Puppies and Fall Break!!!!

We finally got an update on the puppies this week and they are all doing well and getting BIG! We are t-minus 2 weeks until we get to pick up Maybel! It actually moved up a day and we will now get her on Oct. 26th. We can't wait! Here are the pics that the breeder sent us. These are all six females from the litter. One of them is Maybel, we just don't know which one yet.

And...Fall Break is finally here, hence why I am making a post at 8:30 in the morning - it is wonderful! I have today, Monday, and Tuesday off from work and I am so excited! I'm looking forward to just being able to sleep in and actually get things done besides work things, like cleaning our apartment. My parents are also coming up for the weekend which will be nice too. I hope to get a lot of things done around the apartment so that we can post pics soon so that everyone can see what we've done to make it look more like a home. I'll let you know soon :)

One Small Step For Man....

Yesterday, a great thing happened to me. I will share it with you now.
Andrew Stacy, my dear friend and college house-mate, will be on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and he wants to be a millionaire. So, he has asked me to be one of his 5 lifelines. What an honor, right? Its either my golf knowledge, or my Google knowledge. I'm thinking I'll have Google and Wikipedia pulled up, should I get the call. I may be having some training in the next few days.

People, call me and ask me random questions, then hang up after 30 seconds. I won't take it personally.

But Andrew, PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE THIS GUY!!!



Movie quote: (for Conor)
How am I going to put this to you? Uh... look at it this way. No wolf, mmm, no wolf, ahh, no part. What do you think?

For everyone else:
That's one small step for man! One giant... I have a dream!

Big Weekend

Hey every one, how was your weekend? Good to hear. Ours was pretty good too. Here are a few bullet points:
- Our living room furniture is finally in
- My parents moved into their new house
- We got some patio furniture
- We have some curtains in our bedroom
- We're having a baby....just kidding (Kids are down the road a bit in our plans, but if God decides to give us one early, so be it)

We're a month away from having Maybel, so its time to start looking for dog stuff. Its still really exciting.

Funny thing at work today, one of my reps started this bet that he could eat 10 Quarter pound Double Stacks from Wendy's. So he went and almost made it thru all 10. He had to stop at 8.25. This got me to thinking about how much I have eaten in one sitting. Nothing "concrete" comes to mine (i.e. 26 pancakes) but this last man's weekend I ate so much monkey bread I expunged. Anyone have any gluttonous food stories? Leave them in the comments page.


UPDATE: Looking up the nutritional info for Wendy's (that's an oxymoron) it looks like he had around 3,000 calories, and close to 150 grams of fat for lunch.

"MMMmmmm, that is a tasty burger!"

WHY?

I have never liked the following:


Why do companies need to tell us this?!?! Are we really that foolish?

A lot if times I think, "Hmmm, Extra has changed their packaging. I bet they have changed the flavor of their gum too. It probably tastes like Indian food. I better go with the Orbit this week."

This is almost as bad as hearing radio stations tell us that we can listen "At work, at home, or in the car". Where else do I listen to the radio? Where else would I possibly be that a radio would make my day more enjoyable?

Sorry, I am all worked up today. I don't know why.

House Cleaning

With the arrival of a new puppy, we are questioning all that we hold dear. Not really, it's not that serious. Katie did confess that she wants to take a sick day the first day that we have the dog though. I thought it seemed pretty crazy, but thats how its gonna be.

So, on to the subject, we are trying to sell our existing couch and coffee table. If you know of anyone who needs a couch and/or coffee table, send them our way. I'll post a few pic's later today.

Also, I've added "Latest Movie" and "Currently Reading" so you can see what we're up to. FYI, Katie is the one reading "The Choice". And just because I am reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Labs" doesn't necessarily make me a complete idiot. I've never liked books like these, because you're paying to be considered an idiot.

Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory.
