What a night!

Well, I know its safe to go to work tommorrow - Spitfires Won 2-1 over Kelowna tonight! Now as I type - The Wings are tied 2-2 with Obama's team..... they better kick ass tonight. Or a couple of certain co-workers will make my life a living hell at work. Moping......etc...and lets not forgot about DH - Oh Boy! He goes crazy over Detroit Play Off Hockey. Its Insane!

So I managed to watch the AI Finals Tonight. I totally think Adam rocked over Kris. This post has a great read on the show if you missed it. Never mind that it's titled 03/19/09 - its a big fat typo. BTW Kara's song SUCKED. Just felt the need to get that out there! Kris looked like he was in shock all night for being up on stage as one of the finals. Too bad it wasn't Danny!!

(((From all the shouting going on in my living room - I believe The Red Wings just scored! Go Wings!)

Back to AI:

And yes I voted! The little recording told me, "Thank you for voting for Contestant One!" Thank you very much. I do walk the talk ya know:)

Other News:

What a day! I have officially lost my glasses. They are somewhere in this house. Very Scary. DH & I have checked everywhere - and no luck. Even the custom officer searching my truck this morning didn't see them. Darn!! lol
After work We bought ten, I repeat TEN tennis balls for the pups. They were in heaven! It was like watching the Easter egg hunt for dogs. Max had 7 in his pile, poor Maggie only had 3. But at least she brings the ball back for you to throw it again *giggles*

I've been officially informed that the Wings Won! Whoohoo!!

It's getting late - I think I'm overtired with all this rambling here,,,,rofl.

Good Night!

Vote for Adam!

You can do a direct lift, use it as a sketch, or just be inspired by something in the layout. As long as it is obvious how the layout inspired something in yours. Then, post your layout in the gallery and post BOTH your layout and the layout you lifted back to this thread.

2. Your layout must meet the contest rules and guidelines to be eligible.

3. Your layout has to be newly created specifically for this contest.

4. You may share your layout on other websites.

You carry dog biscuits with you at all times
You would never, EVER have a garbage bin with NO lid on it in your house.
You can't see out the passenger side window because there are nose-prints all over the inside.
Poop has become a source of conversation for you and your significant other.
You have 32 different names for your dog. Most make no sense, but the dog understands them all.
You like people who like your dog. You despise people who don't.
You have a kiddie pool in the yard, but no small children
You talk about your dog the way other people talk about their kid.
You put an extra blanket on the bed so your dog is more comfortable.
You have baby gates permanently installed at strategic places around the house, but no babies.
