Germany....

So....feels like 24 hours later and Colette & I are finally at The Dom hotel and are settling into our space we will be hanging out in for the next few days! It's early. I am up - we were both up by 3:30am today. I know. I know. We needed to get more sleep and I think I will probably follow up with some sort of nap this afternoon!

I am just buying time today until some shops open up and I can start wandering around the town. It's sprinkling outside too so I am hoping that lets up so I can start snapping some photos and just having a day just to hang out.

I started taking some photos of the town but had to take cover in the rain (which it's still raining) so hopefully the weather will be nice to me. This is how it looks like right now....

84 Human Years Strong....

This is a very bittersweet post today....I want to thank a special little dog who has kept my mother happy and stayed by her side for 17 years.  

Today we had to say good-bye to her and let sleep away in peace. 

I can't imagine Khunie not being part of my life or my mother's and I appreciate her & love her for everything she has done.

Her head on my knee can heal my human hurt. Her presence by my side is protection against my dears of dark & unknown things. She has promised to wait for me....whenever...wherever...in case I need her. And I expect she will - as she always has. 

Sleeping in....and shopping on the docket for today!

First of all....I have been playing "Call me Maybe" most of this morning & Poppy and I have watching Sophia Grace & Rosie the other part of the morning!

SuperBass!

Nothing makes a morning more exciting then that right? :)

We got to sleep in & also we are off to hit all the July 4th sales now - (sigh) wouldn't it be great if you live "medium" (I'm not even asking for large) and you could just enjoy life.

Day 2 - Road Trip Vacation

A couple of points of bad news:
1. The gondola - which I was excited to take to the top of the mountain ended...oh...yesterday.
2. The pass between Yosemite from Mammoth is closed...so we decided we will stay one extra day in Mammoth.

Anyways started the day out nice this morning...took Odin for a walk and saw the sun come up.





Then I got him to pose with the Westin sign (BTW - The Westin peeps here have been nothing but nice & sweet to us - everyone here has been nice)





Ended up going out to the "unofficial" dog park here & Odin got his groove back and he's really starting to really like all the "off leash" time he is getting. He even got to go swimming!





We are hitting happy hours for dinner & hanging out in the room watching lots of CSI & Law/Order....per Tawmis.

I think we are just loving the fact that we are on vacation!!! :)

Look how happy we are!





Until my next post.....

Road Trip - Day 1

We came in last night through a pretty long trip to get here - wow that 395 is long & very boring.

Some shots in the car.









As we are driving Tom had found his place......





But we got here & the sun came up while I took Odin on his morning walk....





It's a nice day & looking forward to just hanging out :)

I'm tired

I need to remember that I can't do everything - that I can't fix everything but why does my head still rush to make it it all easier for everyone?

I'm overwhelmed & I don't feel that I have the right to be.

I don't think my problems are worse then others that I know - so bring on the guilt.
I should be happy with being - but I want to be better.

At the end of the day - I'm tired.

Easter 2012

It's been a couple months & I really need to get back to updating this blog! I think it just gets away from me but my goal is to do updates while we do our road trip at the end of this month! Yes. Check.

So we went to George's overlooking the ocean for Easter lunch & it was beautiful and very warm!

We went with the Moppy's - with just Hannah.





And the Coskys.....




It was a great time & it's just nice to see them... And everyone together. I mean nothing crazy really happened just a nice mellow lunch.

Oh.

Well there was this......




A pigeon landed on me for about two minutes and everyone almost pee'd their pants! Good stuff!!

Happy Easter!

Weekends

I love weekends - sometimes I wish that there would be 3 day weekends & 4 day work weeks!!


Hanging out with friends playing Wii simple - yet the best! :)
