I have become one of "those" people
I am not quite sure how it happened, but it did.
I now let the dog come in the car with me on short errands. He knows to head to the car when I say lets go to Block Buster. This morning I went to McDonald's and yep I ordered him a sausage biscuit. He only got the sausage, but really did I need to order him food?
On Saturday's when the hubby gets breakfast tacos Bruiser get an egg and cheese one.
How long until I am buying ice cream and eating off any chocolate so the dog can have it? For those who don't know about this family joke, my grandfather would do that for his dogs. He would also take them to town for ice cream.

Sometimes posts on Facebook crack me up. Now that my nephew is on FB I am sure I will get lots of "gems". Youth overrules smart every day.
Every few years my in-laws pay for the entire family to go on vacation together. The last time we had a private island in the Thousand Islands. This year we will be at Lake of Ozark's and it seems that we will be close to Party Cove.
This has made the trip much more interesting for my two nephews. We were discussing the vacation via FB a few days back and it was about the amount of beer that would be consumed this year and would it be as much as we consumed on the island. If I remember correctly we (about 15 of us) managed to consume over 600 bottles of beer in a week. (If I am wrong the hubby will correct me and I will make the edit.)
During this FB conversation my nephew had to chime in on the beer drinking:

The bet
Maddy spent the night at her grandparents last night. Every time she is there her and her Grandmother play Go Fish for money and Maddy always wins.
Today she informed me that she had made a bet with her young man friend at church as well. They bet .35 cents and a hug that Maddy would win at Go Fish.
I have been informed under no circumstances are we to miss church on Sunday because she has to collect her bet winnings!

What a weekend!
This weekend I was able to be both sinner and saint and it was amazing!
On Saturday I went to a good friends house, met up with more friends and we spent the day on the lake in Austin. Of course we started with a healthy lunch as you can see below!
After lunch we had to prepare our margaritas for the lake. We hoped we would have enough! Thank goodness the cooler was filled with Vanilla Vodka, Red bull, Fuse, and of course beer. We also had whiskey to keep us warm in the cold, cold water.
We hit the lake about 1:30ish and had a ton of laughs, rest, relaxation and maybe quite a few drinks! I had no idea how much I needed a day of silliness and fun!
When I returned home on Sunday (nope no hangover or sunburn!!) I had to head to the in-laws for a little while then off to church.
One of my bestest friends and I made an English High Tea basket for the youth group silent auction. Included in the basket was a certificate for she and I to go to the winners house and serve them a proper English High Tea.
We were very excited to see the interest that was generated by our basket. We are now thinking of offering either a high tea or a Russian brunch once a month to help us both generate some income. The best part was we know that we raised at least $100.00 for the church youth group!
Even though the weekend left me exhausted it was great.

So many things are so wrong with this statement. I love the caps, the emoticon and the show stopper is talking about how you can drink cause Mommy said you could.
