Easter came and went and so did me and Jody, Spencer, BoBo and Gus -- we went down to Richfield for a quick overnighter.
Long story short: We sat down for lunch around 1:00 and BoBo decided he needed some lunch too and went over to Sid and Kristen's barn and ate about 15 pounds of dog food. He was huge by the time the food had settled in his stomach. I knew it was going to be a very long drive home. Well, just past King Hill he started to throw up a little on the seat. I pull off the road let him out hoping he would just throw it all up, but nope, he just had the upset stomach. We get home finally and I put him in the back yard. Thinking he'd been out there long enough to get rid of more, bring him back into the house as I run to the store really quick. He threw up in the house. I get home and he just looks miserable and he's got this look about him like, "I'm so sorry, mom. I couldn't hold it. Please don't hit me." Of course I couldn't get mad at him. I mean, after all, he saved me from getting a ticket for speeding (going 87) by pulling off and letting him go potty. Last night he was up 6 times needing to go outside. We were both pretty tired today. Hopefully he will do fine tomorrow as I have 2 jobs in Eagle and may not be able to come home and let him out. Pray that we get some sleep tonight as his gas is killing me!

Dad
Happy Birthday, Dad!!! Last year, Mom threw him a huge party that was so awesome that included me dressing up as "Cleatus" and putting on a magic show. This year, I'm just going to post a couple memories I have about my dad.
Pulling off dad's socks. Even as a little kid I remember pulling off dad's socks, and believe me, there's a certain way it HAS to be done -- you know, pulling from the toes, but you've got to scoot the sock down a little so you don't pull him off the couch.
Going to Twin to that place that had the horse out front for some sort of supplies for the horses and getting to eat at Burger King and actually get fries of our own and a drink.
Getting to go down into the canyon to Blue Lakes and golf. I didn't get to go that much because I was so little and took too much time to hit.
Driving the flatbed truck with a trailer attached with a tractor on top from Mud Lake to Arco at age 12 while he took a nap.
Running to Shoshone to get something from the Co-Op just so I could drive the flatbed at age 14.
When all the kids were gone and it was just me, me helping feed in the wintertime and getting the tractor stuck -- HE WAS MAD!!!!
The countless times when somebody would call or stop by in the middle of the night saying, "Your cows are out."
Those are just a few memories I have, but I just wanted to say that I love my Dad and appreciate the sacrifices he has made for me. Oh, and I just love his laugh and smile. Lately when he laughs, he laughs so hard he gets red in the face and his whole body moves up and down -- like father, like daughter. Happy Birthday Dad!

Work It!
So I was asked by my boss to represent M&M at the State Bar Conference for all the attorneys in Idaho in Ketchum in July. What an honor to represent and suck up to new clients, existing clients and just have a fun time. Obviously, Debby still thinks I'm great even though I don't right now. So me and this other gal from Twin will do a fantastic job in hopefully getting more business into M&M. Thanks to Debby for this tremendous honor to represent the greatest company around!

Funny Friday
THE STUTTERING KITTEN FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD...YOU NEVER KNOW.
A teacher is explaining biology to her 3rd grade students. She says, "Human beings are the only animals that stutter."
A little girl raises her hand. saying, "I had a kitty-cat who stuttered."
The teacher, knowing how precious some of these stories could become, asked the girl to describe the incident.
"Well," she began, "I was in the back yard with my kitty and the Rottweiler that lives next door got a running start and before we knew it, he jumped over the fence into our yard!"
The teacher exclaimed, "That must've been scary,"
The little girl said, "It sure was. My kitty raised her back, went ' Sssss, Sssss, Sssss ' and before she could say ' Shit, ' the Rottweiler ate her!"
The teacher left the room........

"You Can't Handle the Truth."
One of the greatest movie lines came from A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson yelling, "You can't handle the truth." How true is that? No one wants to hear the truth, they want to sugar-coat it to make it more nice. Why? Is that to protect our feelings? Guess what, GET OVER IT.
In high school I lied to my parents to "protect them." They didn't need to know what was going on with me all the time, did they? Well, guess what, they knew exactly what I was doing. I mean, growing up in a small town of 350 people, they knew where I was, what I was doing, who I was with and they didn't even have to make a phone call. All they had to do was go into Pipers Grocery Store or the Grange and find out everything.
As I've gotten older, I've made peace with mom and dad with all the lies I told, and since then really haven't lied. You can ask a lot of people that I just can't lie anymore. Sometimes I wish there was a filter button inside my head instead of just blurting out the truth, but then again, people just can't handle the truth anymore.

Identity Theft
Well, I have been the victim of identity theft. Apparently the purchase came from a Macy's store in Ohio from a late night shopping spree and an online purchase from MAC, a makeup store, according to the Wells Fargo banker. My card has now been cancelled, have to wait 5-7 business days to get a new card, a temporary one can be picked up at my local branch, then it will take up to two weeks for my money to be put back into my account. I asked, "What happens when this ends up bouncing my other pending checks? You will be covering those, correct?" She said, "Yes. If that happens, it will be another 10 days after the overdraft has been completed before I see any monies received back."
All I can say is: To the person who stole my card information, I hope you're feeling good in the new clothes and makeup I bought you. You're welcome!
