Wet

Rain, rain

Go away

Come again another day

Little Zippy wants to play.

Little Zippy needs to be outside. Or something. She's bored to tears after being stuck inside most of the week.

Random Quote Meme

My friend Devin tagged me to complete a meme wherein the blogger picks out five quotes that resonate with you. He pointed me toward this site, but I assume that any quotes will do. Here are my five:

1. I'm going to memorize your name and throw my head away. Oscar Levant (1906 - 1972)
2. It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness. Lenny Bruce (1923 - 1966)
3. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
4. Soldiers who are not afraid of guns, bombs, capture, torture or death say they are afraid of homosexuals. Clearly we should not be used as soldiers; we should be used as weapons. anonymous, Letter to the Editor, The Advocate
5. All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

Now I'm supposed to tag people. Hmmm... Oh heck, I'll let you tag yourselves. I'm lame like that.

Sonic!

One thing we learned to love during our year in Arkansas was Sonic Drive-In. The food is fine fast food, but Burger and I formed a serious relationship with the drinks at Sonic. And the ice. Sonic has these little tiny ice cubes that are PERFECT for crunching. (Burger says they're more like tiny cylinders than cubes, and she's right.) Yesterday, Bend's first Sonic opened, and of course we had to head up there to get our fix. I had my much-missed diet cherry limeade, Burger had a vanilla root beer, and Zippy got a cherry slush (while the slushies don't use the ice cylinders, they rock too. Burger loves the Blue Coconut one). Mr. LT had a boring ol' diet coke, but even that comes with good ice. YAY for Sonic! I'm so easily excited.

All Dressed in White?

One of my bestest Bend buddies is getting married tomorrow, and tonight is the bachelorette party. Unfortunately, I've been sick all week, but I'm going to suck it up and go have a drink in her honor. Here's to happy weddings, and to happier marriages. May she have both.

Zippy's Haircut

Here are a few pictures of Zippy post-haircut - I'm posting them here so my Grammy Ann can see them (and figured others might like to as well). xoxo

(thanks to Jen for taking such great photos!)
