there was an entry in the "big book of etiquette"..

about what to do when someone chases your dog for 2 hours in Beverly hills, then Tim and I would have done something for these lovely ladies already.

I mean really. What do you do. These two women went chasing after Lilo on Saturday across Beverly Glen near Santa Monica Blvd. to try to catch her so she wouldn't get hurt. Finally our crazy dog gave up and they were able to call the number on her license. 2 hours?!?! I give Lilo 10 minutes before I give up (then again I know she will come home). The ladies also said they didn't want to call animal control for fear they would be mean to her, or not be able to find us. So what I ask should we do for them? I really don't know, certainty not cash, Mel said she could groom them at the animal hospital, but we don't want to put her out. Grrrr, this is so difficult and now it's Wednesday and we've done nothing for these people! I think it makes it harder that we don't live near by, but still that's no excuse.

Help!

our dog hadn't been an Olympic high jumper in a previous life,

she wouldn't be roaming the streets of Beverly Hills right now.

every child had the wit of my nephew,

the world would be a more entertaining place.

This Friday Tim and I "stole" our nephew for an over night for a birthday treat (I should say very belated because his birthday was back in April--yeah, that's how we roll). We got him right before lunch time so we asked the kids where they would like to eat. To Tim's utter disgust they only wanted fast food (I mean they are kids, and ours just wants the toy). After lunch we drove towards home on the 126, picked up Fireworks, and headed out to have the boys go indoor go kart racing. After that it was off to Target to pick up the belated birthday present-then to Toys R Us because Target didn't have anything good. Then we got home relaxed a little, picked up pizza and went to watch the 3rd of July Fireworks (yes Moorpark is odd). We get home and Tim decides top set off almost all of the fireworks that we had bought for the next day--the boys had a blast with this of course. Then it was inside for the Wii and a slumber party down stairs.

This was a rundown of the crazy fun time. Now, for the entertaining bits that Tim and I thought were superb. As we were driving down the 126 discussion of speed limits and such began. Tim commented that there was no speed limit in Montana and of course our nephew wanted to know why. Tim's response was that it was probably because there weren't a lot of people who lived there, and not a lot of high traffic roads. Our nephew comments about the population saying "well that's probably why", meaning that people are getting in a lot of car accidents (sorry if that was obvious but I am worried about this coming across in my typing).

As we were entering Target I said to him "You want a bikini don't you", because all of the women's bathing suits were the first thing you saw. He got all embarrased like a normal 11 year old, looked at me like I was crazy and said no. He proceded to tell me with halarious voice inflection "I want a blouse". Oh it was great, I started laughing so hard. He is so much older on the inside. I know there were more but I can't remember at the moment. If they come to me I will definately post it here!

Happy Belated 4th (like I said, that's how we roll)
