in line at Target 8 hours before it opened without it snowing at the same time.
 
What is wrong with people?
 
Now, I know it’s not very bed-wetting liberal of me, so don’t tell the Bay Area, but I keep a list of people that I think should be sterilized immediately. People waiting in line at Target are on that list. Also folks who vandalize, everyone who has paid money for anything remotely Justin Bieber related, people who still wear acid-washed jeans and everyone on that bigfoot show. There you have it.
 
So, while folks were staking out spots in line or home eating bird, we were out enjoying the phenomenal weather we have had this long weekend. Being off-leash is not unusual for my dogs. They are always off-leash. I do wish there was a little more excitement, though.
 
We were up at Oyster Bay on Thanksgiving. We get to the area where the leashes can come off and…

Just grazing away. Does this mean they are aging?

Occasionally picking a head up to check if the grass the other one was eating was actually greener

Sometimes it wasn’t even grass

And, apparently we had the usual holiday family argument. Isn’t that what people do? When I asked them to get on the bench for a pic this is what I got…

Not speaking?
 
Turns out the little yellow thing in this pic is just a falling leaf.
However, it looks like Kate is posing with a bee.

She made a little friend.

  2. I loved your list - the bigfoot people LOL so true. I did do some shopping but it was all for fun, no stress and it was in the afternoon, once all the crazy early morning people ere already tired and had gone home.

    Just wanted to say I have been reading your blog for about a year and thoroughly enjoy your posts. Dogs always make me smile and your humor always makes me laugh -especially the posts about the crazy folks at the agility competitions!

  5. Oyster Bay hasn't been the same since they plowed everything up(including the rabbits). Gotta love the room, though. And watching planes take off.
