I’ve got the Blues

As some of you know I deliver part time with Amazon when I’m not writing these amazing, insightful, mind-altering blog posts about how I embarrass myself so often, or about men’s underwear. OK so they’re not quite Shakespeare or Plato but sometimes I really want you to know about a bad date, or that my dog eats her own poop!

Back to the point… today I was in Smyrna, Tennessee for a delivery on a military base. When I told him my address, the gate guard told me to go to where the road looked like it ended, make a left, and deliver the package in the hangar that’ll be on my left. I did so, and when I walked in… I saw this.

Didn’t expect that, but it was awesome! This is one of the Blue Angels jets and I asked permission to take a few pics. My day was made.

The royal ‘I do’

I don’t want to poo poo on anyone’s parade here, but I can’t figure out why half of America (and by default that should include their husbands, too, I guess) is so excited about the royal wedding. Or is it just weddings in general? Wait wait, relatively unknown girl meets prince and against all odds becomes princess… it’s the storyline of pretty much every Disney movie! I get it now.

But here in the real world, the royal happenings usually have nothing to do with anything or anyone over here, except that Meghan Markle is (or was, according to Wikipedia) an American actress. By the by, she was also a briefcase girl on “Deal or No Deal,” which sounds slightly sexist in today’s culture, also pointed out by this guy.

There wasn’t this much hype around her first wedding, why this one? Ohhhh because it’s the royal family. She’ll be a princess. She’ll be a queen. Um, nope! Harry, her fiancé or husband depending on when you read this, is 6th in line to the throne! In other words, he’s just chillin’ and now she’ll be just chillin’, too, kind of like winning the lottery for her, I guess.

I’m not upset about the marriage or “the big day” for the happy couple, just curious. I’ve heard some folks are waking up in the wee hours of the morning to watch the ceremony. Y’all crazy! But hey while you’re at it, can you go ahead and feed my dogs? 🙂

You know it’s time to go to the store when…

I was recently reminded that I needed to make a special trip to the store. What for? Well, I’ll just say this…

Doggy doo on a stick

One of my dogs eats her own poop. I’ve written about it before so it’s not a subject I’m uncomfortable with. I mean, if she’s comfortable enough to eat poop, shouldn’t I be comfortable enough to talk about it? She’s my daughter after all, and I’m not ashamed of her! With that said, I’m not particularly fond of this habit of hers. She’s 8 years old and pretty much for her entire life I’ve tried to keep her from doing this horrid thing. But for 8 years, she’s done this horrid thing.

The other day I caught her in the act and I was determined to stop it. So what did I do? Something I’ve done a million times before: I got a stick to poke the poo and toss it over the fence.

That’s right, I poke the poo.

The only thing is, just like a million times before, I ended up just stabbing the poop balls because they wouldn’t stay on the stick. So now we’re left with poop that’s actually easier to eat than it was before!

Yep, I’ve smashed it all up into bite size pieces. Think of a potato that’s been turned into smashed potatoes. Just add butter and she could have a decent second or third meal going here.

All in all, I guess it does help keep the yard clean, so the next time I’m mowing I don’t step in a bunch of doggy doo. Maybe this is her way of earning her keep.

Oh goodness, should be thanking her?
