I actually like it. I say why not have some fun things that can be reused easily.

We went to fireworks the last two nights too, but had really crappy seats, with lots of power lines in our line of view. I took a bunch of shots last night, but only have maybe 1-2 that I could do something 'abstract' with, and that's pretty much what I expected when I realized what all was between the camera and the fireworks. I swear that next year I'm going to go downtown and scope out the entire area to find the perfect place to get a nice skyline view with the fireworks going off! I don't have a wide angle lens yet, I have that on my list and a Macro. But they are so expensive the Macro lens I want is about $600.00 and I haven't even looked into the wide angle lens yet. I was telling DH that I wanted to make sure next year we get a good distance away as well. I have one more shot next week at fireworks but it's really crowded their every year so I'll probably have people in my way. Oh well, I figured I can only get better with practice, right?

Very pretty, my fav is the 3rd one as well.

Awesome pictures, who was your photographer? Regardless they did a great job and you look beautiful. Congrats

Well to each is their own I guess. But at least the baby is healthy. Damn a guy can get pregnant and I can't.. Go figure.. lol

Just received this email from the foster mom of Beate "This is a new photo of the six week old girl. She had a bad weekend. Had me very worried! But, she pulled through and is doing great. Terrorizing the other dogs and eating good. She is a kissing boston. Might just have to ship her to the next kissing booth event. lol" Isn't she just the cutiest thing ever?

In the last 2 minutes of the show, I yanked the camera out of the bag, threw it onto the tripod, and got 3 shots before it was over. Nikki, I took my camera to the fireworks on Thursday night, it was the first time I tired to take pictures of fireworks and my only regret is that I wasn't further away. The fireworks were going off right in front of the house we were at so they were right above our head, so all my pictures were close ups.

Yeah, contrats to you both. Hope everything turns out perfect.

Gosh I can't remember how long we waited, I just remember thinking it took forever.. lol If I were to guess I would say about 3 months.

Great review and welcome back. I can't wait to see your pictures I'm sure they will be amazing

I only had a few guest, but nope no one gave us anything in Cabo. They gave it to us after we returned. I think they were afraid it would be stolen or something.

Oh I have some exciting plans, at 10:00 am we are heading to a couple that is interested in adopting our current foster (they already met him, we have to see if he gets along with their dogs before they adopt) Then at 1:00 we have to be back at our house because a new foster dog is being dropped off, and if that isn't exciting enough later on in the evening we have to drive out to some womens house that is 31 weeks pregnant and on bedrest because she wants to donate a couple crates to our rescue group. So yeah exciting times for us.. lol

Congrats Karen and Jason. Hopefully you two are having an awesome time relaxing on the beach. I have a feeling this year is going to be an awesome year for you both. Wishing you good times, health and hopefully a little bean.

You pet lovers need to see this. It's soooo cute.. YouTube - Lets see the Dog Whisperer do this!!

OH you guys reminded. Last week I was Umm on the forum at home. :-) and DH was making chicken on the George Forman grill, well DH was done cooking and went in the garage to clean up, I hear a noice from upstairs and the dogs go running downstairs to check it out.. I of course thought it was the neighbor. Well I hear DH yelling for me about 5 minutes later "Tam, you were on the computer and look what happened" I guess Morris took the last piece of chicken off the grill and ate some of it and must and threw it down for the dogs to finish off. I of course told DH it was his fault for not cleaning up after he was done eating.. lol I think the dogs must be training Morris to get the good stuff on the counters..

OK Seriously this is weird. Did you guys adopt your cats? I was thinking maybe since Morris was found as a stray that he learned to eat wierd things to survive.

ROFL, I would have taken a photo if I caught him in the act. Damn cat was probably on my bed last night with powder all over his face and I didn't even know.. lol Morris eats raw food, and cheese as well, but I though this was weird.

So many of you know all about my dogs, but I do also have a cat who's 3yrs old, and he's my first cat (we adopted him about a year ago.. hmm so I guess he's probably 4 now...) So get this... I swear Morris is becoming more and more like a dog every day. So today DH and I wake up and find a mess in the living room (thank you Mijo) so while Cain was cleaning up the mess I took Chulo and Mijo out to go potty. When I returned DH was sitting on the couch and said "hey Tam, their is another mess in the kitchen" At first I was upset and said "why didn't you clean it up" and he said "because I wanted you to see it first" SO I'm thinking "oh great, now what" When I walk in the Kitchen their was a box of powder donuts open and a donute was taken out of the box and was on the counter, partially eaten. Ummm since when does cats like powdered donuts? And don't even get me started with him knowing better then to be on the counters... lol Does your cats eat odd things?

Thanks Paula..

We are still trying to raise money for her surgery. She can't have surgery until she's 10-12 weeks old, but right now she is finally able to go #2, but requires a bath after each time. She is also has a tube and like any puppy wants to chew on the tube.

Happy Anniversary.. Hope you had a great day and was able to do something special.

I have to admit, I love when people use their real names or at least add their real names in their siggy line. And I agree you should change the "full member" to "Forum Mom" :-)

No worries, We were just trying to avoid you getting a mail box full of Spam.

Great picture Lisa.. I'm loving seeing siggies change..

Damn just logged on from home hoping for an update.. Umm can't you just go "to a meeting" and run to the closest CVS, then come back to the office to pee?
