I'm Still Here!

So Bryan told me I need to keep my blog more updated so I thought I'd just throw something out there so people know I'm still alive. Not too much going on at the moment. I'm still keeping up more or less on my 365 Days project so that's good. I successfully finished the month of January so I thought I'd post a few of my favorites.

Sheila had her super cute little baby girl a couple Sundays ago, Lara Statter, on January 25th. I think she looks a lot like Lachlan did when he was born so we know she's gonna be super cute.

Other than that not much else has been going on but I will try and be better about keeping my blog more updated. I mean really, what else have I got to do?

Again...

I am participating in 365 Days on Flickr. I failed out last time but for Christmas Bryan got me a new fancy camera so my desire to try again is ignited, wish me luck! I'm five days in and so far so good. The new camera is a lot of fun so I hope that keeps me going.

I have also signed up with Courtney & Heather to do the Salt Lake City 5K in April. All there is to do now is get in shape...it's gonna be hell. It'll be good for me though I've gotten way to fat and lazy as of late. I hope to go on my running adventures with Tibor because I know he'll love it but it may be detrimental to my health. I hope he plays nice. That dog can pull your arm out of your socket if he really wants to.

I'll think about bringing Buffy too when her poor little paw heals because I don't want to risk making it worse. She wouldn't be able to keep up right now anyways. Her run is a Tibor walk so it'll end up being quite a work out for her. I'll get her going when she gets a bit older. Again, wish me luck! I'll need it for both of my endeavors!

I'm famous!

Well...almost famous but really not even close. My pictures did get chosen for the Miami Schmap Guide, woohoo! Go check it out! This one too!

Meet Buffy Hadzik.

Yep, we did it. We got puppy number two! We got her from the Humane Society yesterday and she is a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and we're all already totally in love with her. The Human Society wasn't certain about her mix but there's no doubt she's got Rottweiler in her, the German Shepherd part was the guess due to her coloring. They also guessed her age to be about two months old, which is crazy because she's half the size Tibor was at two months old so I think Tibor may have been older than they thought he was.

Tibor's not quite sure what to think about her yet but I think as soon as she's big enough to play then he will love her as much as Bryan and I do. I hope they will be the best of friends!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Love you lots Mom! Happy Birthday! You're 35, right? ;)

I got an e-mail today informing me that a couple of my photos have been put into consideration for being included in the sixth edition of the Schmap Miami Guide. Neat! I gave them the ok to use the pics if my photos are chosen. Lets hope they get picked because that would be kinda cool. Perhaps I have a new career in line? Don’t worry I won’t quit my day job.

This makes me excited for my upcoming trip to the Sea World and I don't care what anyone else says, I'm way excited! I've gotten so many people telling me not to bother or that Sea World is lame, which is lame! I love Sea World! Sure I haven't been there since I was probably around 12 but I have so many fond memories and I can't wait to go. Besides Bryan's never been and that's just not right.

Back to my maybe soon to be somewhat famous pictures...they were pictures I took when Bryan and I went to the Miami Seaquarium, which was pretty much a poor man's Sea World but fun non the less. Here they are for your enjoyment.

Tibor's New Trick & 3 Years!

Tibor has a fun new trick he recently likes to do in the mornings. We've been letting Tibor be crate free at night for a week or two now (because he's freaking spoiled!) and for the first week or so it went super. He was a good pup that just liked sleeping on a pile of clothes on the floor or if that was not available then a pair of Bryan's underpants that are undoubtedly always somewhere to be found on the bedroom floor. Anyways Tibor's been great, not chewing on anything or having any accidents, but on Tuesday morning when my alarm went off at 6am, I did my usual pressing of the snooze and dozed off again when a few minutes later I got a second little wake-up call by a lick in the face. I groaned and pushed the dog aside and turned around so my face wasn't towards the edge of the bed but instead of a few more minutes sleep that I so desired Tibor jumped up on me and started licking my face again. I figured he just really had to pee and I was supposed to be up anyways so I got up and let the dog out and thought nothing else of it. Come Wednesday morning...my alarm goes off at 6am, I press snooze, and lo and behold a few minutes later I get another lick in the face. Instead of pushing the dog aside and groaning I chose to look at him to see what was going on and why he felt I shouldn't sneak in a few more minutes of snooze time. I look up to see Tibor standing there bright eyed and bushy tailed looking right at me expecting me to get my lazy butt out of bed and I figure he's just really got to pee again. Then this morning like clock work I hit snooze when my alarm attempted to wake me at 6am and a few minutes later I get a lick right on the lips and there's Tibor looking at me hopefully, ugh. Apparently Tibor thinks he is now alarm clock number two. We'll have to see if he does it tomorrow and the big test will come Saturday. Hopefully, he won't wake me up at 6am if my alarm doesn't go off because if he does, he's so going back into the crate!

On a more romantic note today is the three year anniversary of when Bryan and I meet for the very first time. For those of you who do not know, Bryan and I met on Match.com or as we like to say 'we met on the Internets...' and first met in person on this day three years ago at the Mayan, ooh yeah! Now that is romantic! :) The Mayan also happens to be the place where Bryan proposed to me on my birthday in 2006 (God I hope that's the right year, I'm horrible with dates!) because he's sweet like that. Here's hoping I get a date night at the Mayan tonight... :p

Also, I started a Facebook page because I was bored and I had a lot of other better things I could have been doing but didn't want to do them...check it out!

Also, the picture is from when we went to Strut Your Mutt and 'Yes!' Bryan and I are both wearing our WoW shirts, which makes us totally super way cool! :)

dogster, etc.

Don't worry, I started Tibor a profile on dogster. :) Enjoy!

So this weekend Bryan, Tibor and I went up to my parent's cabin and spent the night Friday night. This was the first night we didn't put Tibor in his crate to sleep and he did very well, except for how he decided to wake me up in the morning. I was innocently sleeping away and about 6:30am Tibor decides it's time to get up so he comes over to me and parks his butt right on my face! Needless to say that did the trick. Other than that Tibor was very well behaved and had a good 'ol time for his first time up at the cabin.

As for more weekend hilarity...after puppy school on Saturday (which Tibor graduated from, yay!) we drove home to three guys mowing our front lawn. Apparently we're the losers of the neighborhood and our neighbors decided to mow our lawn for us since we're bums, nice...

Ahh, Poop.

For those of you who may or may not know, Tibor went through a phase of eating his own poop. This was so not cool in my book and as far as I know, or rather hoping, he is no longer eating his poop. Why bring this up then? Because I often discuss with Courtney my canine troubles and she turned me onto a blog entry written by Dooce that made me laugh my ass off! Seriously Courtney, you gotta warn a girl when you send her e-mails she may read at work. It was so hard trying not to laugh out loud. I thought I was going to explode. The comments people made were so funny. I actually had to stop reading a few times and calm down. I've decided that poop is pretty much one of the funniest words ever because I'm apparently twelve years old. This entry actually made me not feel so bad that Tibor was a closet poop eater. Apparently this is a very normal dog thing to do. It's still not ok of course and I've now resorted to spraying Tibor in the mouth with bitter apple spray whenever I catch him eating poo then spraying the poo with bitter apple because the stuff we got to put on Tibor's food was not curbing the poop eating; I actually think it encouraged his eating of poo. It's been over a week now since I've caught the pup eating poop so I chose to believe it has stopped, of course, I have been letting him be outside unsupervised more often so that could be why too. In any case, let the dog lick you at your own risk...

Now moving on to non-poop matters...

This photo is officially the most viewed photo on my Flickr account. I don't get it. It's my toes! People are weird about feet. I actually think this is one of my worst 365 Days pictures, maybe people are looking at it in disgust but I've gotten very positive comments on it. Again, I just don't get it. The pictures I think aren't very good people seem to love and the ones I love people seem to think are crap. It's quite fascinating actually. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback on this photo as well:

Again, I don't get it. I did this one real quick because I was tired and didn't want to try and be creative but it's gotten a lot of views and people seem to like it. I just think it's weird.

I've also joined a new group in Flickr called Hit, Miss or Maybe in which you post a photo and three people rate it on whether or not they like it. At first, I thought it would be kind of cool but now I'm having second thoughts. I just can't feel bad if someone doesn't like my picture and I'm afraid someone is going to say I hate your pictures because you're ugly and then I'll have to go crawl into a corner, get into a fetal position, and rock back and forth sobbing and that may look a little weird at work. I'm going to give it a try though and see what happens. Here's the first photo I put up:

It's already gotten one Maybe and one Miss so I guess I don't have to cry yet. See, I love this picture but people don't seem to like it as much. I guess it is kind of funky. I was playing around with a photo editor on this one maybe people just don't like that as much. Who knows? Would it be better had I have put some feet in there?

One Month Work-iversary!

Tibor vs. Hose

I've officially been working for one month today! Go me!
Also, I just love this picture of the Tibor. We introduced him to the hose for the first time yesterday and it was pretty hilarious. We also went and bought him a kiddie-pool; I can't wait for pool-time fun!

365 Days

I've joined the 365 Days group on Flickr. This is where you take a self portrait of yourself, :p , for a year. My first self portrait isn't very creative but hey, I've got a year to get creative, right?

Tibor Toss

Bryan likes to pick up Tibor and toss him on the Love Sac. I managed to get a picture of Tibor in mid-air. It made me laugh so hard!
I've also added tons of pictures to Flickr so go and check them out!

Tibor

Bryan and I got Tibor(Tee-bore) on March 27, 2008 from the Humane Society. He is a Black Lab/Rottweiler mix and is so cute! We fell in love with him right away. When we got him they guessed he was probably about two months old. So if that’s true he’s gonna be one huge puppy! It was fun taking him home; right before we were going to take him out of the cage and take him home he took a big poo in his cage. So the lady who took him out of the cage for us got poo on her pants and of course he was all scared and would not walk so I had to pick him up and carry him to the car, thus getting poo all over my coat, good times… It was worth it though he’s a great pup. :p
He does many cute puppy things such as chew on his toys at the top of the stairs so they fall down the stairs and he has to go run down and bring them back up. He likes to lie under the coffee table and on top of Bryan's underpants. The Love Sac is now one big puppy bed and he chews on everything!
This Saturday we start puppy school at the PetCo. I’m so excited!

If you get bored check our Tibor's, The Daily Puppy website page: http://www.dailypuppy.com/member/2c0b1d0224 . I'll try to keep the pictures as updated as I can. :)

I also broke down and paid for a full Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45861567@N00/ . I will also try to keep those as updated as possible. :)

Courtney's rubbing off on me!
