Dog voice

We were laying in bed Sunday morning with Dobby laying between us and Draco trying to get our attention.  I realized that Draco was trying to tell us that he wanted to go outside,  so I got up and put both dogs out.   When I got back into bed, I said out loud that Dobby was like "Draco, you suck, you made me get out of warm bed!"  And James said "No, I think Draco was more like "Get them MuthaFuckin Pugs outta that MuthaFuckin Bed!!!, LIKE SAMUAL L JACKSON".  That was an amazing moment.  Love him.  Now Draco has an accent!

1 God, 1 heaven, No hell

There are those in this world that feel or know that there is no higher being - just scientific facts.  But for the rest of us, we struggle to find and define that one higher being that we believe to be out there.  For those of us scientific souls who know that the universe is an infinite cycle, it is difficult to pin down what we hope is a higher being looking down on us.  Myself, I struggle with being a scientist and then hoping that my loved ones are up in heaven, looking down at me.  Here is my take on it...
There is no hell.  When you die, your soul is light - lighter than anything.  Where does it go?  UP!  Whether that is a place called heaven or not, I believe we go UP.   Whether I believe or anyone else believes that someone has led a horrible life, does that mean that their soul heavy enough to seep into the soil?  I don't think so.  Without a body, your soul rises up. 
I don't mean to offend any (if anyone actually reads this), but I think that no matter what God you believe in, it is the same God.  The same higher being.  For me, it amounts to this.  If God is supposed to be the most powerful being in the world, why would God allow multiple religions?  Why - God has designed it that way.  With billions of people in the world, everyone should have their own free will, believe how they want to, and live their lives the way they believe they should.  If we were to all believe the same, worship the same, live the same, wouldn't he/she/it have designed it that way?  If we weren't meant to live together as a mixed society, mixed races, mixed religions, mixed beliefs, wouldn't have God have stepped in by now?   It all works together.
When you love someone that has died, do you not automatically look up?  Even if you know that person hasn't lived the best of lives, been the best person possible, sinned according to the bible (or whatever book you take stock in), don't you automatically hope that they are up above you?  Loving you, supporting you, watching over you, protecting you? 
Funny that thinking about my darling pets made me think about that.  They love you, regardless of what you do, or who you actually are on the inside.  Your pets are there for you, to follow you around, protect you, watch over you, and love you unconditionally.  It saddens me that some people can't find solace in a pet.  They are such a comfort and I believe that they are just little guardians sent down to watch over us.

The pink house

We put our house on the market today and James showed the listing to some of his coworkers.   We do have one of the biggest backyards in the neighborhood,  but everyone was amazed at just how big it looked in the pictures.   They said "you could fit a whole other house back there!"   So I said "yeah, the pink house for my gay boyfriend! "   James said "he can't live that close, I've been working out and he might want me instead!!!"   Love it!  He's not against my having one, just not with it....

Ginger

One of my favorite lines in Pitch Perfect is "this ginger needs her jiggle juice! "  It's funny, and I'm a ginger. So we were watching it earlier and that part came on, so I did the butt slap & snap that Chloe does in the movie.    Aaron was next to me on the couch and when I did it, he turned and slapped my thigh right where I did.  It was funny, so James told Aaron to do it harder. So he would slap my thigh and I would snap.  After a few, it was stinging. So James slapped the same spot (really hard), and told Dylan too as well.  WOW!  My thigh was bright pink and burned.  Apparently I can't do the "this ginger needs her jiggle juice" slap & snap any longer around my family.  Two hours later and that spot still hurts!

CO men

My company went through a Tx sales tax audit, which meant I had to go to the office everyday to help out the auditor.   He was cool, so it made it easier to have to be there - compared to the mental image of an auditor as an older, balding, greying, heavy-set man with no measurable sense of humor.  Anyway, we talked a lot while he was there, about food, football, denver, mountain time zone, weather, living the bachelor life, etc.  But the funniest conversation came on the last day as he was packing up to leave.   He lowered his voice and asked what was up with all CO men having really short haircuts.  My first thought was that I had never noticed.  But then I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that we are more laid back here, don't care as much what people think of us, and in the winter, it's easier to have a short haircut that won't get messed up by putting a snow cap on.  Now that he brought that up, I keep noticing men's haircuts all the time.  And for the most part, it's true!  Weird.....

Drama!

Our boys are total drama queens.   We know it, they know it.  So now when they are actively trying to create drama or whining, we say "DRAMA!"   We say it just like Mike Meyers in "The Love Guru."   The boys started calling each other drama queens in the backseat of the truck, and then decided they didn't like being called queens.  So now they have decided that being called "drama knights" sounds way cooler. 

Burrito

We were laying in bed this morning with Dobby laying between us.  I was petting him, and James was annoyed that he was between us.  So to mess with him, James started playing with his feet, which Dobby hates.  James kept saying that he looks like a burrito and we should roll him in foil next Halloween.  
So as I laid there laughing, James tried to teach Dobby to curl his legs into his chest and "burrito."   Haha.  He would be the only dog that can't "lay down" but can "burrito."   That would be an awesome trick.
