This weekend I got a GPS! Yay! I’ll NEVER be lost again! To celebrate, I took the boys to this fort. When we got there, I realized it was NOT the fort that I’d meant to go to. I wanted to go here but I hadn’t known the name of the place when I was looking for it. But thanks to technology, I was able to find the proper name and get us there.
We spent a little over an hour, sweating our asses off, looking at the fort. Very neat. Then we went to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! I love those places. I’m such a sucker. Then we walked all over downtown Saint Augustine. And then? Then I was able to follow my new leader, The GPS, as it led me home. Wonderful!
We got the GPS since I’m driving the boys and my niece to Oklahoma this summer for our vacation. I’ll leave a couple of days before Sweety is flying out and then will pick him up from the airport. We’re going to stop in Alabama and do some sight-seeing there on our way. And I know I’ve mentioned it already, but TINY DOG WILL BE WITH ME! IN BED! WITH ME! FOR TWO WEEKS!
Do you know what’s second best to hotel sex? Sleeping with Tiny Dog in a hotel. I can’t wait. Sweety is going to read this, become even more jealous of Tiny and off her before vacation. I can see it happening.
Do you know what makes me want to have hotel sex at home?
Sweety washing Stinky Dog for me. You really have no idea what a turn on it is.
Stinky isn’t so excited when the bathing is going on but she reaps benefits later. She’s easier to love when she isn’t oily. Um, don’t ask why the flashlight is in the background. I’m not sure exactly what Sweety does when he’s washing her. I just know that she’s clean when she walks out of the bathroom.
Oh! If you haven’t voted for this photo, please give it a tap!
Let me share something with you. I finished those damn Twilight books. I didn’t want to like them. The first two didn’t really excite me but book three got under my skin. Went out and got the last book and read it in one 5 hour sitting. Because I had to know how it ended before I could go to sleep. I am so glad that I’m done with them. And for the record, I am Team Jacob. I have had dreams of having little werewolfy babies. I can’t believe that I’m admitting that.

Yea for GPS!! I have it on my new crackberry and it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Even better than Michael.
I really want to judge you on the Twilight thing, but I can’t because I’m sure I’d like it if I read it. I’m a sucker for a well written book series. Which is why I won’t allow myself to be sucked in. I saw the movie (against my will) and that will be good enough for me. Plus, reading books and then watching the movies does nothing but make me angry at all the things they changed. I usually leave the move all clenched up. Why put myself through that?

The GPS is a life-changing item!
I held off on reading the books and probably wouldn’t have if my niece hadn’t read them and wanted to talk to me about them. If you decide you’d like to have the crack that is Twilight – I’ve got all of the books and you could have them.

I would love a GPS. I never really get lost and as long as there are Atlas’s and Mapquest, I do well. But I love gadgets. We hit the Ripley’s Museum in Ocean City – I love those places too. Stinky dog looks like a horse headed to slaughter. “OH NO!! Not the water thing again!” LOL

I can’t read a map to save my life. We were on a trip once and Sweety got really mad when I was trying to read the map. He later said, “I knew I was on my own when I saw that you had the fucking map UPSIDE DOWN.”
Poor, Stinky. She knows what it means when the shower curtain gets pulled back…

LOL, I think YOUR GPS is MY GPS! It is fantastic!
Thank you. I really like that photo of him too.

Dang. I’d do Sweety after that pic, too! :)
I’m getting Bill a GPS for Father’s Day, but he doesn’t know it yet. Shhhhh.
Oh…guess what? Our COAEW is now disabled. Guess why? She has depression AND fibromyalgia. Now, I understand all the people who actually suffer from those things. I really do. BUT…leave it to her to get diagnosed with things that aren’t actually based on hard evidence, ya know? She is now on disability. Wonder what doctor she conned for that? UGH. She ticks me off SO bad.

LOL, Sweety is especially doable after dog duty. He’s the best :)
I asked Sweety if he wanted one but he has a freakish sense of direction and has no need for one.
I’d almost bet that our coaews are cousins or something!

That GPS sounds FABULOUS! Congratulations to you….!
LOVE that picture of Sweety with Stinky….Stibky is the most laid back dog, ever! But I’m worried about her: WHERE will she be while Tiny is on the trip with you?? Poor Dear Stinky….left at home??

Stinky will be left at home but she’ll be fine. The neighborgirl will come over many times a day to visit with her. She even comes over to watch t.v. with Stinky on the couch.
I’d take Stinky if we had more room in the car but there just isn’t.
To make up for it, I’m making sure she has extra special food and treats when we’re gone.

Cool fort. I have GPS but it tends to want to go a different way than I want to take. Then it bitches at me when I don’t follow its directions.

I guess the GPS took me “the long way” (so Sweety says) but as long as it gets me where I want to go it’s all good!

I’m glad I’m not the ONLY one that appreciated the picture of Sweety. Well done, you.
He’s a little, uh, skinny for my taste, though. ;)
Your poor Stinky Dog looks like she’s going to have a nervous breakdown!

Thank you, Sweety is pretty nifty :) I have got to find some photos of Sweety when he graduated high school. 6′ 6″ and about 165. He looked like an albino string bean. Freakish.
Oh yeah, Stinky has a little heart attack when she realizes that it’s bath time. I don’t know why she hates it so much.

What model GPS did you get? The second fort looks way cooler than the first.
P.S. I just want to know what Sweety’s reward is for washing stinky dog.

A Garmin 255WT. That’s what I had planned on getting but spent an hour looking at them in the store before buying it. Love it!
Reward? My undying devotion ;)

Oh, Stinky….
As horrible as Fiero is, I can’t sleep without him in the bed.
(Sweety’s shoulders? Niiiiiiiice!)

I sleep so much better when Tiny’s in the bed. The main reason is if she’s in the bed, she doesn’t cry to be let out at night or really early in the morning.
Sweety’s going to see these comments and get all full of himself.

Stinky looks so little compared to Sweety. I never guessed he was 6’6″! I thought I liked them tall… You have me beat, the tallest I’ve dated was 6’2″.

Stinky is pretty small for a basset hound too. When we go out, people think she’s a puppy til they see all of the gray hair on her.
I’d never been around anyone so tall before. I realized that he was big when I was moving down here and when loading the back of my truck – he just stepped in over the side. Like a giant.

Sweety looks nice. Love the biceps. Your’e so lucky he will bath the dogs. I can’t handle my dogs because they are too big and tall. Ha!

If my dogs were taller, they’d be easier for me to wash. It’s being stooped over for so long that wears me out. Sometimes I bathe them outside and set them on a picnic table so I can stand. They REALLY hate that.
