It's been such a long day. I should be asleep, but it's only 1 a.m.! Kidding.

I had a pissy fit this morning because I gained a pound. I'm pretty frustrated with going up one week and down the next. Since the beginning of August I probably have only officially managed to lose a few pounds with the constant yo-yo. I know - 36 pounds is still pretty darned good, but I have so much more to go. It seems like I've pretty much wasted the past couple of months with not being so serious more consistently. I should probably do something to shock my system for a couple of weeks and get out of this.

Mom and Jake cleaned the carpets while Andrea and I went to the U City Loop to do a photoshoot. It was gorgeous outside and a fun location. I love that part of town but it sure was busy there. Lot's of people, so we managed to work a few of them into the photos.

We brought dinner home to mom and Jake and then sat on the floor on a waterproof sleeping bag! LOL All four of us! All of the furniture is moved out of there and you can't even get through the rest of the house. My bedroom looks as if a bomb went off in here. I have come to the conclusion that I just have too much stuff. I used to be such a minimalist type of person. Just like my dad - tossing it if I don't need it. Now, it just all accumulates and I have less space to put it all in. Ugh, it makes me sick.

Of course, I should have been cleaning, but instead, Jake, Andrea and I caught a 10:20 show tonight and saw Good Luck Chuck.

I really liked it and laughed a lot. Now, for those of you not preferring the more crude and a little x-rated talk you wouldn't like it. Think 40-Year Old Virgin and American Pie. Nonetheless, I love Dane Cook. Other than the obnoxious old fart ladies sitting behind me blurting out after each scene what they thought was going to happen next, it was nice to go to a late show and not be so crowded or have to fight the teeny boppers.

Came home to see that Merlin decided to get into the bag of trash that was in the kitchen and get coffee grinds ON THE CLEAN CARPET! For the love of PETE! Looks like another runover of that are with the carpet cleaner is in order before we start dragging furniture back in tomorrow.

Now, I sit here after 1 a.m. blogging - what a loser I am! LOL I just wasn't tired - I needed to wind down. Merlin is snoring. Go figure.

Too funny, huh? Pirate came over for a visit with Jake and Andrea and we sat out by the fire outside.

This is soo funny. My mom sent me this email about getting a speeding ticket and it said, "I got pulled over speeding the other day and I thought I could talk my way out of it until the cop looked at my dog in the backseat."

Merlin has this thing where he wants his back feet on the backseat and his front feet on the console between the two front seats. His legs aren't that long and if I make a turn too quickly he goes sliding off the seat. Like a fish out of water, he twists and turns to try and get right back up into his same position. I keep saying I need to look into a seatbelt for him - if we're required to do it shouldn't they be too?

LOL - okay, so it was a cheezy intro. I'm a little photo hungry right now. This new camera hasn't been through a real test yet. So, more animals. Click for larger sizes.
