Up to Speed

Well, we are engaged now! It's a bird! It's a plane! No... it's an engagement! (ha ha...)

It all went down in Yosemite (we are fans, indeed). So and Marky came with- which really kept me from thinking he'd propose on the trip (good work, love).





We had a very close encounter with a bear because we arrived really late to the two pines camp ground and over looked a potato and deodorant that ended up astray under a plastic food tray (come to think, it may have carried a scent too!). In a rush- the bear jumped into the truck bed- was driven off by So- on its way out he brushed her tent! Very exciting camping experience...

The next day there was moodiness, sleepiness, and other nonsense going on with me (really I couldn't have thrown any more at Johnny). I suppose I'm pretty lucky he still proposed, but it isn't luck at all- it's some kinda of love (the best kind).

What's next? We'd like a house, definitely a wedding, probably a couple of dogs and maybe a pony for Wolfy boy to play with.

Cheers!

Lazy sunbather.

My brother spotted a lizard sunbathing in the backyard. I heard him talking to it, and was really just kind of concerned about his mental state (I absolutely love him). He invests much of his time in front of the television watching the Discovery channel. Also, that Penguins of Madagascar cartoon, but I digress. Anyway, he was convinced it was some sort of poisonous desert lizard because of the extremely bright blue and teal coloring all over his(her?) chubby little body. I sort of bought into it when I went down to see what all the fuss was about.

As all wild things are, it is quite dirty.

All he wanted was to sunbathe.

I called Kevin, the resident lizard expert, and my good friend. He looked at a few pictures and agreed to come by to pick him up, assuring us he was not dangerous, just "really cool looking."

Although it turned out to just be an exceptionally attractive blue belly, and not a poisonous beast, I am quite pleased it gave the lovely Cantrell couple a reason to stop by and spend some time with me.

Addendum/Post Script: The blue bellied sunbather freaked out during the earth quake last night. I kind of did too, my whole bed shook.

Swoon.

I loved that song you made up.

Without shoes.

Wolfy boy.

Perspective.

I say, car robot.
