Silly Saturday

Moment of Truth... for the pugs

What do you know, I've been laughing about Fox's ridiculous new show "Moment of Truth" for weeks, and now that I'm actually watching it, I'm quite entertained.

Phil started in with ideas of questions for our pug Ruby. Don't lie, Ruby.... we all know that these questions should all be answered in the affirmative, anyway!

1. Have you ever stuck your tongue up the chute of your feeder to get more than your pre-portioned meal allowed?
2. Have you ever bitten your sister so hard you made her bleed?
3. Have you ever pooped in the dining room when it was just too cold to go outside?
4. Have you ever humped your own sister?
5. Have you ever accidentally expressed your anal glands on Daddy's pillow?

In other pug news, I took the babies to the vet a few days ago for their rabies shots and annual check-ups. I was really nervous for Dora because recently I noticed a tiny bald spot on her, where the skin underneath was a different color (white) than the rest of her skin (tan). I was so worried that it might be a cancerous spot or something terrible. When I told the vet about it and asked if he knew what it might be, he just laughed at me. "I can tell you exactly what it is," he said. "It's just a scar." Ruby strikes again. Those two can really get in some bad fights!

Anyway, sorry for the lack of blogging lately, if anyone has been checking. Our camera is beyond fixing. Not that I would have had anything interesting to photograph, though. Nothing new has happened in the past few weeks. Work suddenly has me slammed but I get to go to Memphis next week for a client, so that means I get to see my parents, Steph, Ben, and Austin!

Boycott concluded

My sports strike has officially ended.......who was I kidding anyway?

Philip is Boycotting Sports

As of January 13th, I am officially finished watching sports, listening to sports radio and looking up sports online. I take it way too seriously and get ultra depressed when my team loses. So, I am on a sports strike until further notice. I am also boycotting everything having to do with Jessica Simpson. She has singlehandedly taken down a proud franchise.

I'm camera-less

Since we no longer have a working camera I haven't felt much like blogging lately. Plus nothing has really happened that's worth blogging about. So I thought I would share this YouTube video that my friend Dana had emailed to me a while ago. I hadn't actually looked at it until today. You might need a tissue.

It's 2008!

Wow! It's already 2008! Although this post is one day late, it's the perfect day to wish my nephew a Happy 3rd Birthday. Who am I kidding, 3-year-olds don't read my blog. See you in a couple of weeks, buddy.


Of course it wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't make a ridiculous list of things I want to accomplish. This year I finally stopped resolving to stop biting my nails. It clearly isn't going to happen. Instead, my list is entirely focused on the fun athletic events I want to do in 2008! I'm still not sure about the last one - the Prairie Man is actually a half-Ironman. We'll see.

• March 1, 2008: DAM Spring SCY Meet
• March 8, 2008: Athens YMCA Triathlon
• April 6, 2008: Fast and Furious Duathlon
• May 3-4, 2008: Sam's Club MS 150
• May 17, 2008: Memphis in May Mountain Bike Tri
• May 18, 2008: Memphis in May Triathlon
• June 7, 2008: Metroplex Sprint Triathlon
• July 26, 2008: South Central Zone LCM Championships
• September 7, 2008: Prairie Man Triathlon

This is going to be a great year, though, even if I don't cross each and every one of the above items off my to-do list. Phil is going to start an MBA program in the fall and hopefully this is the year I'll finally make it official with the CPA thing. We're not planning any big trips - but who knows what little adventures will come our way. This weekend, it will be racquetball.
