'Impossible' is not a word, it's just a reason for someone not to try.

I love it when she uses me as a pillow. She just snuggles right up there and zonks out :)

I think the postal workers of Otsego have it out for me. I rarely send 'snail mail' because all of our bills are paid online, so the only time I really send mail is the occasional card to someone or like at Christmas time. It's not like I'm over-working my postal workers or anything, that is hardly the case at all....but the past 2 times I've sent mail, it's come back to me, and I'm miffed.

About a month ago, I sent a card to my dearest Mike in Phoenix. After asking him if he'd received it a few times and wondering what the heck was going on, 2 weeks later I got it back all mangled and dirty and ripped with a sticker that said "Received possibly damaged in: 49078." Let me tell you, it was not possibly damaged...it was damaged. I happened to see our mail carrier the next day and asked him what that meant...and he said it got stuck in one of those blue drop boxes and was just chilling out for a week and a half til someone noticed it, and then since it was ripped they sent it back to me. Not cool. To remedy this situation, I took full advantage of a stamp and sent 2 cards in 1 envelope to him again, and this time he got them within 2 days. What gives?

2 weeks ago I sent a card to Nikki-J and I got it back in the mail on Saturday...no sticker, just 'Return to Sender' written on it. There was no other explanation and I really don't know why, because the address was correct...weird. The envelope was ripped and even the card was ripped and ruined this time (the part where it folds was completely not connected anymore...not sure how that was accomplished.) Sadly it was too ripped and ruined to resend, so I went out and got a new card to send (Nikki - I'll be sending it out tomorrow, so be watching!) so it better make it this time!! They now owe me 3 stamps, and $3 for the replacement card. I'll be waiting for my check, USPS of Otsego.

Today was a weird day at church. We had to play bells this morning, and as usual certain people showed up a good 20 minutes late (big problem when you need all the practice time you can get, like we do) for our rehearsal. Then the service started with the most depressing Earth day poem I've ever heard, that basically said we're all bad Americans because of how much junk food we consume and how much trash we produce and how we don't eat locally enough, plus it had some nice politics and Obama support added in. If the war in Iraq is illegal, then so is your stupid health care plan, so shut up. Anyways. The whole service was centered around Earth day, which is fine...I'm all for taking care of our environment and being aware and 'going green' and all that...but that's not what I go to church to hear, and certainly not if you're going to throw in politics to the mix. Even Josh was pissed. So we spent our 20 minute ride home talking about all the stupidity that went on...and then took a looooong nap. Life is better with naps.

My parents tried to get us to skip to go to church with them and we totally should have. If it wasn't for bells. I feel bad leaving them hanging since we have no extras, and we can't play the music with all of us there anyways, so I can only imagine how much worse it would be with a newbie in there. Mom, if you're reading this, don't even bother saying 'I told you so...' because I know! :)

I'm watching the American Country Music awards and guess who is performing right now....the one and only Taylor Swift. Oh how I love her. She just always manages to put a smile on my face. She is soaring through the air right now. Whoa! She just did her her own costume change! So fabulous.

Last night we played Euchre and I actually did pretty good!! I was kind of nervous at first, because all the men folk drew names for partners, so I didn't get to be with Josh....but I won 3 games with my different partners! It was pretty intense though...you play a game and then if you win, you stay, if you were the losing pair, you switch tables. Plus you can't have the same partner more than once, so each time you switch tables you switch partners...craziness. It was fun though! I'm still way confused because they all move so fast! But I'm catching on :)

Aww, Brooks and Dunn just did their final awards show performance. They've been making music and been on the radio since I can remember listening to music...it's going to be weird not hearing anything new from them anymore. Crazy. I was never a huge Brooks and Dunn fan, but they were definitely a big part of country music and they will be missed.

Well I think I'm gonna head to bed. Only 20 more minutes left, gotta watch to see if Taylor gets Entertainer of the Year! I hope she does, but any of them in that category would be good :)

I will leave you with some pictures....Goodnight :)

Josh and the kitties


They think it's their bed!

I will never understand the bond between Josh and Oscar, but it cracks me up. Oscar is so much like a dog sometimes, it's ridiculous! They are definitely best buds though, I love it.


Can you tell he eats it up? LoL
