Quote of the Day July 10

You never get tired unless you stop and take time for it.

- Bob Hope

I've been pounding away here on the keyboard and researching stuff for work, and decided, I need a break from all of that "stuff." So with that, I thought I would post some useless bit of information here. Haven't quite determined what that might be yet, but as I type here, I am sure I can think of something that you'll be thankful for taking the extra minutes of your time to read. (hmmm...hopefully nobody notices that HUGE run-on sentence there)

I will tell you that currently both of my dogs are sitting in my lap, which a HUGE feat, considering, well...maybe not...the size of my lap. But, to further clarify, both dogs are under 15 lbs, so they're not huge.

So as I sit here rambling I have a ba-jillion things going through my mind and not sure where to start....so thinking maybe I just won't (start) :)

So see? I have wasted your time and I believe the only quasi interesting thing about this post was the fact that both of my dogs are in my lap, which incidentally, Dude aka Deet da dee has decided to stand up in my lap, with his front feet on my desk and watch me type...which at the moment he seems to think is pretty darn fascinating. I'm watching his head tilt as I clack away at the keys. Underneath him is Roxy as she attempts to maneuver herself in my lap to a better position, so that when Dude wants down, there will be absolutely no space for him, therefore being banned to the floor. She's such a smart girl. Dude aka Deet da dee, just isn't all there. But he sure is a sweet loyal dog. So with that, Dude has just jumped up off of my lap and Roxy has taken over full lap comfort.

Yup, I believe I have sufficiently wasted your time and mine, for that matter. Now I'm gonna post a picture of the pooches so you can visualize the faces much better.



Thanks for reading and I promise, just maybe a better posting next time!

Happy Video for July 8, 2009

This video was made in the Antwerp , Belgium Central (Train) Station on the 23rd of March 2009. With no warning to the passengers passing through the station, at 08:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing 'Do, Re, Mi' begins to play on the public address system.”

As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.

They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

Enjoy!

Just click the pause button on my playlist located at the bottom right hand side of my blog so that you can enjoy the sounds of the video.

Michael Jackson

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

- Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror

Before all the silli-ness and weirdness, MJ was a great entertainer and his music was something I would crank up in my car and sing-along too. I still will listen to his music, for years to come. (I'm not ashamed to admit it!) ;) He did make a difference in the music world.

4th of July in the Desert

We spent the 4th of July in Ocotillo Wells. Ocotillo Wells is an unincorporated community in San Diego County, California that lies along State Route 78, three miles west of the Imperial County line. During the summer time, temperatures can hit the triple digits regularly. On the 4th of July, we were easily at 104.

As you can see from the slide show pictures below, there was a parade and the Ocotillo Wells Fire Department was gracious enough to "hose" us down after the parade. The water felt great!
