You’re probably wondering why I gathered you all here. So am I. (And....of course I didn't provide my real coordinates)

OMG that title was hella too long. Reminds me of middle earth from LOTR. If you don’t know what LOTR is then GTFO. And if you don’t know what GTFO means then you should Google it. Finally if you don’t know what Google is then you probably live in Antartica. That being said let’s get on with my blog.

First off, my rules to live by:

Don’t take life too seriously. No one gets out alive.

Life is a roller coaster. You can either scream every time you hit a bump or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it.

The best way to hang up on someone is to do it in the middle of YOUR OWN sentence. that way, they never suspect you hung up on them.

The Miss Universe pageant is fixed. All the winners are from Earth. Universe my ass.

Don’t worry about people from your past, There’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future

Now on to some of my observations:

Hey Nikon, just a friendly heads-up here… NOBODY gives one single crap what camera Ashton Kutcher uses.

What’s all this jibberish about people having to find themselves? Don’t they realize all they need is a compass, a map, or a GPS system? Or an iPhone. I wonder if ET feels really stupid now that cell phones exist? iPhone Home. Speaking of iPhone and the many users that are irate that their wireless signal suddenly drops, well .... Steve Jobs said the problem is in the software and recommends that they download the latest version of Apple's iDon'tcare. Technology - it’s all too fast for me. "I had to walk to school 2 miles in the snow... barefoot" was good in my day. But imagine the sheer terror on your grandkids face when you say "When I was born there was no internet". Actually I feel sorry for today's generation because they will never understand the ‘awesomeness’ of a mixed tape or the thrill of waiting by the radio all day long to record your favorite song. Ut-oh, just ‘aged’ myself didn’t I? Seeing that age is just a number, can I get mine unlisted?

The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when they fill out a job application. But I also think job interviews are kind of like a first date. You dress up, pretend to be someone else and spend the entire time wondering if you're going to get screwed.

I told my dog Finn it is weird that he follows me into the bathroom all the time. So he walked out. Now I know for a fact that Shelties are a very intelligent breed of dog, but now I’m just weirded out that he speaks English. Speaking of dogs, I'm sure you all know that I live with four canine 'buddies'. Well, when someone rings my doorbell, why do my dogs always assume it's for them? Now, yesterday I got quite the surprise. Apparently my four dogs had invited over some local neighborhood friends for an impromptu party. They knew the doorbell was for them. Imagine my surprise at 17 dogs lined up at my doggie door. Of course I have no objections to my dogs having fun with other dogs, but my rule was that they all had to make sure they relieved themselves prior to coming into the house. I was really happy to see that they all complied with my wishes. By the way, that is my neighbor's tree. I'm not stupid.

Even this huge fella came!

And they just kept coming.....

Not really sure how many were here all in total, but they played frisbee, tug of war, chased birds and squirrels, played soccer and just played all day long.

This particular sly little Sheltie brought his own beer! Don't worry, I checked it out. Bowser Beer is made from filtered water, pure malt barley (good for their coats), and infused with dog-loving beef broth – without hops or alcohol.

I even found one of them in my frig taking a nap!

And a couple of them all 'tuckered out' from hours of play.......

Now you can't tell me that dogs don't smile when they are having fun!

What a great group of dog friends my dogs have! I really liked this one, he cleaned up after all the others, when it was time to leave.

This little pup called home to let his family know he was leaving the party.

When they finally all went out to the gate to leave, there were two little dogs that were late for this impromptu dog party.

That was sad. Can not dismiss the sad look in the one pups eyes! Maybe next time. The little guy who left last was awesome, he had brought a rather big bone for my four dogs as a gift for inviting him. I'm pretty sure he will be on the top of the list when my dogs decide to do this again.

No, I’m not weird. I’m just a limited edition. What? You don't let your canine friends have parties?
Until next time...........................
