Your name is Boggs Dundermifflin

Congratulations! You had the honor of being a District 5 tribute in the 45th Hunger Games!

You were killed by nunchaku.

This one is awesome too!

Interesting article from Dogster, on the benefits of cinnamon for your dog! I love cinnamon myself, and Nate definitely likes the little liver flavored powder that I got to make his dry food more "interesting." So I'll likely give this a try for him. :o)

You know the story about the lion and the mouse? Well here's a real life version with a leopard and young rat! Gorgeous pictures and a really unusual story!

Thanks triggerhappy for sharing! Awesome. ^__^

Yesterday's Kentucky Derby was fantastic to watch! We actually were all rooting for Street Sense, even though it seems fairly rare that your favorite actually wins. *G* We enjoyed the story of his trainer (the first Derby he won, with Unbridled I believe, was for that 92 year old lady and it was just such a cool win!) and liked the look of Street Sense. So it was absolutely wonderful to see him win, especially seeing how he manuevered from 19th to first and made it look pretty darn easy. *happy dancing*

A few more photos here. Street Sense, Hard Spun and pony horse Chopper are the only equines pictured.

Otherwise, it's been a good weekend so far. We picked up some burgandy lamb tips at Trader Joe's last night and had them for dinner, along with mashed potatoes with goat cheese. Mmmm. It was all delicious! Today I got to ride Jeffrey a bit early in the morning, then used Mom's new camcorder to tape the first two rounds. It's a neat little camera! Hopefully I did okay with the recording. lol. Poor Nate was super sore this morning, but it was kind of nice for him not to be caterwauling all morning with excitement. ^___^

hehe. I think that I have a chicadee and a tiny goldfinch trying to get the nerve up to try out the new birdfeeder. YAY!!! I heard this chirping noise out my window, and saw this tiny bird - at first I thought it was a hummingbird, but it didn't move or buzz like a hummingbird. It looks like a pale gold (the sun is behind it so I can't see super well), so I'm guessing it's just a small goldfinch. Anyway, that's cool they're finding the new feeder!

I've always meant to look at the can art and keep forgetting. They don't have that much up in their gallery, but their "permanent" gallery is kind of cool.

My best friend just launched a new website for her calligraphy services. Granted, she is my best friend and I'm highly biased, but I think her work is just beautiful! The gallery section has many samples - please feel free to check it out. I LOVE her peacock work! This friesian calligram is a piece that she did for me, and I think it's fabulous. ^___^

Anyway, just had to share her new site. Her work has always been lovely, but the new layout and photography is just stunning and really shows it all off.

They've got some super cute photos up this time! The first two are kitties, then a snooty pug, and then down the page there's a squirrel eye-deep in snow! Somedays you just need a LOT of cute to make up for the general "ugh"ness of the rest of the day, and this worked fabulously. :D

btw, I just found out that Safeway makes some of the BEST mashed potatoes EVER. Mmm, mmm. Well, that's not homemade, you know. Though, these are WAY easier so that is a huge bonus. Creamy and delicious, and only takes 4 minutes to heat up. We have a winner!

Ok, apparently I live under a rock. I'm playing catchup in the csi community, and found this link about Nick's Rage Diary. Some of it is pretty darn funny. Some of it's not, but whatever. It was good for a laugh this morning. ^___^

Sad news. Barbaro had to be put down due to further complications. That really sucks after trying so hard to recover. :(
