Nest Watch 2009: Saturday!

It's a lazy dog Saturday! I can guarantee you I'm not doing a thing today except rolling around like a big snuggly puddle of love.

Guess what we found in the birdie maternity ward today? Leeetle behbee birdie eggs!

It's only a matter of time!

Love,

Lucy

Waiting and Waiting and Waiting...Finally!

Finally, our AC was fixed today! Boy, mom and I waited though. We waited, and waited, and waited some more! It was soooo hot! Finally the repair man called and said he was on his way... an hour from here! BAROOO!

I was so frustrated, so hot. I was so mad, I...shredded a bag of cotton balls!

I felt better afterward. Mom was very forgiving, since I was under stress. We all get stressed sometimes and have to shred something.

The repair man cleaned things and blasted 30 years of dirt out of the pipes, which exploded all over the bathroom in a muddy mess. Really, it was like a geyser of mud. If you're interested, I can tell you how mud forms in your AC pipes, and then explodes out of your sink drain. But you probably don't care. Anyway, all is well and now we are chilling at the polar temperature of 70 degrees, vents open and blazing. Our new thermostat rocks! We promise to be a little more energy conscious in the coming days, but tonight we're enjoying this little blizzard. Brrr!

LOVE,
Lucy

People, It's Hot. Also, Nest Watch 2009!

Hey everyone,

Our inadvertent contribution to Earth Day is that we haven't run the AC at all today... or many more days for that matter. Our AC is broken, and it's HOT! It has actually been out for a week or more, but we've been sticking it out because the nights have been cool. But today, in true Texas fashion, it was 97 degrees on April 22nd. People, it's just HOT! Luckily the repairman is coming tomorrow and is going to let us know if he can fix it or if we need a new AC. Cross your fingers and toe beans that the news is good! I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he's doing a good, honest job. Bet he doesn't suspect I'm handy with tools!

In other news, look what we found! Now we KNOW the nest is currently under construction. Mom took it down to look at it again tonight, and things look different. Can you spot the new addition?

This nest is made out of ME! Those birdies are going to be born with dog hair stuck all over them, and no birdie sized lint rollers. Yikes! Mom is laughing because there are just clouds of my fur all over the house, and she'd happily lend it to the birds if they want it. So, with this new development we know that the birdie maternity ward is under construction. I can't wait to see what's next!

LOVE,

Lucy

Where dem baby birds at?

We found a bird's nest in one of the plants! Mom kept thinking the plant looked funny, and finally she took it down and found this little birdie maternity ward:

Sadly, no baby birdies. Where'd they go? Did the nest just get built? So many questions. We just put it back up there. We'll let you know if anything happens, like if some eggs appear in it.

Sunday Photo Study: Cuteness

This was mom's idea. I'm not a shameless self-promoter, as it may appear when one posts tons of pictures of themselves looking adorable. But it IS true, so why not?

Mom got me a new bone today, which is always reason to smile!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! What a beautiful day it turned out to be. It was pouring down rain this morning, and mom was so tired. Mom is sad that she didn't get to see Grandma and Grandpa today, but they understood and said we could visit another weekend.

Well, the sun came out, and it was a gorgeous day! Mom went to church and heard a great sermon titled "It Isn't Over." The pastor talked about how God isn't done with us. Good things are still to come. You know, that's good to hear! I guess he said it better than mom or I could, but that was the main point. Then mom went over and had BBQ with Aunt Amanda and Uncle Terry at their family's house. I hear there were two cute kiddies and lots of Easter eggs! I wish I could have been there.

Later, Aunt April came over, and brought us the Willie and Bobbie Nelson Gospel CD that they love so much. She and April like to sing the songs on the way out to the horse. It makes them really happy! So, here's a link to "Lilly of the Valley" because it goes with the theme of today. No matter what you believe in, Easter Sunday is a great day to think about hope and new beginnings. And any day is a good day to listen to Willie, according to mom and April. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8v4Emivg4w. It looks like his lips are actually singing something else in the video, but you still get to hear the song and see him in pigtails and that red, white, and blue guitar strap. Awesome. Click on the link!

Hope everyone had a great day! Happy Easter!

Love,

Lucy

Happy Easter, Bunny.

I've got some advice for you, Peter Cottontail:

Don't get to big for your britches, okay? Flopsy Hoppity Buns here, well he thought I might like some of those low-sugar, organic Easter treats in my basket. Let's just say I'm not so interested in THOSE kind of treats!

I'm just sayin', you know.

Housework Is SO Undignified!

It's Spring Cleaning time. Now that my 3 month vacation is over, mom is insisting that I start pulling my weight around the house again. UGH! Really? So undignified.

What is this Cold War relic, anyway? It's Kay Kay's Electrolux, on semi-permanent loan for deep cleaning jobs. Mom says it really sucks! Dirt, that is. She assures me it's not a leftover Soviet missile, so I guess I'll start getting to those corners!

I hope my readers start sending me advice requests soon so mom will ease up on the chores!

Love,
Lucy
