Accomplished

After a bit of a snarky morning (I can be quite the cranky pants in the morning) much was accomplished today.  Sorry for being snarky sweetie. :(

We got up and walked.  It is amazing the amount of poop we encounter on our walks.  This morning was not as bad as previous excursions.  Our neighborhood association is really strict about some things (like where we can keep our garbage cans) but others they don't seem to care about.  It seems like feces strewn about where children play would be something they would discourage.  It's like they think "We don't want to see where you put your trash, keep the garbage bins out of view.  But please, by all means, share your pet poo with everyone!"  

We had a little yard work we wanted to get done today.  There was a shrub that needed to come out in our front yard.  I had hacked off what branches I could, and this morning it was time to tear the rest of it out.  I still have some things I want to do in the back yard, like tear out some lawn and put in a garden.  There is always tomorrow.   Ha ha!

Today was also the day I entered the world of  Hulu.  Hulu seems pretty cool.   It was nice to watch some shows I had been interested in.  The only thing I didn't like, was I was not able to get all the episodes.  Instead of being able to watch season 1 episode 1 I had to start on season 1 episode 4.  I was able to catch on quick, so it wasn't an issue after I watched my first episode.  I look forward to catching more things on Hulu.

And as if today wasn't full enough of fun, David took me to a driving range so I could try out my birthday present!  I was actually able to hit the ball, and I think I was hitting it better than when I was on my high school golf team.  That's actually kind of sad... but anyway, it was nice to have the club in my hand and balls to swing at.  I'm looking forward to spending some more time hitting balls and then actually playing a round of golf.  

So, despite my cranky morning, it was a wonderful Friday! :)

Failblog

This website cracks me up.  The content is not always the most appropriate, but most of the time I'm laughing to hard to care.  This little ditty:
see more pwn and owned pictures

made me laugh so hard I snorted. There is nothing right about this picture, it is disturbing on so many levels. David stopped what he was watching and listening to on his laptop just to see what had caused my outburst. In between his own laughter he agreed it was wrong for so many reasons. I just had to share. If you want to see more (not all of it is this, disturbing ) the link is: Failblog.

Weekend by the Ocean

I am loving the ocean air.  We are sitting in our room right now after a nice lunch of clam chowder, and feeding the local bunnies that we could find.  Feeding the bunnies is a part of each visit to the Inn at Cape Kiwanda, and we look forward to it ever time.  Sadly, they are doing some construction in and around the park where the bunnies dwell, and it looks like that has decreased the number of bunnies quite a bit.  We still managed to find some to feed, enjoy these pictures:

We have been so lucky with the weather so far.  It rained on us on our drive over on Friday, but it looks like we are going to have good weather for our stay.  It's been nice just hanging out, enjoying the ocean air and sounds of the waves.  The room has fire places in both rooms, so we've been nice and toasty.  I'm definitely feeling nice and relaxed.   Here are a few pictures from our room:

Weekend Recharge

Tomorrow David and I head over to the Inn at Cape Kiwanda for a weekend recharge at the beach.  This is one of our favorite places to go to just get away.  I'm planning on bringing some of our favorite movies, a lot of books, my lap top and of course the camera to get some bunny and ocean shots.  I'm just looking forward to hanging out by the beach and enjoying the sounds and smells.  There is a great pub across the street, The Pelican Pub, and I'm looking forward to some yummy meals there.  Now, I must go watch Bones.
