If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you; I came to live out loud.

via Facebook... By the hard stares, mournful meows, and sharp nose pokes, I'm suspecting it might be feeding time at the zoo...

via Facebook... R.j. is finally able to attempt a yard mowing. I'm ready to get him unstuck from the swamp if he starts sinking...Timber has a pull vest so he can help!

via Facebook... Someone just made what they thought was a great (but was also totally wrong) point and actually typed "HHMMMM ChaChing Chaching" as their parting remark. It will be my new catch phrase.

via Facebook... My new favorite word: mumpsimus PRONUNCIATION: (MUMP-suh-muhs) MEANING: noun: 1. A view stubbornly held in spite of clear evidence that it's wrong. 2. A person who holds such a view. ETYMOLOGY: According to an old story, a priest used the nonsense word mumpsimus (instead of Latin sumpsimus) in the Mass. Even when told it was incorrect, he insisted that he had been saying it for 40 years and wouldn't change it. The expression is "quod in ore sumpsimus" ('which we have taken into the mouth'). Earliest documented use: 1530.

via Facebook... AND...here comes the rain again. Downpour, really. My lawn is growing in leaps and bounds, but the ground is so wet we can't mow. Tennis balls are getting lost in the tall grass! HORROR!
