Devil Dawg Damage

I like her, I really do. I might even push that into the 'love' realm. Until, that is, she decided to use my favorite sandals as chew toys. That might've bumped it back into the 'like' area. That whole post on her was meant to be a satirical tongue-in-cheek expose on Calli.

My weekend in pictures - Monday

Shaun falling into the wake, soon to be minus his board.

Chris Mohr on the wakeboard for his only time up today.

Shaun's uncle Steve catching some air.

Shaun's cousin Emma (Steve's daughter). She's so adorable! She used to sing the 'Dana Song' which was my name only to the tune of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'.

The beautiful clouds this evening. They were more pink and lavender in real life, though.



Sorry I didn't get pictures of Saturday. I forgot my camera. We went with Cory and his friend Luana to see Pat McCurdy at Summerfest, and it was really fun. He did a 90's and 80's music montage in which he would play a couple lines to the songs and he and the audience would sing them. We were close, too! I wish I had had my camera. And there was a GORGEOUS sunset on Lake Michigan, Damn. I should have that thing with me always.

My Weekend in Pictures - Sunday

Ryan, Travis and Alex having fun. (Or at least Travis is)
Shaun handling the tube all by himself.
The boat that does the pulling. (And Shaun, too!)

Little but big things

I am SO proud of myself for my new blog... and the sad thing is is that the only thing I did was change the colors in the html. I'm working on getting it changed more... I'm going to have to brush up on cascading style sheets and xml, but it shouldn't be that bad. Then I can change other things and make it more 'mine'.

I got DanceDance Revolution last summer... but the dance pad that we got with it wasn't working. But that's alright since we lived on the second floor and those apartments were CHEAP. As in cheaply made. So the floor would shake and everything in the room would also shake. And in the game you have to jump. SO if you weigh anything, stuff would nearly fall off the walls and your neighbors would be super pissed. Even though they can tramp around like elephants and wrestle on the floor. ANYway, I don't have to worry about cheap assed Brittany Courts in Menomonie anymore. But my main point is is that I have been doing dancedance for an hour for the past three days. It's in the basement at Shaun's parent's house (in case you didn't know, that's where I am at... 10 minutes away from Lake Michigan and 1.9 hours from Chicago) so it doesn't upset anyone. Nice cement floors. But I sweated a lot. And my heartrate was pitter-pattering. So apparently I was working out good, but I also know that you burn more calories and whatever when you are at your target heart rate, which I was pretty sure I was above. Oh, well. At least I am doing something with myself. Now I just need to get some weight training into this all...

We might go to listen to some dixie-land music tonight. Better than sitting at the house all night like usual. Tomorrow we're going to have lunch at a sand dunes park on Lake Michigan, and Friday go to summerfest and watch fireworks and see Pat McCurdy. This time, I will bring TWO ID's! Haha. Boating for sure on Saturday, Cory might come up and go boating with us. Boating is definitly one of the best things here to do. Too bad I can't eat chocolate anymore!

DEVIL DAWG

The following is a PSA about Calli the cocker spaniel. No, no, no. NOT a holstein. COCKER SPANIEL. CANINE, not bovine.
