Midnight screech

That yummy sounding casserole in my last post? HUGE HIT! The fam LOVED IT! It was pretty delicious and if I wasnt marrying and cooking dinners for a picky future hubs I would definitely let that recipe make it into the weekly dinner cycle. Yeah, it was that delicious.

Other news! Kyle and I were sound asleep last night. I mean like so asleep I had no idea the world existed kinda sleep. All of a sudden Miss Sophie, which was sleeping between Kyle and I, starts screaming/howling. Other than the fact that I about poo'd myself it turned out to be nothing more than baby girl having a nightmare. Seriously? I knew dogs dreamt but nightmares? It took us a second to calm her down but once that was accomplished she slept in her mommas arms the rest of the night. This morning she was nearly impossible to get up. She went outside and pottied with Koby and then they both came and got in bed with me before I got up to get ready for work. I literally had to pick her up out of the bed and go put her in her crate for me to be able to leave. Normally I just say "let's go Sophie" and off she trots to her sanctuary...which she despises.

So I leave you with photo proof that the babes were even being lazier than their momma this morning:



Oh and of course last night when Sophie decided to stretch across the bed and pass out I took a picture of that as well...



Yes, I take pictures of my dogs like most take pictures of their two legged children.

The collar

So if you've ever owned a schnauzer or came around one then it's a given that you know they bark...a lot. I mean it's excessive to the point you think they potentially have issues. Their breed is known for being very protective of their homes and their owners. Well before we got Miss Sophie I had no idea about any of the above. Her barking disrupts the neighbors, it's high pitched, and quite frankly...annoying. Yes, I said it. The only thing that kept me from kicking her to the curb, metaphorically speaking of course, was her sweet and precious personality. She will look up at you with these eyes that melt you heart completely. She will cuddle with you and love on you to no end. She's not considered a lapdog and she's the most of one I've ever had.

Kyle had finally had enough. He gave in and went and purchased a bark collar. I thought it would just give her a little zap and she woul stop. No not case in hand at all. It's like someone pokes her with a flaming torch. At one point she reared back on her back legs like a horse. This breaks.my.heart.

I feel like its animal abuse! I'm scared the neighbors think we are cruel people or they're possibly thanking the heavens that the barking is getting under control. What do you do? Let them follow their natural instincts? Or break them of the habit and gain some sanity back?

Birthday goodies

Yesterday I unexpectedly got off work early. I went home and cleaned the entire house, finished laundry, played with the babes, and baked my birthday boy a cake and some muffins.



I won't lie I was pretty proud of myself when it came to the cake. It was the first cake I'd ever made and it turned out fabulous!



Funfetti of course! Kyle thought it was pretty good as well. I gathered the dogs and we sang him happy birthday. Actually Koby looked at me as if I'd clearly lost my mind and honestly after yesterday I wouldn't be surprised if I had.

I made Kyle enchiladas for his birthday dinner and it was scrumptious! After cleaning up the kitchen we caught up on our three missed episodes of Big Brother. Ending result: Willie is insane.

Adulthood

Today I'm joining Mama Kat with her weekly writing prompts.



Today's writing prompt I've chosen is "list the 6 best things about being an adult".

Now after much thought and consideration I've formulated a list in which best suits my "favorite" things as an adult.



1.NAPTIME! Nap time lasts longer than 30 minutes to an hour. That's right. Wearing the big girl panties lets me pick and choose when I nap and for what duration. Sure I wish I had more naps, actually on a daily basis but at least when I get to take a nap I make damn sure that nap rocks my world.



2.ALCOHOL Now when I was younger I imagined by the time I hit legal age limit I would be a few steps shy of being considered an alcoholic. However that's not even close to the case. Yet if I have a crap day at work you can bet your ass I can hit up the liquor store and buy wine by the gallons!



3.RULES Unfortunately I still have to abide by these sometimes over the top rules that are called "laws" because I'm not quite the rebel so I still can't dance up and down the streets nude because they try to title it "indecent exposure" or something but for the most part...I make my own rules. like a boss.




4. WISDOM. I would like to think that I've gained an ounce or so of wisdom since my adolescent years. However I wish that I had the knowledge I have now back in the day. I highly doubt I would've used it though.




5. MONETARY FREEDOM That's right, I pick and chose what I do with my hard earned money! You know, what ever is left at the end of the bill cycle anyway... I'm just saying if I walk up in TJ MAXX and want to go ape shit...I can.



6. MOTHERHOOD By far my favorite thing about being an adult is motherhood to my four legged babies anyway. At least I always know someone is super excited to see me when I come home they even pee their pants!

Join in Mama Kat! After today I will have two days left and then it will be Sunday! The only day of the week that I don't work!

Hog Rockin'

So for the past four days this Diva has been on total vaca. Every year Honey and I leave out on the bike in June to attend our annual summer bike rally in Cave In Rock, IL- Hog Rock. I could sit here all day and try to explain how crazy it is however, you still probably could never even imagine. Google Hog Rock, they have pictures on the site and as their motto goes, "If you don't want to show it later, don't show it now" you can use your imagination on what that pertains too.

Note: Honey is not cross eyed, he is just full of beer. :D

This lovely couple you see... well this year was not their first go around. Honestly, I didn't even know they were a couple last year when I was sitting at a picnic table enjoying a beer only to look back and see man getting head from woman...I thought they had just met. However this year Honey and I met Mr. and Mrs. Blowjob. They actually turned out to be some pretty neat people, interesting to say the least.

Clearly, you never know what you're going to see when it comes to visiting the grounds of Hog Rock. And yes, that is a motorized Keystone Light beer can.

Though my weekend was fun and relaxing I'm happy to be home. The two hour Harley ride to and from Illinois is enough to wear anyone out. Needless to say I was beyond happy to have a nice shower and be in the comfort of my own home. The babies were beyond excited to see us as were we to see them. They've oddly been on very good behavior, Koby (the puppy) even stayed calm enough to take a nap with Honey and I yesterday. We're beginning to think it's their way of begging us to never leave them for four days again.

Now it's back to putting on the domestic crown that still hangs slightly crooked. Even after a long weekend I've managed to cook dinner last night as well as tonight and even tackle some laundry and straightening up. Unlike my normal self, I have even unpacked and organized all of our camping goods and duffle bag. I believe a jewel added to my crown is well deserved.
