For those who share my guilty pleasure...
Dog the Bounty Hunter. The show has been reinstated and new episodes premiere July 16 on A&E. I just watched a rerun that I had not seen, with some kids from Make-A-Wish...cried like a baby. Whenever I feel inclined to make a judgment about someone based on their appearance, I think about Dog.

"In 1979 Texas Department of Corrections let me loose and they said you know what - go be a productive member of society. I said what? Here is 200 dollars for 18 months making all those big rocks little rocks. Texas was hell back in the seventies- now go do something with your life. I walked out- there is a big clock in the Texas penitentiary and it said high noonsville. I flipped it the bird and cashed my check and away in life I went. Everywhere I went for a job they said what did you do in your past- I said - will discuss. Have you ever been convicted of a felony? I said will discuss. My own father said - you can't get a drivers license, you can't vote, you might as well burn your birth certificate. I had one person that thought I could be something - that was my mother. My mother was part ________ Indian. She said- no matter what son- the sun rises on you. I ain't nothing special- I'm five foot seven soaking wet I'm 200 pounds. What I had was heart and faith and I said I'm going to do this for every convict alive and I'm going to make sure the world knows just because we fell one time doesn't mean we can't get up and let out light shine."
"If you get a goal in your mind- go for it- you're not in hell yet, you can still make collect calls, you can still talk to your old lady, you can still have children and you can still love and be loved."
I found these drawings of B's on the kitchen table on Friday. I thought Uncle Jordan would enjoy them. I especially like Plankton. Or as J calls him...Clayton
As I asked Daniel and my mom...Why do they hate me? B took my lovely and somewhat expensive Flylady duster (that I've had for 3-4 years) in the kiddie pool and ruined it. She was shocked when I told her that it was not able to get wet. 
Our toaster oven started making a horrible burning smell last week. It turned out that for some unknown reason one of the wires inside melted a plastic connector. Daniel repaired it over the weekend. He's handy like that.
For a solid week at 7am every day this was going on across the canal behind out house. It went on all day...non stop until 5pm. They brought over a huge pile of trees and spent all day loading them into this giant chopper thing. There are 2 mountains of mulch back there now and all the equipment is gone. I'm hoping that means they are finished. It was apparantly from a road project nearby that they had cleared the trees and needed to process them.
