5 Random Things (that you don't need to know, but that you'll probably read anyway)

1. Dave and I have been invited to his cousin's wedding at the end of April. This means that I will have to do something that I loathe to do - go shopping. It's unfortunate that Levi's 524 Too Superlow Bootcut jeans and an ATA hoodie sweatshirt would not be appropriate attire for the occasion - I'm sure people would be much more comfortable if they were able to dress casually at weddings :) Would anyone like to be my personal shopper?

2. Ryan challenged Dave to a race this past weekend. Dave is freakin' fast and I thought that Ryan had NO CHANCE whatsoever; apparently, I hadn't taken his long, floppy legs into consideration. If he hadn't looked over at his dad to see where he was - he'd have beat him! As it was, Dave only beat him by one stride. Ryan will smoke him by the end of the summer!


3. I'm not quite sure that Coco is completely comfortable here with us yet.

Okay, so I lied. She's a total princess and she knows it. One night last week she decided that sleeping in her crate at night was not cool - so, now she sleeps on our bed like a little angel all night long. She has also proven to us that she is pretty smart. We shut her in the kitchen last Thursday night when we went to tkd by blocking off the two doorways with Aunt Kim and Uncle Chris's gates. Guess who met us AT THE DOOR with a wagging tail when we got home????? She chewed a perfectly engineered zig-zag pattern into the plastic gate webbing and hopped right through - she's obviously brilliant!

4. There is an after-testing-celebration being planned for "people who get squat this testing cycle". It basically started when Painter Jeff (who isn't really painting anymore - do we have to change his name??????) and I were whining about the patheticness of our paying $60 for nothing (yeah, yeah, I know, we get a score - whooo hoo!) Anyway, we decided that we'd go out after and get a drink or something along with all of our peeps who also get nothing but a score (Kim, Curt) - and those others who would like to join us :) Any ideas of where to go?

5. I got all wet running back and forth into and out of tkd numerous times today because I let someone borrow my umbrella :) Ha! It was only sprinkling and I'm not sweet enough to melt. Thanks for calling and letting me know it was safe in the mailbox - I was getting worried :) Next Thursday for the walk, right? That's the day after testing..... we'll have plenty (of people) to talk about.
