I know it is hard to tell but this is a sunflower field that is about a half a mile east of Victoria, KS.

If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down. --Mary Pickford

little something to share

The peace of God has been placed in our hearts and in our hands. The heart is pure to hold it, and the hands are strong to give it. We cannot lose.

Dear Dogs and/or Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough! To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door: To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets: 1. They live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'niture. 3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, they are an animal. To me, they are an adopted family member who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they: 1. Eat less 2. Don't ask for money all the time 3 Are easier to train 4. Normally come when called 5. Never ask to drive the car 6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends 7. Don't smoke or drink 8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions 9. Don't want to wear your clothes 10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and... 11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Top 10 Peeves Dogs Have With Humans

1. Blaming your farts on me..... not funny... not funny at all!

2. Yelling at me for barking. I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG

3. Taking me for a walk, then not letting me check stuff out. Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose. Stop it!

5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.

6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo oooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

7. Taking me to the vet for "the big snip", then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!

8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

9. Dog sweaters. Hello ??? Haven't you noticed the fur?

10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.

desk clerk

Well being a desk clerk is the hardest job. I never thought it would be like this. I am on my feet all the time and my whole body is in constent pain. I am going to give it a few weeks. At least a month. 6 weeks isn't that how long it takes for your body to get use to something. Then if my body still hurts the way it does now I am just going to have to give up. It is just to hard on me. But I think once i get use to it I will enjoy it.

Started my new job today

i started my new job today as a desk clerk. I think I am going to really like it. I am very tired and had to stand a lot so I am in a lot of pain in my back too. I will make it though. My doggie really missed me and it is hard being away from him, but I will be able to deal with it. I tried to get blogger hooked up on my phone last night, but it just wouldn't work Oh well i guess that is life. Have a good one!

Quite in the house!

Well the summer is over and school starts this week for Kara and I. I had to put my own money into school this year. I hope I get my loan if I don't I am in a lot of trouble. I am taking human biology and Spanish. So I hope it is easy.

I got a small job at Russell office supply/video store. I really like it. But I don't get many hours and just minimum wage. So I am still looking. But I think I will keep the video store as a 2nd job. It is just a few hours a day and is kind of easy.

I finally went and applied at a motel. The one in Russell. I don't know why but working in a motel is something that I have always wanted to do. So I went ahead and did it. I know I will end up working holidays and weekends. But I guess that is life. Who is to say I will get it any way. The one I applied at is really nice.

Didn't get up to go to church today. I am horrible for that. I know when I got to read tonight that it will make me feel even more horrible.
